Wait...I am confused here. By a couple of things.

Them switching from singles to a 2-disc set isn't too surprising, shows have done that fairly often enough. But...Volume 2 (which comes out tomorrow if I remember right) has 7 episodes, right? The first DVD had 6. That's 13 episodes. Whereas this set is listed as having 12 episodes...meaning a total of 25. Season 1 is still listed as having 26 episodes.

I'm not the best at math, but um...what? Is there an episode we're NOT going to get for some reason? It's not the one that hasn't aired yet is it, since we're getting a run-around on it's airing, I hope, gah.

Also, 'Tales from the Turtle Lair' is the web-comic with voices that the Nick website had up, right? If this is including parts 3-6, does that second disc have parts 1-2, or are we just not getting those either?

[CyberCubed]

Yeah, seems really weird as this set would go up to episode 25 of Season 1.

[NinjaPug]

Maybe they are considering Eps 25 & 26 as 'one' episode since its a one hour two-parter. Otherwise this doesn't make sense.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Maybe they are considering Eps 25 & 26 as 'one' episode since its a one hour two-parter. Otherwise this doesn't make sense.

...Oh YEAH. I forgot, they are doing that with the finale like they did with the premiere, right? And they treated both parts of that as one episode, at least in the menu, I believe.

That still leaves the first parts of the digital comic thing. Are those on the 2nd DVD that's coming out?

[CyberCubed]

Maybe they are considering Eps 25 & 26 as 'one' episode since its a one hour two-parter. Otherwise this doesn't make sense.

But that would still be double the running time.

[Bauer536]

All this time, why didn't they do this with the first 13 episodes?:tconfuse:

I thought we were going to get four DVDs, not three. Does this mean that THIS is Season 1, Vol. 2, and that they are going to release a set that contains both discs being released so far?

I can't answer the first question of why not just do this from the beginning (other than hazarding a guess at trying to nab all the more cash from them), but as for the latter, I doubt they will. The last Scooby show, Mystery Inc., started off as singles and then went to double-disc sets, and they never went back and re-released the early singles as double sets.

Different shows, different companies, yeah - but I'm still betting the first two will remain singles. I could see Wal-mart maybe shrink-wrapping them together for a slightly higher price though.

This isn't a re-release of the first two DVDs. This is the next 12 episodes of Season 1.

[NinjaPug]

But that would still be double the running time.

I didn't see a listed running time, only a # of episodes. I have no clue what they're going to include on this DVD but it would be odd for them to include the 1st part of the season finale but not the 2nd part.

Did the 1st Volume DVD list the pilot as two episodes? I'm holding out hope for the full season on Blu-Ray.

[CyberCubed]

Yeah I'm not buying any of these DVD releases anyway, but I still like to keep informed on what they release.

We might get a blu-ray set around Christmas time since these DVD releases will be done with Season 1 by then.

[Bauer536]

This isn't a re-release of the first two DVDs. This is the next 12 episodes of Season 1.

I already know that. But my question is when will they be released as a two-disc set if the next volume is?

[Chaotix12345]

Awesome to finally see the Nick toon move up to 2-disc sets. Definitely going to have to start following these releases now.


Also, 'Tales from the Turtle Lair' is the web-comic with voices that the Nick website had up, right? If this is including parts 3-6, does that second disc have parts 1-2, or are we just not getting those either?

Judging by the fact that one of the extras on the Enter Shredder DVD is "digital comics," I would assume that parts 1 and 2 ARE included.

The last Scooby show, Mystery Inc., started off as singles and then went to double-disc sets, and they never went back and re-released the early singles as double sets.

Actually... (http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Scooby-Doo-Mystery-Incorporated-Season-1/18594)

I ended up looking that up myself, so yeah, I'm happy that seems to be the case.

Actually... (http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Scooby-Doo-Mystery-Incorporated-Season-1/18594)

...Huh. I'll be damned.:lol: Though that's a complete season set, which I think we could eventually get for Turtles. What I strictly meant was I don't see them going back and making a 2-disc set just with the first 13 episodes alone. Stranger things have happened though.

[FlawedCoil82]

Surely they aren't going to be stupid enough to skip the entire 'I, Monster' episode, right? :ohwell: That would totally suck big time.

[LivingMutagen]

Surely they aren't going to be stupid enough to skip the entire 'I, Monster' episode, right? :ohwell: That would totally suck big time.

That's in the second DVD Enter Shredder. First DVD had 6, second has 7, 3rd has 12.

[Toby Barrett]

According to this review (http://www.amazon.com/review/R1KX75XRCNSE3E/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00CD45J9S&channel=detail-glance&nodeID=2625373011&store=movies-tv), it ISN'T on the set.

[CyberCubed]

The Rat King episode must have been too scary for little kids. I wonder if this will prevent him from appearing in any future episodes too.

Why Nick decided to make Rat King look like an undead priest is beyond me. Shame if true.

Totally :roll:
It aired on TV, it airs quite a bit. It's not scary at all, even for kids (my brothers, 6 and 8, enjoy it)

[LivingMutagen]

According to the review, they switch New Girl in Town and I, Monster around on the DVD (it mentions Karai so yeah)

[JTH]

I don't get what people are talking about saying they "Skipped I, Monster"

They are going by how they aired on TV, New Girl in Town aired before I, Monster despite the episode order saying otherwise.

The same thing was case with the original Star Trek DVD Season releases (Done by air date and not by story order), which was a DVD set also done by Paramount.

[ToTheNines]

You're backwards. I, Monster aired first but was supposed to be in between New Girl and Alien Agenda.

[JTH]

Just looked it up, you're right. So now I'm more confused.

If they're going in proper order, what are people complaining about?

[ToTheNines]

They're just afraid. I don't think it's anything to worry about though. I guess everyone's still shaken up over the "Planet of the Turtleoids" thing lol.

[CyberCubed]

I think people are more confused as to why the first volume was split into two parts, while this second set has 12 episodes and finishes Season 1.

Why didn't Nick release them as half season sets to begin with? Why the first two volumes?

I think people are more confused as to why the first volume was split into two parts, while this second set has 12 episodes and finishes Season 1.

Well, to make more money. That's what Warner Bros. did until they realized people didn't want to spend 20 bucks for three episodes.

[Jade]

Wiki says that ''I, Monster'' aired on Jan 25th and that "New Girl In Town" aired on Feb 1st.

But lists the production numbers as being 114 for the former and 113 for the latter.

So these sets follow production order and not their air dates?

[Lightjump]

If the dvd is called the ultimate showdown, then I assume that the hour long season
finale is called the ultimate showdown, considering the news and dvd titles thus far it is logical to think since the last few where named after key episodes in the dvd set, (Rise of the turtles, Enter the Shredder UK).
So yeah that's it, kinda a guess but eh.:tsmile:

It looks that way. I'd just like to know what the intended chronological order is.

Good guys, Bad guys, and explosions. Just like a Michael Bay movie.
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the Ultimate Showdown, our Ninja Turtle finale.


...Sorry, that's all I got.

[BabyTurtles]

wait......if the 1st dvd is supposed to have a leo bio....and the 2nd have a donnie bio......then the 3rd must have a raph bio
.....so if this is the last dvd....does that mean no mikey bio T^T?

(....until season 2??)

hmm my concerns are different then everyone else's XD

Since the 3rd set has two discs, it probably features both Raph and Mikey bios.

[veemonjosh]

I don't think we have anything to worry about in terms of a missing episode, despite the cover saying "12 episodes".

The runtime is listed as 312 minutes. Assuming that doesn't take the special features into account (which likely won't have a huge runtime in themselves anyways), you divide 312 by 12 episodes, you get 26 minutes per episode, which is a bit long. However, you divide 312 by 13, you get 24 minutes per episode, which is the typical length of a modern half-hour cartoon without commercials.

TL;DR: They're counting the two-part season finale as one episode. There won't be any missing episodes, and we're technically getting 13 episodes.

[BabyTurtles]

okay, then I'm good :3 .....but I don't see why I'm complaining in the first place...I already bought all the episodes on I tunes XD...

[FlawedCoil82]

Well, I feel much better about this dvd including 'I, Monster' after reading the description on Amazon:

"It's nonstop ninja action as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles face off against new enemies and old, including the Rat King, Cockroach, Baxter Stockman, and more! All this, leading to the ultimate showdown against the Kraang and the Shredder himself!

http://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Ultimate/dp/B00DTRR3XS/ref=pd_sim_mov_2

So looks like no worries. :D

[CyberCubed]

I guess those years of complaints have finally been reassured.

[Gyt Kaliba]

It also seems to reveal that the Kraang and Shredder are going to be working together in the 'ultimate showdown'. SPOILERS! ...That we could already see coming. :P

[Toby Barrett]

Makes me wonder, what if season two is split into three dvd sets as well? The first half being split between two one disc sets and a third two disc set?

[JTH]

I doubt it honestly. I think Volume 3 will be the test release to see if sales tell them to go with 2 Volume or go with 4.

Translation: Send a message to Nick, if you want more episodes per release, buy Volume 3.

Of course...(Coughs)...you people should be buying them anyway.

[CyberCubed]

I won't be buying them. They're a waste of money but they're good for parents to buy for their kids so at the same time I'm glad they're being released.

I'll wait for the rereleases.

[Leo656]

You're insane. People aren't "wasting money" by buying a product that only guarantees they release more product. You'd best hope a million people "waste their money" in such ways, or you'll never see those "complete sets".

...Which we still have NO promise of ever seeing, anyway, so... yeah. It's like $10 dollars, man. I'm not even going to repeat my spiel from yesterday about how Nick is pretty much the single WORST distributor of *their own shows* on DVD in the history of the world, so we have no reason to expect them to get their sh*t together now.

I know they released ONE full season set of a popular show recently, so don't feel like you have to repeat it. I heard ya the first time; it's still one case out of hundreds, so it means nothing. "Lose Your Illusions."

[BubblyShell22]

Well said, Leo. If I get this, it's not a waste of my money since it has episodes I really like and I'll be able to watch them whenever I want to. Plus, we'll be getting the next volume in three months, so that means we'll have the complete season in four DVDs if the third one is a two disc set. That's not bad at all from where I'm standing.

[Leo656]

Plus if they do come out with full season sets eventually, you could always re-sell the earlier ones, trade 'em in somewheres, pawn 'em off to a niece or nephew, whatever. And you'll have already had the luxury of having watched the episodes at your leisure, only now they'll take up a fraction of an inch less shelf space (which is, at the end of the day, the only real "benefit" the full season sets would have, anyway, and that's a very minor "convenience").

Buy more, they'll make more. REAGANOMICS!!! :tlol:

[pkicker]

Does Season 3 of the 2k3 series ring any bells? ,if one waits to buy a release, one isn't necessarily going to get.

They never did release a season 3 set and every one has been looking for the 3.1 and very hard to find elusive and costly 3.6 Turtles Against Hate set. There has been no Back to the Sewers released nor a proper length Turtles Forever Disc. I've learned my lesson w/ season 3 buy new or your probably not going to see it.:tcry:

[Leo656]

Yeah, I'm seriously glad I stalked Best Buy every single weekend back in the day and picked up every TMNT 2K3 DVD that came out as soon as I saw it; there were usually only one or two copies on the shelf, and after I got mine, I'd almost never see another copy. I missed one, maybe two of the last ones to come out, not 100% sure, and now they're among the ones that are hardest to find. I'm pissed; I was *thisclose* to having the entire show on DVD, more or less, and I never will, just because of the one weekend I decided to stay home instead of go to the friggin' store after getting paid like I usually did.

I take nothing for granted anymore. They want to throw me scraps, fine. It's better than nothing.

[Ninja Tiptup]

When they started releasing the show I was a bit worried they'd do 5 volumes, only the first one having 6 episodes. Just the other day I found out volume 2 had 7 episodes and figured they'd do 4 sets and I was fine with that because I felt they were reasonably priced and good quality. Now that I know the rest of the season will be on 1 set, I'm very pleased with this DVD release. If they continue doing half season sets then I'll be buying all of them.

I'd be willing to double dip for Blu-Ray season sets but otherwise I'm quite content with how Viacom is releasing the new show on DVD and would recommend purchasing the DVDs to anyone who wants to always have the show.

[CyberCubed]

Since they won't release Season 2 DVDs too early until a number of episodes air, I wonder if they'll go back to the first 13 episodes and re-release them on the same set now instead of two separate DVDs.

[Donatello19]

I'm kinda waiting till these get a price cut....yeah, yeah I know...10 dollars isn't that much but I still don't feel like it's worth it..

[Leo656]

$10? That's more than fair. Stuff isn't free, it's a business. I'd argue over $15 is pushing it but $10-$15 is fine. It's TMNT, for crying out loud, of course it's worth it. For $10 you get more minutes of content than a feature film on DVD, what more could anyone ask?

I mean cheap is nice but I don't expect things free or anything. As much as I love TMNT, throwing in $10 every now and then is the least I can do. :lol:

[JTH]

Considering ITunes sells the episodes for 2.99 an episode and is selling everything on the Volume 1 & 2 (Minus "New Girl in Town) for 29.99, I'm guessing you guys would rather pay for that right? :lol:

it may be of worth for you to know that there ARE a 2k3 season 3 dvd box sets 1 and 2.in fact I have them and they are a delight.I guess they were manufactured in less quantities?or much less advertisement for them has been done?I dont know...
and there very well IS a proper length turtles forever dvd disc out there.
its the british release with the original poster art for the movie..didnt you get to see this somewhere?

on topic:
I agree very much with leo656 here.I bought all the dvd sets so far and am very happy with them.to see the episodes whenever you want is nice and the sound and visual quality of these dvds is amazing!its reason alone to get these sets and re-watch episodes I ve been seeing so often its almost ridiculous;)
and 10 dollars is a great prize!

[Luke795]

[ToTheNines]

So I just got Kraang Invasion in the mail yesterday, and it's the "Raphael" set. I wonder which turtle will be highlighted in the Region 1 version of Ultimate Showdown...

Yeah, good luck with that one, LeotheLateBloomer. I'm not going to wait and get this whenever I'm able to. I may not get it the week it comes out, but I'll still get it when I think about it for sure.

[Ramboraph4life aka Matt]

Someone was telling me that on some of these DVD's, there was stuff cut out of the episodes (although, no idea what or why that would be?).

So I just wanted to confirm if there was any truth to this, or were they just pulling my leg and being an idiot?

I have the first 2 and haven't watched them yet. But I don't think anything would be cut.

[BubblyShell22]

The only thing cut out is the theme song on some eps. Other than that, the eps play just the same as they did on TV.

I remember hearing that too, but as far as I know it's not true. Specifically, I recall them saying it was little things like Pete being revealed behind April as she starts walking before he gets zapped, and I know that that scene's still intact.

[raph27]

Region 1 Ultimate Showdown is Raph. It uses the same Raph-based turtle stock art as the Region 2 Kraang Invasion DVD. The fourth in the UK has a similar group shot, but Mikey's front and center. Above is a foot ninja head, Shredder's head, and a Kraang. I bet this will be the next Season 2 DVD for Region 1.

Me too. I always hated single-disc and multi-disc DVDs for TV unless they are a whole season. They not only throw it into one big mess, but it also seems like a way to make a quick buck. They're baiting you, guys. And you guys buying this are falling for the bait. I know we're probably going to wait a couple of years before the complete season gets released on one DVD set, but, hey, at least I'm not falling for the bait. :trazz:

Yes, you will wait a couple years, and you can thank the people that bought the individual volumes when it does. Because us investing in those volumes made the money enough to warrant Nickelodeon to put the time and expense to make a season set, and make a Blu-Ray set perhaps even further down the line for all of you waiting for that.

So you'll spend 39.99 for a season set rather than the separate volumes for 10 bucks a pop. So it'll be all worth for you guys that waited patently, you'll save a pretty penny. Literally.

Agreed in every part except about the Blu-Ray set. I'm sorry, but I don't see that happening. (I don't really see the point in Blu-Ray, anyway :P)

Let's do the math. Each volume up to volume 3 is $15, right? That's $30 combined with $20 which makes $50. Now, what I doubt will happen is $40 for 26 half-hour episodes. That would be a bad business idea, so it would be somewhere around $25 to $30.

Now, maybe I didn't get you when you said we'll save a pretty penny, literally. (I think you meant that we'll save an actual penny out of all this because you said "literally"), but if I'm pondering what you're pondering, you're not pondering right.

At Wal-Mart, they sell the separate volumes for 10 bucks brand new.

Volume 3 will probably go for 15 bucks for the 2 discs.

...Ultimate Showdown as Volume 4 is a UK release that's probably not coming over here, but the first part clearly shows a Volume 1-4 boxset. What I'm saying is eventually, and if now, very close in time, the U.S is going to get the same treatment.

Yeah, that's a UK release and not a U.S. one, so my point still stands. We may not get this at all, and if we don't, you guys will just be wasting your time waiting for something that may not be release at all. Not everything gets released here in the U.S.

Well, I guess I won because I bought into the 'Bait.'

People just need to shop responsibly.

I was able to get Rise of the Turtles and Enter Shredder used for about $5 each. This new one is $15. Wait a few weeks and more than likely you'll find it for around $10.

So I'll have Season 1 for $20 - $25 total.

If/when a Season 1 package is released, it'll at least be $30.

So I just got it not only cheaper, but I'll also have them a lot sooner than you (because again, to others who may not already know, that 'Season 1 Box set' is a UK release and not a US release).

So I'm glad that I 'fell into the bait.' :)

As for the 'Hating single disc sets'...it's only 3 DVD cases/volumes.

It's not like the 8 DVD's that made up the first season of the 2003 show. Which yes, with that I can understand why people waited for when they eventually did Season 1 part 1, & Season 1 part 2. But I picked up the individual DVD's in order to have the Peter Laird interviews that came with them. And thankfully, because I did that, I do own all of the 2003 show on DVD (including Season 3).

So, my point is...falling for the bait, as you call it, is not always a bad thing.

But I picked up the individual DVD's in order to have the Peter Laird interviews that came with them. And thankfully, because I did that, I do own all of the 2003 show on DVD (including Season 3).

So, my point is...falling for the bait, as you call it, is not always a bad thing.

I look forward to your full opinion on this show, if you do one. :tgrin:

I just picked this up at my local Meijer store. This time, there is not a poster included with it, but some kind of Lego TMNT comic book.

Well, I guess I won because I bought into the 'Bait.'

People just need to shop responsibly.

I was able to get Rise of the Turtles and Enter Shredder used for about $5 each. This new one is $15. Wait a few weeks and more than likely you'll find it for around $10.

So I'll have Season 1 for $20 - $25 total.

If/when a Season 1 package is released, it'll at least be $30.

So I just got it not only cheaper, but I'll also have them a lot sooner than you (because again, to others who may not already know, that 'Season 1 Box set' is a UK release and not a US release).

So I'm glad that I 'fell into the bait.' :)

Yeah. I didn't know at first, but then I just did it. Walmart had a two-pack for $15. Bought that. (and it had a poster!) I'm probably going to buy Ultimate Showdown soon, cause I promised a friend he could borrow it for a while. (He has no cable-this is the only way for him to watch TMNT.) and if a boxset comes out it really won't be anything special. Isn't a box set just the DVD's packed into a giant slipcase?:tconfuse: yeah, totally worth waiting for.

[BlueKatana]

Just picked up the set at Wal-Mart, tried to redeem my digital copy, and it says my code is invalid??

Anyone else having this problem?

It isn't anything special. I got it for the last two disks, and it's just VUDU sh*t. Can't even watch it without wifi. You aren't missing out on anything really.

Well, I have the digital copies from the first two sets and since I commute a lot so they are useful, I just want to complete it.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Managed to pick this up today myself, can't wait to get to re-watching all of Season One in one go in a few days hopefully, so that I'm fully prepared for Season Two's premiere.

I never did get a copy of the first two volumes that actually had posters (my Wal-mart kept gypping me there apparently), but this one did have the Lego comic thing. Cute, I guess?

Oh, did anyone notice that this set, while it is Raph-centric on the cover and he gets the first info file, the inside also has one on Mikey? This makes me think that they really were going to do four singles initially and this 3rd set being two discs finishing off season one was a last minute change. I wonder if the first disc or Season Two will be Mikey-centric at all then?

[Donatello19]

If you buy it at TRU, you'll get a free mini Shredder figure. First the video game, now this. It seems like we'll be getting the blind bag figures as bonuses for many different things now!

Just picked this set up last night from WalMart. About $16 after taxes 'n ****.
Right now watching TCRI for the first time.

Now I'm a 'lil annoyed that Rise of the Turtles is the only disc in the set without a slip cover.
I did spot the one copy with a slip cover at WalMart... it's still there...
And it's still destroyed...

My player started making a lot of weird noises on one of the earlier episodes on the disc. It's usually pretty quite and the image on the screen was starting to pause a little during this. I'm not sure if it's something with the disc or the player but it was really weird.

My one big complaint is that the only features these disc have are the stupid Mutation Of A Scene.
It SEEMED cool but in execution it's a pretty lame "feature".

Yeah. I didn't know at first, but then I just did it. Walmart had a two-pack for $15. Bought that. (and it had a poster!)

Not always.
Some shows are more or less that... like Burn Notice and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Others give you a 'lil more, like The Walking Dead is usually packed with features.

Nice. Enjoy the re-watch. :)

I was getting the same feeling as well. It's almost if they decided not to bother with a 4th volume and just added the last 6 episodes to the 3th one instead. The UK/Europe will get a 4th volume with a Mikey-centric cover and a box set (probably just a collection of all 4 volumes, like others have said) on November 18th.

It doesn't really make much sense, why is Nick taking a different approach for the UK in comparison with the USA? I have to say I prefer the method with three volumes, not to mention that personally I like the covers for volume 1/3 in the USA more.

[BubblyShell22]

I'm not sure why, but I'm glad it's only three volumes with two discs for volume 3. That makes it easier for us to have the whole season in three volumes. I swear, if 4Kids had done it this way, it would have been so much easier for them and they wouldn't have had to produce as many DVDs. I know they had season sets at one point, but I'm talking about before those came out.

[jdangerc]

Does anyone want to sell me their VUDU code for this?

Just got my copy today, though I haven't watched it yet. Got it at Walmart where there was a huge display down the center aisle by electronics. It was pretty awesome to see, and I'm so glad I got it. Can't wait to start watching it.

[FlogginMcMurryZombiePizza]

I didn't even know it was in the store lol
I saw 2 racks of them on the "new release" endcap, and some more on the expanded "new release" wall section with the other recently released TV shows.

Gotta say, in all honesty, these are perhaps the best episodes in the series.
I have just finished the 2nd episode with The Pulverizer. I think I have 3 more episodes (including the 2 part finale).

[BubblyShell22]

I haven't opened the DVD yet, but I'm glad we have a slipcover with it, which is cool to see. I'm just glad I have the whole season now and can watch it whenever I want to.

[FlogginMcMurryZombiePizza]

Just finished "Showdown".
Awesome episode. Very well done!
Overall I think Season 1 was a solid start to the reboot of the series. Many good episodes and the few lackluster episodes were not that bad anyway (where the other series' worst episodes were pretty groan worthy).

Looking forward to where they take Season 2.
I'm also really looking forward to what they do with Newtralizer, who's certified badass already! YEA Danny Trejo! Looking forward to his voice over.
Lots of good, promising stuff brought in, and lots of good drama for good storytelling as well. Really looking forward to how the whole Splinter/Shredder thing will unfoil.

[BubblyShell22]

I watched up to "Cockroach Terminator" today. I began to watch "Baxter's Gambit" but decided I would watch that another time as I wanted to see what else was on TV.

I swear those are both Nick's favorite episodes. For some reason those two seem to be re-run more than any other.

I think Mousers Attack! beats them both out

[raph27]

Turtle Temper and Baxter's Gambit seem to be rerun a lot.
I got the TRU Shredder mini-figure (minifigure is LEGO.) I like the two bios, but the comic was SUPER disappointing. It's just a bunch of the LEGO Club comics.

[BubblyShell22]

While the comic book is cute, I agree that it didn't feel like a full comic and jumped around too much with the stories. It should have just had one story in it.

[Storm Eagle]

Target has this on sale this week for $12.99, and they even have their exclusive copies. If I remember correctly, their copies come with turtle masks.

[marcelangelo]

hey guys, Im so psyched! today my three copies of the double DVD set ultimate Showdown finally arrived and I picked em up from the post Office!gonna eat something and then venture to a Buddy of mine to lay it in and Play some mucho butt kicking with the turtles!;)

[BubblyShell22]

That's awesome, Marcel. Have fun.

I was doing some grocery shopping this afternoon, and when walking past the toystore I got a feeling telling me to go inside. I ignored it at first but decided to check it out on the way back.

To my surprise I found the second volume "Enter Shredder". I had given up hope any of the TMNT volumes would be available in my country. (Netherlands)

They also had a case for the third volume, but oddly enough no DVD's yet. They said to give me a call when they receive those. (Although I suspect it may take awhile)


But I'm already happy with the second volume. In my country there are only TMNT episodes dubbed in Dutch on TV.

[BubblyShell22]

Wow. Awesome to hear, JH24. I hope they get more for you, too.

[turtle1237]

I pick up rise of the turtles FIRST, when it came out, Skip Enter Shredder, and pick up vol 3. A few days later I pick up the 2nd vol just so I can get the complete season on dvd.

I would pick up season 1 disk set in America if they add lots of features for it. But it needs bonus features.

[JH24]

Wow. Awesome to hear, JH24. I hope they get more for you, too.


Thanks, Bubblyshell. :) I hope the other DVD will come soon, but I have a feeling it'll take awhile.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to watch the second volume yet, hopefully I have some more free time coming weekend. I did test it out though, and it looks beautiful. I'm so glad to have the original American/English voice cast now.
