Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - 4-DVD Set of 'The Complete 1st Season: The Beginning'

Scheduled by Nickelodeon and Paramount for early October!
Posted by David Lambert

Taken from: http://tvshowsondvd.com/n/20022#ixzz36vEs1Aup

4 discs in three amaray disc cases: All 26 episodes and bonus content from Rise of the Turtles, Enter Shredder and Ultimate Showdown. Gift Set includes sample of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Ultimate Visual History" coffee table book, and 10 min of additional bonus content accessed online (TBC).

Although the entire freshman season of the 2012 Nickelodeon show is already on DVD in separate volumes, fans asked for a full season set...and the studio has listened! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Complete 1st Season: The Beginning is coming to stores October 7th. It will only be available on DVD format; there is no Blu-ray version on the calendar at this time. Early cover art is below, but it may not be finalized and could be subject to change:

And they're the exact same discs from the individual releases, so not really missing out on a lot by giving this a skip. Cool for the peeps who wanted the whole shebang in one purchase, though. Wonder what kind of additional online bonus stuff they have in mind...

Nick you have to do two things:

- Release the Nick show on blu-ray

- Release the 4kids series in a complete series or season sets

Only then will we be satisfied.

I've already got the original releases and this is... just those same releases packaged together, so there's no point in picking this up. The cover art is also pretty weak (Seriously - why is "The Beginning" so much bigger than the actual show logo? Weird choice, guys!).

I will gladly double-dip if we get a decent Blu-ray set, though. And I'm kind of amazed that they're finally putting out a full season set but they're specifically not releasing it on Blu-ray. You're leaving money on the table, Nickelodeon!

It's handy having all your discs together but this is not worth double dipping for.

I think people buying this set will be the people complaining in another few months when a blu-ray set is announced and claim how they don't want to, "triple dip."

I'm certain this series will get a blu-ray release eventually.

Nick has been on record pretty much since they bought the franchise that the only way you'll get what you want is if:
A. The new movie does well
B. You invest in the releases they put out initially

You want the show in HD, then buy it. It's available. ITunes has them, Amazon has them. There's other ways to get what you want. There is Hi-Def beyond Blu-Ray folks.

You don't want to invest in what you want, when it's available to you? Fine, keep whining. See how far that gets ya.

Plant your feet in the ground and hurt your own cause because it's not "exactly" how you want it, I'll laugh my head off when it never comes. :roll:

Just because one invests in something, doesn't mean that it'll lead to 'greater' things.

For example, I invested in all of those '3 to 4 episodes per disc' DVD's that 4kids put out back in the day. Even the 'single episode/Michelangelo-Christmas' DVD.

Why? Because in hope that me 'investing my money' into all of that would maybe lead to a better/complete set down the road.

Which didn't happen.

So, what did I get for 'doing the right thing' and investing all of my money into it (Other than being one of the few that actually owns most of that series on physical copies that's not DVD-R's)?

*A last season that never came out in the US, thus I have to own a 'DVD-R' of it along with the ones I DID buy. And sorry, I couldn't afford (at the time) getting that last season from Australia.

*Owning a series which is out of order.

If I knew that, I could have just waited, saved my money, and bought DVD-R's of the whole series off of ioffer (which at least the episodes would be in the correct Order) or something.

Where has a Nick gone "on record" about this?

Some people still like having physical copies of TV series and movies.

I first heard the news from this video which is from Zaranyzerak when he commented on the news that Michael Bay had made the Turtles "aliens" for the movie. Some people on here have probably seen his Turtles videos, but he is also an insider who I am personally friends with, is also good friends with Brian Ward (Creator of "Shout Factory) and gets a lot of information from behind the scenes.

Go right to 11:25 for the bit. *WARNING: EXPLICT LANGUAGE* "Watch at your own risk"

Oh, come on, guys. We're finally getting a full season set! Blu-ray would be nice, but it's not entirely necessary.
However, I do agree they still need to put the 2003 show out on DVD. THE RIGHT WAY, this time.
And that cover looks totally... with lack of a better word... badass.

:lol: Me too !!
I "almost" broke down and picked them up at Walmart last week. After seeing a 4th mini set come out, I was starting to think it wasn't going to happen. I could care less about Blue-Ray when it comes to cartoons. Epic sci-fi or fantasy mega blockbuster like Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR sure. But for this, I'm more than satisfied with a DVD set. :)

Blu-ray would be nice, but it's not entirely necessary.

It is if they want my money. The show is broadcast in 1080i ... the blu-ray is 1080p which has even better picture quality than the broadcast. Why would I spend my money on something that will look terrible on my TV? They make the show in HD, put it out in HD... why is this so difficult a concept? And I don't want a downloaded iTunes/Amazon/Google file ... I want a physical copy.

Honestly, I don't know anyone that still has a SD TV and just a regular DVD player ... this isn't the 90s or the 2000s anymore, lol. Asking me to buy a DVD is like asking DVD lovers to buy it on VHS. Seriously.

Wasn't this show rendered in high def animation? It's ridiculous that there is no amazing blu ray transfer. Nick is going for the triple dip here - sucker in fans with the single DVD releases, then do this nonsense season 1 release (with TEN, count 'em TEN minutes of online only footage hahaha) and then eventually let go with a Blu Ray that will probably be missing something.

Guys, don't play to the collector addictions and buy this set. Rewarding Nick with a DVD purchase does not encourage a Blu Ray release. Make them do it right and only buy the product that's worth it to you. That's how the free market needs to work to command to these organizations what we want.

Buying this dangling worm of a set is just as bad as re-buying Playmates "repaints" figures.

Sticking to my iTunes season subscriptions (1080p!) until blu-ray happens... if it never happens, then they'll never get me to double dip.

Not having blu-ray in 2014 is ridiculous. how many households don't have a blu-ray player of SOME kind? PS3, PS4, XBox One... they're everywhere.

Hey, easy man.
I have a great tv but just a regular sony dvd player and my last game machine was a sega genesis. Doesn't make me ridiculous.
I do agree with you on the double dip thing, but that's unfortunately the way of marketing. You want to see monstrous double dipping, just look at IDW. How many formats and collections do you need for the same comics.
Damn... I gotta buy a BluRay since you made me feel old. :lol:

It was a couple of years ago when I went to a Best Buy store, and one of the people there told me that they're actually selling more DVDs than Blu-rays. I'm not sure how things might be now, but I once saw an article that says Blu-ray is losing out to digital downloads now.

http://www.theverge.com/2014/5/1/5670786/sony-earnings-adjustment-impairment-charges

I may have gone primarily Blu-ray last year, but I won't knock those who don't have the means to play them.

For the record, I might have DVR, but when I want to record something to keep for permanent, I still have to work with a VCR.

Can't believe the DVD loyalty that is still going on in this day and age...

Streaming or digital downloads is a different matter. The convenience factor wins out over quality and the other benefits of having a hard copy like a blu-ray. You can't compare them 1:1

With dvd and blu-ray though you definitely can. There are people who like to say that because it's animation the quality difference is not that different or major.

Well see for yourself, just one of many, many comparisons you can find online:

http://www.pixartalk.com/2009/06/the-blu-ray-difference-with-pixar/

Now WHY would you pick dvd over blu-ray knowing this to be true... unless cost is the only factor that matters to you? Blu-Ray players are not expensive... and if you have a game system such as PS3/PS4/XBox One then you already have one anyway.

if you don't want blu-ray at least understand that it does have strong merits over dvd.

Doesn't matter that digital downloads and streaming have more market share than blu-ray. hard copies are not going anywhere because they have utility that streaming can't replace. There's also the matter of 4K and 8K slowly starting to come to homes... you start to run into technical limitations of being able to download/store/stream such huge files... hard copies are going to remain the answer.

I've been eagerly awaiting my chance to throw some money at this series, but I just can't see myself spending money on standard definition DVDs. Legend of Korra has blu-ray season sets. Spectacular Spider-Man got a blu-ray set. Green Lantern The Animated Series and Batman Brave and the Bold have gotten blu-ray sets. There's really no excuse for DVD-only anymore.

I'm really hoping Nick eventually gets their act together and releases the blu-ray sets a lot of fans are holding out for.

Nick you have to do two things:

- Release the Nick show on blu-ray

- Release the 4kids series in a complete series or season sets

Zulithe - Was talking to my 14 year old neice this evening and apparently she agrees that it's ridiculous to not have a blu-ray in 2014, but she went too far when she said DVD quality is total crap and that I probably can't tell the difference because my eyes are older. She's such a brat..

I completely agree that there is an obvious quality difference between the 2 formats. That's a no brainer. It's more a matter of how discerning your preference/taste is. For me, I like to see effects laden blockbusters in the theatre to get the full experience, but for my toons, I'm seriously ok with DVD.

The amount of people that don't have BD is astounding.
I asked my Computer Science class who owned a BD player, as I had some spares to give away. Out of 17, only one had one.
They all maintained there was no difference.. So, experiment time.
I played the BD of The Matrix into two HD 42" monitors I have set up. I set one to standard def playback and the other to 1080p. I had everyone sit around the two monitors. Within 5 minutes, everyone had shuffled their chairs around to the 1080p playback. There IS a difference.

That said, and back on topic, I'll stick with my DVD copies for now. Played though a BD up scaling, these do like good enough for now.

And, that said.... If I see the series issued on BD, I'm all over it !!!

Oh I agree that blu-ray is better visual quality than dvd... it just doesn't really bother me that much (I know, I'm a total pleb). Will I get a blu-ray one day? Sure, when my current dvd player dies. But until then, dvd-quality has worked for me for years; waiting a few more until the inevitable upgrade won't hurt me. :)

Can't believe the DVD loyalty that is still going on in this day and age...

There's still loyalty for VHS even nowadays, and there are such people who are under 40. I'm under 40 as well, and I guess there's still something nice about using a VCR.

There's some obscure material that has been on VHS that hasn't even made it to DVD. A lot of movies still have yet to go to Blu-ray, but I wonder if Blu-ray will even last long enough for them to.

I've been eagerly awaiting my chance to throw some money at this series, but I just can't see myself spending money on standard definition DVDs. Legend of Korra has blu-ray season sets. Spectacular Spider-Man got a blu-ray set. Green Lantern The Animated Series and Batman Brave and the Bold have gotten blu-ray sets. There's really no excuse for DVD-only anymore.

Except for maybe the cost of putting things out on Blu-ray compared to DVD.

When the first season of 2 Broke Girls was released on home video, it was put out on both formats. Somehow, the Blu-ray version didn't sell as well. That's why the second and third seasons are DVD-only.

Zulithe - Was talking to my 14 year old neice this evening and apparently she agrees that it's ridiculous to not have a blu-ray in 2014, but she went too far when she said DVD quality is total crap and that I probably can't tell the difference because my eyes are older. She's such a brat..

I also like having material on Blu-ray since I don't have to make adjustments with those. My Blu-ray player is supposed to automatically set DVDs to the right visual ratio, but some time after, I found that there were parts of the picture missing. So I had to make even more adjustments to make sure I'd get the whole picture. It's not a big deal with DVDs that present something in 4:3, however. Those are easy.

I might double dip on this DVD set mostly for two reasons. This will save some shelf space and being OCD I like having more complete sets instead of numerous individual/volume sets and I could always pass the volume versions I already have to someone else and spread the awesomeness of this new series. Plus, I HATE digital media and I prefer to have physical books, comics, CDs, DVDs and blurays. I have seen the HD digital versions of the show and this is definitely a show that should be viewed in HD if possible. It's kind of baffling that Nick isn't releasing a bluray set especially since The Legend of Korra is getting bluray sets and TMNT are showing that they are very popular and have a fan base large enough to warrant a bluray release. The release of a complete season 1 set on DVD is the perfect time to also release one on bluray as well. Maybe they just don't want to put the extra effort of authoring a separate release since there is most likely not much effort being put into the season 1 set since it's most likely going to be a repackage of the already existing releases (other tv shows have done this too). How can we get the word to Nick to make bluray releases possible?

Nope:
4 discs in three amaray disc cases:

Likely going to be the size of 2 DVDs, or even one. Not the same DVDs in the same cases.
And yes, I believe that was me :P I'm kinda glad they heard me and others like me. Never got the individual releases, so it looks like waiting it out was a good idea!

Not big on buying Blu Rays myself, as they usually are more expensive then DVD's. As long as can see the movie without interference, I really don't care if I can see the individual streak lines in the actors make-up job.

I'll definitively buy the season set.

The-Shredder

07-10-2014, 09:20 PM

I always try to get a Blu-Ray copy of something when I can, but in certain circumstances, that simply isn't possible, especially with old cartoons, so I just go with the DVD release for the time being.

However, I have noticed that some cartoons that are available on Amazon Instant Video or iTunes are in their original widescreen 16:9 aspect ratios, such as "The Batman" or "What's New Scooby-Doo?", which makes the buying decision a lot more frustrating since the DVDs are in letter boxed 4:3.

Since this is a fairly recent show, I expect a Blu-Ray release in the future at some point.

So if this is what I think it is then they couldn't even be assed to put the discs in a single DVD case, they're actually selling you all of the season 1 volumes with an additional box and a few extras that aren't on the discs. I suppose it could be more economical than buying each separately if you had not done so and the bonuses slightly sweeten the deal.

Meanwhile still no Blu-ray. Come on Viacom, you know those would sell.

Until that happens, I'm just going to put pirated episodes on a USB drive and watch them on my PS3.

I hope the new movie gets released on Blu-Ray, with Nick having a hard on for DVD I would not be surprised if the movie did not come out on Blu-Ray. I also would not be surprised if they cropped the show 4:3.

They should get rid of their HD channel and make all their shows from here on out SD only, they seem to love SD content. No point in making HD Content if your not going to release it right?

Seeing as how I already have Season 1 in 3 volumes, there isn't really a need to buy this one. I'd like it if the rest of season 2 would be released around that time instead. Wormquake, Wrath of Tiger Claw, and Vengeance is Mine are some of my favorite episodes from the 2nd half or season 2.

It's a theatrical movie. Of course it's going to be released on Blu-ray.

These releases not being put out on blu ray is getting ridiculous.:x

I'd only want this for the bonus features. That aside, I don't get what the big deal is with Blu-ray anyway. As long as I can understand what I'm seeing on screen, I have no complaints.

Then again...it'll probably take me a long time before I can get into Blu-ray or jump on the Blu-ray bandwagon. It took me years before I was accepting of DVDs and was fine with VHS tapes. :lol:

I brought it yesterday. So far the bonus features on the first 2 discs are crap. disc 1 had a really short making of a scene and disc 2 had a mini comic. Pathetic so far.

No. I just checked discs 3 and 4. And its more of that same comic from disc 2. They may as well have put nothing on it. Underwhelming is spot on.

May just be a region 4 thing. We always get jibbed on special features.

The question is who hasn't bought these things already? I see no reason to get this set unless my discs get warped or something. And I don't intend on waiting for next year or so for the season 2 complete set.

Ugh....sounds lame. I'm glad I've been buying the HD versions from Amazon as they come out. I can stream them to my TV whenever I want. If they made blu-ray I'd be tempted.

*ehem*
This set is for people like me who stayed patient and didn't break down and just bought it. I'm sure there are more like me.

I just came back from Australia and bought this 4-disc set while I was there.

Apparently it is called First Mutations in Region-4 (Australia) instead of The Beginning in Region-1 (US). Here are some photos of it:

Compared to the individual releases, you lose the biography of each turtle printed at the rear of the DVD cover, as well as the free poster/comic that was included in some limited edition individual releases. In addition, I found that some special features are missing too. Not sure if the US version will be the same, but there are certainly less content on the Australian set I got. Check out these screen caps of the DVD menus (US individual releases at top row, Australian 4-disc set at bottom row):

I'm thinking maybe, just maybe, the US DVD is encoded in 720x480 @ 23.976 fps while the Australian DVD is encoded in 720x576 @ 25 fps, so it uses more space and had to omit some special features to fit in one DVD? Hopefully if that's the case, the US set may well have all the original contents intact :trazz:

i say meh. i already gotrise of the turtles, enter the shredder, and ultimate showdown a few months back when target had a sale and cut down the price, one of them being rise of the turtles and enter the shredder 2pack for 9:99 previous price being 14:99 same as ultimate show down, 14:99 to 9.99

today target had sale again, mutant mayhem and the good, the bad, and the Casey Jones for 7:99 instead of 9:99. and i patiently waited for the right moment for target to put them on sale. i already have season 1 and half of season 2. just need to wait for them to release the newest disk to contain the recent episodes. i dont really need to wait for season one and two. i ain't gonna bother with that. i rather get whats out now, and have them in my possession to add to my 80s and 2003 series collection.:tgrin: i hope to hear news that will have The Manhattan Project, Part 1 The Manhattan Project, Part 2 Mazes & Mutants The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman Newtralized!
