Being basicly a "noob", having all my tapes and comics ruined years ago, I am extremely excited about the release. I only found out about it last week, and I'm very pumped. I might actually be able to participate in some of the inteligent conversations that go on around here. :D

My friends laughed when I told them the release/shipping date here, Arpil 20th. Also called "420: National Weed Smoking Day". We're all non-smokers, but they were joking around about how everyone will be toakin' it up while watching the turtles. Kind of sad that there's a national holiday for pot... Oh well, I'll just get high from reliving my childhood, watching hours upon hours of "the mean green". So many possible related inuendos...

Are we talking about an eminent release of a DVD of the NEW show, or the one that is being released of the first five eps of the ORIGINAL, which has the bonus eps on it? I'm confused.

The release of the old cartoon, I believe. :)

Ah... ten days, but it shall feel like an eternity. Plus I'll have to wait till after my birthday to get it.... but It's gonna be great.

Although I like the new series better, It's great to see that I don't have to buy those overpriced old slp dubbed tapes from that video stroe anymore to experiance 80's turtledom.

Hopefully thewse will sell great, and more TMNT DVD's are on the way!

My flatmates and I are so excited...we'll have to save it for the weekend to watch so we can play a drinking game. :P
If someone would have told me that I'd be this excited over the DVD release of a cartoon in my twenties back when I was a little kid, I would have said 1.) What's a DVD? and 2.) You're yankin' my chain! We'll never grow up, ha ha! :D

Old TMNT? On DVD? Hell YES! Oh man, it was my favorite show when I was younger, and I still love it. I'm definitley getting it! :D

I'm gonna buy it but the fact the episodes from season 10 are the bonus brings it down for me.

It's been a long time coming. It's almost hard to believe it's coming out.

Jester
04-13-2004, 02:52 PM
actually the season 10 "Never before seen" are the selling point for me....although i did not see much of that season anyway. Oh well the first season rocks anyway.

Turtledude2k3
04-13-2004, 03:06 PM
I'm pleased with everyone posting on here. Yes the bonus episodes are a welcome to me cuz I never seen these episodes either. This dvd should sell like hot cakes and then the company that released this dvd will have to release the others so we don't go all insane over the dvds! Haha.

so, these "never been seen" season ten eps aren't gonna have Rob Paulsen as Raph, huh? :(

I'm glad to hear we'll be getting it right away in Canada. Unlike every other Turtle product that's come out in the last year.

Nope. I think it's Michael Gough for that season.

Yeah.,.. that's why i stopped watching the show. For that kind of more sarcastic jokey Raphael, Rob Paulsen was the only one who pulled it off wonderfully. Though for angry jerk Raph, the guy from the new show and the guy from the first movie were great.

OOOOHHHH 6 more days andd counting!

I am confused, but excited. Are you people saying that they are going to release a dvd with the original shows "Heroes in a halfshell" "The Shredder is Splintered" and "Hot Rodding Teenagers" plus some bonus shows? Have I interpreted this correctly? Can anyone tell me exactly what shows are supposed to be on it and what official website I can view? thanx

I know I'm a noob but I been reading these forums for a couple years and wanna say I went to my local saturday mantinee today looking to get Vol 6 The Shredder Strikes back and the guys said the computer wouldnt tell him if they had any in so we went to check to shelf and to my disbelief was 2 copies of The Season 1 Classic cartoon!!!! I had heard that it wasnt coming out til the end of the month so I wasnt looking for it. It was 15.99 and came in a regular snap case with a cardboard holographic foil shiny sleeve thing. Im watching it now so I cant give u reviews of the unreleased episodes yet.There are NO extras and the menus are blah with no music. The dvd transfer is also of the lowest quality I have seen in sometime its almost like I am watching a tape. The sound is not good at all ( watchable but not wut I have come to expect from dvds).


Any questions ask here. and keep a look out for your stores to put them out early.

It could be a bootleg. Also a lot of times stores get them in earlier and aren't officially suppose to sell them until a certain date but do.

At Suncoast we get all our shipments in on Friday. Should show up then. It'll his the shelves, legitimately, on tuesday. Since I have Japanese class I'll have to pick it up on Wednesday.

Sweet, though from Sixxer's review, not but better than my VHS copy of the miniseries.

4 more days, When it's out I'll order it off of Amazon, not sure if my target would have it in stock.

Otherwise it's good it's coming out on DVD. Good for the people like me who haven't seen the show in years. Some of these episodes on this DVD i never seen before. I know I never seen the ones with Dregg.

I wounder if they play the 3rd TMNT intro for the Season 10 episodes, you know the one with clips from TMNT 1.

There's a chance Season 2 might come out as well.

3 more days intell it comes out. I told my friends about it and will reddy two go two the store and get it on the 1rst day. As four Season 2 i hope it dose and then they coud bring out Season 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10

DrSpengler

Well, we got out shipment in at Suncoast last night.

Only 1 copy of the DVD arrived, and that was the one I special ordered for myself. So it appears that retailers aren't showing much interest in the title, at least not where I work. But if your local video store doesn't have it you can ALWAYS special order it from them.

Legally, I can't buy the DVD until tuesday. But the box is rather nice. It has a cardboard sleeve wrapped around the plastic case (so you can slide the case in out out of the sleeve). The sleeve is rather nice, with a "foil" pressed image of all four turtles standing next to the logo. The picture is...um..."bumpy" (I can't think of the word). In that the image kinda strotrudes outward...ya know what I'm talking about, right?

THe back describes the show but uses a quote fromt he NEW theme song.

"One! Live by the code of the martial arts! Two! Never fight unless someone else starts!"

They choose the worst line too.

The back has a small image of Splinter fighting a metal tentacle. THey don't mention Krang, Bebop or ROcksteady. Just "The Evil Shredder and his Technodrome."

I guess they're trying to trick fans of the new show into picking it up, despite the rather "wussy"-looking original TMNT on the cover.

The front cover has the heading "Include 4 never before seen episodes".

Anyway, that's what it looks like.

Thanks for the info. I hope it's false about the video and restoration quality. That would be a damn shame and make me very upset at the company who puts this out. By the way......some people REALLY need to take a spelling and grammer class here.

It would be really messed up if the audio/video quality is bad. But if it is 9 episodes on only one DVD that could be the reason why.

Then to me that just shows the laziness and lack of effort put into it by the company. And if that is the case, I will complain.

DrSpengler
04-17-2004, 04:55 PM
As long as the quality is better than my VHS bootlegs, then I won't be upset. I want to actually see the picture without static. That's all.

Syxxers
04-18-2004, 10:34 AM
The quality is 100 times better then bootlegs and a little bit then the old tapes. It lacks the underwater sound the old tapes used to have. Although the picture has some imperfections but I am gonna say that that's how the original copies of the show are and its nothing they can change themself. But hey I wont complain I am happy I got them on DVD uncut.
