I got VOL 3
 
I work at BestBUy and I was able to purchase the VOL 3 of the turtles yesterday before the release date. Don't tell anyone though. This time Lions Gate shows some features on up comming movies. A new inspecter gadget CGI that looks awsome. Anyway the main page on the DVD is awsome. It plays the TMNT song with the four turtles standing around a sewer cover. When you hit play or go to scene selection you here the turtles say Cowabunga. It was well done. The only thing is the box art and the turtles on the selection screne need to be the classic turtles and not the new ones.

Because they can make more money that way... And keeping with the single disc release I suppose...

Yeah I think you're right.

I would like it more if they release a box for every season with 3, 4 or 5 discs. I like what they did with the Simpsons. I like those boxes for every season. TMNT deserve the same treatment.

Turtle Dove 12-05-2005 05:25 PM

Ya mean the old show right? Cause O recently ordered all 3 of them Vol 1 2 and 3. Dang Target didn't have them...my dad went behind my mom's back and almost got me the TMNT Movie DVD set tell she caught him and whined. He put it back but winked at me saying,I'll take you later.

Weapon X 12-05-2005 06:56 PM

Well, I'll be picking this up tomorrow, first twelve episodes intact. And I hate how they use new toon poses and brown knee and arm bands, that's not OS Lions Gate, lets get with it here.

cowabunga14 12-05-2005 07:14 PM

I dunno when I'll be gettin' this but it'll probably be before Christmas. I just hope if it gets reviewed on DVDuesday on Attack of the Show that Chris Gore'll at least give it a buy. If isn't reviewed, then I'll buy it anyways. I'll either buy this with my Christmas money or the money I have left over from a check I got in the mail.

sdp 12-05-2005 07:45 PM

it's only 10$ so not a whole lot,

the extras seem kind of lame but atleast we're making slow progress and the menus are a little bit more animated, hopefully we see a trend in improving, even if by little and by the time we get vol. 8 they'll be great ;D

SlayerX 12-05-2005 10:14 PM

Oh man, another DVD ill have to order from eBay :( !

Does anyone think they can pick it up for me? :D I can pay via money order, or pay via paypal after christmas, and ill pay shipping/handling and all.

Thanks

Sure why not :-) Drop me a PM

darthsmozers 12-06-2005 04:05 PM

I hit Best Buy, Circuit City, and Wal-mart....nothing! Of course, the Best Buy gal couldn't look up inventory on the computer worth a darn, so there are probably copies sitting in the stockroom somewhere...:(

Jed 12-06-2005 05:36 PM

Don't Best Buy always release stuff early? I got Shredder's Final Countdown a good two weeks before the release date.

You could try HMV. Since their site sells it, they may be able to order you a copy and you can just pick it up in-store when it arrives and they'll call you. You never know.

Wierd how we got Volume 1 and then 2 & 3 never came. Wonder why, unless stores just aren't ordering? I got mine off amazon.

zkarlette 12-06-2005 09:24 PM

You guys are lucky I havent found it yet but I guess it was the first day today:ohwell:

Yeah, you really don't have to worry about anyone telling, you told on yourself. Your loss prevention can track that stuff. Especially if you used your discount. I know this because I work L.P.

As for Best Buy releasing things early... It depends on the distributer. Basically, if it's a big name movie, no, it won't be released early. Something like a single-disk TMNT DVD might get released early... But I don't know about Lions Gate Films. 4Kids obviously doesn't care, because they continue to do it.

I picked up my DVD last night at 3 am (I had to work 2nd shift today) from wal-mart. They had plenty, however, it took 3 stores for me to find what I wanted. All you have to do is search around. The DVD was 9.68 or something of that nature. I also picked up Batman Vol. 4, being as that I already have the first 3! (Lions Gate Films and Fred Wolf need to take the initiative and get the rest of these out in multiple disks.)

X 12-06-2005 11:33 PM

If not in multiple disc sets, then at least more volumes per year...

-X-

DrSpengler 12-07-2005 09:48 AM

Got mine yesterday, but I've only watched a couple episodes so far.

Enter the Rat King was great. Liked the bit where the Rat King tapes a note to April's closet.

Weapon X 12-07-2005 02:36 PM

Got mine yesterday too, watched em all last night, I April's Fool was a joy to watch again, I remember having it on the BK VHS, plus it's one of the better ones out of the twelve, 50 Foot Irma, was not that good. :P

Sewer Bull 12-07-2005 02:50 PM

April's Fool is such a great episode.

Could you post screen caps of the main page, Weapon?

Geez... why... just... why? They just look like fan-art to me. :ohwell:

Peanut 12-07-2005 03:48 PM

I wonder why I still haven't seen the second volume in Canada yet. :(

I don't think anyone ordered it in Canada... When the first season came out, Walmart only had the VHS but I found it at Chapters that day. I have also seen season one in the music stores like Music World and HMV but never seen the next two (and I'm looking for the new disc)..

I don't know why no one orders it. I phoned Best Buy, Walmart, Zellers, HMV, Future Shop, etc and they had no record of it... Guess it'll be another amazon.ca order!

Ahhhhh! Those don't look ANYTHING like our beloved 1980-1990s turtles, and they don't even resemble the new show...

I mean, I would understand if it was a mix of the old and the new (wouldn't love it, but would understand) but this artwork is atrocious... It is like the artist was like "I want to take them in a different direction." I figured the art would just get better but Season 1 is the only season that seemed true to form...

And the neon colored backround of the disc boxes... Man, who comes up with this stuff?

zkarlette 12-07-2005 07:32 PM

I think that anybody here could have mada a better cover :ohwell:

It makes no sense to have that style of turtles on the cover

Shreddette 12-08-2005 01:17 AM

I ordered it online on Amazon today. Thought I did it earlier but I guess I refrained as it didn't show up.

Yey I am getting it sooooon! :evilgrin:

Yeah... is kinda disappointing and doens't represent.
Ah well, the contents matter most!

sdp 12-08-2005 08:22 AM

it is a combination of the new style with the old style, those are new style stock art drawn "old style".

I like the bright color cheesy covers since it resembles the old toon VHS's but hopefully we can get some better looking sets, the novelty is starting to wear off.

btw anyone from canada i'll buy the dvds for you, you'd just have to pay for the dvd and shipping :)

Turtle Dove 12-08-2005 10:11 AM

I got mine of of Overstock.com for 9.00 dollors,some users are selling it for 8.00 but with taxs and Shipping and handlng your better off with an online service that does 1.00 shipping or free shipping

BigApple3AM 12-08-2005 10:49 PM

Sky turtles is one of my all time favorite episodes (thanks to the bk vhs). In fact the majority of my favorite episodes are from season 3. My life will be complete when the great boldini, cowabunga shredhead, and super bebop and mighty rocksteady are finally released on dvd.

To the cover art thing: I wouldn't mind if they just used the old vhs art (in fact I would prefer that). Most of the art on those vhs tapes was really awesome. I'm glad I kept all my tapes.

Chef Boyarquoa 12-09-2005 08:26 AM

im definitly gonna pick this up soon. i still have all the BK VHS, Cowabunga Shredhead/New York's Shiniest VHS, Turtle Tracks/Enter the Shredder VHS, Turtles VS Rhinoman VHS, 4 Musket-turtles VHS and they all still work perfectly:D ! The only ones that r broken are Shredder Is Splintered/Return of the Shrdder VHS and Super Rocksteady and Mighty Bebop VHS:evil: . i will be so glad when i get vol 3 DVD

Turtle Dove 12-09-2005 10:38 AM

ok...did anyone look at the back on DVD 1?

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

this wasn't said in the old show but on the new show theme song:-? Did I miss something

deafcat 12-09-2005 10:45 AM

Yeah, I thought that was funny how they put the countdown in the new show's song on the back of a classic DVD cover.

I finally ordered a copy of Volume three. :D Those episodes are more of what I remember than the other two seasons.

Unfortunately it's from Amazon.ca, and it's on a 10-14 day wait time, with shipping date at the earliest on the 20th. It saids I won't get it before Christmas:( It's not available anywhere else here apparently.

Though I have had orders arrive the next day after they were shipped even with the slowest shipping speed possible so maybe I will get it before Christmas:evilgrin:

cowabunga14 12-09-2005 07:01 PM

I'll probably go to Best Buy tomorrow to get volume three. The price is around ten dollars, right? I just hope they have it so I won't have to get it some other time.

I have preordered from Amazon and I actually recieve the dvds on the same day the come out in the store. It almost always happens like that or only a day or two later. Preorders are the best way to go :D
