So what do you think of these episodes. I think these are probably the best episodes of the third season. I can't wait to watch them again.

Long ago, in Middle-Earth, there existed a fifth volume of TMNT, the news of it's release schedule and information was welcomed with joy and jubilation, so momentous was that day of divine news, that many Hobbits still live on pretending the news is recent and groundbreaking, hoping to relive that day...

lol
Yeah, I just want info on volume 6 and up.

haha. You crack me up.

yea he really does, and I am ready for volume 5 release already and the ress of the episodes.

How many episodes will volume six contain?

... the final 11 of Molly Bode's Year Three.

It's news to me. :roll:

whih episodes do you think are the best from vol 5. Favourites of mine include: orporate Raidars from Dimension X, Pizza By The Shred, LEatherhead: Terror of the Swamps, Leatherhead meets Rat King, and my all time favourite episode Beware of the Lotus... What do you think?

Oh yes Krangstein, some of the episodes here are some of my faves, and were the ones i taped years ago, but were then rubbed over. "Corporate Raiders from Dimension X", "The Making of Metalhead", "Beware the Lotus" and "Blast From the Past".

Other people have mentioned this before, but the front cover illustration of Raphael is rather odd-looking and not the same style of look as in the cartoon, look at that chin on him lol.

I totally agree. You'd think they could plaster the cover with old, stock photos of the Turtles -- anything is better than this. Ugh...

I think the vol. 5 cover is much better than the vol. 4 cover, which was basically the picture of Donatello from Vol. 3, only bigger. vol. 5 is deffinately an improvement.

what would have looked best would have been a cover with the turtles fighting ret king, leatherhead, lotus, etc. it's the way to go but they never do it.
Hell if I knew who to talk to I'd put together some killer box art for them for free...but I don't know who to contact.

my faves:
"USAGI YOJIMBO"
"USAGI, COME HOME"
"THE MAKING OF METALHEAD"


That's still the butt-ugliest box-art I ever seen, even worse than 'Meet Casey Jones' with its heroine-addicted depiction of our vigilante pal. What do you think, Krangstein? :P

it's obvious that Lions Gate is trying to be like the new show, ehen designing the covers. You can see the Turtles look more like the 2003 version than the 1987 version. I find that very odd, that they'd feel they have to do that cause the 1987 show has a lot bigger fanbase and doesn't have to look like another cartoon series. Agree?

Definitely. It wouldn't take that much effort from Lions Gate's to make some decent DVD cases with classic 'toon art and a consistant design, like every other TV show DVD out there. :roll:

I know we should just all be glad the franchise is still around for everyone to enjoy, but still -- sometimes I can't help but shake my head at the poor decisions these companies are making, especially in regards to the DVDs (old toon and new.) 'Makes me so damn mad...

I think that starting with volume 6, Lion's Gate home entertainment should release the new Turtles DVDs in 2 sorts of cover:

1 for those who like the colorfulness and happiness of volume 1's cover,
the other for those who prefer the slightly more serious covers from volumes 2-5.

That's a really bad idea and will never happen.

I agree. They will do what they have been doing. Single disc releases with 12 episodes and bad artwork. What matters is the episodes. Lets be happy for those.

I don't care about the artwork either, just glad the episodes are finally being released.

I would love a re release of season 1 with commentary for each ep. I think those 5 episodes just have so much else that we don't know about that I would love to get insight on. That my opinion. They could make it a special edition type thing.

I think volumes 3-X should one day be re-released in a "season 3" boxset including a bonus disc with lots of extras.

They should have released a complete Season 3 boxset from the very beginning, instead of making us wait upwards of a year between each 12-episode DVD.

Well since the new DVD is coming out this Tuesday, i was wondering if everyone who picks it up could list where they buy it and for how much so that everyone knows where the best deal is and what stores carry it. I have found it hard in the past finding TMNT DVD's when they are first released. I have had luck at Bestbuy the most, so I will be trying there first.

BTW, has anyone written an e-mail to change the artwork? I would gladly sign a petition for that.

I buy all TMNT dvds at amazon. price is above. And I like the artwork.

Hehe... I got mine today!!! Why? Best Buy usually screws up and places the TMNT movies out either a day to 3 days early. I've gotten newer shows' dvds a weekend before they came out. I'm going to sit down and watch these eps now for these reasons: I either don't remember or never saw these eps when I was growing up. It's going to be nice to see some of them. I'll post when I'm done (if I finish tonight). Sorry you guys missed out and have to wait a day! ;)

lucky guy. Tell us what you think. what episodes you like the most :)

I can reccomend 2 dealers:

www.store4dvd.com
www.dvdworldusa.com

Bought mine at Target for $9.99.

It came with a 3-D holographic slipcover. Did anyone else's come with this? I thought it was a great bonus. Rapl's sai moves from left to right when you move the slipcover. The old school TMNT logo alo pops out, along with Ralph's head. If anyone wants, I'll post a picture. Great bonus!!!!!

Also picked up South Park seaon 8. Great season if you enjoy the show, probably the best season of the show.

Just got mine at my local Super Walmart. It was 9.48. Im going to watch it now because there are so many good episodes. Also I am going later today to get Darkwing Duck and Talspin Vol 1.

Ya, I was excited about Darkwing Duck and Talespin, just a little to pricey for me though. Let me know how they are!

Well, Best Buy has a deal on them currently.

Regularly priced at $24.99 each. If you buy both you save about $10 total, as they knock it down to $20 each.

Ya, I actually saw that but I just bought South Park Season 8 (free $5.00 giftcard with purchase at Target).

I used to watch both of those shows about as much as I watched TMNT (everday!) before I was in school or during the young years. I hope they have them for rent at Blockbuster because I have the movie pass there so it would work out well. Let me know if you see them there.

AND!!!

TMNT Volume 5 is terrific! Second best to Volume 1.

I agree with you, Vol. 5 has many great episodes. Already I can't wait for Vol. 6. I wish they'd speed things up with the releases.

Sat down and watched all the episodes today.

You can read my review of the set here:

But to sum it up; fantastic selection of episodes.

Great review! Really detailed...and it covered most of my thoughts when i watched it.

BTW, did anyone else get a 3D slipcover with thier Volume 5?

Yes. I think that's the norm. Like the Vol. 1 DVD had it's ordinary (non-morphic) slip cover -- but now it doesn't I've seen. So Vol. 5's may have a similar 'limited release', so to say.

Yeah, mine had the "3D" cover, too.

It was a nice break from the monotony of the previews DVD's cover art, though I *really* wish they'd stop altering the character designs so they'll look "cooler".

I just thought it was a nice surprise to not only find the DVD with no hassle (was on the new release endcap) but it had a nice 3D cover as well. I think it makes up for the terrible artwork. I also think the DVD's should at least include an insert with the episodes listed like the first DVD with original airdates and such.

Nice review. I really enjoyed it. However you did make a mistake. Rat King appears 5 times in the 3rd season. Enter The rat King, Return of The Fly, Pizza By the Shred, Leatherhead Meets The Rat King and The Great Boldini :)
