I Hold In My Hand Season 6
 

The Most Amazing thing came in the mail today, well sort of...
I got Old School TMNT season 6 box set in the mail today from an auction I won on ebay!
The reason it's only sort of amazing is that it's still missing "Once Upon A Time Machine " & "PLANET OF THE TURTLEOIDS Part One & 2", which is very disappointed but was not unexpected as they where not listed as bonus episode for the set.
Which leads me to my next gripe, they where doing so well with bonus features on recent sets, this one has no bonus's at all.
It's nice to have this set for these great episodes like "ROCK AROUND THE BLOCK " & "SWORD OF YURIKAWA", but like I said what it's missing is the frills they've given us with other recent releases, along with the missing episodes from last season's set.
Like I said I got this off of ebay, the seller had no images up for this, so I was a bit shaky but I only ended up paying $13.00 for it regardless so I didn't mind to much, but in the end it turned out to be the real deal.
The Art for the set is ok, the resort to using stock art again from past sets on the backside of the box, and on the DVD's themselves.
The menus are ok, the opening is interesting enough and sets itself apart from past sets, I do like season 5's layout way more though.
The thing that bothers me is that they stuck trailers on both DVD's yet they couldn't stick the missing episodes from season 5 on either one, and we have "RETURN OF THE TURTLEOIDS" on disk one making the flavor of this set even more bitter, because one could go "oh who is this character?, I've never seen him before".
But like I said that's my only gripe, I'm happy that I can now toss out my old VHS tapes that I recorded years ago off of tv when the episodes first aired.
I'd give this set a 8 out of 10 stars: Should have had those episodes.
I hope they make sure to include them on the next set as bonus episodes or something.

Thats cool, getting the DVDs 2 weeks before the release date. It sucks that this set is missing the 2 skipped episodes and lacks bonus features.

3 weeks before, actually.

But yes, is great. May see of looking for it myself next time I'm out shopping (and, if don't find it, the subsequent times - incase it is put out early at any store).

Nice! You have it already!

I do wonder why they choose to leave eppy's out and skimp on extras.
They hold them hostage for a later disc set, unknowing we were going to buy it anyway...
I can't complain about 13 bucks though that's about what it was running on amazon when I pre-ordered it

My bad it is 3 weeks. I remember last year a Walgreens by where I live was selling TMNT 2 weeks before the actual release date.

Yeah, I've had alot of early finds (mostly at FYE, but also have had some at Best Buy); with various DVDs. Some during the week before release, others 2 or 3 weeks prior.

very dissapointing about the no bonus features. I would have really liked to see an interview with ranae. The interviews on seasons 4 and 5 were really fun.

Yeah and I swear one of the sites said it was going to have bonus features???

Everyone seems to forget "Once Upon a Time Machine" was skipped as well... :(

I didn't, I mentioned it in my review.

awesome man! im watching throught the season 6 at the time and im really looking forward getting it on dvd:D

I count Planet of the Turtleoids as one episode because I'd perfer Lionsgate to release it as the full prime time special and not the split two parter.

I'm very glad that the TMNT Season 6 dvd box set is coming out in about 3 weeks!
My favorite episode is "Krangenstein Lives"!

Can we please continue to campaign to Lionsgate to get the missing episodes on DVD?

We best get started now before the next set gets too far into production like this one did.

yeah we need to make a thread with their contact info and whatnot that can be stickied or something. I'm sure krang wouldn't mind.


Awesome that you got S6 early, it was indeed a risky move, I wouldn't have bid on it since I'd have thought it was a bootleg. I need to go buy S5 to be up to date. Looks like i'm going to have to watch the two parter through other means before I get S6 though...

SWEET!

I will be getting all the OT seasons once I move and have more space. Right now I feel so cramped.

I will also be getting a bigger and new TV. My 13 inch TV was bought almost 16 years ago.

Thanks for the info. Now, I know that I'll be justified in boycotting this episode until the whole series is out... This is ********...

That's a really neat looking DVD cover. I like how it looks like an old-school comic book. I liked the look of the old comic covers, like the old Archie ones where they had a small pic of a ninja turtle on the upper left with the price and issue number.

Yeah, the seller was very nice though and had very good contact with me, but it was still taking a big chance.
I'm sort of glad I didn't sell my Planet of the Turtleoids vhs now...
I really wouldn't mind if they brough it out on a single dvd release.

Putrescent, I'm jealous of you! Are you enjoying the season six episodes so far?

Thanks for posting the info and the pics, Putrescent! It's disappointing to hear about the lack if extras and the fact that the missing episodes were not added, but sadly, that's not too surprising considering how disorganized Lionsgate seems to be with this series. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing these episodes again once I can get a hold of the DVD.

Sure, sounds like a good idea.

I'm loving them, These episodes and next seasons are some of my all time faves.
I just got done watching "Sword of Yurikawa" it's been ages since I watched that episode, and loved it as much now as I did as a kid.
I'm about to watch the now Bitter sweet episode "Return of the Turtleoids".:ohwell:
Sure thing Krang,
I think this release has some of the best Krang moments of the series in it btw.
It is very dissapointing and people should make their voices heard.

what was Sword of Yurikawa about? I don't remember that one.

I really liked the role splinter played in this episode, I like when the old rat comes out of the sewers in the old toon.

edit: nevermind, apparently it's a pre-order even though it doesn't say so in the auction. Bah, I'm screwed

i recently ordered all of lionsgates tmnt ot series dvds including the season 6 box set, i really hope it's available for shipping to norway:D

Ok, So I'm done with this set watched all the episodes in 2 days time.
They where fun to watch again regardless of the missing episodes.
But I've got another gripe now that I didn't think would be a big deal.
But there's a huge error in the show in the episode "Leonardo is Missing" and for some odd reason it never hit me before but the episode should be placed earlier in the season because Krang and Shredder are still stuck in the arctic.
When we clearly see them sink into the Ocean in "Rock Around the Block".
So my guess would be that "Leonardo is Missing" comes before "Rock Around the Block".
Just thought I'd bring yet another error with the old toon out in the open for everyone to talk about.

funny i didn't noticed:ohwell: i recently watched that episode!

It's easier to notice when you're watching them all together on the dvd, I was like what the hell!?:|

I do too, when he does it ushually leads to something interesting happening. I also like it when Splinter and April team-up in the old toon. For some reason these two always made a great duo when ever they where together in the old toon, I can't wait to see the turtleoids episode in this season just to see April and Splinter try to fight off that assasin robot.

No bonus features, eh? Not even those episodes as bonuses? Well, I'm still angrier at Lion's gate for not releasing any more ALF and ALFtales, and (even angrier still) at them not selling back the rights to the first 13 episodes of Dragon Ball to Funimation, stopping them from releasing it uncut. And the worst part is, they're just sitting on those rights anyway.

I was really hoping for interveiws with April's voice actor and Peter Reneday to be put on the disc. I guess we aren't getting any more voice actor interviews :( I really want turtle tips!

Season 6 DVD in some Best Buy stores early
 

If you're looking at getting the Season 6 DVD, you may want to go and check your local Best Buy locations. A local store in my area had it on the shelf already, and I picked it up this afternoon. Every store will be different, as I checked another one earlier and they didn't have it out but the second store did. This isn't anything new, as I've picked up a number of TMNT DVDs early at Best Buy.

I just picked up one this evening at best buy. I was shocked since it seems like they are not carrying as much tmnt stuff as they used too.

For people who have this, does it happen to have any worthwhile menu audio? I don't even want to rent it to find out due to this volume's unwarrented lack of special features & etc.

Just to draw some more attention to this release, I posted a news topic about it. The discussion thread will still be here. I'm picking it up tomorrow and will post more thoughts as I watch it! I'm looking forward to it, since I haven't seen a lot of these episodes in a long time.

Funky fact: No eps of Season 6 were ever available on VHS in America.

Agreed...I can't find season 2 pt.1 at best buy or target, and now I don't even know where to look...I haven't seen it anywhere I've looked actually. I kinda gave up.

Ebay has some at a decent price.

Return of the Turtleoid was release as part of the Out of This World collection and as part of the Tv Teddy- Videotape Series.
