Original Toon RC 2 Release
 

OK Folks, in 2009 the time has come and Europe (and all other RC2 Regions) is going to get the first DVD Release of the original Turtles Cartoon Series.
The german DVD Label NewKSM is going to release the first 25 episodes on a 5 Disc Set.
Releasedate is March, 13 2009. The Boxset include the german Hero Turtles Dub, as well as the uncut english Ninja Turtles footage.
The Cover for the DVD will be available in the next few Weeks, but I was told that it will some kind of look like the Volume 2 Lionsgate DVD.
The DVD will be availabe on the amazon store very soon, so also UK Fans can order the DVD there. The prize will be 34.99€ to 44.99€

I just wanted to inform you ;)

(sorry for my bad english)

EDIT: Alright, here's the DVD Cover:

thats kind of crazy tho, they are releasing them bundled up like that in atleast not in seasons 1 and 2 if we are talking the 1st 25 eps. thats 1,2, and some of season 3. But its something for the europeans, All i wanna know is if lionsgate is working on adding those hidden episode theyve been leaving out since forever.

The price seems expensive, since you could buy Voulmes 1-3 for less than $30. However they will be in 5 discs instead of cramming 10-13 episodes per disc, maybe the quality will be better. The cover looks a lot better just by adding a background when compared to the Vol.2 cover it is based on.

Hopefully the episodes won't be edited and if the price wasn't so high it would be worth importing if the episodes were better quality.

Its a nice collection since the first two seasons (1-18) and the start of season 3 is also good. I wonder at which rate they'll release the sets since they might end catching up to the US releases :lol:

Hopefully Belgium will have these dvd's too *crosses fingers*

In honor of this, you should all watch this

Cool. ^_^

2015
 

The entire show will probably not reach Europe until 2015 or something.

Why 2015? I'm sure the rest of Europe will follow Germany in releasing the dvd's.

I think J's just speculating on how long the whole series will take to be released (probably based on how long the US has been at it).

Usa, 2010
 

Yes, and the USA will probably not be finished until at least 2010 with today's speed.

Alright the DVD Box Set is now available for preorder on amazon.de
The Box includes the first 25 Episodes in german editied version and also US uncut Version.
Order here: http://www.amazon.de/Teenage-Mutant-...9093172&sr=1-1

26.99€ isn't that much

bosa nova! lol

$36.15 USD... I'm surprised it's so inexpensive.

just diging out the thread to remind the RC2 interessted in the Forum.

The Boxset will be available on amazon on March 12th (next week) and will now cost 27.99.

@ gobo: 27.99 isn't really that much for the set! A normal DVD (single Disc) costs 14.99 and a double DVD Set 23.99. A Steelbook up to 27.99 and a normal tv series Box with 25 episodes (like the Simpsons Boxsets) costs 48.99 Euros.

@ all: There's a side few on the Box available now:

I was surfing on ebay.co.uk and I noticed these dvd's:

volume 1
volume 2
volume 3

Looks like the original cartoon is coming to the UK too! :D

They are RC4 (Australia ;))Look in the Describtion

Oopsie, my bad. I blame it on the lack of sleep I had yesterday. ;)

If you're looking for a EBay Action of the RC2 Boxset:
http://cgi.ebay.de/5DVDs-Teenage-Mut...1%7C240%3A1318

It's shipping ervery inside Europe and it's 23.99

The first Box-Set proved that there are many "Fans" of the TMHT in Germany, so KSM has now officially announced that there going to release more TMHT Boxsets.
No word on How many episodes will be included, but I'm pretty sure that each Set will have 25 Episodes or more and will also feature the uncut US Version.

The Boxes will be released in the beginning of 2010.

That's great news! Where did you read this?

On the cinefacts forum and via E-Mail from the DVD Company

Keeping the bilingual format? I mean, is there enough Deutsch demand to keep the English audio or is that just an added expense for the company? I ask because I'll hold off on importing a set if they'll release "ONCE UPON A TIME MACHINE" or "PLANET OF THE TURTLEOIDS" with their original English audio tracks before the American distributors do. If they're going with your episode lists, ""ONCE UPON A TIME MACHINE" should be on Volume 3 and "PLANET OF THE TURTLEOIDS" will show up on 4 or 5. If the American distributor doesn't release them on their Season 10 volume as bonuses, this might be our only way to get them in a professional, DVD-quality, digital transfer...

The demand for the Uncut English Version is hugh! On many german DVD Forums Fans and non fans were very pleased that they included them as an Bonus!

And the english Version couldn't have been that expensive, because for a TV Show DVD Box with 25 episodes, the Box was one of the cheapest german release with it's 27.99 Euro (might seem expensive for you guys ;))

And yeah: I got a List from KSMfilm when they asked for an chronoligical List and Once Upon A Time Machine was listed on it. Also Planet of the Turtleloids is listed as "PLANET OF THE TURTLEOIDS (1HR. SPECIAL)"

After my List those episodes would be both on DVD Box 5, but I dont know if KSM will use my List or use their own! Only Time will tell.

I'm going to inform you as soon as I know!

They might be coming out in Australia too. They even have the Euro Vacation episodes in the right order on their sets.

KSMFilm gave me some News on the two new german Releases!

Box 2 will include 25 more episode (episode 26 to 50) and Box 3 30 episodes (51 to 80 or 51 to 66, 143 to 154 and 67). They also told me that its very likely that the uncut US Version will also be included!
Box 2 will be released around March to May and Box 3 around June to August!

I can't wait for the release:D

Sorry for Doublepost:

Wow 5 Posts in a row - seems that no ones interested in RC 2 Releases of the Toon, no wonder that the UK Release of more episodes was canceled.

Heres the Coverart for the third German DVD Box, it again include the german Hero Turtles Version and the Uncut US Version of the episodes:

Woohoo! Region 2 OT DVDs kick shell! Cowabunga!



That's all you'll get from me until "THE TURTLES AND THE HARE", "PLANET OF THE TURTLEOIDS" or "TURTLE TIPS" join the ranks of officially released R2 episoden.

But, allow me to offer a suggestion... You probably ought to post this info on a random R2 DVD forum. I have a feeling the R2 crowd around these parts are probably hardcore fans who already imported the R1 DVDs. So, it's really the casual R2 fans you should be reaching out to, if you're looking for cheers. Just keep posting here too so any of us 'extra hardcores' can stay updated.

I already have most of the US dvd's. I will buy the German versions though if previous unreleased episodes are included. :)

A Update about the german DVD Release:

Sales of the 2 new Boxsets (Box 2 & 3) have also been pretty good. NewKSM told me today via E-Mail that they will release more Boxsets with the Series in the following Year.

There are 4 Boxsets missing until we have all episodes of the Show, but if we look at the previous Releases of the Show over here, I'm pretty sure we'll get all 4 next year ;)

I also checked the Episodelist of all the episodes from KSM and "Planet of the Turtleloids" and also "The Turtles and the Hare" are on it.
I will also try to get them to acquire the Rights to the Turtle Tips Clips, but I cannot promise it to be released...
Maybe someone knows who the US Licenseholder of the Turtle Tips is?

Sorry to ask this hudemx but have you had any confirmation Lionsgate won't be releasing any more any more seasons for UK Region 2? Were sales for the first set that bad? I just wanted to know as I've been holding off importing the US ones.

If Lionsgate doesn't have them, I think you should try Fred Wolf Films.

I don't know, sry...
I do not have contact to lions gate only to the german distributor.

But if you're holding off you could import the german Boxsets to the UK, same Regional Code and also the uncut US Episodes, without any subtiles What so ever!
Thanks gobo ;)

Okay hudemx. It would be nice to find out what Lionsgate UK's future plans for Turtles releases are but I think I'll probably end up importing the German DVD sets. Thanks again! :)

Today KSM announced on german DVD Forum Cinefacts, that they will release all remaining episode of the 80's Toon over here.
No Release Date now, but I'm pretty sure July to September 2011 sounds realistic ;)

Sweet .

Some Updates for the german Release:
First off: The US Uncut Version will once again be part of the german Release, like it was on Box 1 to 3. Also there is no Releasedate yet, but KSM told me that Box 4 & 5 will be released before 2011 is over.
Box 4 will again include 30 Episodes, which as far as I know will be those listed below:
Coverart was also send to me with the E-Mail, but after the fantastic job with the Art for the Boxsets 1 to 3, they just f***ed it up this time (a floating Raphael? WHAT?)

Still I cannot wait for the next set ^^

Cool. Let us know when the set can be verified to EXclude "ONCE UPON A TIME MACHINE" and "PLANET OF THE TURTLEOIDS", would you? :)
