I'm sure the first question on many people's minds will be 'I wonder if they have the lost episodes on there?'

I don't care, but I'm glad to know when the next season is being released. Only two more to go. You would think that they would just release the last three seasons at once, in different packages, on the same day. At least I think they should. But just two more left. Yay, almost complete!!

Edit: And what the hell is a Neon 'O' Card? Is it going to be packaged really cheaply, since it says it will be affordable for everyone? I'm sure we'll learn more and more the coming months, though.

Retail price is $14.99, so I am guessing it will cost $9.99 at Amazon and Best Buy like the Season 7 "slices".

The press release does not mention bonus materials, so I guess the "lost" episodes are still in limbo.

TVshowsonDVD.com is saying $14.98. Hopefully Wal-Mart and Amazon will offer it for an even more competitive price like they did with the last season. :-)

EDIT:
Beaten to the punch!

Wow, Season 8 already! Awesome.

Although we still need to get Lionsgate to release, "Once upon a time machine" and "Planet of the Turtleoids" on DVD.

Someone...we're dying here.

I'm fairly certain that this news suggests that those missing episodes will be saved for Season 10. It just makes more sense to use them as a purchase-incentive when their best-selling volume already has half of that season included.

Anyhow, thanks for that news, stud. :)

For only 8 episodes, which I'm assuming will be on just one disc, I won't pay $15. $10 seems like a decent price, but $15?

Thanks for the episode list, too. I can't wait for this season to be released. Not that I think I'll like it, I just want to go ahead and get every season in my collection. Amazingly, I STILL don't have Season 5. Don't know why, but I just never have gotten it.

I wish these would come out in the UK:ohwell:

Why does this thread now say September 8th? TSoD says the 1st. Where was the 8th mentioned? Other than here, I mean.

Typo on my part.

Edit: Can a mod change the title so it will appear correctly in the forum? I tried, but it won't update the date.

The season 7 slices only had like 6-8 episodes a piece for the same price. Its no different than the last release.

I paid $10 a piece for each Season 7 release, so if YOU paid more than that, you got duped in my opinion. But if you don't care to pay that for it, go right ahead. I just personally won't pay more than $10 for that many episodes.

Edit: And Sept. 1st instead of Sept. 8th, that's awesome. Even sooner...

I got them for $9.99 too. I'm sure this will be $9.99 as well online at least.

Of course, it'd kill them to include the 3 episodes they've forgotten to make it a total of 11 and actually worth the price.

What the **** is going on? I just checked my calendar and it has NOT been over a year yet!!!!

What's up with all tm's?... anyway, glad to hear the new season is coming this year, whould appriciate some source though.

It is nice to see season 8 coming out so quickly. It is too bad we probably aren't getting any of the missing episodes as a "bonus" on it. Hopefully, the season 10 set has the 3 missing episodes since some episodes of season 10 have already been released on DVD.

I would hope for the missing eps on there own dvd, but i have mentioned that before though. I'll guess we have to keep bringing it up in some form untill something done about it.

Ohhh i'm so excited, but I do hope they make some nice box art to reflect the change in the tone and look of the series.

how many seasons was th show anyway? 11?

10! Only two more! That means we should have the whole thing before 2011 :)

Will Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Season 9 be released during Christmas? Will Season 10 be released in 2010 to complete the whole series before 2011? Will the three missing episodes of Once Upon a Time machine and planet of the turtleoids parts 1 and 2 be in seasons 9 and 10?

While I agree, I'm pretty sure it'll just be edited stock art from the 07 movie with some ghetto background.

We dunno, pray about it.

This is great news. I think they should do all 3 seasons together at once, I'll take them on separate volumes even like they did with season 7. Whatever though great they're doing this.

Maybe we'll get a full series set at the end of it all. Some of you might think it's a rip but mine disks have been played a lot and a back up is needed anyways.

Pretty sure Seasons 9 and 10 will arrive in 2010. Lionsgate will want to milk out the last remaining eps.

Not sure about the skipped eps though, but if we keep pestering them with e-mails...you never know.

can't wait, and plan to buy, regardless what goodies are packed in! i started the mission back in 2004 when Season 1 came out to get this whole series on DVD even if i go broke! :)

Quick release = Good.

Desicion to not package the last three seasons together = Kind of lame.

YESSSSSSSSSS IM PUMPEDDDDD especially being that we get the game that month too right?

i agree alot of mine were played so much they dont work, im more then willing to pay for the extremely unnessecary high price they charge because im materialistic when it comes to TMNT..

i disagree with u there. i rather they be seperate. but then again, who knows, maybe 9 and 10 will be bundled together

10 seasons. So only 2 seasons left to put on DVD. :)

What about next mutation? I know everyone LOVES that one! LOL, honestly I dont remember much about it other than venus and the make overs everyone got. I wasnt watching turtles at the time anymore.

I would think they will probably do a complete series set, a la 'King of Queens', 'Friends', 'Seinfeld', etc. I would probably buy it later on if it came out, but not when it first comes out. I still want to get the Friends and Seinfeld complete series, but right now, I just can't afford it.

Has anyone actually ever received a reply regarding the missing episodes?

They probably have a policy against replying from the suggestions box. Just request a receipt next time. That way, you'll know exactly when they read your email... unless it's a web-form, in which case you can't do that either.

Box Art for Season 8

http://www.tvshowsondvd.net/graphics/news3/TMNT_S8.jpg

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Tee...-Box-Art/12076

looks strangely cool

I think that's the best box art they've come out with so far. It's the same turtle design, but it's probably my favorite art yet.

The eyes look better I think. Not bad. I wish they'd do some box art with the characters from the episodes on it instead of just the turtles. Like them fighting Shredder or something.

When are they going to release Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Complete Series on DVD? When is Seasons 9 and 10 going to be released?
