Fourth Nick TMNT DVD coming in March 2014
 

The next "volume" will be out on March 18th of next year.

http://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Mutant...=Ninja+Turtles

Yet still nothing official about a Blu-ray set for season 1.

I'm sure the blu-ray sets will come eventually, even if it isn't until a few years. The episodes are already in HD on itunes after all.

Damn, Nick, can't you just release SEASONS? It's annoying keeping up with individual releases.

Well, at least we know when it's going to be released. I'll definitely get it though.

HA HA! I knew it would be called Mutation Situation! :tlol: Though MARCH 2014? C'mon! I'm guessing it will only even go through Target: April O Neil or Slash and Destroy.
Who hopes it will have a bio? Maybe April, or Kraang.

I'm guessing it will feature the episodes up to Slash and Destroy, but they may surprise us on that one.

Come to think of it, that's a legitimate question.

I'm not buying any of these releases until there's a full season Blu-Ray. I don't know what Nick's waiting for, but they're not making as much money off this as they could be.

Im looking forward to this...march is a legit date if you count in that the season is a little behind in schedule compared to last season...but we may be in luck, perhaps they keep doing the half a season set like ultimate showdown.

And Amazon too. I have all of Season One and what they've shown on Season Two. I'd love to put what I bought onto disk, so I can keep them and free up any memory space on my computer.

They probably just want us to make the sales of the volumes successful to justify doing that.

The individual releases don't really bother me that much...In fact I've been buying them for my son and he watches them constantly. If he messes one of them up it'll be cheap to replace. When/if they release a Blu-ray set I'll be getting that for me.

It just sucks that there's no way to buy them in HD outside of services like iTunes. I can't put a download on my living room shelf and display it obnoxiously.

You guys have to realize, these individual releases are cheap because these are what kids will see in the store and beg their parents to buy them. These aren't meant to be collector DVDs. These are for little kids.

I'm sure we'll get blu-ray sets eventually, we just have to be patient.

This will have 6 episodes.
Then a second, third and fourth release with 6 each.
It's old school marketing.
Release the season on DVD AND bluray a week after the finale to that season.

I'm already looking to buy Dracula and Sleepy Hollow on blu a week or so after the finales air.
Releasing in segments might be working for this show though. I don't know how well S1 sold , but I can see no reason not to do bluray. It's the latest standard.

Sweet will get for sure.

To be honest, I would not be surprised at all if there was never a Blu-ray 'Season' release, let alone a 'Season 1, Season 2', etc. release.

It's like when people, for years and years when New Line had the live action films, were saying "c'mon New Line Cinema, you're releasing special edition DVD's of Blade Trinity and Dark City, but not a special edition for a film that made you over $130 million?' aka the first Ninja Turtles flick.

Or the 2003 show...when they Finally got around to making actual season sets (of Season 1 part 1, season 1 part 2, and so on), and we all know what happened with that.

Or even the rocky road that the original turtle show had with the DVD market (missing episodes, wondering when the next one was coming out, a Season 3 set released years and years after originally putting them out in mediocre 'single-dvd' releases.)

My point is, don't be surprised if you find yourself going 'it's common sense, why don't you do it?' and then they don't do it. Like someone said, they'll want to milk it for as long as possible.

What the eff. I'm not buying this junk.
Of course I say that now, but 10 years down the road when this is the only thing that's available, I'll search high and low to own them all like I just finished doing with the 2k3 show.

Maybe when the series finishes, Nick could have a big box set?

I think you hit the nail on the head. I'd prefer blu ray, but I've purchased the DVDs so I can watch them at will in case that's all we get.

On an unrelated note, you have an awesome user name and avatar. Could only be better if John Rambo was rocking his red headband to match Raph.

they're making more this way. same thing with comics. they release single issues first then a collected volume. makes perfect business sense.

I'm sure 4kids will get a full release. I'm sure that X-Men Evolution will get a full release. I am sure Spider-Man: The Animated Series will get a full release. It just boggles my mind that after 4kids, people have still not learned their lessons. Either buy the dvds and support the show and then IF the blu-ray sets come out, by all means get them. But of not, at least you have the dvds. If people can't be bothered to buy the dvds then they simply do not want to own the show as much as they try to make people believe. Period.

Thank you :) yeah I would prefer the red headband as well, but I couldn't bypass that picture. Plus it linked with the Raph one perfectly (especially with the knife in the middle).

Thank you for the kind words Davin :D

I find it funny that people say they won't buy these cause they cost too much money, even though I'm sure all of you bought those $20 1 or 2 episode VHS's 20 years ago, yet will look at a 6-7 episode DVD at $15-$20 like it's "The Crime of the Century".

While people are just complaining, they should be happy of just how good we have it now a days in terms of convenience and yes, price.

For me personally, I like how crisp the show looks in HD.

I haven't bought a single DVD since I switched to Blu-Ray about 4 years ago.

I have every episode recorded on my PVR, so I can wait for a Blu-Ray release.

I honestly do not get what the big deal is about Blu-Ray. My dad has a 70 inch HD television and yet whenever I take my DVDs over and play them on his Blu-Ray player, they look almost as good as his Blu-Ray discs. It is most certainly not a big enough improvement in picture quality from my DVD's to his Blu-Rays to justify the higher cost of Blu-Ray discs. Not to mention, his Blu-Ray player (while only a year old) is super sensitive. The slightest speck of dust or scuff mark on the disc will cause it to freeze and lock up (even after cleaning the laser), but when I pop the discs back in the DVD player, it plays flawlessly with no freezing or skipping. So I am not sold on Blu-Ray at all. I will happily stick with my DVDs, as they are more than sufficient.

I'm the same.

I'm sort of like that too. The only thing is that even though I've got an HDTV and DVR capabilities on my cable box, I delete the episodes when I get the DVDs. Shows in HD seem to take up more space than the ones in standard definition. So sometimes I just have no choice.

Also, this seems like it'll actually be called "Mutagen Mayhem" instead. There's also cover art for it.

:3 cool~ more DVDs

I already bought the first half of season 2 on I-tunes XD

Word. I mean I get wanting "the best and nicest of everything" but some people really obsess over picture quality sometimes, when for my money, the disparity between DVD and blu-Ray is nowhere near as big a gap as the gap in quality between VHS to DVD was. I'm not gonna put off buying something I could have and watch right now in "Perfectly Fine" quality, on the unconfirmed off-chance it'll come out again on "Super-Duper" quality in 2 or 3 years.

HD and blu-Ray are fine, but I don't get why for some, they're mandatory. It's like collecting comics, I mostly want the stories, I don't need the version of the book with the chase variant hologram chromium cover just because it's pretty. I'unno.

I only have a few blu-Rays, so far, and still get mostly DVDs, but I've been branching out as some movies are less readily available on DVD anymore and the prices on a lot of blu-Ray movies have dropped like a rock recently. I got "Green Lantern" just because it was the only version with the deleted scenes, which I kind of find shady, but then again that's what they did with DVDs when they wanted to force people to switch from VHS, so I get it. But anyways, I'll be fine if they don't bother putting out the Nick show on blu-Ray, or even do Season sets. They probably won't do either, and if they do, it won't be for a long while. As long as I have all the episodes I'm happy.

Getting proper 2K3 sets in ANY definition would, for me, be a much bigger priority. It'd be nice to do a marathon run in order without having to switch discs while skimming wikipedia for the episode order. :lol:

2014 and they still puttin out these lame ass dvd sets with a few episodes on.. ugh, if they can have the HD version up on iTunes, well then they can easily put the Blu Ray set out, have the full season on 1-2 disc's.. no way i'm buying these dvd's with the crappy quality, higher price and have the whole season spread out on over 7 disc's.. also season 1 ended ages ago, the full season should have been out for the christmas holidays.. March 2014 is crazy..

hahhaha, very well put!I agree definitely!

Actually season one only took four discs, which isn't that bad. That'll probably be the same for season two. I don't care what anyone says, I'm getting this when it comes out and will continue to get the DVDs as they come out. I'm just thankful that Nick is even doing this at all.

me too, man!...I m so happy that we get the show so quickly and regularly released!..sometimes I have to pinch myself when I think about the fact that I got the complete first season 1 of the new nick cartoon on my shelf;)...and I even bought many more copies for friends and relatives...

Keep in mind that really big TVs are usually really bad. Also I've never had any of my Blu-Ray players ever freeze like that.

Oh, the old Blu Ray isn't that much better than DVD point.

Truth is, it is much better. A 50Gb disc compared to a >10Gb disc. 5 times the storage capacity to house the HD 1080p image and the far superior sound channels.
Of course, you do need to watch on a decent TV.
Personally I use a 3D HD projector with a floor to ceiling image, so yeah, you see the difference between playing a DVD and a Bluray. Once you get into it, its hard not to want that quality over anything else.
I am sure something else will overtake blu, but for now, Im a big fan and would love to own the 2012 season of TMNT on blu.

I guess I get it. Maybe it's less that I can't tell the difference, more that I'm befuddled that some people actually stress about how shiny their TV make-believe looks. Some people take it a little too seriously. And no, seriously, I can't really tell that much of a difference. Just nuts, I guess.

I was raised with "Expect nothing, you'll never be disappointed and everything you do get will be a gift." Tons of stuff I still need still isn't even out on DVD, let alone blu-Ray. I take what I can get when I can get it. I do get a "better" version of something if and when I can, but it's not mandatory for me to enjoy it or anything.

How bad are they? The biggest I've seen so far is an 80-inch. I've got one that's 39 inches though. I've also never had a problem where my Blu-ray player freezes up either.

My 39-inch HDTV is actually pretty good. The difference between Blu-ray and DVD as far as picture quality goes is plenty noticeable as well.

I just hope nothing overtakes Blu-ray any time soon. It's bad enough that there are already Ultra HDTVs out now. ULTRA HDTVs. I went looking for an HDTV in May at Best Buy, and I saw the one that I have now. When I got home, I looked it up to see if I could get any good deals. As I was leaving the store though, that's when I saw this ad for the UHDTVs. Yeah, very bad timing.

Shows that I've taped myself are the only things that have yet to go to DVD, but thankfully it's not many. As for movies, I almost can't believe not all of them have made it to DVD. Movies like Sidekicks and The Jerky Boys come to mind.

I'm primarlily Blu-ray myself, but I'm not above getting material on DVD if that's the only option there is. At least it's not VHS.

F*ckin'-A RIGHT, Jerky Boys. That's a motherf*cking tragedy right there. That movie is underrated as hell and hilarious. Apparently they buried it because everyone involved is ashamed of it. I think that's crazy. It's one of the most quotable movies ever.

- Johnny B: "They split; said they got a better gig... I heard they took a gig with The Monkees." Ozzy Osbourne: "The f*cking MONKEES?! You're KIDDING me?!"

- Ozzy: "You f*cking AAAAWWWSSSSHOOOOLLLLESSSS!" :lol:

- "Nice Parking job, bucko!" "UP YOURS, F*ck-Face!!!"

- Ernie Lazarro: "What the hell is a fruity ass?!"

Good times, man.

The only thing that frustrates me is the lack of consistency. The first two volumes were 6 and 7 episodes each and then they released the remaining 13 of season 1 on one set but now they're back to 6 episodes? I was hoping they'd stick to half season sets even if it meant waiting longer for the DVD release.

Whatever... they come infrequently enough that's not a major expense to get them and they're for kids and parents most of all so I understand the marketing. At least the episodes are in order unlike the 2003 series after season 1. If they don't release a season 1 Bluray before the end of 2014 then they do not understand who cares about buying this show.

I don't mind the number of episodes as it's more than 4Kids ever did before putting out the season sets. Most of their DVDs had maybe four episodes per DVD if that, though some had more. At least Nick is doing it where there's more episodes so that means you can get the season in only a certain amount of DVDs. Works for me.

The other 6-7 ep DVDs were about $8 or $9. Why $15 for this one, that's how much Ultimate Showdown was and it had double the eps.:trolleye:
