"Beyond the Known Universe" DVD release
 

Finally an announcement for region 1, and it looks like it's the first half of season 4...

Yay, glad it's 12 rather than 6. Awesome cover art!

Hey, they're learning. I think.

Bonus points for having " Kicking Shell and Taking Names" as a special feature as well.

Kinda funny how the release date suggests that we'll be getting episodes 9-12 before they actually premiere on television.

Episodes 9-12 are airing in March/April.

Oh sh*t, I am such a doofus. I misread "May" as "March". Pay no mind to the speed-reader here. :trazz:

I used to buy these volume editions like clock work but they eventually take up a lot of shelf space . I wish nick would be a bit more consistent with their complete season DVD release . Also it amazes me that a company as huge as nick still won't release a blu ray set even as this series is almost 5 seasons deep smh

I shall wait for the blu-ray's. After the show ends they'll probably re-release the whole series on blu ray sets...and DVD again for that matter.

How would it be a "re-release" on Blu-Ray when it was never released on it to begin with?

And to make you see the painting on the wall, the Alvin cartoon will be getting it's 2nd Blu-Ray release within the next month, that's right, 2nd Blu-Ray release, and that show premiered 6 months ago. And you guys have waited 4 years to not even get a rumor of 1 release.

Further proving if they wanted to put on the show on Blu-Ray, they'd have done it from the start, and if they cared enough to do it, they damn sure would have done it by now. They haven't done it, because they either don't want to or don't care enough to do it.

Also find it funny that IGN, Yahoo, and every other news/entertainment site has promoted the TMNT crossover, yet Nick still hasn't done a thing involving it, and it's not like the show is only on their network after all...

I said this before, I fear a Blu-Ray version would be identical to the DVDs. So why even bother?

If you buy the region 2 sets for the first two seasons, the discs are literally just repackaged from the piece meal DVD, they didn't even bother slapping numbers on the discs. A Blu-Ray edition would most likely be the same, straight up copies with no improvements at all.

Well, granted they would be better and an improvement by default quality wise.

In North American, it's not legal for a studio to throw a DVD mastered set onto a Blu-Ray disc. Now countries like Germany are able to do it which is why they've put the entire original TMNT cartoon on Blu-Ray, because they can put Standard Def masters onto Blu-Ray discs, it's legal to do over there, but in North American it's been outlawed to do that.

Oh, well that might explain it.

i see the pre-order available now on amazon

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...ilpage_o01_s00

once again amazon pre-order info is mislabeled.
amazon has it listed as '1 disc' when the box art shows '2 disc'

There are also two different listings for this title. The one you gave is apparently for the version with the Michelangelo zipper pull and includes movie cash to see the upcoming TMNT movie. This listing is apparently for the regular version.

ah! thanks for the heads up! :)

So listing with no picture equals extra goodies... copy that. Changing preorder now.

Don't you guys realize these DVDs are a waste of money? You will just be selling them off or giving them away in a year or so.

Either buy digital or wait for blu-ray's. What's the point of buying these DVDs when you're going to sell them and not even get half the amount back you paid for?

I learned my lesson when I sold all my old DVDs.

Stop posting.

If people don't buy them then a bluray release probably will never happen if there is no market for one. Also if people don't buy them only to later sell them dirt cheap you will be paying inflated prices when they disappear and you finally realize that a bluray release isn't going to happen.

Stop making assumptions about what other people can and will do. :trolleye:

it be really nice if we get all 14 episodes to conclude the Space arc instead of the 12 that were originally advertised?

just a thought.

Definitely, though it doesn't bother me any if we have to wait for the second half of season 4 to be released on DVD just for those last 2 episodes. Just keep a spare recording on your DVR or something in the meantime.

And here I am still waiting for a complete second season box set...

Mikey zipper pull & movie cash would be nice, I got the Leo zipper pull with the last one.
Almost bought the Fugitoid + Turtles toy box set, those are some very cool looking figures, but $ 50 is an awful lot of money for some shiny plastic.....

Same here. Anyone know if there's a guide out there somewhere telling which Dvd releases go to which season in what order? I get the feeling I'm going to have to start piecing together sets on my own and don't want to buy the same episode twice..

You probably already know that there's a complete season 1 set, and a box set of the first two seasons. The season 1 set is just the existing first three volumes that make up the first season. The complete seasons 1 & 2 set has all eight discs from the first six volumes. The first eight discs are in one case, the next eight discs are in another case, and each case represents the first two seasons. That's why I recently got the seasons 1 & 2 set. It even freed up a bit of space on my shelf.

There's also a disc called "Pulverizer Power", which has the episodes "The Pulverizer", "The Pulverizer Returns!" and "Mutagen Man Unleashed". It started off as a Wal-Mart exclusive in 2014, but became available in general retail in 2015.

Thank you very, very much. Exactly what I was looking for. Yeah, I picked up season 1...but then they only released season 2 with season 1 so I never bothered. After that it got odd and I just decided to wait and hope they released normal sets.

I'm interested to know if the first print releases are packed with an Out of the Shadows movie ticket voucher. Also, which retailer has it for the cheapest?

Has anyone seen this in Walmart yet?

It does. Eight dollars off.

Walmart has it.

I just bought this at walmart and you get the free vudu digital copies of all the episodes on the disks plus it gives you episode 13 and 14 for free digitally. So you don't get the last two episodes on the dvd's but you get to own the last two episodes to conclude the space arc for free on vudu. So I thought that was a nice surprise.

Late reply, but it's not illegal to release SD content on a Blu-ray in North America. It's just that studios are worried that DVD quality content on a Blu-ray would upset consumers because they expect everything on Blu-ray to be HD.

Samurai Pizza Cats got a SD on Blu-ray release so it's not that it's "not legal", just that hardly anyone wants it. I wish it would gain more support because shrinking a 8 disk DVD set onto a single disk Blu-ray is great for shelf space.

Thanks for the confirmation!

Seems like a logical deal to grab a good crop of episodes and then see that cinematic experiment.

From what I understand, it's different with anime companies.

As for this new release of "Beyond the Known Universe", I got mine from Best Buy. It's $13.99 there, but I had a $5 reward coupon.

First I went to Target at the time it opened (8am), but they didn't have it stocked. I went to another Target around 9am, and it was the same thing. Walmart didn't have it stocked either. I wonder if Target has been slipping, since this is the third time they've failed to have a title I'm looking for right on the shelves the first day it came out, even when they open. I think I'll check three Targets tomorrow morning, as well as the two Walmarts that I can make it to.

For the record, I saw copies at Toys R Us for $16.99. No thanks.

Yes, I picked it up in the early afternoon l. It only has 12 episodes not 14. That is fine. The main thingis it is only two volumes this season.

It was mentioned earlier that episodes 13 and 14 are acquired digitally with a Vudu code.

How does that work exactly?.I have gotten DVDs with it before, but never put any thought into it. Does rhat mean those two will not appear on volume 2 of season 4?

Several SD concerts have also been released on Blu-ray too, so I don’t think it’s an anime only thing. In fact some of the special features on my The Great Mouse Detective Blu-Ray are in SD, so who knows. I wouldn’t be too surprised if SD content on Blu-ray from major studios is illegal but I haven’t personally found any proof of that being true.

That would be a bit disappointing if that's the case considering some people like to have a complete collection of DVDs.
