I have a feeling its closer to the latter....

And that is really odd too, if that is the case. Because the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was extremely popular back in the day. You would think that it would be selling like hot cakes but considreing the poor treatment and lack of advertisement being done to it you would think it was a cruddy one season through away 80's cartoon.

But it wasn't. It was quit phenomanal back in the day with a huge fan base. So you would think that now the fans from the first wave would be tripping over each other to get a hold of the seasons now that they are avalable to own on dvd.

It really doesn't make sence. And the only thing that I can think of, and please people don't think that I'm starting trouble or anything, is maybe the succes of the new series of the TMNT is affecting the sales of the classic series. Maybe the first wave fans are more interested in watching the current series than getting the orginal one. Please don't crusify me for saying this I was just wondering if that could be a issue.

I doubt thats' the reason,as barly anyone in the mainstream cares about the new cartoon, and most of the success is based off of the toys selling, the series gets high ratings due to the comic fanbase and animation critics who do habe interest in it, I just think someone is trying to push the present product as what is most important, and treating the original as a footnote instead of what MADE this franchise in the first place in terms of mainstream consumerism.

Well from Amazon.com and Amazon.ca, the first season sold more than the second season and the first season is higher ranked in Sales for today and yesterday than the second!

It would be a shame if they cut off production of getting the old toons to the masses but I think what they need is advertising. I know many of my friends *(who aren't TMNT crazy) would still love to own the cartoons from their childhood but don't even know that they are being released.

Well at least they're breaking the yearly thing even if we're only getting it 4 months earlier. Still glad we're getting it! The box art looks kind of goofy though.

OA · 10-19-2005, 03:02 PM

Yea, im just glad we're gettin something at all...should be nice!

...Actually it ws known by a bunch of us for awhile now. We talked about it on the Back up forums.

So this December: He-Man Season 1 Vol2 and TMNT season 3. I'll be in heaven.

I loved Season 1's coverart, HATED season 2's... and Season three looks an awful lot like Season 2....

Oh well... I am still buying it and making sure everyone I know who watched it as a kid buys it too... We have to get sales up so they get the whole series out to us. =P

Well, I was on TMNT-L when the regular forums were down. I just decided to take break from the 'Drome and try somethin' new. The back up forums don't really do it for me and they aren't the same as the original. I found out the info from a different source but some people didn't go on the back up forums thus not gettin' the information.

I'm starting to not really care about special features, I just want the DVD's to be coming out more frequently. I seriously hope that season 3 comes out with the rest of the episodes sooner than they have been producing so far. Having to way a year at a time is a wee bit agonizing.

lilonardo · 10-25-2005, 05:55 AM

I think that from Volume 4 onwards, they should start having the DVDs available in 2 sorts of packaging:

1 sort for those who like their Turtles happy and colorful (similar to volume 1's packaging) and another for those who like their Turtles darker (similar to volume 2's (and volume 3's) packaging) .
