They could just call it "the final volume" rather than "season 10."

OR they could just call it "The Series Finale" or "The Final Season"

but I don't see anything wrong with it saying "Season 10"

The show dis last for almost 10 years, after all.

all in all, I'm happy with this news!

Season 10 I'm guessing won't be released until 2012 when the new animated TMNT series starts. then they can market the final DVD to promote it when the new animated series begins.

But I would hate to wait a year for the final DVD. IF LionsGate is smart, they will release Season 10 the same year, just to be done with it.

Lol, that means now the Season 9 & 10 cover art is gonna rip off poses and layouts from the new Nick show!

If we're really lucky we may get Season 10 around December. But I don't mind if we have to wait till next year, as long as we get it eventually.

Everyone here buy two copies and send one to younger kids or something to make sure this sells.

FearlessLeader · 05-23-2011, 07:16 PM

This is great news, as I am almost finished with my rewatching of season 3 so it will be nice to know that eventually I will be able to finish the entire series.

And I agree with something CyberCubed said here, I really think Lionsgate held off when Turtles kinda faded away for a while there and not that they are back in the spot light they figure it's a good time to finish releasing the series.

*sdp* · 05-23-2011, 07:19 PM

Well its not like Lionsgate was ever consistent with the dvd releases so I kinda expected Lionsgate to finish off the season. I do think we might see a "Full series" release though around the time the new movie and that will probably have the missing episodes. Who knows maybe we even get a non half-assed release.

So is the box art going to be the Nick turtles done OT style? We already got 2k3 and 2k7 OT style. Maybe Nick gets pissed off at a turtles DVD not relased by them and they outright buy the OT from Lionsgate, stopping them to release the final season on DVD, wouldn't that be bitter sweet.

Thank god. I guess sometimes whining and complaining really DOES make a difference.

Now we are almost certain to get Season 10 probably next year.

Even though I had totally given up on Lionsgate stepping back up, happy to hear this.

Nice to see things picking back up in the world of TMNT.

Ninja Tiptup · 05-23-2011, 09:42 PM

Just when I had given up all hope that Lionsgate even had the show anymore. Finally season 9 and probably season 10 as well. I was worried Viacom had just screwed us out of getting the rest of the original series on DVD.

E-Mail doesn't tend to do a dang thing these days if it ever did. Snail mail is the way to go.

So how about a snail mail letter campaign? Keep it simple and it should be effective.

- Thank Lionsgate for releasing the series
- Ask them to include the 3 missing episodes "Planet of the Turtleloids Part 1" "Planet of the Turtleloids Part 2" and "Once Upon a Time Machine"
- Request the final volume be two discs so they don't cram 11 episodes on the final DVD set

Anybody got Lionsgate's mailing address?

I think this will work but they seem to have more than one address and I'm not sure which one would be the best to send inquiries to that aren't related to investor relations.

It's worth a shot right?

We want those missing episodes released no matter what right?

Lionsgate just needs to get that message.

We've still got a shot with season 10 or "the final volume" or whatever they end up calling it.

*CyberCubed* · 05-23-2011, 09:47 PM

There's a sticky thread above with Lionsgate contact info.

It'd be nice if we got the Turtle Tips shorts on DVD too.

**Jester** · 05-23-2011, 09:53 PM

I thought there were 2 other episodes aside from PotT...

Maybe they can release the PotT as a special "movie" with Once Upon a Time Machine and the other 2 Turtleoid episodes.

There's only 3 missed eps. Planet of the Turtleoids was a 2'parter, so that and the time machine ep.

Those and the ads by Playmates would be awesome!

Planet of the Turtleoids is technically a 1-part extended episode.

Which explains why I thought there was a 3rd missing episode counting it and OUaTM...
Was it ever aired separately?

I'm really not sure if it was ever aired separately. But it and Once Upon a Time Machine are the only mission episodes.

*sdp* · 05-23-2011, 10:22 PM

Was Once upon a time machine released on VHS? Are there any good quality rips at the very least? I think planet of the turtleoids is right?

*CyberCubed* · 05-23-2011, 10:24 PM

Both were officially released to VHS in the 90's. That's how fans uploaded them to the Internet.

Yes it was. It's on the TMNT Easter release with the other Hokum Hare episode, The Turtles and the Hare. I had the tape, but I gave it to a kid who has all my other old TMNT VHS tapes that I gave him in the late 90's-early '00's. I made a DVD with the episode on it, from the tape...but the quality ain't great.

I've encoded the Turtles Awesome Easter VHS to a DVD, and am working on doing Planet of the Turtleoids. I'm kinda stuck at what to do with them now, though.

*sdp* · 05-23-2011, 10:32 PM

You should share them, its not like it will cause people to not buy the sets and honestly I don't think Lionsgate will release the episodes on dvd anyway unless they come out with a "complete series" or they re-release the series years down the road. Its not like they skipped the episodes on purpose, it was a mistake and the company is oblivious they even missed episodes and think they only have one season left to release. I can live with VHS quality rips counting the DVDs pretty much felt like slightly higher than VHS quality, especially since they kept cramming 13/12 episodes per disc.

Ninja Tiptup · 05-23-2011, 10:33 PM

Yeah I don't know if "Planet of the Turtleloids" ever re-aired in syndication as two episodes nor if it re-aired on USA Cartoon Express at any point.

It may have only broadcasted as an extended episode prime time special and I'm starting to wonder if Lionsgate doesn't even have it but I don't see why they wouldn't have it if they got all the episodes of Fred Wolf TMNT.
