What exactly IS available on DVD?

[evan2000]

Just this week I decided to try my luck hunting down all the available DVD sets for the 4Kids series from Amazon US. I already bought the Region-4 Turtles Forever DVD from Australia last month, so I figured I'd better start collecting the rest while I have the opportunity.

I noticed no one created this complete list so far, so here goes - and hopefully those of you who are still hunting for the DVD sets find the following recommendations useful:

Season 1 two-part release: $62 new (cheaper than getting volume release 1-8, but if you want the box cover spine art, then get the volume release)

1) TMNT Season 1 Part 1 (buy new = $28.88 + free shipping from Outlet Promotions)
2) TMNT Season 1 Part 2 (buy new = $32.88 + free shipping from Outlet Promotions)

Season 2 two-part release: $538 new or $324 used (too expensive to recommended, get volume release 9-14 instead)

1) TMNT Season 2 Part 1 (new set costs $184 used set costs $128 don't buy now)

Season 7 (Back to the Sewers) DVD sets were never released in the US, they were only released in Australia/New Zealand so far, but I couldn't find them anywhere while I was at Australia last month. Seems like I need a miracle to own them one day...

All in all you can expect to get everything else (except 3.6) ranging from $460 (some new some used) to $750 (all new except Croc Attack!) depending on which combination you choose. I just got all those that I recommended above for slightly south of $600 including shipping.

Now I'll just wait at a corner for my shipment to arrive...
