Fellow fans, DON'T accept 2nd rate releases! Make your voices heard! (TMNT DVDs)

I've wanted to say this for awhile now, but in the past I've stayed silent because I didn't think I could make a difference, but no more.

To anyone saying we should be happy with what we are getting and forget about the couple missing episodes, messed up set releases, and lack of other extras, let me ask you this:

How would you like it if I gave you a car, the kind you've always wanted, and have dreamed about for years. Unfortunately, you have to wait many years before all of it arrives. When you are close to the end, they then tell you it's missing the key ignition and the red wire to the engine. They lost the parts. So you have a car that you can't even use. Tell me, how would you feel?

People, this is the ONLY time we have to make sure Lionsgate gets their damn act together. Keep in mind TMNT was one of, if not the LONGEST running action cartoon ever. It essentially defined a part of history for children, and made huge amounts of money.

To see how Lionsgate has treated these releases makes me sick.
- Have we forgotten that they originally planned only to release Season 1 in that crappy, cut-up, and edited "The Saga Begins", before some people originally a part of the show and fans bitched them out?
- Did you enjoy having the laughable excuse of the only "Special Features" on the first few releases being "Full Screen” and “2.0 Audio Tracks”? Those aren’t even features, they are Audio/Video presentation. For a series that had countless toy promos, TV commercials, and books; none are being included.
- Do you like the recycled cover-art and bare-bones packaging they created for our beloved series one and only release?
- Can you honestly say that the COMPLETE OMISSION of not one or two, but over TEN EPISODES, which might never be released is fair?

Look, I loved this show. It WAS my childhood, and something I cherish to this very day. It deserves better than this.

So, I am asking all of you, to take a stand with me and tell Lionsgate that you need to get your act together, let the people who will be BUYING these releases be your guide, and put out sets that you have pride in.

Now, are you with me?
