No word on How many episodes will be included, but I'm pretty sure that each Set will have 25 Episodes or more and will also feature the uncut US Version.

The Boxes will be released in the beginning of 2010.

Keeping the bilingual format? I mean, is there enough Deutsch demand to keep the English audio or is that just an added expense for the company? I ask because I'll hold off on importing a set if they'll release "ONCE UPON A TIME MACHINE" or "PLANET OF THE TURTLEOIDS" with their original English audio tracks before the American distributors do. If they're going with your episode lists, ""ONCE UPON A TIME MACHINE" should be on Volume 3 and "PLANET OF THE TURTLEOIDS" will show up on 4 or 5. If the American distributor doesn't release them on their Season 10 volume as bonuses, this might be our only way to get them in a professional, DVD-quality, digital transfer...

The demand for the Uncut English Version is hugh! On many german DVD Forums Fans and non fans were very pleased that they included them as an Bonus!

And the english Version couldn't have been that expensive, because for a TV Show DVD Box with 25 episodes, the Box was one of the cheapest german release with it's 27.99 Euro (might seem expensive for you guys )

And yeah: I got a List from KSMfilm when they asked for an chronoligical List and Once Upon A Time Machine was listed on it. Also Planet of the Turtleloids is listed as "PLANET OF THE TURTLEOIDS (1HR. SPECIAL)"

After my List those episodes would be both on DVD Box 5, but I dont know if KSM will use my List or use their own! Only Time will tell.

I'm going to inform you as soon as I know!

They might be coming out in Australia too. They even have the Euro Vacation episodes in the right order on their sets.

sry for 4 Posts in a row, but I want to keep this Topic alive with some Screenshots from the second german Box:
My Question is - What do other Fans think about the Design:

[hudemx]

Wow 5 Posts in a row - seems that no ones interested in RC 2 Releases of the Toon, no wonder that the UK Release of more episodes was canceled.

Heres the Coverart for the third German DVD Box, it again include the german Hero Turtles Version and the Uncut US Version of the episodes:

[gobo]

Woohoo! Region 2 OT DVDs kick shell! Cowabunga!



That's all you'll get from me until "THE TURTLES AND THE HARE", "PLANET OF THE TURTLEOIDS" or "TURTLE TIPS" join the ranks of officially released R2 episoden.

But, allow me to offer a suggestion... You probably ought to post this info on a random R2 DVD forum. I have a feeling the R2 crowd around these parts are probably hardcore fans who already imported the R1 DVDs. So, it's really the casual R2 fans you should be reaching out to, if you're looking for cheers. Just keep posting here too so any of us 'extra hardcores' can stay updated.

I already have most of the US dvd's. I will buy the German versions though if previous unreleased episodes are included.

[hudemx]

A Update about the german DVD Release:

Sales of the 2 new Boxsets (Box 2 & 3) have also been pretty good. NewKSM told me today via E-Mail that they will release more Boxsets with the Series in the following Year.

There are 4 Boxsets missing until we have all episodes of the Show, but if we look at the previous Releases of the Show over here, I'm pretty sure we'll get all 4 next year

I also checked the Episodelist of all the episodes from KSM and "Planet of the Turtleloids" and also "The Turtles and the Hare" are on it.
I will also try to get them to acquire the Rights to the Turtle Tips Clips, but I cannot promise it to be released...
Maybe someone knows who the US Licenseholder of the Turtle Tips is?

[pferreira]

Sorry to ask this hudemx but have you had any confirmation Lionsgate won't be releasing any more any more seasons for UK Region 2? Were sales for the first set that bad? I just wanted to know as I've been holding off importing the US ones.

If Lionsgate doesn't have them, I think you should try Fred Wolf Films.

I don't know, sry...
I do not have contact to lions gate only to the german distributor.

But if you're holding off you could import the german Boxsets to the UK, same Regional Code and also the uncut US Episodes, without any subtiles What so ever!

Thanks gobo

[pferreira]

Okay hudemx. It would be nice to find out what Lionsgate UK's future plans for Turtles releases are but I think I'll probably end up importing the German DVD sets. Thanks again!

[hudemx]

Today KSM announced on german DVD Forum Cinefacts, that they will release all remaining episode of the 80's Toon over here.
No Release Date now, but I'm pretty sure July to September 2011 sounds realistic

Coverart was also send to me with the E-Mail, but after the fantastic job with the Art for the Boxsets 1 to 3, they just f***ed it up this time (a floating Raphael? WHAT?)

Still I cannot wait for the next set ^^

[gobo]

Cool. Let us know when the set can be verified to EXclude "ONCE UPON A TIME MACHINE" and "PLANET OF THE TURTLEOIDS", would you?
