This is scheduled to be released tomorrow here and I'm picking it up for my little guy. I'm not worried if they re-release in bluray or box set as I'd purchase those as well, just due to the fact my little guy will have the DVD worn out by then anyways.
Anyone know what the poster looks like or size of it?

Just picked this up at Wal-Mart. Man, they got like 30 copies in. I hope stores don't order too many copies and then won't buy future releases when they can't sell all of these, then that would hurt the prospect of future releases. Nonetheless, it says it's "full screen" but I am watching it right now and it has the black bars on top and bottom, so that's good. Picture quality looks great. The poster is fairly small, but it is a cool image of the turtles. Kinda wish I could get it in full size and without the creases. The inside of the DVD case spotlights Leonardo, so that leads me to believe the next 3 releases will each feature one of the turtles. Definitely worth picking up for only $10!

And for the people who are waiting for "full season" releases; do you all remember what happened with the 4kids show? There is no guarantee the show will see a full season set. The ONLY "guarantee" there is, is that if enough people don't buy and support these releases, then the show won't get further releases. Corporations don't give a flying rat's patooie about what picky, demanding "all-or-nothing" fans want. They only care about the "almighty dollar" and if they aren't seeing those dollars, then they won't lose one second of sleep pulling the plug on future releases. Sorry, but it's a simple, undeniable fact.

Bought it this morning, was disappointed that it states Full Screen on the cover/DVD but when watching it, it is wide screen. Thought perhaps at first it was my kids bluray player up converting and stretching/zooming, so I tried it out on another and it seems to be WS too,
I'm really disappointed that instead of a poster, there was a TMNT Walmart advertising card with items already out of stock at my local store. it also did not have the nice slip cover either. I should have realized that there was no poster, as there was no sticker as indicated in a previous post.
Oh well, my little guy was looking forward to a poster for his room. If anyone sees any for sale in retail, plz let me know.

edit: I do not get black bars at all on a WS TV. It looks the same aspect ratio as it aired/broadcasted on HD TV.

Why is that disappointing?

Because they advertised it as fullscreen, and it's actually widescreen. I can see why that would be a problem.

As for me, I don't know if I'll get this or not. I'd rather wait and see if they release a full season set with all of the episodes on it. I'd rather get that as that would be less clutter whereas if I were to get this and the other DVDs as they come out, it would mean more DVDs taking up space.

I still think it is a very bad idea to wait for a full season set, because if the 4Kids show scenario repeats itself, then fans will complain when it don't happen, then they will be hunting down these single releases at massively inflated prices all over again. 'Kung Fu Panda: Legends Of Awesomeness' has been on Nickelodeon for longer than TMNT and that show still hasn't seen a single DVD released yet. TMNT fans should be grateful that we are getting anything and try to support it (but I know when it comes to fandom that is asking for far too much, since us fans are always our own worst enemies).

Saw these DVDs in Walmart today, they had to have at least 30 of them on the rack. I passed though, as I already have all the episodes recorded on my DVR.

Well at least they're widescreen.

Still not worth buying because its only 6 episodes and not in HD. I'll wait.
