TMNT Vol. 3: Ultimate Showdown DVD - Page 3

~~Leo656~~ · 07-13-2013, 05:25 PM

You're insane. People aren't "wasting money" by buying a product that only guarantees they release more product. You'd best hope a million people "waste their money" in such ways, or you'll never see those "complete sets".

...Which we still have NO promise of ever seeing, anyway, so... yeah. It's like $10 dollars, man. I'm not even going to repeat my spiel from yesterday about how Nick is pretty much the single WORST distributor of *their own shows* on DVD in the history of the world, so we have no reason to expect them to get their sh*t together now.

I know they released ONE full season set of a popular show recently, so don't feel like you have to repeat it. I heard ya the first time; it's still one case out of hundreds, so it means nothing. "Lose Your Illusions."

*BubblyShell22* · 07-13-2013, 06:51 PM

Well said, Leo. If I get this, it's not a waste of my money since it has episodes I really like and I'll be able to watch them whenever I want to. Plus, we'll be getting the next volume in three months, so that means we'll have the complete season in four DVDs if the third one is a two disc set. That's not bad at all from where I'm standing.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-13-2013, 07:03 PM

Plus if they do come out with full season sets eventually, you could always re-sell the earlier ones, trade 'em in somewheres, pawn 'em off to a niece or nephew, whatever. And you'll have already had the luxury of having watched the episodes at your leisure, only now they'll take up a fraction of an inch less shelf space (which is, at the end of the day, the only real "benefit" the full season sets would have, anyway, and that's a very minor "convenience").

Buy more, they'll make more. REAGANOMICS!!!

Does Season 3 of the 2k3 series ring any bells? ,if one waits to buy a release, one isn't necessarily going to get.

They never did release a season 3 set and every one has been looking for the 3.1 and very hard to find elusive and costly 3.6 Turtles Against Hate set. There has been no Back to the Sewers released nor a proper length Turtles Forever Disc. I've learned my lesson w/ season 3 buy new or your probably not going to see it.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-13-2013, 08:13 PM

Yeah, I'm seriously glad I stalked Best Buy every single weekend back in the day and picked up every TMNT 2K3 DVD that came out as soon as I saw it; there were usually only one or two copies on the shelf, and after I got mine, I'd almost never see another copy. I missed one, maybe two of the last ones to come out, not 100% sure, and now they're among the ones that are hardest to find. I'm pissed; I was *thisclose* to having the entire show on DVD, more or less, and I never will, just because of the one weekend I decided to stay home instead of go to the friggin' store after getting paid like I usually did.

I take nothing for granted anymore. They want to throw me scraps, fine. It's better than nothing.

Ninja Tiptup · 07-13-2013, 09:50 PM

When they started releasing the show I was a bit worried they'd do 5 volumes, only the first one having 6 episodes. Just the other day I found out volume 2 had 7 episodes and figured they'd do 4 sets and I was fine with that because I felt they were reasonably priced and good quality. Now that I know the rest of the season will be on 1 set, I'm very pleased with this DVD release. If they continue doing half season sets then I'll be buying all of them.

I'd be willing to double dip for Blu-Ray season sets but otherwise I'm quite content with how Viacom is releasing the new show on DVD and would recommend purchasing the DVDs to anyone who wants to always have the show.

*CyberCubed* · 07-13-2013, 10:34 PM

Since they won't release Season 2 DVDs too early until a number of episodes air, I wonder if they'll go back to the first 13 episodes and re-release them on the same set now instead of two separate DVDs.

*Donatello19* · 07-13-2013, 10:55 PM

I'm kinda waiting till these get a price cut....yeah, yeah I know...10 dollars isn't that much but I still don't feel like it's worth it..

~~Leo656~~ · 07-13-2013, 11:11 PM

$10? That's more than fair. Stuff isn't free, it's a business. I'd argue over $15 is pushing it but $10-$15 is fine. It's TMNT, for crying out loud, of course it's worth it. For $10 you get more minutes of content than a feature film on DVD, what more could anyone ask?

I mean cheap is nice but I don't expect things free or anything. As much as I love TMNT, throwing in $10 every now and then is the least I can do.

*JTH* · 07-14-2013, 04:13 AM

Considering ITunes sells the episodes for 2.99 an episode and is selling everything on the Volume 1 & 2 (Minus "New Girl in Town) for 29.99, I'm guessing you guys would rather pay for that right?

it may be of worth for you to know that there ARE a 2k3 season 3 dvd box sets 1 and 2.in fact I have them and they are a delight.I guess they were manufactured in less quantities?or much less advertisement for them has been done?I dont know...
and there very well IS a proper length turtles forever dvd disc out there.
its the british release with the original poster art for the movie..didnt you get to see this somewhere?

on topic:
I agree very much with leo656 here.I bought all the dvd sets so far and am very happy with them.to see the episodes whenever you want is nice and the sound and visual quality of these dvds is amazing!its reason alone to get these sets and re-watch episodes I ve been seeing so often its almost ridiculous

and 10 dollars is a great prize!

Luke795 · 09-24-2013, 06:08 PM

This DVD set is coming out next week.

*ToTheNines* · 09-25-2013, 06:35 AM

So I just got Kraang Invasion in the mail yesterday, and it's the "Raphael" set. I wonder which turtle will be highlighted in the Region 1 version of Ultimate Showdown...

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 09-25-2013, 06:44 AM

I'll still be waiting for a full season one DVD set.

*BubblyShell22* · 09-26-2013, 08:52 AM

Yeah, good luck with that one, LeotheLateBloomer. I'm not going to wait and get this whenever I'm able to. I may not get it the week it comes out, but I'll still get it when I think about it for sure.

Ramboraph4life aka Matt · 09-28-2013, 04:29 PM

Someone was telling me that on some of these DVD's, there was stuff cut out of the episodes (although, no idea what or why that would be?).

So I just wanted to confirm if there was any truth to this, or were they just pulling my leg and being an idiot?

I have the first 2 and haven't watched them yet. But I don't think anything would be cut.

*BubblyShell22* · 09-28-2013, 05:15 PM

The only thing cut out is the theme song on some eps. Other than that, the eps play just the same as they did on TV.

I remember hearing that too, but as far as I know it's not true. Specifically, I recall them saying it was little things like Pete being revealed behind April as she starts walking before he gets zapped, and I know that that scene's still intact.

Region 1 Ultimate Showdown is Raph. It uses the same Raph-based turtle stock art as the Region 2 Kraang Invasion DVD. The fourth in the UK has a similar group shot, but Mikey's front and center. Above is a foot ninja head, Shredder's head, and a Kraang. I bet this will be the next Season 2 DVD for Region 1.
