It's only available in Canada. However, you should have no problems buying this off Amazon and shipping it to the US.

**Jester** · 03-28-2008, 08:59 AM

Yeah, but it's only 4 episodes....again. Why can't we seem to get season sets?

*ZariusTwo* · 03-28-2008, 09:38 AM

...Oh for god's sake these are reissues of old VHS releases...

Can these F*CKING muppets at Buena Vista get a little common sense? The Kids WB/4Kids Spider-Man series is a big rival, they could stand to release a box set

Well, actually. Have read that news, and the DVD is by some other company up in Canada.

And have also read Buena Vista apparently doesn't have the rights to the Marvel 'toons any more.

Yeah, it's basically some obscure company that only exists in Canada. The press release sounds a lot more exciting than a single disk release. I hate the whole asthetic of these kiddy themed single disk releases, myself, but it's not released by Disney. So that may be a good sign later on.

Slightly off-topic: Has Buena Vista ever done season sets or sets in general for an animated series?? Was Gargoyles theirs?

Fantastic Four is the only one that comes to mind.

I had thought the various Disney Sets (Gargoyles, DuckTales, etc.) were done by Buena Vista. Along with the '90s Fantastic Four. But have to check on it.

*Edit: Oh well, guess I was wrong on the Disney ones...

They also released the "Incomplete" first and second seasons of The Tick. Thankfully they actually listened to fans clamoring for it. And even when they do season sets/box set volumes, it doesn't necisarrily mean that they'll finish the series off. I really hope we get Tick season 3, since I missed 90% of those episodes.

But the fact an indie company is releasing these gives hope that someone will start releasing these things that Disney only came to own for the purposes of buying the Family Channel. And what a good buy that turned out to be....

**Jester** · 03-30-2008, 09:51 AM

They released the Complete(ly crap) 1967 Spider-man Animated (if you use the term very loosly) Series. The best thing about that was the theme song.

Yeah, just look at their very own Gargoyles. Grrrr!!

I... had to correct the thread title... "Spiderman" makes my head to start to explode.

*tone-master21* · 03-30-2008, 01:21 PM

Well starting Apirl 1st Toon Disney is going to begin airing the series again.

*gobo* · 03-30-2008, 02:47 PM

You sure that ain't a joke? O_o

I'm positive, it's not a joke.

*gobo* · 03-30-2008, 03:31 PM

I'm always skeptical about anything that's supposed to happen on that particular date. Reasonable paranoia, yes?

Jon · 03-30-2008, 06:03 PM

^ I thought it was April 2nd that was supposed to begin. But, at any rate, I have also seen that it's listed to be on Toon Disney.

All times are Eastern Time Zone

I just checked and it starts on April 1st at 7:30am with the episode repeated at 7:00pm Monday-Friday's. Saturday-Sunday's it will be shown only at 5:30pm.

Seems like the same company is doing the same with The Incredible Hulk too.

Higher res box art. Not liking this "Limited edition" thing, though. Something about it seems like a bad omen.
