Because VHS tapes last forever right? And they look awesome too.

DVDs are just as fragile as videotapes, dude! Nothing lasts forever, unfortunately! Even comic books will eventually deteriorate into dust.

*gobo* · 03-08-2012, 07:51 PM

Are they on HDVHS?

Except DVDs don't deteriorate from repeat viewings and if you're not a moron you can make disks last a very long time. My Dad still has CDs from the 80s that still play like they're brand new. Some disks can last up to 300 years.

Despite that taking (I assume) a really long time, it's still a depressing thought.

Yea, so what? I got an Elton John album on cassette that came out around the late 70s and it still works fine! My parents recently dug out their old vinyl records that they got around the time they were married, and for the most part they still work great! Anything can last longer as long as you take good care of it, and just because a format is long since obsolete, it doesn't mean we should look down on it!

Right so why should they ever release that Elton John album again on CD? I mean plenty of people like you still have cassette tape players right? They still put cassette tape players in cars. Cassettes can be played in computers too, you can easily rip them for use with an ipod. No. I look down on old tech that is garbage. Vinyl records aren't garbage and while completely out dated they're at least collectors items and still being produced to this day. VHS tapes are not, and for good reason.

They were always crap. We're not talking Laser Disk here. We're talking a format that burns itself out. I had TMNT tapes of mine that broke when I was a kid from watching them too much. I can't even watch any of my tapes from childhood. They all look horrid because I've worn the them out. So saying episodes of the series shouldn't be released on DVD simply because you can acquire VHS copies is just silly. VHS tapes would only last a long time if you never watched them, which defeats the purpose of owning it if you ask me.

And while they mind blowingly still have a few things like this
http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMP-...1309955&sr=8-1

It won't be around much longer and given the price I'd say it's pretty old.

He isn't saying they shouldn't be released, he's saying we shouldn't whine about not getting them on DVD.

And if Lionsgate is going to keep dodging our e-mails and flat out ignore those episodes for whatever reason... it's not a terrible attitude to have is it?

That being said, it shouldn't affect him one way or the other if we bitch about.

*Jephael* · 03-09-2012, 06:50 PM

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see the missing episodes and the rest of season 10 released on DVD someday (whether or not they re-release the season 10 episodes already on DVD is of no concern to me) but I'm not gonna spend every minute here on this forum pissing and moaning about it like CyberCubed does.

And Spitfire, I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience with VHS tapes. Are you sure you didn't just have a crappy VCR in your house though?

Wait, this whole attitude is because people think it's ridiculous to just release the unreleased episodes as opposed to the full 10th season all together plus the 2 (3 in length) that they skipped?

Man, life's hard, get a flippin' helmet!

*MikeandRaph87* · 03-09-2012, 07:54 PM

I too just want the seven remaining episodes yet to be released but my concern is proper releases of TMNT(2003) season 3, the first 12 of season 4, and season 7. Hopefully one day it will happen. I avoided the season 3 and early season 4 volumes in hopes of season halves or full season and then it stopped churning out.

Ah,wel. That's life. We will get one of all of it one day. For now its youtube and what ever has been personally recorded of all that.

Someone's stuck in the past...

Yeah, he used to beat that dead horse. But Cyber's been cool for like the past year now.

ctt4lfecw · 03-10-2012, 06:25 AM

I have had success finding them on YouTube, but on disc would just make my fandom complete.

Well, I don't come on here too often like I used to, so I wouldn't know.

With the Turtles in the news due to Bay and his movie now would be a wise time for Lionsgate to release that last TMNT DVD ...

*Jephael* · 03-23-2012, 08:45 AM

Lionsgate usually releases a DVD of the classic toon when another animated series actually airs. Besides, the whole Michael Bay issue is stirring up a lot of anger and hatred from the fandom... not exactly the best environment for producers to be shelling out DVDs in my opinion.

BTW, Hardshell, I appreciate you using the term "Last DVD" instead of "Season 10" or any other assumption of what the final release would be.

For everyone who dislikes this new TMNT movie, what wouldn't be better for them than buying a DVD fromt he 1987 cartoon instead, where they don't need to see the new origin.
