Its one of the few times the combo of youtube and wikipedia have been pretty useful. I suggest looking for his fights on youtube all five are uploaded but the fights are pretty crappy quality being recorded on a home video camera. If you cannot find them I can relocate them later for you. I do encourage someone who is more of a facebookie than I am to ask him about his unknown status on pro fight number two.

can't wait! this had better be available to me and not a US exclusive

[Redmage1987]

Lol, I came here to post about that. I'm excited for this as well. I have been waiting a long time for them to released the MMPR on DVD.

Haven't seen the show in years I wonder how it will hold up when I watch it again. Ha I remember meeting Austin St John at a mall event, funny to think I was excited as a kid to meet the red ranger and get his autograph.

Power Rangers Samurai - 'Vol. 1' and 'Vol. 2' Announced by Lionsgate for the 'Super Samurai' Season!

Mid-August street date for 'Secret of the Black Box' and 'Super Showdown'

Bit stupid skipping all the as-yet unreleased episodes and rushing into SS, but I suppose it makes sense to do a quick cash-grab and capatalize on the current season.

A woman who has done work for Playboy is auditioning for the next Power Rangers season. Hmmmmm. *strokes chin*

I did look at her Twitter account though, and this is one statement she made there:
I get to fulfill my childhood fantasy at my Power Rangers callback today.

So I wonder how that will go.

He's not in Strikeforce. If anything he's signed to a D-level contract which means he's on the 'Challengers' cards which mean absolutely nothing and only serve to fill program space on Showtime.

Strikeforce doesn't even have anybody on their roster anymore. They got bought by UFC's parent company and all of the fighters of worth have moved on to the big show.

But he's not even in Strikeforce so yeah.

Weird that all of his fights are only filmed on hand held cameras seeing that this 'Strikeforce' you speak of is on television.

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of "Forever Red", Amit Bhumik wrote up a nice essay on his tumblr and offers up four versions of the story, which includes early drafts and pitches by him, Koichi Sakamoto, and Johnathan Tzachor.

The set is up for pre-ordering right now. How's $219.95 for a set of 40 DVDs? You can also pay in five installments.

So not even installments will help? That's the way I'd do it, but I'm still not sure my finances are on point, even with the installment plan. Either way, I still want to get the set. There's even a code that you can use to get 10% off the order.

[TheCanadiandrome]

well, i'm in the same boat as you are financial wise, but hey i might consider it just to get 10% off. Kinda hoping this will get the retail release like so many other so-called "online only" releases have gotten

[Darth Knuckles]

I also just saw this new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers DVD release on Monday. I'll be getting the first three seasons and be happy with that. I really didn't watch any more of them after that. So that will do me just fine. I've also been waiting for this show to come out on DVD for a long time. With TMNT finishing up in August and MMPR starting in August, the only cartoon/childhood show I want on DVD would be Spider-Man: The Animated Series!

You're aware

Spoiler:

MMPR ends on a huge cliffhanger that leads into the Zeo season

right?

I actually recommend you watch the later seasons, as there pretty darn good and have higher stakes than MMPR.

As for Spider-Man: TAS, it's availible in it's entirety over in Region 2, just get a regionless player and scout for it on E-Bay or something.

[Darth Knuckles]

Yeah I remember watching parts of Zeo and Turbo and the show just lost me. I don't mind it being left with them as kids in Season 3 or with the Alien Rangers if they include those ten episodes in Season 3. By that time for me it was time to end it.

I've seen the Region 2 Spider-Man DVDs on eBay but I'm a patient person. I do like the first two covers quite a bit though. And they've also had Mighty Morphin Power Rangers available for a long time in Region 2 but I can wait.

Whilst I'm positive the Alien Rangers saga is on the third season set, I count them as being part of season four on my bootleg sets since they build it up so much, for me the third season ends with "The Sound of Discordia", which is really the last time the MMPR era nabs a proper victory, it's also more in keeping with how the other two seasons end on standalones.

I've seen the Region 2 Spider-Man DVDs on eBay but I'm a patient person. I do like the first two covers quite a bit though. And they've also had Mighty Morphin Power Rangers available for a long time in Region 2 but I can wait.

There's an awesome limited edition digi-book set of the show, which opens up like a hard-back book, it also has a free 90s-era Spidey comic with it. Sadly I think it's out of print now. As badly as I think the show has aged over the years, I was tempted to get it.

The code for a 10% discount is valid up to Father's Day, so I decided to just pre-order, despite not having enough money on my credit card for it at the moment. That will change soon though, and I'll just have to make sure it's still on my card for whenever it's ready to ship. I also opted for the standard shipping method since it's free. I can wait. The only extra thing I have to pay is the state tax on it. I'm also going to be doing the installment plan. They tell me that even while I'm in the process of paying it off, I can just pay off the remainder whenever possible, no matter how many monthly payments I make until I'm done.

If you call to place an order, you can even have the representative put the code through for you and it'll work. I told the guy I spoke with about the code, and he wasn't sure if it would work on a pre-order for something that's not even out yet. I told him I've seen people say that it has worked, and it even worked for me when he tried it. All I wanted to know though, is how much each installment would be. He pretty much pressured me into pre-ordering. If you pre-order over the phone though, they'll try to get you to order other things, but just tell them no if you're not interested.

Once news that these PR DVDs would be coming out surfaced, I figured I was pretty much complete. Though maybe Digimon and Kamen Rider Dragon Knight might make it to DVD too, but I don't know. I still have yet to get the M.A.S.K. box set too.


By the way, for anyone who's interested in ordering the big box set from TimeLife, the code for 10% off up until June 17th is: DADDYDOUBLE. Even after that, there might still be a way to get 10% off of your order, and that's buy signing up for something on timelife.com when you pre-order.
