Season 1 Set Coming?!

[Kendamu]

I just got the first four in the mail yesterday for about $25.

I love eBay.

[Mandi-chan]

FINALLY!

Now, please let this boxset be the WHOLE season with the eps in order.

I don't care if it has Special Features or not, I just want the whole season in order.

Hopefully, we'll see the other seasons get boxsets (with the eps in order) in the near future too!

Good thing I decided to hold off on buying more of the show, I just recently decided to give up and buy the messed up dvds...this news came just in the nick of time for me!

[Ninja Tiptup]

I too shall double dip. Especially since some of the discs have errors including the very first one. Season sets are so freak'n sweet. Many TMNT marathons shall be enjoyed.

Upon further inspection of this claim, I found the reason for it. While I wouldn't be surprised if these guys are getting us excited over a very small improvement (not unheard of), they suggest the MSRP will be $25. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't sell 8 DVDs worth of cheap plastic cases plus a newly designed flimsy cardboard box for that low a price.

As far as The Lost Season is concerned, 4Kids probably made an internal compromise to release it if sales for the season sets go well. If/when they get to season 4, TLS should be next. For that reason, I may very well pick up Fast Forward 1 after I get the season 1 set. More money thrown at Turtles DVDs being given the proper treatment can only help prove our point. However, I won't be getting FF2 until I have a S2 set. That's the deal they have to make with me.

So, wait -- is this good or bad? I'm confused.

[CyberCubed]

Anyone else hope for those Peter Laird interviews to be included on this? I loved those.

25$ MSRP?
I do think it'll be all 26 episodes of Season 1 in a four disc set, probably with no extras. it won't be a 'boxset' maybe just a double sized amaray case. I'm glad they're going for a cheap prize, hopefully this doesn't mean something bad like just 13 episodes. Hopefully we get extras though i don't see them likely.

How good were the extras in the volumes?

[Spitfire]

The first half season box set was 40 bucks, you paid 70 you got really ripped off.

[JetsAndHeels]

I say bring it on.

If I can buy 3 or 4 versions of the Star Wars movies then why not this!!

Oh, it's good. I'm just saying that TRSI (the source of this revelation) has been known to give us false hope before. So, until other reputable sources start saying they got the same story from Funi, I'm not so sure their specs should be trusted.

Absolutely! Parts 5 & 6 were skipped over for the videogame demo, so I'd be delighted to see them. But, I do kinda think they should separate them, and have them play before their respective eps. Sitting through 3 or 4 spoken overviews gets a bit taxing. And, it was great getting a sense of what Peter Laird looks and acts like, but I wish he would have said something that I hadn't already picked up on by watching the show. It was an excellent idea to start out with. It just didn't prove itself worth the production cost, I guess. Outside of Season 1, Pete & Stan Sakai cutting up in an interview for the 'Battle Nexus' DVD was the only other one.

That's just under $1 per ep. Of course, they're worth more than that. But, who's complaining?

The first 4 Volumes as well as 7 & 8 each had ep-specific interviews with Peter Laird. All 8 had character profile shorts. Volumes 7 & 8 both had 3 a piece. There were some toy commercials, a short behind-the-scenes featurette and animatic comparisons featurette. Those were the good ol' days. Extras past Volume 8 were very sparse and pretty lame.

[Whitewolf89]

Man, I know that I'M going to get it, too, irregardless of the price! Like MOST people, I just bought the individual ones as they came out, 'cause that was basically all that I could afford at the time.

*pauses as she thinks something over* Does anyone know IF the price for this has been posted yet? Or is it too early to find out that kind of information?

Anyway, it looks like my poor old wallet is going to be taking a SEVERE beating over the next few months. First the Fast Forward DVD in February, THEN the new TMNT movie being released in March (followed soon after by it's release on DVD (IF I know ANYTHING about movie companies and their ways, that is ), then this. IF they happen to FINALLY fit the release of The Lost Season in there somewhere, I'm gonna wind up being terminally BROKE! What the SHELL is a girl supposed to do; give up getting her TMNT comics?! (NOT a chance in SHELL!!! )

EDIT: $24.95? That's not too bad a price for a whole season. I think that I can manage that..............

Besides, I personally think that some of you are fretting unnecesarily over this. Let's just wait and see what develops, okay?

For anyone who knows, has Funi ever done anything with commentary before? If not, we might be able to expect it for Season Two. TMNT hasn't sold well enough for them to spend the extra cash to record commentaries just yet. But, if this item becomes an instant hit, who knows?

[Michelangelo-Sama]

The sets should be in complete story order, completely uncut and unedited, no TV rating in the top left hand corner (that drives me nutz). It would be great to have commentary with Peter Laird on every episode and new interviews with him and everyone involved with the new series including writers and voice actors. This goes for seasons 1-5. Fast Forward would not be included. I wonder why they are waiting so late to release them instead of putting them out when the new movie is released, that would be the smart thing to do, but 4Kids is not known for doing anything smart. The same goes for Funimation.

What makes you honestly believe that if the previous boxsets sell well, that they won't make one for Fast Foward? (with all 26 combined, unlike the 13 episode set out right now).

You may have gotten a deal on yours, but it was $69.95 at Amazon, $69.98 at zStore, listed at Funimation with a $69.99 MSRP, etc.

At the time they decided to make the FF DVD, 4Kids was planning to make those 13 eps a full season. If we do in fact get a box set for FF, it'll be after Season 5 ('The Lost Season'/'Ninja Tribunal') which will be a while. That is, unless they decide to just take the two 13-ep Volumes, and repackage them in a flimsy cardboard box. Until we know for certain that 2K3 is finally getting the respect it deserves, there will be less people worried about FF getting a 'perfect' treatment. The 26-eps of (production) Season 6 is a very minor annoyance to most people, I'm sure. At least it isn't more than that... But, if (production) Season 7 gets a single-disc for all 26 eps (assuming it'll have that many eps) as its first release, maybe they'll fix this minor annoyance even sooner.

[Anarchistguy]

Hell YEAH!!!

I'm SO glad I held back on the 4 episode sets. Patience is a GOOD thing!!!

[Leonardo_Warrior_Turtle]

Now I realize that it'll be a while before the Lost Season comes to DVD here because they'll probably want to release all the seasons in order first. Oh well. Guess I'm importing!!!
