How has Nick released their series in the past?

Real question, no sarcasm or smartass-ery.

Based on the release date It's probably the first half of the season. I don't know why people are fabricating dramatics about it.

If similar cartoon trends are to be followed, I'll definitely be passing on this. I bought the first My Little Pony: FiM DVD a while ago only to have them announce the full season set a few months later. Kinda bummed me out, but being the fan I am, I pre-ordered it too (duh!).

Still, exciting news - especially this soon.

I'll probably get this right away if its indeed 13 episodes...even if I'll eventually double-dip for a blu-ray release.

Of course if the blu-ray comes out at the same time as the DVD version it'd be great. As mentioned this show will look amazing in HD.

Not "will", you looney. Does.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Eh, I for one don't really care one way or another about HD or not. Just so long as it's good DVD quality and doesn't look like a bad computer rip or VHS or something, I'm happy.

Didn't think about that, with it being that far away, all thirteen episodes will have aired so it'd be easy for the first half of the season to be on this set. I can't speak for others, but I didn't mean to fabricate drama really - just a little worried about how they might try to milk the releases.

As far as drama goes though - Hey, Nickelodeon. That whole forced letterbox or whatever format that you did on Forever? None of that please.

[CyberCubed]

Assuming there are no rerun breaks episode 13 will have aired by the end of December.

[Jester]

I'mma hang back until a break-down is released. I mean it's possible that the 1st 1/2 of season 1 will be released together, but doesn't Nick also release multi-episode (3-5 episodes) discs of Spongebob and the like? Money's tight. I'll hold off on Vol. 1 if there's a potential Season 1.1 set later down the road.

[CyberCubed]

It depends if these are serious DVD sets for fans or just a bare-bones releases for children to beg their parents to get when they see it on the shelf.

I'd love to see interviews with the shows creators, the voice actors, etc...but it'll probably be a bare-bones release of just the episodes.

I'm waiting for a full season Blu.

Yeah, me too. I could buy the first 13 episodes and then I'd regret it as soon as the first season is released on blu-ray.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Ill wait for a complete season 1 DVD.

[Zany Orange Dude]

Wahoo! This is great news!

[BubblyShell22]

I'll wait and see what this DVD has before buying it, but if it has other stuff other than the episodes, I'm in.

[pannoni1]

If it contains 13 episodes, I'll purchase this when I can find a discount on a nice copy on eBay. Great to see news of a DVD; special features could come later if they don't, but don't be surprised if there are some given that 4kids included some on their original DVD releases. It can still be 13 episodes since Fast Forward had "Future Shellshock" and "The Day of Awakening". This isn't the VHS era where only a couple episodes fit on a tape. But if they release fewer episodes per disc, its probably to entice customers that there's more of a selection available, and having more volumes with fewer episodes may spur higher sales among more casual fans. Us hardcore fans could easily have a complete season set later on if that happened.

Boxart's probably tentative. However, the MSRP of $15 pretty much ensures that this will be the first 13 episodes. Snag it now for 10!

[Gyt Kaliba]

I like that cover art, assuming they do stick with that, it works. And you're right, a $15 seems a bit expensive if this was only a couple of episodes. It seems a little cheap for a full $13 episodes though...but they may be trying to keep this cheaper to see how many kids actually buy it for themselves.

Glad to see more info is coming out already though, we should know more about this pretty quick looks like.

[chrisdude]

Didn't the last cartoon come in those crummy little volumes with just a couple eps? Just like OT in the VHS days.

It's titled, "Rise of the Turtles." It's named after the first ep. My guess is you'll get the two-parter and a couple eps thrown in for good measure. One disc.



The show is broadcast in HD, it deserves top be released on Blu-ray. If you disagree, you probably don't watch the show in HD. But it's a cartoon, so I certainly won't get my hopes up.

[CyberCubed]

The first 4kids DVDs only had 3 episodes per disc, 4 if we got lucky.

The 4kids DVDs didn't start goin to hell though until the middle of Season 2 when they started putting eps in out of order.

I'm hoping Nickelodeon will have more common sense than 4Kids and release season boxsets sooner than later.
