Is it sad that this is basically the only thing I have to look forward to today?

Just got this DVD today at Kmart for $9.99 because my mom's one of those special members. We were actually going to look for a different DVD not related to Turtles when she saw it was in the ad and asked if I had it. I said I didn't, so we got it. Haven't watched it yet though. Special features include 13 Mutation of a Scene shorts and a Channel 6 News Special: Oozegate 2014.

Nah. If it makes you happy, it makes you happy. That's how I usually felt growing up, where while I had so much crap going on in my life, it was little things like upcoming episodes of my favorite shows, movies, and video games that kept me going.

I got my copy of "Showdown in Dimension X" at Target. It's wrapped with an insert outside the casing that says you can get a free soda and personal pan pizza with the purchase of the new TMNT movie. It also comes with a coupon where you can get $1 off of the purchase of the movie that's valid from the 16th to the end of the month. It also comes with another coupon that discounts $1 from any pack of Pop Secret popcorn that expires at the end of January.

As for the coupon for the movie, it's only valid for in-store purchases. I was hoping I could use it on the pre-order online since I'm pre-ordering the movie for a $5 Target gift card.

I wasn't able to find it today. I'll try Best Buy and Target tomorrow. Was surprised to see it not on Wal-Mart's shelves ... but the electronics department was a mess so maybe it didn't get out.

I also picked up this DVD on Tuesday. It really has a lot of good episodes on it and includes all of them that feature Tiger Claw. I'm really excited to watch them all again! And this one comes with two two-part episodes as well. Pretty cool DVD in my opinion.

I was surprised they went for a purple color scheme for the package. I thought for sure they'd go with red, to match the use of orange, blue and purple already. Found the DVD last night and I've been enjoying it. Really wish it was a Blu-ray. I would've gladly paid $20 instead of $10.

I just picked this up a few days ago too!! From WalMart, so still at the $13 range... I saw the new Korra out as well. Ugh. Korra and TMNT on the same day again. I can't do $26-30 for 2 DVDs while I'm also getting groceries.

Anyway, I noticed the DVD has the longest run time yet and it does contain two 2-parter episodes. Awesome.
I feel MOSTLY caught up now, knowing I can never catch TMNT on Nick 'cus I'm either at work, or if I am home for a day, my guide channel is jacked up.
But this is the first time I have gotten to see any of these episodes.

Was happy to finally see Danny Trejo as Newtrilizer, although disappointed that the character has enough effects to almost make Trejo unrecognizable. Not sure I like the rocka-rocka-rocka thing either.

I was looking for Wormquake and was saddened to not see it on the episode listing (since I hadn't seen it and knew it had the 80s cartoon cameos), and then realized it is the first episode on the first disc and it has a new name.

Tiger Claw seems cool, the idea of

Spoiler:

Bebop and Rocksteady

in the near future excites me, although I'll need to get used to futuristic thief and Soviet versions of these guys.
Still not 100% sure I'm happy with the direction in Karai's story, but despite my feelings... these guys are writing some very exciting and compelling stories and the episodes seem to be getting better and better.
(Spoiler Tag just incase)

• Fav Episode of the set: Manhatten Project/Pizza Face/ Chinatown Ghost Story. There are SO MANY good episodes on these discs!! It's hard but I choose Manhatten Project as a whole for just being really good and having Dune references. Pizza Face for being just crazy, reviving a stupid toy into something "more", being able to incorporate zombies, and giving Mikey some more star time. Chinatown Ghost Story for being an homage to Big Trouble in Little China. That was just so cool to stumble on that episode.
• Least Fav Episode: Plan 10/ Mazes and Mutants. Although I enjoyed the LARP aspect, getting more into the Turtles development and seeing something new, this episode just seemed the weakest of the bunch to me, and I never fully understood Malachi or his powers. Everything felt phoned-in/softballed but the action was still good and there were great moments as well. Both episodes just felt very "throwback" from the 80s/early 90s era of cartoons.
• WTF: Does anyone actually watch the Mutation of a Scene? And like them? I couldn't stand the ones on Rise of the Turtles and I normally love behind the scenes tech-features. Can we get some actual features? Interviews with cast and crew? Commentary tracks on select episodes? Insight on the show's creators and Eastman & Larid weighing in? Oi
