Yep *goes to site to swipe the stats*

Box Contents:

Bummer... I thought that there wouldn't be any TMNT clips. Ah well, I'm still really interested in all of the other shows. I think that preview video is the one they're planning to air on September 1st.

**HorseTechie** · 08-26-2002, 11:10 AM

That's what I'm thinking too. Prolly why the TMNT have a comic in there, to keep us TMNT fans happy until January.

**azure turtle** · 08-26-2002, 04:12 PM

Yeah... And I bet that mini-comic will be a teaser for the cartoon. Maybe it'll feature scenes from the first episode to be aired later. So far, all they've teased us with are the "shadow" pictures and the new toon logo.

BigThew · 08-30-2002, 07:31 PM

So what do i do when i get to Toys R Us, do i have to buy something, and then get the FoxBox for free, or are tehy giving them out at the doors?

**HorseTechie** · 08-31-2002, 11:09 AM

Dunno... It also sounds like this depends on the stores from state to state. The best bet is to go there and ask them about it when you can.

**Nturtle** · 08-31-2002, 11:17 AM

there is still 5 more months till TMNT comes out, thats a lot, they may still be doing character design

**azure turtle** · 08-31-2002, 01:32 PM

Hey, has anyone had trouble getting the Fox Box? I heard from some people on the list that Toys R Us thinks it has inappropriate material and are sending them back. I have no idea what can be considered inappropriate... I hope it isn't the TMNT's fault.

redvader · 08-31-2002, 01:45 PM

I just went and got mine but they said that they weren't giving the video or the comic out because it was inappropriate. The comic was in there but the video wasnt, i have no clue why they did this. Oh and the video clip on the cd is nothing special it only shows a pic of them

**Karpo_007** · 08-31-2002, 01:47 PM

The comic? the it is tmnt's fault

**Kali** · 08-31-2002, 02:21 PM

I have no idea why they'd think the comic was inappropriate. Even if it was, you think they'd catch it before it got to this stage. Stupid Toys R Us people. Obviously, it's only the distributers who have a problem with it.

*Nickokapo* · 08-31-2002, 02:22 PM

No...i can't believe this...they probably think the comic is "too violent"...well same thing happened with tmnt movie 1 and then the 2nd movie came out and it was childish, so that noone could complain about it...i hope the censors/army of angry parents dont mess with the come back of tmnt, i'm fearing it'll happen like what happend to the 2nd movie...

**Karpo_007** · 08-31-2002, 02:27 PM

Now that Peter Laird is in controll of the tmnt and watches over the projects, i doubt that will happen...

*Nickokapo* · 08-31-2002, 02:39 PM

I know, it wouldn't be laird's fault, he's the one of the idea of a darker tmnt series, i think...what i'm afraid of is the cartoon getting cut at some parts or stop from being aired because people say it's "too violent"...like what happend with the fox box comic...that'd really suck...But then again, maybe it was only the comic/tape, and the cartoon won't be affected.

**azure turtle** · 08-31-2002, 05:02 PM

Yep, I just got my Fox Box, and they definitely took out the video. It had the mini comic, though, and I really liked it. It followed the very first issue that Kevin and Peter did. Full of nostalgia.

From what I've heard, there were no clips of the TMNT in the video. My guess is that they took the video away because of the Muscle anime. An anime show about wrestling might be considered "inappropriate material." I certainly hope the censors and the parents don't ruin the TMNT...

**Karpo_007** · 08-31-2002, 05:08 PM

Ok! so if the comic was in da boxah the tmnt should be safe...

**Nturtle** · 08-31-2002, 05:15 PM

*gulp* no video so we still don't know if there are any TMNT clips huh? the suspense is killing me

**Kali** · 08-31-2002, 05:19 PM

Remember, Cher got the Fox Box, with the video. She said the video didn't have any clips, just a little teaser of baby turtles sitting on a manhole cover with a container of ooze.

**Nturtle** · 08-31-2002, 05:30 PM

oh yeah, so is that all we are going to get in the preview tommarow?
