TMNT dvd is almost here.. 10 more days remaining.. - Page 3

*DrSpengler* · 04-17-2004, 12:16 PM

Well, we got out shipment in at Suncoast last night.

Only 1 copy of the DVD arrived, and that was the one I special ordered for myself. So it appears that retailers aren't showing much interest in the title, at least not where I work. But if your local video store doesn't have it you can ALWAYS special order it from them.

Legally, I can't buy the DVD until tuesday. But the box is rather nice. It has a cardboard sleeve wrapped around the plastic case (so you can slide the case in out out of the sleeve). The sleeve is rather nice, with a "foil" pressed image of all four turtles standing next to the logo. The picture is...um..."bumpy" (I can't think of the word). In that the image kinda strotrudes outward...ya know what I'm talking about, right?

THe back describes the show but uses a quote fromt he NEW theme song.

"One! Live by the code of the martial arts! Two! Never fight unless someone else starts!"

They choose the worst line too.

The back has a small image of Splinter fighting a metal tentacle. THey don't mention Krang, Bebop or ROcksteady. Just "The Evil Shredder and his Technodrome."

I guess they're trying to trick fans of the new show into picking it up, despite the rather "wussy"-looking original TMNT on the cover.

The front cover has the heading "Include 4 never before seen episodes".

Anyway, that's what it looks like.

Thanks for the info. I hope it's false about the video and restoration quality. That would be a damn shame and make me very upset at the company who puts this out. By the way......some people REALLY need to take a spelling and grammer class here.

It would be really messed up if the audio/video quality is bad. But if it is 9 episodes on only one DVD that could be the reason why.

Then to me that just shows the laziness and lack of effort put into it by the company. And if that is the case, I will complain.

As long as the quality is better than my VHS bootlegs, then I won't be upset. I want to actually see the picture without static. That's all.

The quality is 100 times better then bootlegs and a little bit then the old tapes. It lacks the underwater sound the old tapes used to have. Although the picture has some imperfections but I am gonna say that that's how the original copies of the show are and its nothing they can change themself. But hey I wont complain I am happy I got them on DVD uncut.

I'm going to hit Border's before class and see if they have it. If not, I'll take a drive down to Best Buy. If I can't find there, I'll just order it online.
