Season 1 Set Coming?! - Page 4

*sdp* · 02-22-2007, 01:10 PM

some information from the official site.

Goongasnootch sent in this info:

According to the response I got with a FUNimation representative through e-mail in regards to a TMNT 2k3 series box set:

"There was mention that they were going to release a season 1 set in late May. However since we just distribute for 4Kids that can change. But so far they do have plans to release season sets. I think season 1 will have about 26 episodes."

*Kendamu* · 02-22-2007, 01:19 PM

Yeah. I was talking to a FUNimation Representative about the Dragonball Z Season 1 set that had just come out earlier this month when I remembered that FUNi distributes the TMNT 2k3 DVDs. So, while I still had contact I decided to ask about the season 1 set for TMNT 2k3.

So, while it's still subject to change, that's the word from the closest thing I can find to the source on this new set.

(Hopefully they won't "remaster" it into "widescreen"...)

RightStuf is now listing this release with a 325-minute runtime. That would be about 14 episodes. Ugh.

And Video Universe claims the release is only going to include two discs.

But then again, all this could be just errors. Video Universe recently changed their listed retail price from the average for a two-disc set to the $25 price RightStuf has, but forgot to change their sale price. 26 episodes for 10 bucks would be a great deal.

Also of note is that RightStuf will start selling the TMNT original series DVDs soon. All six volumes so far have been added to their site with an "On Order" message.

Well, going by TV seasons, there were only 18 in season 1. But, if the Funi rep says about 26, I'm sure he's closer to right. That's too big a jump in ep-count.

18, huh?! I take it you're going by the break they had in the Season, or something? As any episode list I've come across has Season 1 at 26 eps.

*gobo* · 02-23-2007, 08:30 AM

Ep 19 of production season one premiered in mid-August, the following TV season. That's what I'm referring to.

EDIT: BTW, I was only bringing this up as a possible reason that the people involved might think that season one was less than 26 eps. Any other number besides 18 and 26 would be unjustifiable.

Yeah, figured that's what you meant. But Seasons aren't really that defined (at least they haven't been for a while). With lots of shows having episodes aired later then the rest in some way or another, but still considered part of that Season, etc.

*Roseangelo* · 02-23-2007, 09:09 AM

The first season was split between Spring and Fall because the series started in February, not September, but it's still all the first season.

*Ecto Jedi* · 02-23-2007, 12:12 PM

I just pray that these DVD season sets actually see the light of day, aren't ridiculously priced, and aren't chopped up into numerous volumes and such. For the love of God, why can't I just get a nice, compact, whole-season set of TMNT in a cool little box? 4Kids will probably screw up this release, just like all of their DVDs.

*gobo* · 02-23-2007, 12:29 PM

With faith like that, it's a good thing I'm not making this thing. I'd screw it up on purpose.

I'd be like, "well, you guys told me to".

*Kendamu* · 02-23-2007, 12:38 PM

FUNi's distributing it. So, if they have any say in it, hopefully it'll be like their DBZ set in episode numbers and price (approx. $30 for 39 episodes).

I do hope you're right. Not having season sets of TMNT 2k3 was one of the greatest travesties ever committed in the realm of cartoons. Let's hope these sets will be able to stand the test of time.

kerfootw · 02-24-2007, 11:52 AM

If indeed released, it'll be 26.

Hi everyone!

*gobo* · 02-24-2007, 12:26 PM

Heyo, noob! ^_^

donatellomn · 03-28-2007, 11:15 AM

Here's the cover art for the TMNT Season 1 Part 1 DVD coming in May. I plan on buying all these season sets that come out, even though I have all the 2K3 DVD's. I wish they would have done it this way to begin with.

*Masked Ninja* · 03-28-2007, 11:45 AM

Could always be better, but that's not too bad! Better than the usual cut 'n' paste job, that's for sure.

*Bry* · 03-28-2007, 12:44 PM

I suppose I'm mostly repeating myself from the other thread, but this looks good to me. I'd certainly prefer to have a boxed set with the full season, but this is far and away better than the releases we've gotten so far, and as long as they're all in the proper order and nothing's left out, I will be buying them.

A lot of series have their seasons' DVD releases split into two "parts" - Transformers and Battlestar Galactica come immediately to mind - so it's not unheard of.

And again, the cover art looks very nice. It's got a cool comic book-style design that just works for me.

Okay so perhaps someone can enlighten me on this situation. (Sorry, I haven't read the entire thread yet.)

According Amazon, the Season 4 Boxset is out, available for purchase.

However, no such sets exist for 1, 2, 3, and obviously 5 just yet.

Is this correct?

So, should I go ahead and buy 4 now being that by the time that 1, 2, and 3 all get released it'll likely be hard-as-hell to find?

Your thoughts?
