Lionsgate to announce their next TMNT 87 DVD later this month!

[Chaotix12345]

Awesome! Great to see that it actually includes some special features.

[Jester]

August 14th sees the end of Leo, Don, Ralph and Mike when Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Season 10 hits stores from Lionsgate Entertainment.

ARGH!!!

(Sorry, but it it really THAT hard to get right?)

Well, it's at least refreshing to know that it won't be anything less than the complete Season 10. I've pretty much given up on LG releasing those Lost Episodes at this point.

Also, the TVshowsOnDvd.com description is pretty funny:

August 14th sees the end of Leo, Don, Ralph and Mike . . .

I'm sad to learn that the Turtles may meet their demise in Season 10, but at least Raphael will be safe.

[Ioz]

I hope they have the missing episodes as an extra at least.

[LeoNerdo]

I'm glad it's the complete season and that they produced some new special features for the last DVD set. I had hopes but I'm not surprised by the lack of any mention of Once Upon a Time Machine or Planet of the Turtleoids.

[oldmanwinters]

Animator interviews really do sound like they could be interesting if they are done properly. Hopefully we'll get to see some Model Sheets or something like that.

Also...

Carter soon realizes that the only way to defeat Dregg, Krang and Shredder is to bring the Turtles' past selves to the present...doubling the Turtle power!

Kinda gives me flashbacks to Turtles Forever.

Which is doubly ironic or amusing, considering Laird said on his TMNT blog, he didn't much know or watched the Red Sky episodes.

Either way, I've given up waiting for their correction and to release those aforementioned episodes, as well. Maybe we'll get better luck with Viacom in a few years.

It would be nice if they gave a feature to storyboarding or a few storyboarders, as I've often wondered how a 87 series storyboarding session would go. If not, a Jeffrey Scott interview would be quite germane, and shed new light on what happened behind-the-scenes. (Or, get David Wise, since he did help write the season premiere, right?)

And poor Ralph. He gets no respect.

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Tee...971Tvshowondvd has select animator interviews listed as well as 8 episodes with no mention of the missing 3.I suppose there is no way to ask about it aside from the email. Ah,well, there is still a reason to keep my DVD/VCR then.

[CyberCubed]

Man that description sounds like it will be the last Lionsgate Turtle DVD ever. I hope they sell the series to Viacom.

Man no Turtle Tip shorts either. We really need those released.

[Jephael]

There's just no pleasing you, is there? I'm sorta on the fence about buying season 10, especially considering the current circumstances of my living arrangements. If Lionsgate were to put the missing eps on their final release as a bonus, I'd definitely buy it.

[Jester]

It wouldn't be a Monday if Cyber Cubed wasn't griping.

[CyberCubed]

Well we did finally get 95% of the original cartoon on DVD. No need to keep old VHS tapes or prowl the internet for uploaded episodes, we now can relive our childhood to completion.

Well....besides the two skipped eps. But they are on official VHS tapes and can be found on youtube.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I'd take the tapes over YouTube

[Ravenxl7]

It being season 10 isn't really surprising. It'll definitely be nice for those that have all the already released sets. Though I'm still going to hope for a full series set to be released sometime. If not, I see that all of the sets released so far can be bought on Lionsgate's website, so if we don't get an announcement by a certain time, and assuming that all of the sets are still up for sale at that time, I'll probably just end-up buying the sets from them a couple at a time.

I did send an email out to Lionsgate asking if they had considered releasing a set of the entire series. Though I didn't expect to get any real info from their response, and I got what I expected. What I didn't expect was to get a response not even an hour after I had sent the email. No real info, but it's comforting to know that their quick to respond to questions.

Uggghhh I hate that too; they've since changed it .

[Luke795]

Has anyone asked Lionsgate about the missing episodes on their facebook website or on their twitter website?

People have been e-mailing them about it since the Season 5 set came out back in...2007 or whatever it was. I doubt the emails are reaching the right people.

[darthsmozers]

What's the email address so we can all give it one more try?

[Jester]

You could try this phone #:
For general information about Lionsgate, please call our Santa Monica headquarters at 310-449-9200.

I figured this was gonna be the case. I'm not too bent about it. POTT was fun but the Time Machine episode is pretty terrible. I still have my digital copies of the episodes anyways. Not ideal but I don't see myself watching them enough for it to matter all too much.

It is a bummer it's not 100% complete but I've seen shows get worse treatment so we should be so lucky. Gargoyles never even saw a full release. The Tick only got two seasons and episodes were cut. Some popular toons, like the 90s Spider-man series, never even got a DVD release. Despite a successful film franchise and several chances to coincide the releases. Yet other Marvel series like X-men, Fantastic Four, and Ironman have all seen full releases. In the UK however all these series are available, yet they're lacking in the OT department. Makes no sense.
