As a fan I'd buy it for $20 if I had to, but how many average people would folk over for only 8 eps.

Um, it's no different from season 8.

How can anyone say this is the best Box Art yet? The first season actually had OT artwork and it was awesome. I don't even know why they put money into copying the 2k3 turtle designs OT style, any stock art from the OT would have looked better, I doubt it made kids that are fans pick up the DVDs more because they got confused counting the 2k3 show didn't have as many fans as the OT did and the OT turtles were probably easier to market/easier on the eyes at a store shelf.

I did find it neat at first to see the 2k3 turtles done OT style, but they covers were really bad, heck remember that Donatello one that was used two volumes in a row only the second volume was zoomed in on his face... The Box arts did improve after S4, and this new one isn't as bad as some of the Season 3 ones but its still disappointing. Heck I wish they had kept the ripping off the 2007 film turtles stock art instead of going back to 2k3 which already have plenty of covers. And yes since its already messed up I do hope they copy stock-art of the new Nick show.

Amazon's preorder is for $10.49.

My thoughts exactly. It's got me very excited but at the same time worrisome 'cause I don't have deep pockets.

*CyberCubed* · 05-31-2011, 04:18 PM

There is also the Sideshow Shredder to save up for.

oh yeah, didn't know about that

*Redeemer* · 05-31-2011, 04:20 PM

I think art looks pretty awesome, but I dont think it looks epic enough. I hope season 10 has an epic art cover

*CyberCubed* · 05-31-2011, 06:36 PM

They better go all out with the Season 10 release since that might be the final Turtle DVD Lionsgate ever puts out.

Don't make me laugh. They're gonna put out a bare-bones release, make a quick buck, then sell their distribution rights to Viacom for a couple million, laughing all the way to the bank.

At least, that's what my crystal ball says.

*CyberCubed* · 06-01-2011, 06:53 AM

I suspect at the least we'll get all 8 Season 10 eps, but I hope the 2 skipped eps and Turtle Tip shorts are included.

*Spitfire* · 06-01-2011, 08:04 AM

I don't see that happening. If we get a series box set we might see that but who knows. They don't seem to care much. I'm surprised we got this far. As much as I love the series it's not all gold and I'm sure the sales have been pretty crappy on the past few sets. I don't see Red Sky selling well at all because by then most people had stopped watching the show and a lot of fans don't even like it.

I doubt anyone but fans are buying these sets besides little kids who jut happen to want it because they like the cover. And didn't the Season 7 and 8 sets sell pretty well?

I think I remember Murphy saying the Season 7 slices sold very good.

Prepare to be disappointed per usual by LionsGate

One thing regarding the Turtleoid special... now, I either haven't seen it, or if I have, I saw it when I was little and don't really remember it, BUT according to some random commenter on YouTube, there was mention of "adamantium". I wonder if there's any copyright stuff going on with that, as I know that to be a fictitious metal in the Marvel universe.

I believe it. They were released as part of the 25th anniversary, so it makes sense that they spiked in sales numbers.

I think this has been brought up before. It's unlikely, but very interesting either way.

I wish Lionsgate would just tell us what's up.

*CyberCubed* · 06-01-2011, 04:27 PM

After the season 9 set comes out I plan on doing one last email spree asking them to include the skipped eps as bonus eps on the Season 10 DVD.

I suggest everyone do the same after August.
