ewww

glad I got the original releases...

**Jester** · 11-17-2008, 12:10 PM

So we get new box art...BUT NO NEW FEATURES!!! Way to go Mirage. The 25th anniversary is going to soooo rock.

I was really hoping those were special editions

, sadly my dream didn't come true

I've got one thing to say about this...

FAIL

Did they make "Turtles in time" an offcial sub title for the third movie? I might be mistaken but I thought it was just Turtles III. If so, thats a sweet deal

Without any new bonus content, it's pointless. Can anyone confirm that these are just repackaged? And with these new re-releases, what are the chances of getting them on Blu-Ray? I just don't understand how they miss such a big opportunity to update them. Hell, don't even do all of them. As a fan, I'd at least appreciate some sort of an attempt.

In the past year or so, I've found that only Wal-Mart and Buy.com list DVD content consistently anymore. So, we just have to wait on them to tell us if these are just lame repackagings of the already available movie DVDs perhaps?

TMNT · 11-17-2008, 01:06 PM

I checked Amazon's page for each one. It seems like a simple repackaging as they seem to be in stock already. Not to mention these "new" images have replaced the older ones. But then again, there hasn't been any official word on it so I guess you're right gobo, we'll just have to wait.

If not for the fact of the Turtles arms and the sceptre overlapping the circle on TMNT III's cover image, would swear the new covers were simply a slip-cover over the old DVDs.

In this case, it's not 100% Mirage's fault. The WB has far too many BIGGER properties to cash out of.

But if they had a CEO that actually cared about new GOOD content..

Where's the tombstone generator for Gary's career? He belongs more at a lawyer company or as a Banking CEO than head of Mirage.

i like the cover art, but i dont like that it doesnt have new bonus features.

TMNT · 11-17-2008, 03:27 PM

I just realized that each background is a bandana color. So, shouldn't they re-release last year's TMNT but with a red background. Poor Raph got left out. Either way, extras or not, I'm assuming WB would want to cash in with a four film boxset. I woudn't mind seeing the older releases in HD though.

i saw the first films in hd when they were on abc family *yay!*. and the movies do look better in hd, of course. they should release them in hd. also, they should realease a box set of a four turtle movies. although, they should make another turtles movie. that would be awesome to have 5 turtle movies instead of only 4.

*VaughnMichael* · 11-17-2008, 04:09 PM

I still don't own any of these movies on dvd and I guess I still wont this is just really stupid.

*BigApple3AM* · 11-17-2008, 04:26 PM

I don't really like the new packaging, the old packaging was far better. If they were going to color coordinate the movies with a turtle's bandana, I think the first movie should have been Blue (or Red), the second movie should have been Purple, and the third Orange. The first movie was definitely Raph's movie shared with Leo. Second was definitely Don's movie with all the science stuff and his whole disappointment in how he was created. And the third was definitely Mikeys movie with Mitsu.

*Roseangelo* · 11-17-2008, 06:26 PM

And that's all I got on this one.

*Buslady* · 11-17-2008, 07:02 PM

That looks like crap. What a freaking joke. I hate to day the whole 25th Anniversary thing is a waste of so much potential.

*ToTheNines* · 11-17-2008, 07:06 PM

**** man...

This ****'s not gonna sell, and they're gonna say "well, looks like no one cares about TMNT anymore".... wrong, you just wanna rehash ******** that everyone on earth already has.

*CyberCubed* · 11-17-2008, 08:36 PM

So I guess the "directors cut" of the first movie isn't going to happen, huh?

Can't say I'm surprised.
