Why the hell are they doing it in volumes? Just put them out in boxed sets. Honest to god.

[PaulsRightNut]

:celebrate:

[slickwataris]

I'll take what I can get. These are 2-disc sets so they should have a good amount of episodes on them.

[fromwithin]

cant wait for the torrents.

[JIMMYateEARTH]

as long as it has the episodes in order of release then I will buy them

[anamericangod]

Good, now I don't have to buy a bootleg.

[colorlesscliche]

All over this.

[WakingTheMisery]

Here is hoping we get Spidey too.

[TheOtherAndrew]

My thoughts exactly.

[drudo182]

Eh. Not too interested unless it's complete sets but yes, it is something.

[colorlesscliche]

What's the number one most requested TV show?

[helikesit]

score.

[clandestinerdc]

What's the number one most requested TV show?

I'd guess The Wonder Years.

[samsara]

thats cool I will end up getting a copy from a friend or something.

[colorlesscliche]

I'd guess The Wonder Years.


Animated. It says that X-men is the second most requested animated series.

[Why Bother?]

Here is hoping we get Spidey too.

Yes.

[slickwataris]

That's what it says on wikipedia.

[Adeniz19]

want.

[eMart]

Holy shit this is awesome news. I really wished they would've gone with boxed sets, but since its one of the most requested shows im guessing they're going to milk this to death.

[colorlesscliche]

I need to sleep on this, I'm not sure if I just want it now for nostalgic reasons.

[Thomas Balkcom]

this is great news, we were just talking about this the other night

[brandnew=love]

I used to have these on VHS back in the day...

they show them on... toon disney, I think? Don't watch them anymore, but yep.

[cahrishurr]

I loved this show just as much as the next kid when I was little but there is no interest in me buying them at my age..wouldnt get any use out of them.

[JustSway]

Here is hoping we get Spidey too.

This is already on DVD.

[drudo182]

Salute Your Shorts!!! I want that series.

[3eb23]

YES. i signed an online petition years back and everything to get this to go to dvd. it's about time. awesome post.

[buysoap]

This is already on DVD.
Say whaaa?

[drudo182]

That list of most requested is pretty cool. ED needs to come out as well. I miss that show.

[JustSway]

Say whaaa?

from what I remember it was released last christmas.

[slickwataris]

Say whaaa?
He lives in England

[TalkShowsOnMute]

nice, check that off the list. now all we really need is Doug...

[Lueda Alia]

This comes out 4 days after my birthday, so I guess I'll know what to ask for now. So excited about this.

[TheOtherAndrew]

This is already on DVD.
The shitty series they made for MTV a few years ago is on DVD. The series from the 90s is not.

[buysoap]

from what I remember it was released last christmas.
Provide a proper link or I call shenanigans.

I'll see if I can find it for you, it was sold via a Hamper Catalogue.

[airik625]

I remember I used to watch this shit all the time. I even have it on VHS.

Full size cover art for the DVD volumes.

I would guess each volume contains 12-15 episodes.

[Miss Heartcore]

I've been watching a few episodes. It seems as though they're trying really hard to re-create the voices from the Saturday morning cartoon when we were kids.

[slickwataris]

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/X-Men-Volumes-1-and-2/11294

Full details and episode titles. Volume 1 will have 16 episodes and volume 2 will have 17.

[anamericangod]

So do these have every episode?

[Thomas Balkcom]

So do these have every episode?

the first 32

[anamericangod]

I guess that's a start.

[TalkShowsOnMute]

I'm gonna have to buy these. Still can't believe it took this long. Now where's Doug?

damn you're right, what's weird is both boxes say "experience 16 episodes..." where there are 17 in Volume 2, do you know why this is?

They wanted to finish the Phoenix Saga in volume 2?

[slickwataris]

That Doug is on CD-R's ....
DVD-R. Region free.

Better than nothing.

[Adrian Villagomez]

I want a box set of X-Men and Spider-Man.

[Thomas Balkcom]

They wanted to finish the Phoenix Saga in volume 2?

just thought that was strange

EDIT: When do you guys think they will release the rest of these?

[PaulsRightNut]

Its weird, cause I have the pheonix saga episodes on dvd. And if I decide to watch it, I always end up thinking to myself... "man, what was I thinking!?"

As a kid this show was amazing. Now its hard not to see how cheesy it can be. I still enjoy it of course...I just think its kinda funny.

I want these now!!!

The X-men series was great. The Fantastic Four & Ironman cartoons were really good too.

[drudo182]

I am going to pick this up on Friday. Looking forward to seeing them again.

[Lueda Alia]

I downloaded the series not too long ago, but I bet there will be some nice DVD rips of it now. Can't wait.

[drudo182]

I can't wait to get some more Gambit action. Been a long time since I've seen any of these episodes. Should be really fun. I think Best Buy is selling both volumes for $35. Not too bad I guess.

[Miss Heartcore]

So it's officially in stores now?

[drudo182]

So it's officially in stores now?

Yeah. Came out yesterday. Volume 1 and 2 hold the number 1 and 2 spots on Amazons Movies and TV sales so we should get the other volumes really soon.

[Metal Now]

Aww this is awesome. It's nostalgia time.

this

[Thomas Balkcom]

bought together on Amazon is $30.98

[danielineffigy]

Fuck yes Nightcrawler.

[3eb23]

Nightcrawler's picture was on Volume 2, so I thought it was going to have that episode with him. That sucked it didn't.

Also I'm glad I got through all those Phoenix episodes. Those were always my least favorite after the stupid Mojo episode... from what I can remember.

[slickwataris]

Volumes 3 and 4 due out September 15th.

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/X-Men-Volumes-3-and-4/12148

[showyourteeth]

i've had a bootlegged dvd set of the animated series for a few years now
it will be good to finally have it in decent quality

[Thomas Balkcom]

still haven't worked my way through Volume 2

[colorlesscliche]

Volumes 3 and 4 due out September 15th.

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/X-Men-Volumes-3-and-4/12148


I'm glad they used the same artist. I hate when TV shows or movies in a series have 2 or 3 same style covers then another one comes out and it just looks completely different.

[slickwataris]

http://tvshowsondvd.com/news/X-Men-Volumes-3-and-4/12206

Episode listings. Only 15/14 this time around.

[Thomas Balkcom]

vol. 3 and vol. 4 will be $15.99 a piece at Target next week

[Miss Heartcore]

YES! I think I'm going to buy my best friend Vol 1/2 as a going away present.

[slickwataris]

Volume 5 comes out May 4. I don't know why Captain America is on the cover. I'm surprised Disney actually will finish this series on DVD.

Iron Man (http://tvshowsondvd.com/news/Iron-Man-The-Complete-Series/13275) is also coming to DVD on the same day.
