-- Past several weeks i've been getting so many contradictions on info regarding the 'Ninja Tribunal' story arc. Pre- Fast Forward and the Tme travelin' thing.. this wraps up the Turtles adventures post Shredder's Defeat and Leonardo's return to N.Y. and the dawn of the 'Real Shredder'!! One second it's on Pay-per-view the next second it's not.. it's coming out on DVD .. the next it's only coming to Disc out in Australia.. but contrary to what i've heard.. i guess we'll have to trust Dan B. at the official site. Ok here's what i've got so far ..




- You guys in the U.S. may wanna take note of this.. and drop 4kids a line.. from Dan B. :: "As many of you have already heard, Comcast Cable has dropped the "Ninja Tribunal" episodes from its "Video On Demand" service, unfortunately we don't have any definite information regarding why this has happened at the moment. To make matters more frustrating, 4Kids Home Video has removed the DVD set comprising the 13 "Ninja Tribunal" episodes from its DVD release schedule. Mirage continues to have discussions with 4Kids about releasing the Ninja Tribunal episodes on some format. If we are successful in convincing 4Kids that there is a viable market for these episodes, we will post a notice on the web site."


In the meantime, if you'd like to contact 4Kids and request that the DVD set be released, you can write to them at the following address:


4Kids Home Video

( Emails are great ..but good ol' fashioned letters on paper still carry alotta weight this day n' techno-logical AGE..drop 4Kids a line !! I'm gonna try !! ~tOkK )

..and important.. if you guys are so desperate ..outside Australia anyways.. to get this set disc remember .."This DVD is formatted for playback on PAL enabled systems (Australian Standard)." It is NOT region free..so unless you got a way to bypass that (which many people do..durr..) you may wanna hold out a little longer for a North American release. All signs i am reading that 'Ninja Tribunal' should be released at some point. So let's get letter writin' and stay patient as we can !! I mean those of us that want an official Stateside release. Otherwise.. well you may wanna get the Aussie set.







-Back to the Future.. Danny B. also warns as far as TMNT : FF .. the first set is listed on Amazon (**click here for info)for pre-order as.. ::




"TMNT Fast Forward: Future Shellshock Season 1 - The Turtles and Splinter suddenly find themselves in a futuristic world inhabited by a "melting pot" population of humans and aliens. Who's responsible for this mess? Why non other than Cody Jones, Casey and April's fourteen-year old great grandson, who accidentally pulled the Turtles through a "time window" to the year 2105!


Future Shellschock contains 13 episodes action-packed episodes on 2 discs .."


Release is scheduled for February 6, 2007..


- 'TMNT: Next Mutation' ..love it or hate it..still lives.. here's a bit from my pal Hero i let slip by me..a real doozie.:







Hero: "The first 11 episodes of TMNT:TnM are now out over here for £4.99.


The track listings are shown in the second picture ^^


This is part of a series of 3-disc boxsets from Jetix that features programming not even shown on Jetix over here since the change from Fox Kids (oddly enough). Other sets include: Transformers RID, Care Bears, VR Troopers, Action Man and The Super Mario Brothers Super Show.


Next Mutation is a fabulous series and well worth £4.99 for 11 episodes. It is possible there is a second boxset lurking around since there have been two boxsets for Care Bears and VR Troopers. I'll keep you updated.


..i'll double check with Hero and keep ya informed.. especially State-side.. there is still a small but cool following for Next Mutation in North America that would love to see these Eps in disc ..(just short of downloadin',oi ).. Currently N.M. is D.O.A. in U.S. ..
