[The Take Out Bandit]

Sure it's isolated evidence, but fun for geeks. The Thundercats Vol.1 box set was sold out at area Best Buy stores, via a good friend who hit them up late in the week. Who cares if they may have only ordered one or two copies. :lol

Big Ups Thundercats fans!

You know who you are.

damn it, this is why we have too many tv shows on dvd - people who purchased said dvd collection, spend you money on sex or something. pretty soon even more 80s shows we don't need to rewatch or own will be on dvd if this keeps up (see: thundercats)

I'm afraid if I see these episodes now it will spiol all the good memories.

Really? In that case, I'll buy EVERY 80's dvd set I can!

*evil maniacal laughter*

As for Thundercats, it sold out at all my local FYE, Suncoast and Best Buys(Baltimore/DC area). I bought mine within an hour of availablility, so I got mine.

Only problem is there is alot complaints about edited episodes and such with this set. On quite few forums folks are not too happy

Care to present some examples?

How often did Liono ever actually use his sword on someone? I don't remember much about the show, but I remember in the episode where he fought the samurai on the log bridge, they attacked the log rather than eachother, which was incredibly lame.

You're too late, Trolly Trollenstien!

:lol

So...they pretty much covered every ethnicity in that show eh?

Perhaps that's the reason for the absolute lack of pre-release hype / reviews. :X

Gimme links plz. If it's truly awful - I still haven't popped the wrapping on my set.

Crap is not an ethnicity!

This is true. I went to pick one up after work on the day that they came out and they had sold out already.

"
EXODUS - NOT IN IT'S ORIGINAL PRESENTATION - edited for tv version.

Also doesn't appear to be fully restored. A frame appeared to jump during the first few minutes.

THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE- THE ENTIRE SOUNDTRACK IS MISSING! You hear it in French and Spanish but it's nowhere to be heard in the English track.

THE GHOST WARRIOR - Doesn't appear to be fully restored. Note the "Closed Captioning" logo appears in the opening theme suggesting an inferior TV print was used.

MANDORA, EVIL CHASER - Same problem as Ghost Warrior."

Confirmed by tvshowsondvd and they are awaiting answers from WB. Check out HTF and dvdtalk forums if want know more.

Are they implying they used a video source to make a transfer of this episode? I mean, I can see how something like that can be dissapointing, but with material like this can you really expect every single film element to have been saved? I mean, it's not like Thundercats was high art screaming for meticulous restoration and preservation procedures.
