Does anyone know if the Toxic Avenger Tox Box Set is out of print?
 

Does anyone know if the Toxic Avenger Tox Box Set is out of print? I am having a tough time tracking down this box set, even Ebay only has one at this time. Is the Toxic Avenger 21st Anniversary dvd out of print also? How many Toxic Avenger movies were there? Does Troma sell their own dvds?

there are four movies. 2 and 3 were essentially shot at the same time and because there was so much footage they just broke the movie into two sequels. Watch out for some version of 2 which were incorrectly transfered with the R-rated version, it's particularily noteworthy because Lloyd's commentary track doesn't match with what's being displayed.

yes, Troma's website does sell videos (DVD/VHS)

DVDEmpire lists it as discontinued and Troma's site lists out of stock, so it probably is OOP. There's a notify option on the top left of the Troma page where you can hopefully get a notification if it comes back:

The 21st Anniversary Edition of the first film sucks.

It's a non-anamorphic cropped widescreen transfer of a film that's obviously composed for 1.33:1. Granted, this is "The Toxic Avenger" we're dealing with so you would think the cinematography isn't that important but the cropping is quite drastic. For example, there's a shot of the "Tromaville Health Club" sign where the first and third words are pretty much completely cropped out by the cropping.

The extras exclusive to the set aren't worth your time or money either. I have both the fullscreen 1-disc SE and the widescreen 2-disc version and I can honestly say that I wouldn't mind if the 2-disc version went missing as long as I had the 1-disc edition.
