^same i noticed that as well. i grabbed em both after work today.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

I pre-ordered these from DVD Planet, as I had some store credit to use up.... but street date has arrived and no shipping notice yet. I called them, and they said their stock hasn't arrived yet. Argh..... why can't they have these in stock on the release day?

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

I'll wait till Amazon peeps can confirm slip covers or not.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

best buy's got the same deal going on this week. when you buy x-men volumes 3 and 4, you can save an additional $5. right now, the bestbuy.com website has each title going for $16.99, so they're brought down to $14.49 each after the discount. seems like the best price i've seen (total: $28.98). amazon deal is probably best for most, but if you've got RZ certificates like i do and don't want to wait for shipping, it's another option. the promo is only online though, since best buy stores have the titles for $19.99 each, and if you have them price-match the $16.99 online price, the deals won't stack, so you've gotta just set it for in-store pick-up.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Mine from Amazon had slipcovers this time (which are going straight into the recycle bin -- I can't afford to give up the space unless they're different from the key art and essential to the package, like the 2-disc or Blu-ray Iron Man or Dark Knight).

..what? It's a slipcover...barely adds anything..I'd keep it, and I usually do.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Maybe not individually, but it adds up! 3 DVDs with slipcovers take up about the same amount of space as 3.5 - 4 DVDs without.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

I got slipcovers from Amazon as well, but these are going into the trash. I didn't receive slipcovers for Vol. 1 and 2, so I'd like to have everything consistent.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

I picked up my copies of Vol 3 & 4 at WalMart today. My store had them (with slipcovers) for almost $20 each, so I price-matched them both down to Target's prices.. after a lot of talking among the employees just because the cover looked a little bit different in the ad. :/

I have the Vol 1 & 2 slipcovers as well. They look so nice. I'd never think of throwing them out (though I never throw slipcovers out anyway :p).

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

I went ahead and ordered 3 and 4 from Amazon since one of them showed up in my Goldbox for a few cents savings. Not bad getting both for ~$28

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

This a really petty complaint, but does it bother anyone else that Volume 1 and Volume 4 have Wolverine on the spine? Volume 2 has Jean Gray/Phoenix and Volume 3 has Cyclops. I just think it would've made more sense to not repeat a character.

Oh well, at least they are keeping the artwork pretty consistent (spine, top border, bottom caption, etc.).

EDIT: I am a little bummed they are on the DVD in order of air-date and not production order. I hate watching the episodes with discontinuity.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

I know others have already confirmed this but my order from Amazon had the slipcovers.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

If it bothers you, Sabretooth is on the opposite side of the slipcover spine so just put it on the shelf backwards.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Here is the cover art for Volume 5, which supposidly comes out March 3rd.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Woo Hoo!

It'll be time to grab the complete series soon. :D

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Do you think they'll release a series set? I grabbed volumes 2 & 3 used for $7.50 each a few weeks back, and I'll keep a lookout for the rest, but what are the odds of Disney releasing a series set?

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

As long as it took to just get the series out, I doubt it, BUT the sales were evidently very good, so who knows? Maybe we'll get a mini X-mansion or jet or something. :)

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Yeah, it took this damn long to get it on DVD as volumes...I don't give a fuck about a set. I'm just happy to finally get this shit. I doubt Disney would make a set for it.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Yeah, I can't see Disney releasing a complete series box since they haven't even finished off their own TV shows (i.e. DuckTales, Chip & Dale, TaleSpin, etc.).

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

A complete series boxset would be very nice the same day as the release of this final volume.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Awesome news!! So glad they are releasing the final episodes. I watched this series religiously when it originally aired.... and after all these years it has held up magnificiently. I've enjoyed these dvds every bit as much as I did when I watched these on tv all those years ago. These dvds have been worth every penny for me.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Volume 5 is the last one and the X-Men series is complete then??

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Yep. Now, onto Spidey (hopefully)!

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Yep. That'll do it.

I'm just glad their finishing it. This is in my Top 5 cartoons of all-time. It's a staple of my youth.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

+1

I really wouldn't mind seeing Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, either, although I'm not sure who holds the rights to that one.
