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

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ).

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

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.

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

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

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

Woo Hoo!

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

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?

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.

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.

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.).

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

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.

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

Yep. Now, onto Spidey (hopefully)!

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.

+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.
