Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 
The Best Buy I went to yesterday in Colorado had both slipcover and non-slipcover copies of both Volumes 1 and 2 for sale. They seemed to have more non-slipcover copies, so maybe the slipcover editions are the ones that are selling out first?

I went to the Best Buy by my work at around 4 PM yesterday and they were completely sold out. So i had to go to the one by my house which had a few left over.

i live in toronto. i bought x-men animated volume 1 & 2.

volume 2 came with a slip cover but volume 1 did not. i asked the clerk and he said that volume one didnt have a slipcover when he put them out.

i just want to know if a volume 1 slip case does exist, becasue some stores had no slip covers for volume 2 and some did. so far i havent seen one for volume one but id like to kno.


thanks
Both vol. 1 and 2 that i bought yesterday had slip covers. Out of the 10 or so of each dvd that was left on the rack only 2 of each had slip covers. I ended up buying one of each so there was only 1 of each with slip covers still on the rack when i left while the rest were slip coverless..

Amazon has them for $30.98 for the pair - best deal yet:

Scroll down until you see the promotion about buying both together!

Wow, so these are more than the first two seasons? I was going to pass because I thought these "volumes" were just going to include a few random episodes each. Now I'm in! AWESOME!

I'm disappointed in Disney for released the syndication versions but what can I expect. They always tend to do stuff like that. It's very upsetting, but I will likely pick these up anyway. I used to love this show but it's been a long time since I last saw it.

I don't have a problem at all with the syndicated versions mostly because I don't remember too much from the series and I doubt it would hamper my viewing of these.

Technically its the first two season + 7 from Season 3. It ends at the Phoenix Saga.

I thought it was settled that these were NOT the syndicated versions, but the full, unedited versions.

Yeah, I don't think there's been any proof that these are the syndicated versions from everything i've read here.

Those slipcovers look sweet. I doubt my order from Amazon will have them though :(

I don't know. Someone on the Amazon.com page, from User Reviews, claims otherwise. I haven't seen them in a long time so I doubt I would even notice/remember the details of whats missing (if anything).

As for the slipcovers, I'm considering purchasing them from Best Buy or wherever, taking the slipcover, and then returning the order from Amazon to the store. Not sure whether or not I should do this, I certainly haven't tried something like that before, but technically I'd still have purchased the DVD's and in a way I'd feel like I paid for the slipcovers. Those are very nice looking.

Mine came from Amazon and did not have slipcovers. They would have been nice to have, but not a deal breaker for me.

That's exactly what I've done in the past with missing slip covers.

From what I can tell... they are uncut. I'm certainly seeing more footage than airs on TV.

According to "FlawedCoil82" in this thread here:

These episodes ARE uncut.....

I'm trying to locate my own VHS tapes I made when the show first aired.

I did not get the slip covers either. If anyone is interested in selling their slipcovers for both volumes 1 and 2, I will be happy to pay a decent amount for them.

Cool, let us know if you run across anything....

In the meantime, there is more confirmation from the review at HTF:
"The episode running times reflect that of the original broadcast as well, so as far as I can tell, these are the versions that will avoid fan backlash."

those slipcovers are AWESOME. MUST. FIND. NOW.

i've been to about three stores and haven't seen any with slipcovers though... hmmm... hopefully ill stumble upon some.

Again...Visually are these things clean? Or does it have VHS quality?
