---Ruby Trollman Very interesting. It seems strange that they would finally cave and issue sets, only to offer it only as part of their movie club? Thus artificially restricting sales. It's like they're setting it up to fail...
If I can find out any more about this, I'll let you know.

"THIS WOULD BE SO COOL IF..." Well, it IS so cool but would be even cooler if confirmed (as, ya know, fact), which I hope someone (Greg... or otherwise) could do for us A S A P.
O' course, not sure how to feel bout having to join DMC to partake of THIS kinda good fortune (meant to say SSSOOO GOOD... sorry)... but hey, would be SSSOOO worth it just to have actual officially licensed boxed sets to add to the "Collection" (though I have EVERY ep on vid tape at this point, would be SSSOOO AWESOME to have on dvd as well... w/o having to resort to buying any # o' unofficial {& illegal, btw} "Bootleg KP boxed sets" that still rear their "Ugly heads" at times on certain online shop sites), to say nothing of what it would mean to all of us who've fought SSSOOO hard for SSSOOO long to preserve Kimmie's Legacy (more to the point, SAVE KIMMIE'S WORLD).
But I digress... let's get some confirmation before we (or maybe just "I") go all "M. Ed guitar solo AAAHHH YEAH" or "Shego YESSS... SSSWEET!" over it. There'll be a time for that... for now KEEP HOPIN' & (above all) KEEP FIGHTIN' A A BOOYAH!!!

>- I'd make it conditional on three things:
1) The DVDs would need to be as close to broadcast-quality as a domestic DVD can be. I'd prefer they remaster onto HDTV, but realistically we'd be lucky not to get a low-quality transfer. I am not buying any more DVDs from Disney until I'm convinced the quality is there.
Yes, better images and quality sound mean more disks, but paying more for something watchable is better than paying less for disks you can't bear to watch. The latter is false economy. The real cost is the difference between the value of what you give and the value of what you get.
2) If they charge premium for it being a boxed set, they'd best have better extras than were on the KP releases so far. I want something that makes me feel like I'm getting something in return for subsidizing the boardroom drinks cabinet.
3) If they're only offering it via Disney Club, they'd best be willing to work with KP appreciation societies. Fans won't be willing to pay what amounts to a KP Tax, at least in general. Doing the math, it looks like it'll cost me about $30 to join and pick out six "introductory movies" before I can even spend another $55 or so to actually get the KP sets. So it will be a while before I myself can confirm anything, I'm afraid.
However, bgwillia from RS.net did buy both sets and he's already received them! With his permission, I've posted his pictures of the sets on the main page of savekp.com along with everything I know so far about the sets.
I think it's very important for as many KP fans as possible to get these sets to show Disney that there's still interest in this show (and so they hopefully release seasons three and four too). Please help spread the word to your fellow KP fans, especially those that still love the show but have left our movement/group.

Time (& funds) allowing, I'm gonna make a conscious effort to get in on this... though it may mean a bitta extra (&, I think, unnecessary) hassle (i.e. joining DMC &, well, "jumpin through their hoops"), it would be for Kimmie's sake & THAT IS SSSOOO WORTH IT A A BOOYA!!!

>It amounts to $85 for a boxed set that isn't even the complete four seasons. That's a lot, given how little any of the actors or writers will get paid. (I wouldn't mind so much if most of the money went to the cast and crew, but we know that it's unlikely that they'd get a fiver between the lot of them per box sold.) Also, I'm reluctant to get anything recommended by RS.Net. I have a great many serious grudges against those "running" the board these days (including hacking other forums that are for KP fans). It's a tough call - I love KP but I despise the involvement of petty criminals in circulating the news.- Personally I have no intention of buying the sets like that, even if I didhave the money. It's a blatantly obvious attempt to take advantage ofKim's fans.I want everyone to be able to get them at a decent price, so I will waituntil I see them at Wal-Mart or Best Buy, etc.Robert"We've messed up before, but don't try to pin a VOLCANO on us!"
---Ruby Trollman - Whoa folks I'm happy KP is coming out and am all for supporting. So lets see what we have; only first two seasons, ok. Also it's requirement to join a movie club with fees which I am against. Just like credit card fees. Why should one have to pay to use? Are we getting to this point now?? So weather it's 85$ or 150$ it is alot for KP dvd sets. I am so conflicted with happiness and anger ;x

- So no fee but have to buy 5 DVDs within 2 yrs? Kinda sounds like a catch and an upfront fee just to get awesome KP DVDs. Which isn't that a joining fee?? As you can see I'm upset that I just can't buy the KP sets. Why must Disney make things so hard and confusing?? :x

---Ruby Trollman I, for one, am no more in favor of joining DMC than are Robert & others here... for the same reasons. However, there is one (I think) VEEERRRY IMPORTANT point to consider, & that is:

Seems to me that, in itself, is reason enough (I think... again) to at least consider joining the "Club"... it is for me, anyway (still just considering right now o' course, but maybe...). In any case (& as always)...

I'm still not happy bout this turn of events but he was mentioning how there are unreleased movies or thought to have been unreleased until now cause only available from joining club so that's inticing me :)

On the other hand, if it sells well they get lots of money for OUR work in keeping the series alive.
Heads they win, tails we lose. I don't like it. But if we do nothing, we will get nothing. Robert, you'll wait for wait for what exactly?
I spoke with Bob Schooley about this, and he agrees that if DMC gets a significant number of new members because of the KP sets, it would greatly help our efforts to get the rest of the series released.
Everyone needs to make up their minds for themselves, but I really think that it's important that as many fans as possible join and get these sets! Again, all the details are posed on http://savekp.com/--- On Sun, 11/7/10, Robert Teague <rteague@...> wrote:

Okay so, after "Seeing both sides o' the coin" (which both Greg & Robert have presented in true MKP form) here's my final take on this "Sitch":
On the one hand, I'm with you Robert... Honestly, I would much rather wait for a "General" release than "Jump through the hoops" required to achieve this LONG-TIME goal (i.e. the Boxed Sets) which MANY in this "KIMunity" have sought (& fought for) so vehemently.
On the other hand, it's because of the aforementioned LONG-TIME goal (& ALL aforementioned with) that I'm SERIOUSLY considering "Placing my bet" on Greg's "Side o' the coin" ... translation: I think I'm gonna go ahead & join DMC a.s.a.p., simply because it's one (of a number of) VERY IMPORTANT "Victories" we've all been waiting SSSOOO LONG & working SSSOOO HARD to attain & it's been a VEEERRRY LONG TIME (factoring in how long we'd fought just to get the Fourth Season... & how long it's been since THAT "Victory" to the present day) in coming (CAN I GET A "BOOYAH"?!!!).
In any case (& as always)...

Also it's a small price in reference to the movement but still a high price for those not involved and why would others not from this group jump threw hoops for KP?? Does anyone outside of here still remember Kim? I mean how many are active here? And realistically how many dvd's of KP will be sold because of this? 15 sets? 20 sets? Is that worth it Disney?? Of course like as is with all Disney non-wanting to promote cause they really didn't want it, it's gonna fail so yea if want them go ahead and act soon.

JJ meiamj@... - Hi, all--Disney XD is showing episodes of Kim Possible a couple of times a day.Caveat: they are cutting scenes. In "Stop Team Go" they cut the scene in the photo booth.RobertWARNING: Objects in telescope are farther than they appear.
- That is horrible ;( why would they be cutting out some scenes? :(On 1 March 2014 19:14, Robert Teague <rteague@...> wrote:Hi, all--Disney XD is showing episodes of Kim Possible a couple of times a day.Caveat: they are cutting scenes.

To make room for commercials, what else?At least with Winx Club there's lots to cut without touching the story (i.e. the transformation sequences every episode).RobertWARNING: Objects in telescope are farther than they appear.
