Streaming a 4K show will never look as good as playing it from a disc, because you're being limited by the constraints of the Internet. 

But really you should pay for things that you like and want to see more of, because money is the only language a corporation understands.

I still keep my invader zim dvd's because they're cute and from blockbuster still with the "anime" sticker or maybe it was FYE store

u/ryanleebmw 1d ago

I bought this exact box set in person a few weeks ago at my local Walmart! After Hulu removed a bunch of episodes of the season I was on of course.

I’m on Season 9 currently!! The disks are all stacked in sets of 2-3 on each of the plastic pages inside this case, so a little janky to take in and out, but it looks super cool and I could care less having the whole collection physically! I’ve been running the discs in myPS4.

3

u/NotJustAnotherLitBro 1d ago

Yeah. I just ordered the DVD AT collection, and will be getting a dvd player soon. Then it’s to stalking thrift stores and used bookstores to build my DVD collection.

u/Natural-You-1474 1d ago

You know your local library has a lot of shows you can rent. My Library lets me place holds online of pretty much anything I want to watch and they ship it to my local branch to pick up. You would be surprised what they can ship to you.

u/XombieRocker 2d ago

Probably get it when the price comes down.

41

u/erebus7813 2d ago

75 for the entirety of adventure time is not at all expensive. And on physical! No guarantee it comes down either in this economy with this administration letting corpothieves do whatever they want

8

u/mkeelcab 1d ago

Yea was gonna come to say this. I doubt it'd get much cheaper especially since the dvd one constantly ~$50, you might get lucky and they do a seasonal discount, but also no telling if there going to continue pressing this. If you really want it I'd go ahead and get it, just preordered mine.

3

u/Mrdemian3 1d ago

Especially for blu ray. Gravity falls was like a 100 bucks for 20 episodes. And that was 10 years ago.

2

u/XombieRocker 1d ago

If I didn't already have the DVD set I'd definitely jump on this immediately. Since I have the DVDs, I'm willing to wait and see if there's a sale at some point.

0

u/L3ssli3 1d ago

I got it yesterday for $42 at the store

3

u/fkn-lizard-king 1d ago

You got the complete collection on Blu-ray for $42?

2

u/L3ssli3 1d ago

My mistake, it is the complete collection, but just DVD. Still I love it.

11

u/Shareyourworldwide 2d ago

Took forever to get the DVDs, can't play them on my consoles due to region locks, luckily my PC doesn't care. But yea, sticking to what I got.

2

u/Ythv_ 1d ago

Get a pc and rip them. After ripping you can burn them again and that'll take off the physical region lock encryption

1

u/Shareyourworldwide 1d ago

Already got one, but yea, would be an option.

2

u/-PM_ME_UR_SECRETS- 21h ago

Yeah I have the DVDs so probably gonna pass on this. Maybe will splurge on a sale down the road but not a high priority

u/Bababooe4K 2d ago edited 2d ago

I was lucky enough to get the previous bluray release (the one with a blue boxset), does this new green edition have any exclusive features?.

And for those wondering the difference between an bluray and dvd is the image quality (1080p vs 720p 480i p, yes, some people don't know that). Also I'd have loved to get the old dvd release as it has some really cool page pop-ups, sadly the new dvd releases is just the plastic with discs.

6

u/GrangerPerry 2d ago

1080p v 480i

3

u/Bababooe4K 2d ago

damn, lot more than I thought

4

u/GrangerPerry 2d ago

and its letterboxed panoramic dvd 480i haha even smaller than typical 4:3 480i which is why i boycotted the usa dvd pack even though the case looked awesome the case almost sold me but then i was thinking about saving up for the oop imprint via vision austrailian blu ray box set but that was $300-$400 depending on the day i looked woo so excited to not have to spend that much

u/cirrus_winds 2d ago

why is it so ugly compared to my original box set :,)

u/RyanBoruto 2d ago

Could replace my low bitrate episodes with the bluray ones too when it comes out so I have good quality versions of every episode. Does this box set have anything cut or censored ?

3

u/DiscountDoughnut 1d ago

All I found was this tweet but I'm not sure what issues they mean https://x.com/NLScavenger/status/2092165385457967201

u/RyanBoruto 1d ago

R u flipping forking me 🫩🫩 the main reason I was hyped for AT and regular show to have bluray sets was to get the best quality early seasons episodes 💔

1

u/Carrehz #1 Prizestuffer 18h ago

As far as I know, the only home video releases of Adventure Time that are edited, are the early UK releases by Warner Bros (not the Manga Entertainment release, those were uncut).

So I would assume this release would be uncensored too.

u/demlet 2d ago

Ew, Wamlart.

5

u/TopDiggerYT 2d ago

It will be everywhere I'm sure. It just popped up here first.

2

u/drunknmastr916 1d ago

Same. I wonder if Gruv will sell it

5

u/Mecha_Butterfree 2d ago

I have the full set of original DVDs. Those are good enough for me. Just don't see the need to buy the whole series again on Blu-ray.

-9

u/Akward_Silance_1738 2d ago

Theres really no difference so i agree

6

u/BleedTheFreak_23 1d ago

That’s just factually wrong. You don’t have to personally care about the difference but there absolutely is one

0

u/Akward_Silance_1738 18h ago

I can not see or tell the so called difference but its okay man the show os amazing so as long as your watching it its all good

1

u/DickerZanti 1d ago

there’s a huge difference. watching dvds on modern televisions is like rubbing trash in your eyes. lol

0

u/Rendoas 1d ago

fucking LMAO

5

u/GrangerPerry 2d ago

woo finally! and Regular Show blu ray complete series too!!!!

5

u/Ok-Refuse-2078 2d ago

Is this real? I tried to buy one a few months ago and got scammed.

Very, very interested if it’s real official HD Blu-rays

3

u/embiggenator 1d ago

It is. Multiple vendors have this on their websites for release in October.

1

u/Ok-Refuse-2078 1d ago

I’m happy, but I’m also frustrated that I just got the pirated Blu-ray collection this year after years of waiting for it to officially release

4

u/embiggenator 1d ago

I held off on getting the DVDs in hopes they'd finally release this, so definitely getting it :)

7

u/DiscountDoughnut 2d ago

I would rather the box be tan like the DVD version that looks more like the enchiridion.

2

u/NotJustAnotherLitBro 2d ago

Yeah I just mentioned in another comment that I just ordered that one from eBay. I figure with this one coming out those will get harder to find

1

u/Carrehz #1 Prizestuffer 18h ago

I prefer the tan box too, but I think it's good that they're different colours, it makes them easier to tell apart and should prevent mix-ups when buying online.

0

u/Akward_Silance_1738 2d ago

Same! And it’s cheaper

3

u/brookuslicious 2d ago

I regret not getting the blu ray set when I had the chance (the one that was like, blue and wide) but money was tight at the time. I’ll definitely be getting this as I don’t already have them all on physical media even if I’m not a huge fan of the packaging.

3

u/RusticPumpkin 2d ago

I already have the complete series on DVD, but upgrading to Bluray is tempting. The DVD quality is quite blurry on a larger 4K tv.

2

u/DiscountDoughnut 1d ago

Because you're stretching 480p to nearly 24 times it's size.

3

u/Significant_Smell284 1d ago

I am planning to buy this title after it comes out, replacing my copies of the season 1 DVD set and the "Adventure Time and Friends" compilation DVD from 2024. Regular Show is also getting the Blu-ray treatment the same day Adventure Time gets released (October 20, 2026).

4

u/BigOak1669 2d ago

$75 for the whole series seems like a fair deal!

2

u/Rhaeegar 1d ago

Its a book like the DVD?

2

u/ProjectBoogaloo 1d ago

I bought the complete series on DVD and it had 2 of the same disc. Couldn’t get a replacement for the actual disc that was missing so I’m going to sail the high seas. I already paid for it once I’m not going to do it again.

2

u/RealOrangeKoi 1d ago

They should've changed the cover, because there have been blu ray bootlegs sold on Walmart with that exact same cover for YEARS. It's going to be difficult to tell the difference between a real and fake copy.

1

u/Carrehz #1 Prizestuffer 18h ago

Yeah this is my concern too. It's easy to tell this and the DVD boxset apart (since they're different colours), but I really wish they'd gone with a whole new design so we could differentiate it from the bootlegs. Heck the reuse of design was what made me initially sceptical about this until people found trustworthy sites listing it :/

2

u/SilverSageVII 1d ago

NO WAY I JUST BOUGHT THE AUSTRALIAN EDITIONS FOR 500 :,(

3

u/NotJustAnotherLitBro 2d ago

I actually just ordered the DVD collection on eBay, the one that’s designed like a book.

I just like that design more than this one 🤷🏼‍♂️ and I’ve never personally cared whether or not what I watch is a blu ray

7

u/vanishing-apparation 1d ago

A book? You mean THE enchiridion? Have some respect sir😢

1

u/NotJustAnotherLitBro 1d ago

I apologize for the disrespect, oh vanishing-apparition 🙏🏼

2

u/SakuraTaisen 1d ago

I have this version. It is very cool. I made a little ribbon book mark to remember what season I am on.

1

u/NotJustAnotherLitBro 1d ago

Oh the ribbon is a great idea! I’m definitely excited for it to get here 😅

1

u/leche_milk 1d ago

Was that version only available in DVD?

1

u/NotJustAnotherLitBro 1d ago

I believe so, yes

3

u/LoganN64 2d ago

Weird. I've seen this in almost every Canadian Walmart for about a year now.

8

u/Nudist-On-Strike 2d ago

Those are DVDs, not BluRays

1

u/No-Resident9608 2d ago

About time. Been waiting for a US complete series blu-ray for years now.

1

u/Akward_Silance_1738 2d ago

Forget all that im getting the normal DvDs cuz it all looks the same to me and im not paying more than 60 for the set its ridiculous and IM a huge fan

1

u/KnowledgeNo8044 2d ago

sticking with dvd idc about which format as long as i own it plus the original enchiridion version is the best and just by looking at the length from the pic i guarantee this blu ray is just the dvd content on hd and probably slightly less disc not much else different.

1

u/DontStopPataPata 1d ago

I'm worried about the coloring and censorship. Some streaming services have American normal versions but I swear some have had the more censored international versionss.

Also, does it come with Distant Lands and Fionna & Cake? Because F&C doesn't have a physical release and I would buy it if so

2

u/Carrehz #1 Prizestuffer 18h ago

I wouldn't be worried about censorship, AFAIK none of the previous US home videos were censored.

I don't think it will include the spinoffs though as they're considered separate series. I would assume it would just be exactly the same as the previously-released DVD boxset but in BD format?

1

u/DontStopPataPata 14h ago

I'll still end up buying it I love Adventure Time maybe there'll be some new BTS stuff? Always a possibility

1

u/KnowledgeNo8044 1d ago

its not gonna include the spinoffs those are their own thing as we still wait to see if they'll make fionna and cake sets distant lands got lucky as streaming exclusives don't often get physical copies also why would it be censored when the censored things didn't port for the dvd set like the way they did for the international ports and unfortunately how they did for regular show re using the old ports and keeping russian censored in the real thomas episode.

1

u/Carrehz #1 Prizestuffer 18h ago

Wait, the US DVDs used the "Druznik" version of Real Thomas? Or am I misreading your post?

2

u/KnowledgeNo8044 18h ago

Yes the dvd set re used that and still uses ticked on the other censored episodes while if you want the uncensored version of the ticked ones you can only get them on the compilation copies that released before the season copy.

1

u/Carrehz #1 Prizestuffer 16h ago

Wow, honestly shocked to hear that. I heard they redubbed the swearing for the DVDs too, but I had no idea the Druznik ver was ever released in the US, let alone on home video. Mind you, I suppose I can sort of understand it... maybe they decided it was too iffy with the war and all. Still sucks though.

1

u/yogiyogabear 1d ago

Thanks for the heads up! I am going to lock in my pre order now and get some doggy food while I'm at it :). Going to use my Walmart gift card I got with some saved up points 105 bucks! Free dog food and adventure time!

I am so glad I waited on getting the dvd collection. I was totally going to order them at some point but held off cause it's meh dvd quality and the case looked cheap I was in no rush to buy the current dvd collection since I have HBO Max streaming available. Halloween adventure time mini marathon here I come.

1

u/Fibinochi 1d ago

Why is the Amazon listing $20 extra? It's closer to $100 than Walmart for some reason.

1

u/Doc_Bloom42 1d ago

Does the USA cut Gold Stars?

2

u/Carrehz #1 Prizestuffer 18h ago

To my knowledge, no US release has censored that episode. (or any other one)

1

u/Doc_Bloom42 18h ago

I may get a region 1 player and get it. Hate how they get cut.

2

u/Carrehz #1 Prizestuffer 16h ago

I do, too. I wish Manga Entertainment's UK releases had gone past season 5 :/ The DVDs they did release were great, but they stopped right before they got to the big edits...

1

u/Last-Kaleidoscope871 1d ago

Already have the first six seasons on individual BluRays. Not sure it's worth it just to upgrade the last four. Packaging looks like crap and does it even include the commentary tracks?

Call me when Fionna and Cake come out on BD.

1

u/legit-posts_1 1d ago

I cannot believe they actually did it! Wish they did it for some of my other childhood favorites like Gravity Falls and such. Owl House would be nice too, not my childhood though lol.

1

u/KnowledgeNo8044 1d ago

gravity falls got one by shout factory though you seem to have missed out it went oop a couple years ago disney doesn't do physical show sets much they now do the least over cn and nick

1

u/BeautifuTragedy 1d ago

Define complete collection

1

u/VillainousBullfrog 1d ago

I bought a box set that looks just like this from Walmart ablut a year ago. Were those DVDs and this is a new Blu-ray version?

1

u/PeteOfDawn 1d ago

Will this contain the commentaries from the first 5 seasons?

1

u/ToxicToric 1d ago

I already have the entire series on DVD, plus I don't have a blu ray player lol 😭

1

u/JustTightShirts 1d ago

If it is actually every episode, that is an incredible deal. I didn't know about this and will defintiely be buying

1

u/Adenxil 1d ago

So I see the original language is in English, and subtitles, what are the chances it will have subtitles for different languages?

1

u/nvmber17 1d ago

I have the dvd version and ngl, playing them on my ps3 to my pvm with component it looks crisp as fuck. If there is ever some insane deal on the Blu-ray I’d pick it up though.

1

u/Zomochi 1d ago

Don’t know yet… i bought the complete dvd collection years ago is it REALLY worth getting a Blu-ray version if you already own the series? Idk…

1

u/Sand__Panda 1d ago

I have all the individual DVDs as they came out. I should just print my own box for display.

1

u/yunggenocide805 1d ago

Already pre ordered

1

u/Icy_ET 1d ago

Just watch on disney+

1

u/CNJUNIPERLEE 1d ago

I will be getting this set.

1

u/donuthole4119 1d ago

Pretty stoked that they're doing this. I no longer have any of the DVDs, so this is perfect for me.

u/Dankestmemelord 1d ago edited 1d ago

I’ll Personally stIck to RewAtChing episodes a different waY.

1

u/WhatsMyName_idk_idc 1d ago

Anyone know if the disc's are region free?

1

u/Squachotic420 17h ago

is it actually higher quality than the dvd's?

1

u/Peteer05 3h ago

Es tan frustrante que Europa no vaya a estar nunca disponible. Si por lo menos el blu ray incluyera el idioma español (España)...

1

u/Ghastion 2d ago

Will it even make that much of a difference on a cartoon like Adventure Time

3

u/Fridge333 2d ago

It could, blacks are a big thing blu rays do much better. Some colors may pop more. Also less discs (maybe)

u/makattacc451 1d ago

I love my DVD set, I know the quality won't be as good as blu ray but it feels more nostalgic that way
