A City at War, the Battle Nexus, and more!

"This 2-disc set collects the remainder of season 2 from the 2003 Ninja Turtles animated series. Note that while the Amazon graphic lists 13 episodes, there are actually 14 on this set and the final packaging has the correct number.
Season 2 of TMNT took the Turtles on a wild roller coaster of stories, and the episodes here reflect this. There are gang wars, inter-dimensional tournaments, alien planets, underground civilizations, and more. One of my favourites is the two-parter "Rogue in the House" where the Turtles team with a lost Triceraton to take down the Shredder's newest fortress. You also get crossovers with Stan Sakai's "Usagi Yojimbo" characters and a loving homage to the golden age DC/Marvel superhero teams.
There's definitely enough TMNT for your buck here - a few of the stand-alone stories do feel filler-ish and there's occasionally some story pacing issues (a result of TMNT having its last commercial break so close to the end of each show), but the problems are easily over-looked. Kudos again to another great original cover - can't wait to see what season 3 will look like.
One final note: the synopsis on the back cover actually lists the story arc for the beginning of season 3, which is only briefly teased in the last episode on this disc. Whoops."
This is a good series, if Amazon will fulfill your order

"My son loves this series-- he is six. He unfortunately won't be seeing this from the order I placed. Amazon cancelled this a week after I ordered. I contacted Amazon requesting the order be fulfilled for the price it was offered and customer service told me two times they would not fulfill the order. I was told they did me a favor by sending me an email that they were cancelling my order. Thanks Amazon! This is bad business and this is the second time Amazon has pulled this.I liked amazon but,Idon't do business when companies start this."
