I've seen many reviews on these DVD's, claiming they are "Rip-Off's" and "Wait for the box-set". Now, I do not have satellite, or even cable for that matter. I can't watch this great show on TV.

So (Unlike alot of people, it would seem) I'm willing to push out the 10 bucks every 4 or so months, (I will NOT however, pay the 20 they wanted for the first volume) so I can get five more episodes of this show that I have grown fond of. Besides, I believe the audio commentaries alone are worth the money.

I'll buy this when it comes out. And I'll probably love it like I have the others.

This voulume in paticular has my favorite nemesis. The Sentinels! This one is worth getting to see the X-Men battle them to the finish. I was really impressed with the action sequences in this entry. This paticular one gives you five episodes instead of the usual four or three. I do like watching Wolvie being the leader is this story. Scott Summers (Cyclops) turns out to be the brooding outcast in this one. Wolverine and Cyclops switch roles in this universe. The writing was better than the previous voulumes and the interactions between the characters are much better in this set of episodes.

i paid 25 for all volume 1-6 and it was worth it. It was about alittle more then $4 for each volume but im glad i did.. besides my kids love it as well. even my 5year old daughter loves it... so dont wait anymore just buy now..

Loved this collection of episodes, especially the Hunting Grounds which was like the movie Running Man, but with Nightcrawler...

There are several reviews for this DVD series stating things like "Don't buy these, wait for the box set." But that's ridiculous logic. Think about it - why do companies release DVDs with only a few episodes on them? TO TEST THE MARKET. If the numbers come in low for the tester sets, then they quit releasing the series.

Granted, some companies release things this way for the money, but I really think LionsGate was testing the water and now that they are seeing steady sales of the Wolverine & the X-Men DVDs, they are continuing to release the series. After they release the entire series by volume, sure, they may go back and release it by box set, but if their initial sales had been bad, they would never release all the episodes. And I believe the evidence lies in the number of episodes that are included on each volume - the 1st volume only had 3 episodes, but each volume after has had 4-5 episodes - hence the tester DVDs have had good sales, and now they want to release the entire series for the fans.

I encourage people to check out this series. I am a huge fan of the 90's X-Men series, and this series comes much closer to that than the Evolution series did. Each episode stands alone, but it also has a great arching storyline which keeps the series moving forward. 5 Stars.

I'm practicing the very difficult art of "patience" and am awaiting the eventual box set release of Season 1 with all 26 episodes together.

But....if you do decide to go the more expensive route of purchasing the 6 volumes seperatey, take comfort in knowing that the approximate $60.00 it will cost you to purchase them seperately bought you 9 hours and 53 minutes worth of animated X-Men goodness (although volume 6 hasn't been announced yet but when it does it should have the last 3 episodes)!

If that's worth it for you then more power to you, enjoy your purchase because waiting for the complete box set of Season 1 is just as difficult a decision to make as it is to drop that $60.00.

Now, who wants to guess how much the Season 1 complete box set will go for here on Amazon?

I say definately below $60.00!

Know what's funny, regardless that it's animation, I would rather have over 9 hours of this show than 2 hours of that silly Wolverine movie even if I do end up dropping that $60 (fingers crossed I can resist)!

Fox movies could learn a thing or two from this animated series on how to properly handle their Marvel license and not just with the X-Men!

Thanks for reading, hope this helps you make your decision.

Now c'mon Lionsgate, i'm not getting any younger.....please hurry with the Season 1 Box Set!

Oh, and did I mention that a Cap, Thor and Avengers movie are being made, i've died and went to heaven.

Edit: Screw this, i'm also going the Amazon Canadian route, I don't need no stinking commentaries....thanks for the heads up everyone.

Excelsior!

Did you know there are 24 episodes in this season? That means I am missing 19(30min)shows. I did not get what I paid for therefore I have lost my "Fate in the Future" of contining to by these series.
