-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The quality is good, not the greatest, but I am dissapointed in the episode order, as there is none whatsoever.

I've not opened mine yet.
This will be the only one I buy (assuming more are even made).

My own set is nearly done.
Need a few more weeks to work out some menu designs and case artwork.
All episodes (missing just 8 half-hour) are present and accounted for at high quality.

[wayshway]

Aww man. That's weak.
I'll wait for LS's.

[MOTUfan]

I well I saw this on the shelve at Target and decided to grab it, just to hold me over for LS's set

At this rate itll be twenty more volumes and IF they did four volumes per year it would take just over five years to get the full series of 421 episodes. BUT i have a feeling itll be two releases per year and take roughly nine years and by then the DVD releases will be discontinued and something else would be in it's place.

And the package states 19 cartoons on two discs when it is only 18, 17 episodes, 1 special and 1 music video so they count the music video as a full cartoon.

I forgot LS its been a few years since we intially talked about Smurfs and I ordered mine, you have everything ecept those eight episodes, the specials the Magic Flute movie??

[konfusion]

in 9 years the smurfs better knock on my door

That is lame. I will never understand these stupid companies. How about they actually listen to what the consumer wants for a change.

[rmehta2]

its a good thing CPS exists...i would be extremely pissed if i had to buy this Smurfs volume 1 dvd set.

[LordGoat666]

I would only buy the official release if it included the episode "No Time For Smurfs" Been looking for it for years.

[Tcel93]

I know, it is really irritating when you are almost there to completing a set and just can't find a couple eps to round it out. I hate making "almost" complete sets. Drives me nuts.
