Batman: The Complete Animated Series DISCONTINUED!! - Blu-ray Forum

billypoe · 02-26-2009, 10:05 PM

I have had the Batman Animated Series Complete collection on my amazon wish list since it was released in November. I check the price of it every day to see if it goes down, and it's always sat at $74.99. Now, I open up my list today, and it says "Item has been discontinued by the manufacturer." What the heck?!?!? The lowest price I can purchase it for from a seller is $189.99!!!

I know WB likes to discontinue DVD's almost as much as Disney, but after 3 months!!! That's ridiculous!!! Does anyone have any information on why this has been done, and do they plan to re-release it in the near future?

I knew I should have bought this. Crap

dvd_mazter · 02-26-2009, 10:11 PM

Wow, I am happy that I picked up my seasons last year. My favourite show when I was a kid and still today is a fantastic show

Hopefully it is just an error in amazon's database because it seems weird they would discontinued it that quickly after it's release

P@t_Mtl · 02-26-2009, 10:12 PM

I bought each volumes some years back as they were release, never planned of buying this complete set.

If anyone is interested on Amazon.ca there is a new set for $90

I literally just got mine in the mail yesterday from amazon. Thank goodness.

Quite a lucky break

What a horrible choice to discontinue! This was my favorite Batman series. I’m glad I have them all though. Bought the last one I needed (volume 1) when they were on sale at best buy for $14.99 in 2007. Still it sucks. Maybe they are going to do a collectors addition?

I bought them individually as well. No need for the set.

There's a reason why things are called "limited edition." It wasn't discontinued, only a limited number were manufactured and Amazon has sold through it's stock.

You can buy it from Wal-Mart.com for $75.86. They have the wrong picture posted for it, but it should be the right item. You could use the Site-to-Store option so you could ensure it was the right item before it got to your house.

No. It's not in stock at Wal-mart.com Looks like my only choice is eBay.

icyteddy · 02-26-2009, 11:51 PM

Glad I bought mine when it first came out. Amazon still have volumn 1-4 on sale.

PH3AR · 02-27-2009, 12:34 AM

Why would they discontinue this great show?

fighthefutureofhd · 02-27-2009, 01:10 PM

they're not discontinuing the show. they're not discontinuing anything. what we're talking about here is the complete series on dvd in a limited edition collector's edition that has run out of copies.

I'm sorry I bought the last one.

But now I can say it because of this:

I would suggest for anyone interested in buying to snatch it quickly if you get the chance. It took me almost a year to collect them spereately as most places do not restock them. Great show, I grew up on it with my older brother.

lobo81865 · 08-18-2009, 10:39 PM

I've already got all of the sets, but would LOVE to see them on Blu.

kartik · 08-27-2009, 05:40 PM

I dont think they are going to re release in near future. try looking for net.

way7 · 01-25-2017, 03:23 PM
