Season 3 Australian DVD Release - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Hmm, it looks legit to me. They also have the other two seasons on DVD and they're the same ones we have, and the KND one (which I also have). There's also CN trademarks on the bottom of each page. What throws me off is the release dates compared to the States' release dates. S1 was released only a month after we got S1. S2 was released over a year after we got S2. And now they get S3 before we do? They may have a deal with CN, and CN gave them the green light to sell the DVDs down there, but haven't cleared it for the States yet. And maybe for copyright issues, the cover art wasn't cleared for them so they created a generic one for now.

Sorry, I probably caused all that confusion by being unclear. This is the deal, from what I gather:

They're legit, but Madman apparently have CN's permission to create their own releases for sale exclusively in Australia. For example, they have complete seasons of Dexter's Lab and Courage (and those were released a few years ago, so they're definitely Australia-exclusive).

They also make their own cover art, most evident from this:

(Note Grim's shadow from the first season's cover art looming over stock art of the four main characters, including himself.

)

Well, anyway, congrats to Australian fans, and hopefully a US release will finally happen someday.

Seriously, they had cover art ready, advertised it on another DVD and then just scrapped it entirely?!?
