Season 3 Australian DVD Release - Page 2 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Lynnie · 03-14-2010, 12:31 PM

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?!?

In many cases, the North American/US cover art is different from other parts of the world. In this case, this does not match what Craig told me at Comic-Con. He told me that the cover art would have featured Eduardo.

I've been looking at this topic about Season 3 DVD for a bit now, but, to be honest, I cannot think CN will bother realising it. All the seasons are on iTunes in the US anyway.

Also today, I was poking around Craig (McKraken's) deviantART page today for the first time in a long time and he says:
"The DVD releases are not up to me but Cartoon Network. But as far as Foster's Season 3 goes I don't think it will ever come out. Years ago we designed all the packaging for it but then it got pulled off their release schedule for some reason. They never told me.
I doubt there will be any more Foster's releases as the show is off CN's radar now. The best luck you might have getting the rest of the seasons is iTunes.
Sorry I couldn't have been more helpful, I wanted it to come out too."

Well... like I said, I apologise if I make any of you jealous.

Ah, that looks more like it!

Still wish it was available here in the States, but if it sells well down there, maybe we still have a chance to see it in the future.

If we do get it I'll bet the extras will be ads for CN's reality crapfest.

In any case it's nice to see that Eduardo gets his cover after all.

That really is a nice video cover there. It gets the ORD Seal of Approval.

If only it were in the US... And look, it contains some shorts! I think they just need to release seasons 3-6 already!!!
