Earthworm Jim: The Complete Series

It arrived today!
Yes, the region 1 version does exist! The case looked stepped on and at least one of the discs is scratched but that is just a hazard of buying anything through the mail. There really isn't much to say about this set. It has no extras whatsoever. The picture quality seems okay. It is NOT a bootleg and says NBC Universal on the cover and on each disc. It is a three disc set in an typical plastic case. The case is a good one, this one just has damage. There are 23 episodes which we think is all of them. There are 7 or 8 episodes on each disc. It should please any North American Earthworm Jim fan.

Good quality, but no features
The transfer quality is nice, and all of the episodes are here. That's likely the best any EWJ fans are going to get, so I've probably won you over with that. Unfortunately there are no special features whatsoever on these discs. That's a little disappointing as even the old VHS releases of two episodes each had a short production feature. Including those four segments on here would seem to be an easy add-on. Really though, the main draw are the funny, eclectic episodes of this unique series, so it's not a big lose.

Make sure this set comes to into reality
I'm not a fan of Earthworm Jim (though it is starting to gain my interest), but know many out there are and I know how much you've waited for the series to finally hit US DVD, but there is a catch:

[...]

"If you've ever pre-ordered any title, then be certain to pre-order this one, as the State-side distributor for VEI, called Millennium Media Services (MMS...which *used* to be part of First Look Pictures, but isn't any longer, but that's why Amazon's listing currently shows "First Look" as the studio) has a policy that if there aren't enough copies of a title pre-sold to retailers, then MMS won't bother to ship the title to ANY of the sellers who ordered it. This is why so many VEI titles tend to get delayed, or even cancelled, in the USA. We know that our previous story about Earthworm Jim - The Complete Series had a HUGE amount of interest, so hopefully that turns into pre-orders, meaning that everybody can actually get their copies."

So if you're...
