Not really. I think up here, the second season of Legion of Super-Heroes was never released.

Same here plus we didn't get the first season in one package, just three separate volumes.

That does happen here too. Thing is, it depends on the distribution agreements per country and what they can handle. Most retailers are more likely to order animated series chopped up then in a one shot box for each season. Quicker turn around in money for them.

Think of it like discographies for bands. Would you prefer to buy a discography or just an album of best hits? Sort of the same thing from a money sense for animated series. Limited market, make it a quick turn around. This stuff all has a limited shelf life too. Buying any box sets of Batman?

hehe... So what did you get so far? I haven't been following the product that closely, but I looked in one of the books and there are apparently dragons which looked cool.

Really, i think next to the Star War line of Lego Ninjago is his favorite. He has quite a bit of them and had one of the Dragons, the white one. They are really well done sets, but the spinning 'game' aspect to it is not so great. I keep on spinning too hard and the mini-fig fly's off the base. What I want from the Ninjago set is the pirate ship which looks really cool. Though right now I'm waiting for the MU line to come up in a month or two, that is when it will start to get expensive.

Iron Man Goes Digital With Sci-Fi Novelist John Shirley

Since its launch in 2009, the animated series “Iron Man: Armored Adventures” has excelled in part because of its cutting edge 3D CGI style that matches the bleeding edge technology created by Tony Stark. But when the show’s creators dreamt up a face-off between Stark and a mind-controlling villain in a “Matrix”-like digital realm, they reached out for a unique vantage point to get it right: sci-fi novelist John Shirley. Shirley is best known as one of the forefathers of the cyberpunk movement, with critic Larry McCaffery calling him “a postmodern Edgar Allen Poe.” So long-time fan and “Iron Man: Armored Adventures” Story Editor Brandon Auman knew just who to contact when this special episode, titled “CONTROL-ALT-DELETE,” first developed.

“This episode is best described as cyberpunk meets the super hero adventure story,” Shirley describes. “I was one of the original cyberpunk writers, along with Bruce Sterling and Rudy Rucker and Pat Cadigan and William Gibson, and Brandon Auman, who hired me, is a fan of that subgenre, and he wanted something along those lines.”

The key component of this episode, which airs Wednesday, March 28 at 8:30 p.m. ET on Nicktoons, is a virtual reality world, the type that Shirley and his cyberpunk contemporaries developed in their prose fiction back in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s.
