RPM DVDs Volumes 3 & 4 - 
Don't Count On It


March 6, 2010:

You may recall how on October 16, 2009 I reported that the Disney Store RPM Demo DVD, show an advertisement for the RPM DVD Volumes Three & Four.  These were said to be available exclusively through Amazon.com, though no release date was ever given.  

However, the folks at TVShowsonDVD.com have done some investigating and digging and reported the following:

"Since the first of the year, we've received a number of e-mails from fans, concerned that we haven't brought further word yet about the "advertised" Amazon-exclusive releases of Power Rangers R.P.M. - Volume 3 and Volume 4. Nor has the big e-tailer added any release listings for those titles, and consumer inquires to Amazon have been met with a routine-sounding reply which primarily communicates that "this item isn't currently available at (Amazon's) website."

So we've checked into it further, and found out a couple of things. First, and most importantly, Disney has passed along word to one of our contacts that these titles are "on hold". That's the exact phrase used, which could mean that they are simply delayed, or it could possibly mean that they won't be happening at all; we haven't gotten clear on that. Secondly, and also interesting, the gossip is that perhaps Amazon had no knowledge that their name would be invoked on the sleeve of that promotional disc; our contacts hint that no agreement had been made at that time for such an arrangement (we suppose that this could possibly be part of the reason ABC/Disney put the releases "on hold").

We hate to be the bearer of bad news in passing this along, but right now it almost feels like there needs to be an "undo" button about that info being included on the promotional DVD's sleeve in the first place...as it seems that nothing is likely to be in the cards (at least in the short term). Our recommendation is to hope for the best, but set your expectations for the worst-case scenario right now. We'll keep a Red Ranger eye out for more info about this situation, though, and update you if we find out anything further!"

 

So it looks like there may not be any more RPM DVDs released.  Should anything change or more news develop on this subject, I'll be sure and post it here.
