The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes - Season 1 and 2 for about $16 ea
Playstop.ca (formerly CD Plus) currently has the first season and second season of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (2010-03 animated show) for $17.50 CAN shipped, which works out to about $15.75 based on XE's currency converter. Keep in mind, since it's in CAN, your credit card may charge a foreign transaction fee (mine is 3%, which is still better than my local sales tax)

I can't pass that up even if I have been very strict on myself lately. Every time I see it on Amazon or Ebay, it's going for $30 or more for each one. So, yeah, thanks

Yeah, it seems these sets recently got dropped in price by Canadian retailers. Both seasons are worth watching and infinitely better than what we are getting for the Avengers from Disney at the moment. They do come with possibly the cheapest slipcovers in Blu-ray existence, but these are complete seasons in very good A/V quality.
They will never see a release in the States, so for Americans it is either these sets or nothing at all.

Went ahead and ordered both seasons. Somewhat of a blind buy for me, but reading reviews all over the place, seems like I can't go wrong, and the series has a good lineage of events.

The same reason I have several mis-matched television series packaging, eco-packaging Blu-ray cases, features being left out on Blu-ray releases which were on DVD, etc.
Cost and indifference to the consumer.

Walt Disney Studios controls this property in the United States. They have no interest in releasing it on Blu-ray, it came out from them in a series of exploitative individual volumes on DVD aimed at the children's market.
A different distributor controlled its home video rights in Canada, thankfully.

I guess spending $30+ for the nice uncompssed transfer alone is a judgement call. They are on Netflix and will be for some time given the Disney contract. I'm tempted to bite just for the collecting aspect, but 30 bucks buys a lot of gas. Or at least a tank.

On blu, sure, but no special features, right?

Sometimes S1 will show in the browser...and sometimes not. I had to do a search for it, then add it to my cart. Could be sold out though.

Looking within my account, these two titles (and my order) are back-ordered.
UPDATE: Order changed to In-Process. Hope it's shipping soon!

The first one is now showing, "In stock" on the website so I thought I'd give it a shot. Hopefully they'll show up one day.

I just checked my account and my order is listed as "shipped".... but I didn't get an email and there's no tracking number or ship date on my account, so I guess we'll see.......

I received Season 2 late last week, and my Season 1 does say shipped, so hopefully it will appear this week. Interestingly, Season 2 arrived in a padded envelope from VA, so I'm guessing they have a distribution warehouse in the states.

Same here: got a padded envelope from VA. today. But I only got season 1, so still waiting for season 2.

Both mine still says "in process" so who knows what's up? I'm not expecting to get it. They cancelled it last time I ordered from them.

I ordered mine from Amazon.ca. Do they ship to the US? I know Amazon.com has no problems shipping up here.

Yes, Amazon.ca will ship to the US, but the shipping costs are pretty high as I recall.

Yea, that's something I always thought was funny, shipping is cheaper from Amazon UK than Amazon.ca to the US.

Haven't received my shipment yet. Dang it.
EDIT: Received S2 today.

I've always thought they did that as a soft form of protectionism, so the sites wouldn't compete with each other on price. Amazon.ca uses much different pricing algorithms than the original Amazon. I think they were afraid that American customers would scoop up most of the loss leaders and sales ran on Amazon.ca.
