ZimFreak Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 To all the fans of the TV series “Invader Zim,†if you live in Australia and are looking for the DVD box sets of the episodes but don’t want to import them from America or you simple don’t have a Multi-region DVD player then there may be a way we can get them released in Australia. Send an email to this email address: [email protected] request that you are looking for the Invader Zim DVD Box Sets in Region 4 format but can’t find them anywhere (alternatively, you can come up with a different email that expresses interest in them). As you may have guessed, this email address belongs to EzyDVD (ezydvd.com.au) who are one of Australia’s biggest DVD stores. I have already sent a well-worded email to them asking for them to contact their suppliers in an attempt to get the box sets released in Australia and they replied telling me they have forwarded on my request to them (It’s debatable if this is true or not). However, we need to show them that there is a market for the Invader Zim DVDs because if they fail to see an open market, they will of course, not release the DVD box sets here. That is why I beg of you to all email that email address and show them that there really is a fan base out there just like I stated in the email I sent them. Now, I understand that there will be some of you who are NOT from Australia and live in other parts of the world. Let me tell you this, if they release the box sets here in Australia, then there will be a good chance of them getting released elsewhere. However, once more this will depend on two main factors: 1) How many people request the box sets 2) How well the box sets sell. As for you Americans that already have the DVD box set, please show sympathy for those of us who have yet to get the box sets. For those of you that have no idea what Invader Zim is, I request that you visit the following sites to get a better understanding of the show. 1) answers.com/topic/invader-zim?method=22 : This site will give you a basic outline of what the show is/was about. 2) answers.com/topic/invader-zim-dvd-collection?method=22 : Same site but gives you more info about the DVD box sets. 3) thescarymonkeyshow.com : This website has transcripts of every single episode ever made including the ones that never aired on TV! 4) roomwithamoose.com : This website is a fan-based website including fan art, Invader Zim mouse cruisers and even video clips from the show! 5) siberkat.com/zimarch.html : This site contains various quotes available for download in .wav file format. Just download a few and you will start to see the uniqueness that Invader Zim provided viewers. I thank you for taking the time to read this and hopefully have convinced you to email EzyDVD. Also, pass this message on to other forum rooms you go to, family members and friends. Remember, we will not get the DVD box sets if we don’t try.
The3rdChildren Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 I'm a huge Zim fan, but I think the likelihood of these DVDs making their way to the UK or Australia is fairly unlikely. Good cause but your time would be better spent importing them from the US. There really is virtually no market for them in PAL regions.
Kurtle Squad Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 It'll never happen, which sucks. Invader Zim is one of the best cartoons on the planet and Nickelodeon killed something amazing due to their lack of letting people be creative, now they're just left with complete shite like the rest of the chanels these days. If Zim had survived, then it'd probably have become PAL.
Fields Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 1) answers.com/topic/invader-zim?method=22 : This site will give you a basic outline of what the show is/was about. Just read it and it sounds lame.
Rick Dangerous Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Just read it and it sounds lame. How about you watch it before you pass judgement? Most episodes are winners but here are some of my favourites Bad Bad Rubber piggy, Germs and Parent Teacher Night Why not ask for muti region dvd? Then both fans in europe and australia can be happy.
ZimFreak Posted March 21, 2006 Author Posted March 21, 2006 How about you watch it before you pass judgement? I agree, watch the show before passing judgement. Invader Zim is something that only works if you watch an episode on TV. It may have a weird sense of humor to begin with, but once you get to know the characters a little, you'll love most of the episodes. One of my fave quotes from the series is: "Squid-Man assist me!" from the "Gir Goes Crazy and Stuff" episode. But there are heaps more funny quotes, many of which aren't even on the siberkat.com/zimarch.html website.
The3rdChildren Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Fieldsofanfieldroad is a bit of a prick anyway, so you'd do well to just ignore him.
