One release that completely slipped under my radar last week was Shout! Factory's release of Hey Arnold! The Complete Series on DVD, a release completely exclusive to Walmart. I had picked up their release of Rocko's Modern Life The Complete Series last year, which they did a great job on, so picking up Hey Arnold! was a no brainer.
For less than $20, you get all 99 episodes spread across 16 discs, adding up to a whopping 38 hours of mid-to-late-90s bliss. The only thing it's missing is the 2002 feature length movie, Hey Arnold! The Movie, though that's not too big of a deal, as it can be picked up for relatively cheap.
The set is housed in a cardboard sleeve. Inside you'll find two over-sized DVD cases, each containing 8 discs. The interior of the cases shows off the episode listings for each disc, as well as some promotional art. Each disc also shows off character art (one character per disc) and running time (though no episode listings; you'll have to refer to the cases).
Check out these pictures of the set:
While a few special features would have been more than welcome... there are none. But, for the price, and the sheer amount of content in this release, I think we'll let it slide, especially since this release is much better than the previous burn-on-demand season releases.
Unfortunately, Walmart.com is sold out, and second-party sellers online are jacking the prices up. If you want to pick up a copy, your best bet would be to check your local Walmart locations; the odds of finding a copy still on store shelves are slim, but you might get lucky. Prices on eBay are ranging anywhere from $45 and up.
