Yeah, but sadly these sets are of lackluster quality in many cases. Certain episodes (that escape me atm) are sourced from poorly done PAL-NTSC conversions that suffer from copious ghosting. I've even been told some suffer from the audio speed-up as well, but I never noticed that myself.

A bare-bones release that I'm happy exists, but wish that they'd put something more into it.

I would still really like love to see a well done release of all of the seasons in their entirety. Another great show that so many people were massive fans of, and even non-comic fans enjoyed as children. Why has such a huge franchise been left to linger in the attic, covered with dust and unloved. Especially with the revival popularity of the MCU these days, you would think Fox would relent and try to snag some of those dollars too. The base is out there, just give us a proper treatment already. [Nice packaging and proper episode order would just be a bonus at this point.]

Anywhow, does anyone know if this, or any other similar restoration project is still on the go somewhere? The TV rips aren't great, and piecing together the series on DVD is difficult and not really much of a payoff either due to the lacklustre quality.

I would be surprised if Disney hasn't acquired 100% of the rights to X-MEN TAS by now (part through buying Saban Entertainment, the other part through buying Marvel)... There oughtn't be any issues holding up a proper release other than, well, the Rat being the Rat...
