Back in April, we had two volumes of the X-Men Animated series on DVD and included the first 33 episodes.  (I reviewed them HERE ). Those two DVDs brought us into the third season of the show.  I know there were people wondering when we'd get more.  My fear was we would have to wait some time until the next volume came out.

The good news is it's not too far off.  On September 15, 2009, we will get another two volumes of the show.

The X-Men are back for more nonstop thrills and excitement in Volume 3 of the definitive animated series. Faithfully created from the pages of the original Marvel® comic books, these classic stories are a must-have for any X-Men fan! When the all-powerful Dark Phoenix inhabits the body of Jean Grey, The X-Men go to battle in order to save one of their own. Get into the action with 15 spine-tingling episodes, including the 4-part "Dark Phoenix" saga, in this collectible 2-disc set!

Here's a list of the episodes included on Volume 3:
Disc 1
o Savage Land, Strange Heart (Part 1)
o Savage Land, Strange Heart (Part 2)
o Obsession
o The Dark Phoenix (Part 1)
o The Dark Phoenix (Part 2)

o The Juggernaut Returns
o Nightcrawler

The action reaches all-new heights in Volume 4 of the landmark X-Men animated series. With adventures adapted directly from the original Marvel® comic books, this collection is a rich piece of the X-Men legacy and a must-have for every X-Men fan. The X-Men must join forces with the heroes of the future when Apocalypse, a mighty mutant, is driven completely mad by his powers! Discover the stunning conclusion to the 4-part epic "Beyond Good And Evil" in this sensational 14-episode set.

Here's the episodes on Volume 4:
Disc 1

I loved watching the X Men when I was younger.  Looks like I'll have to go find the first ones so I can get ready for the new ones in September.

So far they've been pretty affordable I just haven't gotten around to getting the first two yet, I probably should. There must be only one more volume after these two are released. Just glad they've sold well enough to keep releasing them, unlike Gargoyles who's remaining episodes might never see the light of day.

Yay! Now I won't have to stream these episodes illegally off the internet...I mean....uh.....I never did that what are you talking about?!

PrinceIMC

Nothing wrong with streaming them if they are unavailable IMO. Now if we could get full seasons of X-Men: Evolution.

@PrinceIMC: Was that the one with the young cyclops and Jean? Or am I thinking of something else?

PrinceIMC

@Babs: Yeah young everybody. Xavier, Wolverine and Storm teaching the rest of the X-Men who attend regular high school. It was underrated. Beast and the New Mutants joined in season 2.

Glad that it's finally coming out on DVD. I think people have actually put all the episodes up on youtube already though.

I loved this show as a kid! This show and the Spider-man cartoon are actually what got me interested in comics in the first place.

The retail is $23.99 U.S. and $29.99 Canada.  That means you should be able to find them cheaper online or in retail stores.

There was a total of 76 episodes!  Maybe one more volume after this?

I can't believe Buena Vista Home Entertainment is going to release episodes on the Volume 3 & 4 DVD's IN THE WRONG ORDER! They should realize that the episodes have a continuity and the order they inted to release Volumes 3 & 4 with MESSES UP THE CONTINUITY! Does anyone know or have some contact information for Buena Vista Home Entertainment? Because I want to inform them about the episode order 

This SHOULD be the correct episode order for Volumes 3 & 4:

X-Men Volume 3
Disk 1
* No Mutant is Island
* Obsession
* Longshot
* Cold Comfort
* Savage Land Savage Heart, Part 1
* Savage Land Savage Heart, Part 2
* Dark Phoenix Saga, Part 1: Dazzled!

Disk 2
* Dark Phoenix Saga, Part 2: Inner Circle
* Dark Phoenix Saga, Part 3: Dark Phoenix
* Dark Phoenix Saga, Part 4: The Fate of Phoenix
* Orphan's End
* Juggernaut Returns
* A Deal with the Devil
* Sanctuary, Part 1
* Sanctuary, Part 2

X-Men Volume 4
Disk 1
* Xavier Remembers
* Courage
* Secrets Not Long Buried
* Nightcrawler
* One Man's Worth, Part 1
* One Man's Worth, Part 2
* Proteus, Part 1
* Proteus, Part 2

Disk 2
* Family Ties
* Bloodlines
* Weapon X, Lies and Videotape
* The Lotus and Steel
* Love in Vain
* Have Yourself a Morlock Christmas

I'll see what I can find out.  It's possible that this was the order they were meant to be aired and FOX Kids tweaked the order to suit their needs.  It happens very often.  Hopefully I can get to the bottom of this.

No Mutant Is an Island is suposed to come right after The Phoenix Saga and show how Cyclops/Scott Summers deals with the apparent loss of Jean Grey. The "tweaked" order is what the press release said the Volumes 3 & 4 would have.
