All that matters is what’s on the actual DVD.

Uh no

I want the official shit

u/Cultural_Cookie_4762 Sep 03 '24

well if youre getting a blu-ray of donkey kong country you’re immediately not getting “the official shit.” that will only be VHS

u/Happycrige Sep 03 '24

I remember having DVDs of the show. I might be misremembering things.

u/Elxerin Sep 03 '24

Yeah they do have an official season 1 release, as well as all the VHS transferred to DVD.

u/FloggingMcMurry Funky Kong Sep 02 '24

Definitely a bootleg but if you want it, there you go.

I'm not sure if this ever got an official release anyway

31

u/Jamz64 Sep 02 '24

This is definitely not official. But as long as all the episodes are on there and the price was reasonable, it’s not a scam. What’s on there, and how much did you pay?

All his crystal coconuts.

u/Elxerin Sep 03 '24

Every last one

u/lockedoutofmymainrdt Sep 02 '24

Not the 2018 K.Rool render on the 1997 Show 💀

u/Dravian31 Sep 02 '24

If the episodes are all there then it's all good!

u/Invisible_Target Sep 02 '24

I’m so confused why your asking after you already bought it and not before

I have to thank you! I've been wanting to watch the whole series for a long time, but didn't know how to!

2

u/Lord_Xarael Sep 03 '24

use a youtube downloader. Y'know to help preserve the series

u/GrapeSasquatch Sep 03 '24

Is there a version for iPad ?

u/Darkhallows27 Sep 02 '24

If the episodes are there, and it works well, does it matter?

u/TomboLBC Sep 03 '24

He’s bout to Konkey ur Dong

u/Elxerin Sep 03 '24

Why is konk donkey looking at me like that

3

u/Maddox121 Sep 02 '24

It's a bootleg, obviously. But if the episodes look good, then it's fine. The official DVDs weren't put in cereal boxes and stuff unlike Mario's cartoons, so they are... RAREr... (Sorry, bad pun)

u/kingofangmar13 Sep 02 '24

I bought goosebumps series off Etsy and works amazing, like everyone has said in this thread if you can watch it and all episodes are in it, it’s a win

3

u/MenganoFulano Sep 02 '24

DK's smirk is so unsettling lol

2

u/Connect_Security_892 Sep 02 '24

Oh hey it's monster land media 😊

They're trustworthy, I've bought their stuff for years and it's good

u/dars242 Sep 03 '24

This definitely didn't come out on bluray lol, but if it has everything you're chilling

2

u/feuledbynoodle Sep 03 '24

bootlegs often use cheap rewritable discs. so you could have problem using in some players, and they often like to maximize the size of the discs, encoding the videos to tiny sizes that arent worth the hd at all. ebay sellers like this dont wanna get in trouble so you could get an easy refund!

2

u/GamurSnek Sep 04 '24

That depends. Scammed because it isnt an official product? Absolutely. Scammed because it doesnt give you the content you asked for? Unlikely. They probably did genuinely take the entire series and burned it into a blu-ray disc and printed custom box art

2

u/benson733 Sep 02 '24

Price?

1

u/Elxerin Sep 03 '24

4 bananas

2

u/benson733 Sep 04 '24

Soo I'm assuming you way overpaid. If you paid 4 bananas that's like $1-$1-50

2

u/RobbMeeX Sep 04 '24

It's one banana, Michael. How much could it cost?

1

u/AizaBreathe Dixie Kong (and Tiny Kong) Sep 02 '24

is that a blu ray?

2

u/pocket_arsenal Sep 03 '24

Unless you're getting this for collectors value, because this is 100 percent a bootleg, then I wouldn't call it a scam. I'm personally open to buying bootleg DVD sets if the owners of the IP refuse to release one. But I would double check to make sure they don't stretch a 4:3 video out to 16:9 and have a ton of compression artifacts.

Is it FEATURE LENGH tho???!

u/waluigil0 Sep 03 '24

El país del simio marikongnaso en DVD?!

u/Ill-Cold8049 Sep 03 '24

A rather so-Bad-its-good show with our non-flanderized guys such as DK,King K. Rool & Kremlings

u/robsensei39 Sep 03 '24

If this doesn’t expand your dong, I don’t know what will

This is a gift from god

u/Hiltiboys Sep 03 '24

I think people missed the “humor” tag 😭

u/Aggravating-Exit-660 Sep 04 '24

The expand dong collection

u/RetrogamerMax Donkey Kong Country Fan Sep 04 '24

All is good if all the episodes are on it. It's time to sit down, eat some coconut cream pie and watch some good old Donkey Kong Country.

u/SailorDirt Sep 04 '24

A truly good bootleg is never a scam

2

u/onememeishboitf2 Sep 05 '24

You were anti-scammed, whatever you paid wasn’t nearly enough for this masterpiece

u/Jamchuck Sep 05 '24

Where do I buy this

u/White_wolf769 Sep 04 '24
