Allow me to take a shot at this Johnny and come up with a post that addresses both of ours. Brian is fairly good about responding to peoples posts, so long as they are respectable and don't demand private information about the company or its business model. I feel that if we come up with well thought out questions that took us time to write, he will provide us with the same courtesy.

Brian, your post above suggests that Shout has in store for us the final volume of Sonic Underground as well as "possibly" another volume of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Based on my interpretation of your "tone" on your post and from reading previous posts, you have hinted that wrapping up Sonic Underground would not be as difficult as other Shout TV shows, since it would only require another volume of 2o episodes to conclude that series.

AoSTH, like Cops falls into that category where there are A LOT of episodes, 60+ and that releasing a single massive 8 - 12 disc box set wouldn't be practical. As Jonny mentioned, future volumes of AoSTH were dependant on how strong sales were on the first volume (and Super Mario Bros 3/Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog combo). Understandably it’s none of our business how many units were sold of the first volume and combo pack, but you had hinted that a second volume could be on the horizon. Without any sales data to backup my thoughts, my concern was that AoSTH would make it to a second volume, but because Volume 1 was only a moderate success, Volume 2 would fall short of financial expectations, this killing any chance of a Volume 3. In this scenario, Volume 3 would only be produced to appease fans, but at a financial loss to the company. Making money is the name of the game, and no company would take a hit just to please its fans.

It still sounds like there could be a chance that AoSTH fans could be left with an incomplete series, even if Volume 2 does make it to store shelves. I am not expecting you to say "Don't worry fellow AoSTH fans, if we make it to two, we will definitely go for three". Would it be impractical for the second volume of AoSTH to contain the remaining 40+ episodes? I would also like to gingerly ask if it would be impractical for shout to produce limited edition DVD's (of Cops, Carmine and Sonic) that were sold exclusively on the Shout website and limited to 3000 units (Similar to Varese Sarabade)?

Naturally I understand that the most practical answer is going to be a lets wait and see what develops over the next couple months, but thank you ahead of time for any information you can provide and for keeping us fans in the loop.
