I recently got TMNT: Volumes 3, 4, and 5. Here is my Volume 3 review.
NOTE: Volume 3 is the first part of the third season. Volume's 4, 5, and 6 are also all parts of the third season.

Overall, in the DVD order, the episodes for the most part are best in the middle of the set. There are some absolute classic episodes in this section of the season. As you can see, 7 of the 12 are "Volume Greats", and rightfully so. If you're a fan of the show, this volume is a must buy - no doubt.
4.5/5
