@ Seth Rex, I agree it would be nice for both shows to get released on DVD. It is stunning to me, that the second release of The Real Ghostbusters that Sony released themselves is missing episodes and the Time Life set has all 140 episodes. I really hope that Extreme Ghostbusters gets a release soon, it is one of many cartoons that I would love to see released in full.
I am also surprised there hasn’t been a US or UK release of RGB this year, but I would highly recommend the German release which has been out for a couples of years now, since it has English language on it and I believe its the best quality transfer so far.
The only thing missing are the extra’s from the Time Life set, which to be honest can be found online these days anyway.
Does the German edition have the original Tahiti music in all episodes? Such as Knock Knock, which was a later-broadcast copy, and had the Ghostbusters theme replacing “The Boogieman”? Does it also have the annoying inclusion of the commercial bumpers?
By chance, I happened to be making a list of which episodes on this set feature the original or changed music last week:
Knock Knock, Venkman’s Ghost Repellers and A Flight at the Opera, does not have the original Tahiti music.
The Bird of Kildarby **does **have the original Tahiti music.
I am trying to see if I can collect all versions of the changed music episodes. Knock Knock and Ghost Repellers on the Adventures in Slime and Space region 2 DVD have the Tahiti music, which I also own, so I really only need to find/buy whatever Region DVD has A Fright At The Opera with the Tahiti track and then Bird of Kildarby with the changed music.
On a side note, i also need to find the original voice version of ‘Slimer, is that you?’ as for some reason this set uses the Dave Coulier/Kath Soucie version. :sigh:
Cheers for the info, Waffle. 
Sounds like the German set and the Time Life ones may’ve used similar sources for their episodes.
Forgot to mention the German release doesn’t have the commercial bumpers from the Time Life set
A small consolation for the other missing bits.
In truth, I don’t hate them… But having watched The Real Ghostbusters on Citv in the U.K., they never had ad breaks… I just feel they should’ve been included as content on the extra feature disc, rather than in the main presentation… They sorta spoil the flow of the episodes
LOL I can see where your coming from there. I enjoy the bumpers though. Probably because apart from the actual commercials, it feels exactly the way I use to watch them as a kid.
Anyone else picked up the German blu-ray set recently? I’m considering pulling the trigger. Just so I’m caught up, the set has menu and packaging in German with German and English audio, no commercial bumpers but all episodes complete with original intros, title cards and credits?
Total shipped cost around $45?
That’s correct. Go ahead and buy it if you like. It can also play in any blu ray play that can play PAL region. It works on every blu ray player in the house I have except one. It’s a geat purchase if you want all the episodes but don’t care about special features or don’t have 1000 bucks to spend on the out of print boxed set.
My set arrived! Way quicker than Amazon’s delivery estimate. Discs work in my PS4 but not my standalone 4K player. Video looks great though I did notice a slight frame speed up every once in a while. Likely from PAL playback format conversion or something. Hardly noticeable unless you’re up close and watching for it.
The German Blu-Ray set is getting re-released next week.
The new set is cheaper, and instead of coming in a “mediabook” sort of packaging, it will come in a regular Blu-Ray case.
I already confirmed with the label, these are the same discs as before:

It seems the cheaper re-release of the German blu-ray set was delayed until January 17, 2020:

Just a quick heads up, Amazon’s American site has the Region 2 Blu Ray from Germany of The Real Ghostbusters:Amazon.com

Someone asked me if I had this yet I said no. Asked me if I wanted it. Getting it in a few days from them as birthday gift the bluray version.
Apparently the German blurays have every episode only reason it lists less are two partners are edited together a review says. Can’t wait!!
Recently I got a new Region Free Blu Ray player and I screened my copy of the Real Ghostbusters on Blu Ray. The picture quality is really good and the sound is decent as well. I even listened to part of the episode Citizen Ghost in German and the voice actors for the German dub are incredible, they really do a great job capturing the spirt of the characters.
I am glad that I got this set so I can save on the wear and tear of the Time Life DVD’s.
