Info 1502: Tom Turbo - DVDs, books, CD

Before I post 2 more posts f/m and upgrading this to rating 7, some infos about the books, DVDs and audio books.

DVDs:
Next to a DVD of the feature film, there are obviously only 3 DVDs of the series with 3 non-notable episodes each.

Books:
The main series (1993-2001) consists of 38 books (OOP). I have seen some samples. The books are rather picture books (full page illustrations in color with rather few, large texts over them). Main characters (next to the bike Tom) are a boy and a girl. And some of the villains. I haven't found any notable episode as book.
One color illustration of a girl in dark red bibs in book Das Millionen-Meerschweinchen.

There are also at least 5 books "Ratekrimis" (1998) maybe of interest and some special books like

"Die goldene Fan-Edition" 3 books: Der Wolf mit dem Goldzahn, Der fliegende Wikinger, Die Gespensterschule.

"Detektive- bleibt auf der Spur" 20 Jahre Tom Turbo im TV with photos of the series (ep 1 Spuk im Museum, ep 100 Der goldene Greif, ep 139 Der Ball der Vampire)

"Immer auf der Heißen Spur", 25 Jahre Sonderband.

There are also some re-releases (compilations ?) Turbotolle Leseabenteuer?,


A new spin-off book series about the villain is Fritz Fantom (2020). Even more like a picture book and fewer texts. As Fratz Fantom is the nephew some books might be of interest. Currently 3 books.

A similar series (same author) is "Die Knickerbocker-Bande" (I also have a post of this TV series and movie). Some books also have "heiße Spuren" as subtitle.

Cassettes/Audio CDs:
There are at least 15 audio books, read by Brezina himself and some more voices. Available on YouTube. I have heard some. No notable known.

Merchandise:
There are more merchandises, like a board game. And a treasure chest (book ?).

Conclusion: All media are not of interest. Only the series. The new and upcoming (re)broadcastings are widescreen, so better quality but cropped top and bottom. Update: Some early books have much more than one case (up to 8), see update 5, but probably none of interest.
