Cool news-I have the UK version of the entire original Transformers series, and it's neat to see the old episodes:) http://www.dvd.co.uk/DVD/Transformers-The-Complete-Boxset/MTD5267/product.htm. Not sure if it has the commercials, but it's exciting to see some additional retro releases!

I picked up the first run of GI Joe S1P1 like 5 years ago, but S1P2 and S2 went OOP before I could buy them! 'Bout freaking time!!!!

[Frosty The Batman]

I don't own any of those old releases. I'll be buying all these ASAP.
Thanks for the info!

[HeadRusch]

Morons! I Have Morons On My Payroll!!!

24.98 retail? I would have to pick them up at that price.

[dg7md]

Nice, I look forward to the Joe set.

[mtxbass1]

Original Hasbro commercials you say? Sold.

[ITDEFX]

But will this be any different from the original transformers release ? Same picture quality, same extras? Honestly I would have liked if they gave us the Headmaster's series dubbed or sub titled. Been waiting to see the Soundwave vs Blaster fight for years!! As for GI JOE, yep still have that season 1 part 1 box set..never finished it :| even like 5 years later. So yea it would be nice to one day complete the collection.

[LinkinPrime]

I second the wish on the Headmasters :-(

[ITDEFX]

but seriously is this the same as the first release only cheaper? It would be nice to get my 6 year old nephew hooked on G1, but hell no I am not giving him my 40 dollar season box sets :bomb: 25 is good.

Hopefully the release of these dvds will lower the collectors prices on ebay of the original release.

Hopefully the release of these dvds will lower the collectors prices on ebay of the original release.

It certaintly will, that is what happened with Twin Peak Season 1 sets after the gold box complete series came out. And this release sounds like it might actually be better than the original in terms of content.

[Burchamj]

maybe i should sell my old copies now..

Might be interested in dumping mine while I can.

thanks for the heads op nice to see transformers back again i just hope they release season 3 part 2 cause thats the last one im missing

[deszaras]

That's awesome news. I have the full Transformers G1 run but I didn't get G.I. Joe in time. I'd really love to have the Headmasters, Masterforce and Victory(especially this one) released here.

[squishface]

Nice, cuz I didn't get to finish my collection of the first Transformers G1 set. I'm missing the last set. Now I can start my GI joe collection .... After I get some money lol

[CoffeeEdge]

So is this new set of Transformers DVDs going to NOT have the shitty new sound effects like the last ones did?

[ITDEFX]

NAH...I think they will keep the TIE Fighter/Imperial Shuttle fly by sound effects :) Yea when I first heard the new sound effects, I was like huh?!?!? I don't remember that.
