Shout Factory has done the fans right yet again, people. Here's what you need to know about the two releases.
Transformers 25th Anniversary Matrix of Leadership Edition: Collector's Set
• 16 DVDs, with all 98 G1 episodes
• $140 plus shipping and handling
• Available at SDCC or for pre-order here, to be delivered around July 13th
• Includes a ton of extras, plus a collector's book and magnets
G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero Complete Collector's Set
• 17 DVDs with all 95 Sunbow episodes (I'm pretty sure)
• Will come n a footlocker case (you can see a small, lo-res pic here)
• $145, available at SDCC and can also be pre-ordered here (I know it's the Transformers page, but hit the pre-order button and it'll become an option)
• Includes a ton of extras, plus a collector's book and temporary tattoos
That's officially good shit, people. It's not going to get any better than this. (Via TV Shows on DVD)

There has been a better version of the Transformers G1 complete box set for years. And it's like a third of the price.

It's awesome.
Loafy said:
tekkie I'm pretty sure that is a bootleg. And the 5.1 english sound must be the horrible Rhino soundtrack. I'm guessing the rest of that set might be ripped from the very lacking Rhino sets. The packaging is surprisingly nice for a bootleg though.

The only box set that I want is the 'Real Ghostbusters' one. I'm just too much of a tightwad to part with the cash, though. :(

can not wait for both sets always hoped that someone would do both the series and complete gijoe on dvd now the wait is going to be the hard part for their release for the matrix box is going to be fun to mess with

...temporary tattoos? really?
secret agent man said:
Hey, I can confirm that it is indeed the ENTIRE Sunbow Series and... the GI Joe set comes with something else super cool not mentioned there, but I can't say what it is.

these are legit. Chinese, but legit.

That Transformers box set: it must be bought, no matter the cost.
In re: to the Chinese Transformers DVD box set, I've seen it and watched through the entire thing, and it sucks. It's hard to navigate, there are errors, the sound is bad, and sometimes the audio will suddenly not be in English.
Kevin said:
While supplies last? Is this some kind of limited deal? Will the sets be in stores? I'm gonna be peeved if I can't buy these at regular price a few months from now when I can afford them.
Izandra said:
Uhhhhh... should probably start saving up for Comic-con purchase now since I MUST HAVE THESE BOTH.
I do hope the Transformers one has the opening theme I remember... the Rhino one always sounded off to me.

What the fuck, man?
