is there enough newer stuff on this compared to the rhino version to justify getting this?

These are the known features:

* Triplechanger: From Toy To Comic To Screen: The Origins Of The Transformers
* Printable Transport to Oblivion Script
* Rare PSAs
* Archival Hasbro toy commercials
* Limited Edition Autobot magnet inside

The first feature is new, and I'd really like to see it.
The second one was on the Rhino season 1 box set.
The third was on one of the Rhino box sets (I think it was a season 3 set)
The fourth could be similar to what was on the Sony G1 movie 25th Anniversary edition DVD
The last one is new, but it's just a magnet.

So the only thing that I think i appealing about this set is the Triplechanger featurette, but that's not enough to make me wanna buy G1 all over again, as I have all the Rhino sets.

I sold all my Rhino sets for about $300, then bot the Chinese complete set for about $75. If the picture and audio are better, it is worth a repurchase for me. Hail G1!

Excellent. I missed out on the Rhino release of Season 1. This will finally complete my English G1 set.

will the PSA's blur out all the kids faces again? i tell ya that was annoying. lol

i'm not sure why they even did it, i mean if its a privacy issue those kids are all in their 20s and 30s by now so not like it matters.

anyway, i too own all the rhino sets so this is pointless for me but least those who never got em have a chance to own the series now. because i think those rhino sets are next to impossible to find nowadays.
