No that wasn't a typo, after many long years of waiting one of the best underrated series of the 1980's is getting some much needed DVD attention!

I'm talking about one of my favorite shows and toys from back in the day. Yes Jayce & The Wheeled Warriors has had it's first 33 episodes released on DVD!!!!

Here's an auction link, the cheapest BIN I could find

It's also being sold for twice as much on Target.com,

And oh because I know you miss the opening song in all it's 80's cheesy goodness...

Tell me you just didn't watch that a million times.

And for the newer people who are like Stack an Atawha...

Alot of the writers here gave vital imput into Babalon5 and many recent TF series as well!

I can't wait for this to show up, so I can start fiending for VOL2!

I've never seen that particular show before, but I just killed about an hour watching 80's cartoon intros and commercials.

Yeah it was a horrificly wonderful time for animation. I mis those days, as all todays crap is turning more and more into cutsie anime drival.

Realy, how many card game shows do we need?

I got Armed Force for my birthday when I was like 5. I didn't know what the heck he was—but he had big wheels, a giant claw, and switchable guns, so he was totally cool in my book. Still got him, although I think I lost the pilot.

Also, a boxed one in your collection thread caught my eye. I'm assume, Liege, that these toys are rare, yes?

Yes due to the fact they they where released by Mattle who completely mismarketed everything. The toys where already on clearance by time the show even came out.

These were the toys I got when I got toys, the cheap ones. I didn't care though cause the cars where great, you could rip them apart, switch them up, make a giant tower out of them.

Plus you could buy upgrade ATTACK PACKS!

Completely underrated, but alot of fun. Kinda like Go-Bots but with less of a suck factor. I use to rush home everyday as a kid watch Wheeled Warriors, Voltron, Transformers, and GIJoe everyday

As for them being valuable, there are some BIN offers on Ebay that I'd pass on, $60 for an individual loosy. You can bid on a parts lot and make like 5 figs for the same price. So outside of nostalgic value, I'd say they are far from the draw that TFs are.

Still awesome though!

Those were the days. What about Bionic Six, Starblazers, The Rocklords and such. After school cartoons was what it was all about.

Wow, that does look awesome! I missed it because I was born in 1980 and didn't get much into cartoons until 1985.

It showed up today, KICK ASS!!!
