I would imagine most of us have the Rhino set already. Wouldn't think the extras are worth the cash (especially the Furman comic and a BW episode on a G1 movie). Really, marketing decisions often make no sense to me. Even now, I see TONS of the G1 movie sitting on shelves, goin' nowhere.

Sadly, I only bought 1st season and 2nd season part 1. All of them now go for quite a bit on ebay-$100. There is a official Hong Kong complete series that goes for like $70, but I really hope they do a US G1 Complete Set in the future.
