But really don't get this. Why release the complete series box set before the rest of the individual season sets? Wouldn't it make more sense for this to come after all the individual season releases come out, instead of between seasons one and two?

Season 1 had the same errors as the Rhino release. I "heard" that this version correct those problems and removed the extra sound effects Rhino threw in.

I bought the shout factory season 1 G1 a week or so ago and I loved it.. I'm thinking about investing in this set. I did find some errors in the shout factory edition, a few misplaced characters and certain characters in the same scene twice.. I didn't notice any audio problems though, just visual..

I was surprised to see this box set reach my place today, as I had just been emailed about it from Shout! Factory's checkout system yesterday (and I saw the charges hit my bank account accordingly).

Well, though I've only gotten a chance to check it out briefly, I have to say, I went RIGHT to "Heavy Metal War" and I much like Shout!'s treatment of the episode. It looks closer to what I remember dubbing from F.H.E. VHS cassettes, recording in "edited" form from the Sci-Fi Channel in the '90s and what have you.

There are NO Rhino "extra" sound effects, but what is there sounds a little quiet to what I'm used to (must be the sound set up).

The box itself is neat. I might go ahead and sell my Rhino DVD sets on eBay soon to make room for this, because this, from the little bit I've gotten to tinker with, is top notch.

Kudos!

How much is the set?

$140 for the complete series.

I watched most of the bonus material (is that exclusive to this set?) ... and man, LMAO.

I love all the "meta" talk about how Transformers came about, the voice actor session was the BEST part of it all.

Budiansky running down all he had done, and how he came to learn of the Transformers fanbase was great, too.

Really enjoyed that part of the set.

Got mine the other day and in between busy periods I've had time to watch MTMTE in parts. Quick impressions are that the transformation sequences seem to be faster sometimes than I remember them being, and the picture quality definitely seems better on the whole.

Quints should not be watching this program. Too biased.

So...Is this available in stores or just online?
