I'll wait to see what special features it might have. I've already got the Rhino release, but I might not mind owning this new one if it has its own special features.

[TheCanadiandrome]

yeah more updates before release should hopefully come. i don't have the Rhino releases so i'll be picking this up

[TheCanadiandrome]

i know! it totally looks awesome! can't wait to own it, along with Beast Wars.

i'd like to get the Beast Wars Complete series but right now that's not going to be available outside of Shout's site

I decided I'll definitely get that, but hopefully it won't be a site exclusive. I've got the Beast Wars season sets that Rhino released, but I could just give up their copies of the second and third season since their special features are just so-so. Though hopefully the two interviews that are on the Rhino release of the first season set are also on Shout! Factory's complete series release, and I can sell my Rhino version of the first season too.

All three Japanese series to be included in a 13-disc set (http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Transformers-Headmasters-The-Complete-Japanese-Transformers-Collection/15290)...

sweetness! i'll be gettin this

[Abnormal Freak]

Y'gotta love Shout! and the way they release complete series at the same time they release the first one or two individual DVDs. Give people that choice right away rather than making them wait—I love it. Bought the Transformers Matrix box, just gotta get around to watching the show now.

I'll likely pick up this Japanese box also, for completist's sake.

Twentieth Century Fox did the same thing with Ally McBeal. They put out the first season set and a complete series box set on the same date, and then did the rest of the individual season sets later. They're the only studio other than Shout! Factory that has done that sort of thing, to my knowledge.

I think it's cool that Shout! Factory is putting out the complete Japanese Transformers G1 series in one set. The people who'd want Scramble City and Transformers: Zone would be disappointed though. They were both OVAs, so hopefully both of them will at least be included as a part of the special features.

[TheCanadiandrome]

yeah totally. can't wait

[Abnormal Freak]

Egad, I just ordered the complete Japanese and Beast Wars sets. God help me.

[Logan]

You have no idea how happy this makes me! I was afraid I'd have to burn bootlegged, fan-subbed Headmasters episodes on DVD. Never thought they would be brought to the US. YAY!

[TheCanadiandrome]

Egad, I just ordered the complete Japanese and Beast Wars sets. God help me.

too bad those buggers at SHOUT won't ship to me in Canada, otherwise i'd order the complete sets too.

[gobo]

If ya need some assistance ordering from Shout!, I'll be your go-between. ^_^Hunt around for your cheapest options for the sets you can get elsewhere, then I'll tell you if I can get it to you cheaper.

[Brodie]

How do you do that?

I've been pretty lucky with my Shout! releases...Both Reboot sets for about $13 a piece.

well i did find Beast Wars Transformers: The Complete Series on Amazon & Transformers Japanese Collection: Headmasters on Amazon. but didn't find
The Complete Japanese Transformers Collection on Amazon

[gobo]

That'll likely be a Shout.com exclusive until they repackage the other two series for retail. Question is: do you wanna wait for that to happen? It'll probably be easier on your wallet.

[Abnormal Freak]

Shout have pushed the release on the Japanese collection back by eight to ten weeks for reasons of quality control, and they canceled all existing orders. They said they'll send out an email to those who pre-ordered with a date when the DVD set will be available for pre-order again. Pah!

I hope they'll allow me at this point to cancel my Beast Wars order... I ordered both at the same time to save on shipping. $8 for one item, but only a dollar more for a second item. If they send me Beast Wars and I have to order the Japanese collection later, that's a whole lotta money to be paying on shipping.

not sure i gots a choice dude

[Abnormal Freak]

Son of a gun. I emailed them immediately after I was notified that my order for the Japanese collection was canceled, telling them that I'd like to cancel Beast Wars, but they email me today saying it's already shipped. Said I can refuse delivery and get a full refund once they've received it, but asses...I might as well just keep it since I'll be getting it eventually.

[Brodie]

What exactly is the Japanese Collection? I'm googling it, and only getting info on "The Japanese Collection: Headmasters," which I know of. But the Japanese Collection is something different, yeah?

Nevermind...The problem was searching for Japanese Collection, and not Takara Collection.

[gobo]

The Japanese Collection is all three Japanese TV series. Only Headmasters will be retail at street date. No word on the OVAs yet.

Not bad for someone who never saw a TF program he liked until Bayformers 1, huh? :P

[Abnormal Freak]

Your interest in and knowledge on this subject is baffling, gobo, considering your dislike for Transformers. ;)

I wonder if Shout will be including the OVAs what with the set being pushed back a couple months. Dooouuubtful, but that would be really cool.

Beast Wars: Transformers - General Retail Release Date Revealed for 'The Complete Series'


Taken from: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Beast-Wars-Transformers-The-Complete-Series/15719#ixzz1TFaMxgGi

[gobo]

Still not certain why I follow this topic, but allow me to self-analyze. I've always loved Transformer toys. So, naturally, I thought I'd like the show. Gave G1/MtMtE several opportunities to entertain me, but its lack of thematic diversity/variety never was able to hold my interest. Every TFs series I saw since was almost equally as pidgeon-holed. So, I guess you could say, since this is mainly for the hardcores, I wanna give it equal opportunity to entertain me in hopes that I can ever see what others find so interesting about the cartoons.

This self-reflection comes with an open invitation for anyone to assign me some 'best of' rental viewing (as I may very well have just always had the misfortune to catch the lamest of eps).

Beast Wars: Transformers - General Retail Release Date Confirmed for 'The Complete Series'
Shout!'s silvery set will be at a participating store near you in early November

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Beast-Wars-Transformers-The-Complete-Series/15770

[Abnormal Freak]

I'm happy it's getting a general release, but kinda pissed I already bought it at MSRP through Shout. :\

[Storm Eagle]

I haven't bought Transformers Headmasters yet, but Blockbuster Online is offering it for rental. I've been renting the discs, and the one annoying thing about it is the subtitles. They're white, and they pretty much blend in with the picture, making them a bit hard to read. Sometimes I have this problem where the subtitles pass before I can read them all, and I have to rewind to get what I had missed.

[TheCanadiandrome]

well it's good news for me, otherwise i'd have to go about other means to get it

[Abnormal Freak]

I prefer white subtitles...unless you mean white letters with no black borders/shadows. Those are always a pain. :p

[Storm Eagle]

They do have black borders, but they're quite thin, and so are the subtitles themselves.

I've watched DVDs with white subtitles that stand out much better, so they didn't do too good a job with this set. Hopefully they'll make some improvements with Supergod Masterforce and Victory when they release those.

[Abnormal Freak]

The complete collection is finally back up for pre-order.

http://www.shoutfactorystore.com/prod.aspx?pfid=5257431

Limited time lithograph and $10 discount.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Wonder if I could order it

[Abnormal Freak]

Dunno if anyone but me has gotten this set, but I just got an email from Shout stating they're sending out two replacement discs for those who ordered through them. I guess there were goofed up subtitles, so anyone who didn't order through Shout or didn't get the email should contact them if they want the replacements.

[Logan]

I noticed an occasional typo in the subtitles when I watched, but nothing that bugged me a whole lot.

[TheCanadiandrome]

i still ain't go this yet, but soon

[Abnormal Freak]

I still haven't gotten around to it myself, since I'd prefer to watch all of the US series first (which I'm very slowly making my way through, along with the Fred Wolf and 4Kids Turtles shows), but the overall package looks pretty neat, and I'm happy to see Shout fix some errors even if they are minor. If it's just a few typos and spelling errors, that's really no cause to spend money on printing replacement discs, but hey, if that's what they wanna do...

[TheCanadiandrome]

Typos aren't a big whoop to me really, I ain't been watching for the subtitles
