Transformers: The Headmasters DVD Release

[Abnormal Freak]

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

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!

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

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

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.

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?

[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/Bea...#ixzz1TFaMxgGi

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).

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