Re: New G1 dvd is CHEAPER in Canada!

I have the complete Rhino set but I'm still considering the complete series set. My only compliant with the Rhino version is the switched up sound FX but it's tolerable, and they stopped doing it by the third season. Other then that if there were any other changes made I did not notice them.

Yeah you click the pre-order button and it does not go anywhere If you find another place to order this let me know as after looking at the details of this set I think I will get this one and sell off the Rhino ones.

Hey, you're right! Shout's website and Amazon have no listing for it, either!
Did they cancel it?

It's as if all the BotConners told them "Not interested"

Re: New G1 dvd is CHEAPER in Canada!

Weird. Sometimes I press the Preorder button and it opens up a window of only details. Other times it advances to the order form.

Anyway, does anybody know of a Coupon Code? I kinda enjoy saving money.

Re: New G1 dvd is CHEAPER in Canada!

I'm on the fence about getting the matrix set as opposed to the individual seasons.

I like the matrix box, but I really don't care for the magnets since I store my dvd's with my vhs tapes when I have both (ie, I've got the movie next to the rhino releases) and I've got no wish to destroy my tapes because of some 2 dollar magnets. The 60 page booklet might be interesting, but I haven't really heard much about it.

In terms of actual content on the dvd's themselves is there actually any difference between the normal and matrix sets? If it's just some interviews then I'll probably skip it, but if the commercials or hasbro archives are only on the matrix set that would be a big factor for me I think.

The other thing too that bothers me is the price. I's 20-25$ listed for the first season, and the website shows 4 groups of dvds in the box, yet the matrix set is 140$. I realize that it's plausible that the individual sets will number more than 4 for all of G1, but if it doesn't, then that makes the matrix set nearly double the cost of the individual ones.

Lets estimate the cost based on S1 size (# of eps, in turn # of discs)

S1 = 16 eps = 3 dvd's = $25
So our rates are:
5.33 eps per disc
$8.33/disc

S2 = 49 eps = 9.2 = 10 discs = $83.33
S3 = 30 eps = 5.6 = 6 discs = $49.98
S4 = 3 eps = 1 disc = $8.33

Total = 20 discs = $166.64 if sets bought individually

HOWEVER!!! S1 set is being sold for $20 down from 25 = 20% off.
If we apply this discount to all seasons, the discount price should be $133.31 !!

So the Matrix is a little more at $140, but for all the bonuses, is it worth it?
