Has a special feature where you can select any one of the letters on the steering wheel of the Mach5 and Speed provides an explanation of what the button does and then shows a demo of it in action. Pretty cool if you ask me. I hope that this is the 1st installment of more to come.

There are 52 episodes in all, so with 11 per disc... well, four more to go (maybe the last shorter disc could have more features).

The rubber tire cover is pretty nifty, although they put WAY too much glue on mine and it was coming out the sides. I had to heat it with a hair drier and then soak up the excess glue.

But otherwise it's a neat set. I think it could've been better by including the original Japanese language track, and also including some of the cut scenes of Japanese culture from the show (the U.S. versions were edited down to remove Japan-centric shots).

Just to let everyone know, I own both the Limited Edition Boxed Set from Speed Racer.com and I got the Artisan Rubber Tire Disk and I did a comparison.

The Artisan blows the Limited Boxed Set out of the water. The colors are SO MUCH BRIGHTER, the picture is cleaner, and the detail is alot sharper than the boxed set. The only thing that the Artisan disk lacks is great extras that the boxed set has.

The Artisan disk is easily worth triple the amount of money that its going for.

I have yet to watch mine since purchasing it, but this definately makes me feel better about it, since it was a blind buy.
