Hi Guys,

I know they released the entire Transformers G1 tin in China. But I don't really want to import and was wondeing if anyone knew if they Rhino planned on re-releasing the season sets in the U.S? I really don't feel like paying an arm and a leg for the OOP sets unless I have to.

Thanks.

No Rhino won't be doing it....I think Sony owns the rights now. And it is any body's guess when that will happen.

Not sure how much you're willing to pay, but the R4 Australian release is awesome.

It's out of stock there, but there are a few on ebay or maybe other sites I don't know of. I paid around $140 for mine, which is pretty good for all the seasons, IMO.

Will the AUS version work with the PS3?

if it is blu-ray yes.

It is not Blu. To my knowledge it will not play in the PS3, only on a region free player. I have an Oppo for that purpose. They are excellent upconverting players as well as being region free.

I sold my R1 sets on Ebay for over $400 last year whehn the awful live action movie came out. I think the price is still up there, so there's no realy way to get them cheap. I beleive you can actually get them cheaper by importing at this point. Of course that's assuming you have a region free player.

same here. sold for $400 on ebay, then bought a PS3. not a bad invsestment back in the day.

I bought the tin on Amazon last summer for $110, but I've seen it as low as $70 on there. It's a great set!

i own the tin set and its awesome i love it... i sold the us version and bought the tin.. when it came out... i say buy the tin.... there are sellers in America selling the tin

Thanks guys but the only DVD players I own are a PS3 and a Toshiba A2. I never went out and purchased a region free player. So I'm kinda stuck unless I spend money on a player and the set or the PS3 gets a region free update.

I thought originally Sony was planning on releasing the sets when the new film launched. Obviously that plan was scrapped. I doubt we'll see these until Transformers 2 is released.

you can order the tin from amazon and it will work on any players as its a region free set.. region 0.........

so you can buy the tin on amazon...... and it will work on your ps3 or home dvd player...
