Time for me to hit Ebay and sell all my Transformer Rhino sets.

This is awesome news!

What about the 2 mini-series and movie? I would think the Complete Series release would have those, but I didn't see any info. Did I miss something?

What exactly does "Complete G.I. JOE series" mean? How many seasons will that include, and when would it be released - August? If they are only releasing part of season 1 in July, when are they releasing the other parts?

I tossed all of my GI Joe and Transformers sets on eBay yesterday. However, I held on to the mini series set. Not sure if it is included and it is also the one with the Snake Eyes toy so I'm keeping it regardless.

I am in for the GI Joe series set. Curious to see what it includes, as I already have the movie as well as the miniseries with the snake eyes figure you mentioned. I will most likely hold on to my transformers set, unless soemthing earth shattering comes along with these new sets.

Both miniseries will be included in the Season 1.1 set as well as the Complete Series. From Brian Ward:

Not only included in the complete series set, the two miniseries will be the first two discs of the first season set, as well. As for the movie, I can't really talk about that, yet. Soon.

Thanks for posting that...there is some great info in there. Glad I missed out on the Rhino sets.

Re: G.I. Joe - A Real American Hero: Season 1, Part 1 - 7/21/09

I'm still confused...the DVDs that will be released within a time span of a couple months are:

1. Season 1 Volume 1
2. Season 1 Volume 2
3. Complete Series

Since I own all the out-of-print Rhino DVDs, I just want to know if I can buy the later Seasons separately?

If you care about Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, I would hold off putting those Rhino DVDs on Ebay. I'm assuming the new G.I. Joe DVDs will either be original audio (stereo) or Dolby Surround.

Yeah, something is not right here. The "Complete Series" sets sound liek they are not going to actually have the complete series. Simply a couple of full seasons. Anyone know if this is actually the case?

I'm glad to see complete seasons coming out as I've learned to now wait and get those instead of individual seasons.

That is not the case. They will be putting out the individual volumes over a period of time, but they will also be putting out "Complete Series" sets shortly after the first volumes.

I'd imagine it'll hurt single release sales a bit, but it also lets the people that own some of the Rhino sets "complete" their series without being forced to rebuy what they own - as long as they don't mind a mis-matched set.

Its closer to the Get Smart/Real Ghostbusters model, but in a compressed time frame.

did someone mix up the wording of "complete series" versus "complete seasons"? Can someone just answer the question when the total complete series (all seasons) will be available? It seems like it won't be by the end of the summer.

I don't think it will be all completely out before summer or in late summer. I predict by late fall all seasons will be out.

But the complete boxsets will be out before summer from what has been given by Shout. It's kinda weird because the seperate seasons will lack features and extras that the complete boxsets before summer will have.

No mix up. The Complete Series box sets for both GI Joe and Transformers will be out later this summer. They have not announced scheduling for all the individual volumes, but there is no doubt the Complete Series sets will be out well before the individual volumes finish.

Awesome. I wish all completed shows would just do complete series sets.

Re: G.I. Joe - A Real American Hero: Season 1, Part 1 - 7/21/09

So basically if anyone has all the Rhino DVDs (up until Season 2 part 1), we just have to wait for just 15 more episodes to complete the Sunbow G.I JOE series? Are any of those last 15 episodes really good anyway?

I really hope they actually release all the G.I. Joe seasons...According to the way tv cartoon shows are released on dvd, they always start off releasing a couple of the first seasons and then that's it!

In this case there would be no point in NOT releasing them. Since the Complete Series are coming out, that means every episode will be authored, all special features will be produced and all the discs will already be replicated/manufactured.

When it comes time to release the later sets all that will need to be done is print packaging and assemble the sets.

that would be awesome. Though my understanding is that the way the contracts were worked with the actors and film makers back then it makes it hard to get, as they were never meant to be for commercial sale. I do hope they have them all though

That looks sweet!

I'm gonna wait till everything is released then decide from there what would be better to own.
