Glad to hear they'll be straightened out by Season 2. I haven't visited the forum over at Shout. Any word from B. Ward as to how fast they expect to get these released? I'm guessing we'll get Season 2 next year.

IE if I buy the first season set I will get the miniseries, plus what Rhino called the first season episodes?

There are several discs of bonus content in the sets. Contrary to popular belief, the breakdown will not be S1.1, S1.2, S2.1, S2.2. The first season had 55 episodes, while the second season only had 30. We've included the 10 mini-series episodes with the first season, so that's 65 episodes total, adding up to 95 episodes with S2. Therefore, the breakdown is S1.1, S1.2, S1.3, S2. S1.1 has bonus content on each disc, rather than a bonus disc. This was designed for breaking the discs out into single-disc collections like our upcoming "M.A.S.S. Device" disc. The remaining volumes each have a bonus disc of content. So, in the complete series collection, you will find bonus features on discs 1-4, 8, 12, and 17 (obviously, S2 will end up being a five-disc collection). Some of those bonus discs will include content not available on the individual season sets.

As for the time frame of its release at retail, nothing has changed since the last post. We have no time frame set for its release at this time. If you want the set, it is highly recommended that you pick it up from the site. While it's possible, I certainly cannot promise it will be any more affordable when it hits retail. When you look at the history of direct-to-consumer sales, the SRP typically runs a little higher when it hits retail in order to hit an acceptable profit margin for the label, distributor, and retail store. Since I'm not in the sales department and have absolutely no knowledge of those plans, I cannot say that's going to happen here, so don't go quoting me at other boards. But I am a major DVD consumer and have noticed this trend for years.

Season 2, Episode 17: Grey Hairs and Growing Pains
Season 2, Episode 18: My Brother's Keeper
Season 2, Episode 19: My Favorite Things
Season 2, Episode 20: Raise the Flagg!
Season 2, Episode 21: Ninja Holiday
Season 2, Episode 22: G.I.Joe and the Golden Fleece
Season 2, Episode 23: The Most Dangerous Thing in the World
Season 2, Episode 24: Nightmare Assault
Season 2, Episode 25: Second Hand Emotions
Season 2, Episode 26: Joe's Night Out
Season 2, Episode 27: Not a Ghost of a Chance
Season 2, Episode 28: Sins of Our Fathers
Season 2, Episode 29: In the Presence of Mine Enemies
Season 2, Episode 30: Into Your Tent I Will Silently Creep

It's either spend $150 (the Complete Series) to get these remaining 15 episodes or nervously wait to see if SHOUT is going to release these episodes by itself?
