    I'm curious, has there been any word on the sound effects? I remember back when the Rhino sets came out there was some controversy over aspects of the sound design being altered...

    does the movie count into the episode count (wasn't it broke up into the 5 part season premier for season 3?)

    I bet it will sell for $99 on Amazon. I did a search and did not see it yet but it will not be long!

    I knew this wouldn't be cheap. All you had to do was look at Shout Factory's other collector box sets. I believe the Matrix boxset is exclusive to Shout Factory.

    This is not a bad price. For those saying this is to high of a price? How much do you expect this would be for a 16 DVD set? $20?

    I want those magnets. I want to amaze my friends with the power to wipe their credit/debit cards.

    It's cheaper than the old Rhino sets added up together.

    Too bad it doesn't come with the Transformers: The Ultimate Guide. I've been looking for that and it's super ridiculously expensive. This set is pretty kick ass though. They should have made it a smooth 150 and threw in an exclusive figure or something.

    Awesome looking set, $140 for 98 TF episodes (plus bonus material) seems reasonable to me.

    Price did seem really steep off the bat, but I remember what the Rhino sets were going for when they were released, so yeah. Pre-order'd. Can't wait!

    I was expecting a little more than that like $175-180. So this is a good deal for me. Now if GI Joe is the same price I will be one happy guy...

    although I'm only missing both sets of season 2 from rhino, I think I may buy this new set and sell the other 3 rhino sets I have. I totally missed out the Joe release so I will be picking it up as well. Now all we need is thundercats and silverhawks.

    Joe set is $145. If you click the preorder button for the TF set, it's on the bottom of the next page. You can add it to your cart already, but I canna find the dedicated page. Good price for both.

    $140? Ugh.

    I will wait until these are put on sale for $100 or so. $140 is too much.

    I wonder what extras/special features are on these? For $140, I expect a pint of Peter Cullen's blood and Chris Latta's soul that speaks a loud on command.
