    Usually this is the type of thing I'd pick up on pre-order, but since I own the Rhino, I need to find out exactly what improvements have been made.

    Until reviews come out, (Heavy metal war would be great to see on youtube), I'll have to wait.

    Wouldn't that involve going in and altering the show? I thought it was supposed to be as it aired on TV in 1984. If they did alterations, fans would complain not getting the show as it originally aired.

    Did Metrodome go in and alter the show to fix the errors?

    Is this a online exclusive item, or can you pick the entire series up in stores as well? Just curious if I should order it, or wait for Fry's to get it..

    Thanks!

    We mean the errors caused by Rhino.

    Using the wrong takes, Annoying added sound effects, etc.

    Though I do miss the added cound effects in the bumpers...

    Yes and No. They attempted to fix the animation errors that exist on the previous video releases but they are not changing the original animation errors. (Rumble is still blue and certain characters still move their mouths when clearly another character is speaking.) Their intent is for the DVDs to closely resemble the original aired episodes as possible.

    How was it delivered? Standard mail or did they use some other shipping service?

    Crazy... I got the email notification yesterday (I didn't read it until this morning) that the G1 box set was being shipped out, and this afternoon it came.

    Was it actually the mail or was it UPS or FedEx? I got the notification that mine is on the way but their poor excuse for an online storefront doesn't bother to give tracking information or carrier information, even after their poor excuse for customer service told me that I would get a tracking number with my shipment notification.

    Mine just came in this afternoon, and it arrived via U.S. Postal Service standard shipment.

    I just watched the Rhino set beginning 4/3/2009 so it's pretty fresh in my mind, I'll let you know the differences once I get mine.

    I have received my set today and the rhino errors for ultimate doom part 3 and plague of insecticons have been fixed!, still the wrong opening for five face of darkness episode 1,2 and 4 and for the episode Dark awakening is now the original ending!. I have a problem in the episode : THE BURDEN HARDEST TO BEAR in disc 15 the picture in the top goes to left.

    The ending used for reruns had a narration eluding to Prime's return in the two-parter The Return of Optimus Prime.

    In the original Rodimus says: so long prime ..... and for the not-original you will hear the narrator telling : is this really the end of optimus prime? don't miss tommorow the return of optimus prime!!
