For fans of retro 80s TV shows (and it's toyline), the Cult Classic "Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Power_and_the_Soldiers_of_the_Future)" is being released, in full, in a couple weeks time (in America). All 22 episodes (each only being 22 minutes), plus extras, including details of the unproduced 2nd Season.
For a sample of the show, check out the intro on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M678PVOf5F0). (just keep in mind that this was an 80s TV show, that was trying to use expensive movie effects, so looks cheesy by todays standards)
Amazon America has it listed for pre-order (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005OZJE8K/ref=pe_113430_21789360_pd_re_dt_dt2), discounted to US$34, which may be eligible for free shipping (you'd need to check the sight for details).
If you need to get something else to get over a free-shipping threshhold, maybe check out these other great 80s cartoons that have recently been released on DVD as well - MASK (http://www.amazon.com/M-S-K-Complete-Doug-Stone/dp/B004ZKKL14/ref=pd_cp_mov_2) (complete series), Gobots (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00535QKPG/ref=pe_113430_21789360_pd_re_dt_dt7) (first five episodes), JEM (http://www.amazon.com/Jem-Holograms-Truly-Outrageous-Complete/dp/B005BUA1CG/ref=pd_bxgy_mov_text_b) (complete series), Bravestar (http://www.amazon.com/Bravestarr-Complete-65-Episode-Collection/dp/B004RA7XZE/ref=pd_sim_mov_7) (complete series), Thundercats (both seasons), MOTU/She-Ra (all seasons), Defenders of the Earth (http://www.amazon.com/Defenders-Earth-Complete-65-Episode/dp/B003CS28UC/ref=pd_sim_mov_12) (complete series), or even Dungeons & Dragons (http://www.amazon.com/Dungeons-Dragons-Complete-Willie-Aames/dp/B002DH20Q0/ref=pd_sim_mov_10) (complete series).... ah, so many memories of getting up early to watch Saturday morning cartoons.
