    Wouldn't it be cheaper to ge the comic (even a reprint, it's been reprinted several times) and the DVD separately? What's on the DVD?

    Nah, I'm in the same boat as you. Encore it is.

    Yeah true Gok, what's on the DVD anyway? If it's an episode of the G1 that I already have, then I'm happy to stick with the set I got from Myer.

    I believe it contains More than meets the Eye Part 1. It may contain more, but I honestly cannot remember.

    The toy inside is inferior to Encore or earlier reissues. The attraction, in a collector's point of view I guess, is the toy itself + all the extras together as a "complete" package. Without the DVD it is a big minus (even though I already have the same episode on multiple DVD releases). If one is to collect different packaging variants then I suppose he would attempt to get both versions. But this one at $100 is really hard to swallow (especially at this time of the year). I'll wait and see if the other retail chains have better prices.

    I think this one is more for kids, parents who pick up for their kids, or people who don't have online access or a habit of ordering online.

    Maybe Hasbro are aiming this at people who've never owned a G1 Prime before - Let alone a G1 figure (I'm talking about non-TF people).

    If you were a non-TF person, how would you know that this 25th Anniv. edition is the worst G1 Prime ever?

    This "kind of" falls into the category of people who don't have online access or a habit of ordering online.
