Unicron Trilogy DVD releases

[Chinta63]

I never managed to pick up Armada on DVD so I would gladly buy it. I have Energon and Cybertron on DVD so I can miss those.

I will be very happy when we get season 3 of TF Animated.

Will have to pick this up. Only series im missing

Hursticon shared a link to preorder that revealed disappointing news.

Armada isn't being released as a single set but as two volumes. So you can presume that they'll do the same for the whole trilogy. $300 in total? Uh, no thanks. I'd have got each series as a complete volume but not in this bit by bit release method.

Season sets of 26 episodes on DVD are very good, especially when you consider most cartoon series are still released via single DVD volumes.

Madman eventually bundles sets into complete series anyway, if you can wait long enough.

Yeah but Armada wasn't two seasons, it was one. Those single releases of current cartoons make sense as a way to sell to kids, but Armada is ten years old. Its not Ben10 (or even Prime). I hear about a collection and I expect to get it all not for the distributor to make up season breaks.

I was on the fence about buying these three sets but as six sets I'm tipped over. The eventual box set might get my money but none of these cartoons are worth spending $100 a series on.

If they weren't splitting the sets the prices would be much higher.

This pricing and division of the series into 2 collections is in line with Madman's current structure for their other titles too.

If you wait till 6 months after the release of collection 2, they will most likely release a "complete collection" for $69 or $79.

It's at this point that the consideration of importing Shout! Factory's releases becomes all the more attractive - Whole sets & at half the price.

The DVD release of the complete series of Transformers Armada from Shout Factory in the USA, was recently added to Amazon, and looks much better value:
Transformers Armada-Complete Series $31.49

Definitely makes the local DVD releases look over priced.

Local DVD prices are overpriced. Most players are region free

Pre-ordered! Thanks for the heads up
