I just got the new G.I. Joe DVD Footlocker Set on Friday and have been looking over the Animation and the special features. Overall the color is a step above the Rhino DVD's but that's not what makes the set unique and desirable to purchase as a collector.
It's always fun to sit down a watch a few of your favorite episodes (95 to choose from) and travel back to your childhood. Each DVD features character box art (Season 1 G.I. Joe - Season 2 Cobra) and are packed into a clip like cartridge that slides out of the foot locker lid. Also included is a Episode/ Special Feature book with an introduction by Seth Green. Overall the box set presentation is on-point and also features a spot for the G.I. Joe Movie (Not Included) that may be a sign of things to come. For somebody like me who already owns the Episodes the main draw is the special features. You can tell everybody who gave their time up for the DVD was excited about the project and loved their time served when they were working on G.I. Joe. From Ron Friedman, Larry Hama, Aaron Archer to name a few, the dvd bonus features really brings together the rich history of G.I. Joe and how it all got started. From the original TV marketing of the G.I. Joe comics to a smash hit full blown TV series and action figure toy line. The thing that I geeked out to the most were the old school Hasbro Toy Commercials. I don't know if every single RAH commercial was included, but if not, they came very close. It was a great time watching those, and I really enjoyed watching the bonus materials, and I think all the collectors on the board, will as well. It's an easy choice to pick up the Box Set rather then the single season packs. If your at SDCC 2009 you can pick up your copy at the Shout Factory Booth. See you there!

I don't believe there are any plans for retail stores to get this set in the next couple of months.

Very few of those made it onto the DVD. The Destro introduction is one of them.
