G.I.Joe Season One on 10/28? (1 Viewer)

[Daniel Kikin]

QKTheatre.com had the following news item today:

VHS & DVD: According to Robert Culpepper (AKA EagleEyeJoe), DVDs with episodes from the first season of Sunbow's G.I.Joe series will be released on October 28.

I don't if it this is valid, but it would be great news if it's true. Hopefully, "episodes from the first season" means Season One Part One ( since the first season is 55 episodes) and not a best-of.

EDIT: Sorry, I meant to put a question mark in the title, can one of the admins please add it in?

 

[David Lambert]

Thanks, Daniel. I gave you credit where it was due!

 

[Daniel Kikin]

Thanks David, always glad to contribute.

More good news from QKTheatre.com today:

VHS & DVD: Per Joe Glover (AKA Flint wo2) via Sgt. Recondo: "Joe talked to a Kid Rhino rep [at Wizard World Chicago] and got 'absolute confirmation' that the season #1 G.I.Joe 'toons will come out in 2 parts. The first half of season #1 (about 27 episodes or so) will be out in late October and will cost about $59. The second half of season #1 (again, about 27 episodes or whatever) will be out in January 2004 and will also cost about $59. Then, Rhino plans on having season #2 available in late summer 2004 - especially if the season #1 sets sell well. There is a possibility of a promotional 'extra' being sold with the DVD sets, such as a figure or whatever. The 'extra' is all unconfirmed though."
-- Thanks to Doug Smith for the news

If this is true, we could have the entire series on DVD by this time next summer.

There were only two seasons of the TV show?

 

[Dane Marvin]

Yep, two seasons and two 5-part mini-series made up 95 total episodes. And then there was the movie.


Thanks for the news, Daniel! Let's hope that schedule holds up!

 

[ScottJH]

So should one hold onto the 2 disc set that came out because it won't be included in the box set???

 

[Joe6pack99]

UGH yet ANOTHER box set to add to the list my lord the next few months are going to break the bank.

 

[Greg_S_H]

Scott,

Yes, from this information, it appears you'll want to hang on to that 2-disc set.

 

[Michael Osadciw]

it will be great if all episodes are released; I hope this information is true...

...and knowing is half the battle.

(putting out $$$ to buy another box set is the next half!)

Call me crazy, but I also love the 1989 episodes. Does Rhino have the rights to those as well?

 

[todd s]

I know there are 95 episodes plus the 2 5 episode mini-series. What was released a few months ago? Was it one or both of the mini-series??

 

[Daniel Kikin]

The first two miniseries have been released, which are the first 10 of the 95 episodes. Season One was 55 episodes, Season Two was 30 episodes. epguides.com has a good breakdown of the entire Sunbow series run.

 

[Shayne Lebrun]

I just saw this in Future Shop, actually.

 

[streeter]

As an extra, it would be nice if they included the Sgt. Slaughter intros that they tacked on later.

Can't wait till October 28!

Looks like Season One Part One is being pushed to January 27, 2004 according to QKTheatre.com:

VHS & DVD: According to a representative at Rhino, the release date for the G.I.Joe: Season I - Part I DVD box set ($59.95) is now tentatively set for January 27, 2004. If the date is finalized, details about the set's contents will not be released until January.

 

[Jason_V]

Most excellent fantastic news...the push to January will help with the wallet too.

Man, now I'm totally geeked. Joe was much better than Transformers anyway.

 

[streeter]

Bummer, I was really looking forward to this. It will be an agonizing wait!
