The new Saban Brands logo will be on the back. And the old Saban logo actually helps with brand recognition for the older fans who buy it for nostalgia. Brian made a big post about it on RangerBoard. They know it's the same show made by the same people.
Not gonna lie, that's a pretty lame reason for hating on a company because store decides not to carry a product. Shout! is not forbidding Best Buy from buying those DVDs, it's on Best Buy completely.
Because online stores usually have shipping fees unless you find a way to game Amazon Prime's trial and get free shipping?
I find the release schedule cumbersome when the dvds have been made for months via the sets and the release schedule being entirely spaced out to the Fall for the singular sets. They aren't forbidding them, but the schedule makes bootlegging far more feasible to do, especially since the subs from the boots are way more accurate that the official ones which laughably try to localize the product and the video quality is pretty much the same as the boots or fansubs, but that's Hasbro's fault for not getting those restored unless Shout! does it?
Having a cleaned up version without the dirt and grime of the accumulated years was one of the sole reasons why I was going to get the sets so I was gonna see them in a close-to-original glory, butwho knows if they'll ever release Beast Wars II/Neo and actually clean up that animation? I might as well bootleg the entirety of the Transformers Japanese Collection since it's just bootleg sets that slapped the official sticker of approval.
I really hope Saban has people cleaning up the episodes as much as possible, and extras would be a plus. But if not, I'm passing.
