Per a request I have forwarded on the artwork from the ever gracious Meredith Mulroney at Media Blasters for the Lion Force DVD sets Part 1 and 2 which come out May.4 and have an MSRP of $49.99 each. Part 1 is an 7-disc set (Ep.1-36), Part 2 is 8-disc (Ep.37-72) and collect the entire Lion Force saga of Voltron.

More info as I get it!

Do these have all the special features that were previously contained on the 5 tins?

I'm only familiar with the Blue Lion set, but the extras on that one were great.

I think both covers look neat, but I don't like how they use almost the *exact same* layout. The one and only difference is whenever or not the heros are in causal clothings or in uniforms. I think having some sort of Hero/Villian lineup might've been more striking. That is; have one cover with the heros, and the other with the villians. Granted, not the most original of ideas, but better than having a near-identical setup.

I'll check but I imagine they would use a lot of the extras. Perhaps that is what that eighth disc is on Part 2?

I agree with this. They are very nice covers individually, but within a set, the second volume should have featured Zarkon and his minions, Haggar, Lotor, etc. This layout style was used on the He-Man and M.A.S.K dvds and it works perfectly.

Otherwise, I'm very happy these are being released. I have the original sets, but will buy these as well because they'll take up less shelf space and be easier to access than the tins (which I love and are still awesome). So I'll probably store the tins safely and use the 2 volume complete set as my casual "viewer".
