Like the previous reviewer, I got this off pre-order from the shout factory website. Although I haven't had a chance to catch up with the series, I have a pretty good idea of what had happened, seeing bits and pieces of the show when it was on the air of course. I collected the toys back then, when I was a good deal younger than I am now. If you are a trans-fan and want to catch up on what had happened and didn't get the chance to order the original sets, then go for it. Bonus material doesn't really matter that much to me, I am satisfied with what I got plus there are a lot of episodes that I never did see cause either I had lost interest or completely forgot about it since I was still in school (middle approaching high school) back then if I remember right. So this set is the perfect chance for trans-fans in particular beast wars fans for you to catch up with what happened.
