VR Troopers: Season 1, Vol. 2

A mere three months after Shout Factory released the first 26 episodes of VR Troopers comes this DVD set covering the second half of Season 0ne (or at least most of the second half...more on that in a bit). The saga of Ryan, Kaitlin, and JB continues as they deal with more of Grimlord's menacing mutants. Many of the episodes on the set are a joy to see, but the standout ones are the four episodes that comprise the Defending Darkheart story arc. This saga, in which Ryan finally learns the fate of his long-lost father, is dramatic and emotional, and is a must see for every VR Trooper fans. Other episodes feature the Troopers being turned into children, encountering the Ghost Biker, and fighting Grimlord's own VR Trooper. There's even an episode in which Ryan and his talking dog, Jeb, switch bodies! As you can probably guess, hilarity ensues.This set also contains a pretty cool five-minute clip that was made to introduce the series. Originally included on various Power Ranger tapes released in the 1990s, the promo includes a few differences from the final show, such as having Professor Hart look more like Albert Einstein and different voices for Grimlord and Jeb. It's fascinating to watch, and I hope that Shout will include the Cybertron promo (the original concept for what would become VR Trooper, with Jason David Frank A.K.A. the Green Ranger as the main character) in a future set, as well.Alas, what keeps me from giving this set a five-star rating is that one episode, Grimlord's House of Fear, is missing from the set. Thus, despite the package art mentioning that there are 26 episodes on the set, there are really only 25 episodes. Shout Factory has been made aware of the problem and is currently working on replacement discs in order to rectify the situation. Until they are ready, either hold off on buying the set, or buy it now and then send in a proof of purchase when the discs are ready. Either way, keep checking back with Shout to see when the discs will be ready to go.Here's to hoping Shout will start bringing out Season 2 real soon!

Be careful when buying this from people, i found out the hard way that there was a printing of this DVD missing one episode Grimlord's House of Fear. I was luck enough to get a newer copy from Shout Factory the creators of the DVD. Just beware of what you are buying or go straight to Shout Factory to buy.

The DVD is in Great Condition! Thank you!

We love the purchase!

It sucks that the episode : Grimlords House Of Fear is not on volume 2 , but what kinda makes it up to me is episode 49 with the robot monster Vanbot . I wish Bandai Toys would have turned him into a transforming toy , because he's sort of like a new Renagade Gobot . Which reminds me ; when will the rest of Challenge of the Gobots come out on dvd ? It & the next volume of the VR Troopers better have carriter bios on everyone from their respected tv shows .

It came safe but the problem with this photo missing and episode and torn little bit maybe next time package it real good and if u all need need this a replacement disc from www.shoutfactory.com if u order through amazon rather by it through shout factory...
