Beast Machines In The UK?

Okay, so we've got RID in the UK on DVD now which I am extremely thankful for, but is it possible we're gonna get BW and (more importantly for us UK'ers) Beast Machines. I am desperate to see this series. What do you think our chances are?

I'm not sure. I'd buy BM in a shot because I've never seen it.

I think BW is already available though.

You can get a few eps of BW on DVD but not the whole lot. In the early 2000's they released them all on video (bar 'Aftermath' and 'Optimal Situation') which I was lucky to get hold of, but I am desperate to see BM.

Oh and any chance we'll EVER see more Armada and (a long shot, I know) Energon on DVD?

Aftermath and Optimal Situation were actually released on VHS in the UK. Aftermath was packaged with a redeco Claw Jaw, whilst Toys R Us gave away OpSit videos if you bought over X quid's worth of BW stuff.

Yeah, not wide release, but they are there.

Special mystery BW DVD! Yayzness and w00t and other crazy internet phrases that everybody uses because they're afraid to admit they don't know what they actually mean.

Mmmm, repainted Claw Jaw.... complete with fake Transmetal-y bits! Wasn't a red Spittor also sold in a similar way?

I was lucky enough to catch BM on Fox Kids - it was not as good as BW but waaaay better than anything since. I've recorded it to tape, but since I moved house the video cassettes are in a box somewhere. I was also lucky to have the BW ep 'Aftermath' recorded from their GMTV days and 'Optimal Situation' on DVD. I'm STILL massively annoyed that these two brilliant series aren't out in DVD boxsets in England.

Jealous much. I wish I had the eps on disc just so I didn't have to worry about the vids going all crappy in the future. I don't really buy stuff off the 'net though 'cos my mate keeps getting screwed over and I don't fancy the risk unless I REALLY want something.
I've got a mate with a DVD recorder though who's going to stick all my BW, BM, Armada and Energon eps on disc for me.

New subject for the moment: Is anyone else annoyed that Toonami don't list the actual episode names in their listings for the new eps? Half term is coming up here and they're messing about with the schedule so I don't know what is showing when - which makes taping them a complete bast. Any body have more detailed listings for what new ep is showing when?
