I ordered this and season 2 just recently, they arrived just over a day ago and I've watched both seasons now. The new box style is familiar to the old video tape style, though a little bigger.
Both seasons have three discs and the only extras are small profiles of most of the cast of RID. There's a total of 39 episodes, a few being clip shows.
It's a silly, endearing series that doesn't take itself very seriously. Skybyte is perhaps one of the most pitiful villians ever, he tries so hard to be evil, but he just comes out as funny and someone who you soon come to feel sorry for.
The animation is clearly a low form of Anime, yet it quite nice, although the constant transformation sequences can be annoying. There are plenty of moments when you can't help but wonder just what the writers for the series were thinking, or drinking.
So all in all, it's worth getting, it's not a perfect series, but the box sets are nicely done and the series has an endearing quality to it that makes it hard to hate. Perfect for kids and adults alike.

I never liked the old packs, they looked a bit naff... but I really like the new artwork, gives it a nice modern feel and actually feels like it's had some effort put into it. Looks great on the shelf and the series ain't half bad either ;-)
