I know that most people on here probably could care less since it wasn't a very popular series with it being too tongue and cheek and all but does anybody know if they will ever release all the episodes of 2001's Robots In Disguise to a Region 1 (or 0) DVD box set like they did with the ones right after that (Armada, Energon and Cybertron)? I myself would love to see the episodes released to DVD since I loved that show myself. I know you can always watch low quality ones on Youtube but would love to see an official release by Shout! or one of them of the Saban English dubbed episodes. I read somewhere that Disney now owns the rights to those episodes that Saban previously had dubbed in English before they went under. Anybody else know on here what the story is to who owns the rights to the English dubbed episodes of R.I.D. 2001? I guess if Disney does own the rights it is probably unlikely that we will ever see an official release of them to DVD or Blu-Ray at least in North America anyway.

Saban dubbed the show back in the day, Disney bought up Saban's assets back when Saban went under, Saban later came back and reacquired only some of its shows from Disney, RiD was not among these reacquired shows, so currently the show remains in ownership limbo and no one on high really cares enough about it (or even remembers it?) to really do anything with it.

The show was, however, released on DVD three times in the UK, but good luck tracking down any of those Region 2 DVD sets for a decent price.

I don't normally advocate bootlegs of any variety, but since no one seems to want our money for this I'd just go that route. No official DVD release here in the US.
