Notes:17 discs divided in two big keepcases within a tin box. Also included in the box is a Comic Book and Art Card. There are no commercial bumpers on the season 1 episodes, but there are on season 2-4.
Back cover incorrectly lists "The Key To Vector Sigma Part 1" as being on Disc 9, and that subtitles are available on the episodes. -
Special thanks to Rewind user Arvid_Spejare for providing these specifications.
