Cobra Commander and Destro have a new weapon- the M.A.S.S. Device teleportation machine – and with it they will control the world. The only way the G.I. Joe team can stop Cobra is to build their own M.A.S.S. Device, but they need three rare elements from dangerous places around the globe. The G.I. Joe team races to find these precious materials, knowing that the fate of the world depends on their success.
G.I. Joe – The M.A.S.S. Device is the 5-part miniseries that began the epic story of America’s highly-trained special missions force defending human freedom against Cobra, a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world! 5 action-packed episodes on 1 DVD plus an all-new bonus feature “Looking Back” With Writer Ron Friedman.
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, a summer blockbuster from Paramount Pictures, directed by Stephen Sommers (The Mummy, Scorpion King), is in theatres Aug. 7, 2009. This single DVD – priced to move quickly – offers theatrical fans an easy entry point into the origin of the G.I. Joe phenomenon.

I cant see this selling as well. They released it a few years ago, than the DVD packs everywhere. Everyones extras went on ebay. Are there Joe fans that dont have this yet?
generic trooper says
I'd buy this if I hadn't already purchased the DVD set.
More exposure for the brand though, so its all good.

I can see this possibly selling well to kids who see ROC in August. It's a cheap alternative to parents compared to the whole series releases.

Crimson Cobra Commander says
I don't really need this since I've got the one from the DVD packs, but it's still cool that they're releasing it for newer fans.
