...And knowing's half the battle! 
YES! G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero will be coming to DVD (again)! 
This is one of my favorite childhood cartoons (not to mention toyline and comic book series), so I'm definitely excited to see this coming back.
Look for "G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero"- Season 1, Part 1 to be released on a DVD set on July 21st. Nice that it'll be at least in the month of July in keeping with an American patriotic theme, though Independence Day is of course on July 4th.
And it'll be right in time to promote the live action movie- "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra"! (Can't wait to see that one! - August 7th!) 
As some may be aware, Rhino Video had started releasing the G.I. Joe series (and to clarify, this is the Sunbow series which started in 1982)- However, Rhino only got as far as Season 2, Part 1 and thus never completed the series on DVD. In any case, those DVDs are long out of print.
So it'll be awesome to have Shout! Factory releasing G.I. Joe on DVD again! And these guys almost always have some kind of cool bonus features on their DVD sets, so you can look for some really cool stuff for the G.I. Joe DVDs!
See more info at the link.

these GI Joe: ARAH sets are useless if you ask me. Episodes are chopped to bits, severly edited, and just a let down. Ill stick to my opriginal air date bootleg set for the real experience. I hate how companies release edited garbage. Release it as intended or dont at all.
However the DIC GI Joe sets seem top notch and to be 100% the original versions!

| That's a shame about the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero series from Sunbow. I didn't know they were edited episodes. However, Shout! Factory's release is their second release- they were originally released by Rhino some years ago- I wonder if those episodes are in any better quality. But good to hear that at least the DIC G.I. Joe episodes are unedited.

| Unfortunately the shout set is a direct rip of the old rhino release. Same edited episodes.
