SHOUT FACTORY DTC bringing you more classic 80's animation!!

Many know Shout Factory as the company that has brought the recent rereleases of the 80's mega-hits Transformers (as well as for the 1st time) the complete GI Joe: A Real American Hero series, on DVD to peoples homes everywhere in 2009 in remastered quality after a long sleep.
But did you know that Shout's 1st efforts of 80's classic animated TV shows started some years ago?.... & it was with a couple of animated shows that stalled due to the hardcore fanbase only buying them, & retailers saying "no more" to further releases ...Well Shout Factory is hitting back in 2010 with a new "direct to consumer" line of dvd sets sold online directly from the company TO YOU. They are bypassing retail (as WB did very successfully this last year with cult classics & are continuing) with their own unreleased catalog of 80's cartoon retro-hits... Starting off with the long-awaited "C.O.P.S" 80's animated tv series that has not seen any new dvd releases since the 1st volume in 2006, now is getting back in action with Shout Factory's new DTC line in 2010 with volume 2!! Classic 80''s cartoon fans REJOICE, if C.O.P.S. is coming back, could "Jayce & The Wheeled Warriors volume 2" be far behind?
