Well worth watching.
Speed Racer is the man. For real. Not much of a review but buy the series and you will see.

Love it!
Obviously Speed Racer is timeless. Our kids love the DVD. We don't leave home without it.

Love Speed Racer
I have all 5 DVDs of Speed Racer. What a nice blast from the past. It's also somewhat refreshing to let my child watch it vs. the endless drone of Dora or Diego. He loves it. We watch all of the DVDs depending on his mood and he even wants to be Speed Racer for Halloween. It's a shame that the Speed Racer "comeback" on the internet seems mindless. Speed Racer was almost like James Bond, fighting bad guys back then. You don't see that nowadays in many cartoons. I was 3 when I first was watching these and I still think they are all awesome. Even more fun to watch now that I'm older and understand what is going on now.
It's too bad they aren't bringing it back, old school style. That would be the way to do it.

VOLUME FOUR IS RUNNING ON FUMES !!
Speed Racer volume 4 is a complete disappointment.Why did the studio decide to split the final 16 episodes of speed racer into two volumes?.The entire series only had 52 episodes,so why 5 volumes.The studio has resorted to cheap gimmick's from the start to sell their dvd's and that's just wrong.The first season had rubber tire packaging(neat).The second season had a slip cover with music and blinking headlights(cool).The third season was a dvd in a cheap tin can(very cheap).The fourth season contains only 8 episodes and comes with a 1/64 scale diecast mach 5(big deal).I don't know about the rest of you but i stopped playing with dinky cars a long time ago and would have liked the final 16 episodes on one volume.Why didn't the studio just release the entire series in a limited edition boxed set.Maybe some tv shows need gimmick's to sell, Speed Racer certainly doesn't!.

Skimping on storylines
If you enjoy Speed Racer, this is an essential part of the series to have as a die-hard regardless. However, most of the episodes are only one part episodes. They wrap up much too quickly. I say get the other volumes if you like the multi-part episode series. The two-part storylines are needed to make a good plot and development. There is only one two-part series on this DVD. And the collector's car isn't anything special to look at. It's just a neat little bonus to have I guess. If you want a better looking model car, Johnny Lightning brand is the ticket if you can fine one.

GREAT BIRTHDAY PRESENT!
I remember when my brother was a kid and how he'd rush home from school to
see "Speed Racer". That was HIS show. He loves cars. I was happy to see the complete set (5 volumes) available and plan to give it to him on his birthday - June 30th. (He will turn 50 years young)!

Speed
When I order, the item description said "Includes Collectible Die-Cast Toy", but I didn't received this.

Exciting and Fun, more violent than previous SR volumes
I loved Speed Racer as a little Girl, and my daughter, age 6, loves the series as well. A lot of reviews have already been written about this vol., but I wanted to make a few points.
First of all, of the first 1-4 volumes, this is the most violent. Again, it's cartoon violence and doesn't seem particularly gratuitous, but I waited a full year until my daughter was 6 before letting her watch these. Older kids, I'm sure, will have no trouble with the material.
Second, one of the series is very much like a previous episode "Car Hater", but it's still a good story.
Finally, I have to say that there are more twists and turns in this one than I remember in the First Two sets of Speed Racers. One of them, "The Man in the Mask", actually left me and my daughter gasping with shock at the end!
Very exciting stories; and, I think they have a good message, too, of Right Vs. Wrong, Good Vs. Evil, etc.
Great series, and this is sure to be one that you'd like to include if you liked the previous three volumes.

Adventures' waitin' just ahead......
Wow! Nothing can stop Speed, as he battles to defeat the evil plans of villains out to conquer the world (or at the very least, a race with a bizarre name!)! Will they succeed, or will Speed prevail?! The answers to some of the questions at least, are as follows:
The Terrifying Gambler
The Secret Invaders (part 1)
The Secret Invaders (part 2)
The Man Behind the Mask
The Car Destroyer
The Desperate Racer
The Dangerous Witness
Race The Laser Tank
If Speed can keep this up, he may very well end up being a multi-generational affair!! On to the final volume!

Die Cast no longer included
Amazon is no longer including the die-cast Mach 5, which if you read the other reviews is a selling point of this package.
