I thought the packaging was supposed to say "The Original Series", not "The Complete Series". See my previous post from the first news thread about the DVD set:

The last 10 episodes were part of the second season and called "The Racing Series". The first season (65 episodes) is known as the "Original Series". Season 2 of M.A.S.K. had a radically different theme from the first season (and IMHO that's what killed the show).

Also, Shout! Factory did not acquire the rights to the second season (it's owned by Cookie Jar Entertainment).

It does suck to hear that the transfer isn't up to par with Transformers or other shows Shout! has done. Still, I will try to pick it up eventually.
