When the US animated series Transformers ended, the Japanese producers of the toy line opted to continue the Generation One universe by creating three more seasons.

Transformers: The Complete Takara Collection contains the 35 episodes that make up Transformers: The Headmasters, all 42 installments of Transformers: Super-God Masterforce, and the final 44 episodes that constitute Transformers: Victory.

Only Fools And Horses: The Complete Collection £78.89

If the Only Fools And Horses: The Complete Series One To Seven boxset doesn’t satisfy your lust for comedy, then perhaps Only Fools And Horses: The Complete Collection will. The differences between the two are that this one comes with the 16 Specials present and correct.

I should also mention that both sets have slightly edited episodes in them. This is usually because of music rights, etc. and is a bit of a bug bear with some people.

Sendit.com have this available for £78.89 - for more information, click here.

Only Fools And Horses: The Complete Series One To Seven £31.64

Even though it’s been off our screens for around five years now, Only Fools And Horses is still as popular as ever. Sadly the follow up (The Green Green Grass) has been very poor, although somehow still manages to keep from being cancelled by the BBC.

Only Fools And Horses: The Complete Series One To Seven contains all 48 regular episodes ever made. Please note that this doesn’t contain any of the Christmas Specials though.

Gossip Girl: The Complete First Season £12.93

If there’s been an empty hole in your life since The O.C. finished, and you’re hankering for another teen drama, then Gossip Girl will probably be of interest. It’s based on the popular novel series of the same name, and is produced by the same team behind The O.C.

The show satirises and revolves around the lives of socialite young adults growing up on New York’s Upper East Side who attend elite academic institutions while dealing with drugs, sex, jealousy, and other such wonderful things that teenagers go through.

If you fancy Gossip Girl: The Complete First Season, click here to buy it for £12.93 from Asda.

The Karate Kid Collection £7

Although The Karate Kid is slightly frowned upon because of its rather cheesy nature (not to mention soundtrack), it’s actually quite comparable to Rocky - both have an underdog story going on, and both also feature scores composed by Bill Conti.

The three sequels are a somewhat mixed bag, with The Karate Kid: Part II being the best of the bunch. The least said about the awful The Next Karate Kid, the better!

Pokémon 3: The Movie £2.89

Pokémon 3: The Movie is the last of the feature-length Pokémon films to be shown in cinemas in the UK, possibly because over time the series has become less popular. That’s my theory anyway.

There’s over 100 new Pokémon characters shown throughout the movie, many of which have subsequently appeared in the games. Also accompanying the feature is a 22 minute short titled "Pikachu & Pichu", which marks the debut of the mischievous Pichu Brothers.

Pokémon: The First Movie £2.89

After the Pokémon anime series was a huge success it was decided that a film would be made, and Pokémon: The First Movie is the result. Although it’s mainly aimed at kids, I’m sure there’s some adults who enjoy it as well.

It’s made up of three different segments: Pikachu’s Vacation, Origin Of Mewtwo, and the main 75 minute feature Mewtwo Strikes Back. I should point out that Origin Of Mewtwo is cut a bit, as it was deemed too dark for younger viewers.

Click here to buy this for £2.89 from Sendit.com. Like I said before, this is one of those cheap DVDs aimed at kids - and as it’s not too long, it should keep them entertained for a while.

The Golden Compass (Blu-Ray) £9.85

The His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman seemed ripe for the plucking in regards to being turned into a film, although it has to be said that The Golden Compass isn’t quite as good as many were hoping.

It’s about a girl called Lyra, who is an orphan living in a fantastical parallel universe in which a dogmatic theocracy known as the Magisterium threaten to destroy the world. When here friend is kidnapped, she travels to the far North in an attempt to rescue him and rejoin her uncle.

Semi-Pro: Let’s Get Sweaty Edition (Blu-Ray) £9.80

Will Ferrell has had a string of hits since the success of Anchorman, but it has to be said that some of his recent films haven’t been as good as we’ve been used to.

Semi-Pro is a sports comedy movie about a singer who uses the profits from his one-hit wonder to buy a basketball team. Sadly they are the worst team in the league and are in danger of folding - unless they can start winning games…
