The region 2 release came almost a year after the region 1, leaving people in the UK waiting, wondering and completely unsure if NBC would ever release it within the UK in region 2 format. Clearly the long time Airwolf fans just jumped on the .com seller sites rather than the .co.uk and just bought the R1 release after about 2 months of waiting for an official R2 PlayBack release. (this is only advisable if you have a region free dvd player, almost every dvd player can be unlocked) Knowing this Universal clearly decided to re-package the actual DVD Menus and include an animation, probably in the hopes anyone living anywhere would spend more cash to get the R2 set, as many long time fans also did. Although it comes with an animated menu (unlike r1 release) but sadly it lacks the r1 episode summary screens.
