I just went to the Startrek.com site and saw that they are realeasing them on DVD in a very bright yellow container.

Though they did just announce what the special features would be (Okuda text commentaries for both parts of "The Menagerie" and, oddly, "The Conscience of the King." And why couldn't they do this for shows which he actually worked on? Commentary tracks are the only things I've really felt the TNG ((and presumably DS9 and Voyager)) sets lacked.), so someone could mention that. In that other thread. Though I just did so here.

I've used it a couple times very recently, but I wouldn't say it's newly-found. I used to mess around with brackets, but I don't think that looks as sleek.

I saw this on Amazon Japan: The Uchudaisakusen Galaxy Box. All three seasons of TOS for the low suggested retail price of 92,400 yen (73,920 yen at Amazon). Available December 12, 2004.

I didn't realize how fast this was creeping up on us, but Season I of TOS (as well as Trekkies II) will be released Aug 31st!!
On a completely unrelated, yet related topic, Futurama Season IV will be out Aug 24th!
Posted by Harry (Member # 265) on :
Actually, it will be released as early as the 26th (R2 anyway).

I speak only for those in Region 1; afterall we all know why it is called "Region 1". Am I rite guyz? Posted by MrNeutron (Member # 524) on :
Because 1 is half as much as 2?
Posted by Futurama IV Shizzle (Member # 968) on :
And twice as much as �.

I've pre-ordered all three sets at 95 Euro each. Nice to see that they are cheaper than TNG and DS9, even though there are more eps per season. And the boxes look great too. They were on display at FedCon this year. The picture quality should also be a lot better than that of the TNG/DS9/VOY sets as TOS was recorded on "real" film. Can't wait until September...
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Got all four seasons of Futurama earlier in the year (In Australia) at half price or less.
They recently had a sale at JB Hi Fi with all four seasons for AUS$32 each.
Simpsons seasons 1, 2 and 3 AUS $36 dollars each (I should get them before they go back up)
Last year they had all (at that time) 6 seasons between $30 and $40 a set.
TREK though is still blood up in either high 100's or sometimes 200's. gah. I know it's an hour show with 26 (usually) episodes per season but... gah. AND I've already bought entire DS9 and Voyager on tape over the years.
Posted by Austin Powers (Member # 250) on :
I think I have to try and find out the AUD/EUR exchange rate to make sense of these prices...
Posted by Harry (Member # 265) on :
1 EUR = 1,84 AUS 1 AUS = 0,60 EUR
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Well basically our dollar is weaker - so if it's cheap for us - it's even cheaper for you! Posted by Austin Powers (Member # 250) on :
Thanks for the info, Harry. The only problem is, your version don't come with German soundtrack, do they?
Posted by Harry (Member # 265) on :
I believe all of R2 gets essentially the same stuff, ie English, German and French (or was it Spanish) soundtracks, and the whole range of subtitles. With the possible exception of the UK.
I wonder.. are those the original German soundtracks? If so, what's going to happen to the Nazi episode? Is it still banned in Germany? Or do they have to redub it?
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
They re-Dubbed it to so the word "Ameerican" replaced "Nazi" and CGI'd the American flag onto their armbands...
Posted by Balaam Xumucane (Member # 419) on :
Will they one-shot the TNG sets? 'Cause I don't know that I want entire seasons of that show. It's kind of nice for me and the old TOS release to just pick up the episodes I know I'll want to watch more than once. Fuck, at this point I this point I should probably just bit-torrent DS9.
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
There are a couple TNG themed packages. Like, there is one that advertises itself as "Jean-Luc Picard" episodes. And I think there are others. So that is maybe more what you're looking for, though I don't believe much of the series is covered this way.
Posted by Futurama IV Skin (Member # 968) on :
I could see buying a 2 DVD TOS-Klingon-themed set of:
"Errand of Mercy"
"Trouble With Tribbles"
"Day of the Dove"
"Blood Oath"
"The Sword of Kahless"
"Flashback"
"Trials and Tribble-ations"
"Once More Unto the Breach"

Not a bad selection.
Posted by J (Member # 608) on :
If you're going to have Family, why not have Best of Both Worlds, and if that one why not All Good Things? And for good measure Captian's Holiday & Conspricy.
Which was the one with Picard being thrown back in time and he couldn't interact until they got closer to his real time?

Time Squared

Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
REALLY sucked ass. How about the first season episode where Picard gets posessed?
It could go nicely as part of a "Picard episodes that suck ass" DVD set. Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
Bung in the one where he gets replaced by a replicant and locked up with those three aliens.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
And the one where he's stuck in the turbolift with the three kids.
....although I mainly hate that episode because Troi's dumber than dirt in that one.

I liked "Time Squared" too. Which means I've agreed with Andrew twice in one day. Shit.
"Disaster" wasn't a bad episode either. You had Troi being an idiot, Picard singing, Riker carring a headless Data around, and Worf's best ever line. "You may now give birth".
Posted by Aban Rune (Member # 226) on :
Oddly, another of Worf's best lines comes from the one Lee was describing where the alien chick/dude is trying to get Picard to put out.
"If he were not an ambassador, I would disembowel him right here."
Posted by Dat (Member # 302) on :
Um, Riker was carrying around just Data's head, not his headless body.

Yeah disaster was a good 'fish out of water' episode. And it sort of gave Troi something to do instead of whinging about her empathic abilities - see the episode with the 2D creatures. "The Loss".
Posted by Dat (Member # 302) on :
It did give Troi something to do, but it made her look like in idiot at the same time, while a low-ranked officer and a noncomm knew and did more. Really how can she not know what would happen when a warp core breached. She had already spent four full years on the flagship (many times on the bridge) when similar events occured.
