I'd be really curious to see the nerd who buys that.

The nerd who would buy that is the same nerd who, most likely, has already purchased the DVDs individually.

It looks like a number of people on Amazon have already noted that they miss TAS. I recall at least one good episode, the rewrite of Niven's "The Soft Weapon", and on the whole I thought that the Animated Series was a worthy addition to the franchise.

I forget why, but Walter Koenig (Chekov, duh) does not 'appear'.

The animation was cheap - they reused a LOT of the animation in different episodes.

This is Filmation you're talking about. People who, according to some of animation-buff buddies of mine, have a special ring of hell reserved just for them.

Well it's not canon, according to none other than Roddenberry himself, and I'm guessing that if you want this collection, Star Trek canon is something you take pretty seriously.

Didn't he also say that about The Final Frontier?

I have fond memories of the episode where Spock goes back in time and visits his childhood self. But I wouldn't be surprised, if I were to see it today, to find it somehow diminished. This has happened with other childhood shows (such as Speed Racer).

I am not buying this until they prmise me there will never, ever, ever be any new Star Trek material to buy. I don't want to end up with an obsolete $3,000 set when "The Really Ultimate Star Trek Collection including Star Trek: Academy Days!" comes out!!!

Seriously, how much would all of these items cost, if bought seperately? I'm guessing this collection will be cheaper.

The movie collection is listed at about $130 US. Deduct that from the price, and this huge set still averages $85 per season of television. I'd expect a bigger volume discount for this thing. There aren't a lot of shows I'd spend that on for individual seasons. (I did on The X-Files, but that price was set when movies were $40 each. I did on Babylon 5, too, but that doesn't have the same size of market so it needs a higher ticket price for the same profit margin.)

Correction: the price is $2499.99. Normally I wouldn't say anything, but that extra $0.99 may be a deciding factor in someone's decision to purchase.
