The Borg Megacube - The Complete Star Trek: Next Generation Seasons 1 - 7 (region 2)

Paramount have just sent us full details of their November 3rd release of The Borg Megacube. This set will include every single episode from all seven seasons of the highly acclaimed Sci Fi TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation. Containing no less than 48 DVDs and boasting a £449.99 RRP, this could be the largest and most expensive commercial DVD box set released to date.

He hee, are they forgetting about the 49 dvd Twilight Zone set that AU "released"? Of course, that was $399.99, not almost $750.

Of course, these will actually get made. ;)

Edit: Oh, and on-topic... that looks sweet. Is that only being released overseas (for us Yanks) or is there a Region 1 release as well? I didn't see any info on that...but I may be blind.

:shock:

Oh-my-gawd!

That is huge dude. You get all the STNG epsiodes and the clock. That is awesome. Granted given the expense this would have to go on my Xmas Wish List 2003, 2004 & quite possibly 2005.

:D

I wonder if they are going to wait and see wait sales are like in Region One before they try for a wider release.

*sigh*

I already have seasons 2, 3, 4, and 7 in R1 so I don't think I can justify buying this whole set in R2.

:evil:

I don't think they will release it R1 ever:
The Borg MegaCube, the ultimate DVD collection, contains the Complete Star Trek: The Next Generation series 1- 7 across 48 discs and is strictly limited to just 1000 numbered copies worldwide.
Of course, this doesn't mean they won't package a different style set down the road. I wouldn't bank on it though, if you are seriously interested in this series and the collection I would jump on this set. Especially since their is only 1000 made. 700+ dollars is a lot of money though :shock:

So how much longer until you have 1, 5 & 6?

I actually had S1 in my hands - my boyfriend bought it off ebay for me, but there were two copies of disc 1 and no disc 2 so we sent it back :evil:

Kinda ruined my plans to watch the entire series from the beginning (perfect for summer since nothing was on) so I am back on the lookout for the three seasons I am missing. I might just go back to the local music store where I bought 2-4 & 7 since they are good quality used DVDs (I have let myself watch the special features so far).

I am keeping my fingers crossed that you find them.

And I'll keep my fingers crossed that Santa brings you the whole set - clock and all!
