3.0 out of 5 stars I'm thinking something bigger will be there next year & THIS COSTS HOW MUCH!!!!, November 7, 2005

As 2006 will be the 40th anniversary of Star Trek, I'm guessing there will be something available next year at this time that will potentially blow everyone's doors off. I think this is just a way to fuel the cash cow that is Star Trek.

The BBC didn't do something this grand in 2003 for their 40 year old show, "Doctor Who". However, I'll give them props for dropping the bomb that they were going to begin making the program again.

I'm sure this time next year, we'll have a complete package with TAS plus a whole slew of bloopers to gawk at. I'm sure this will also come with a wonderfully inflated price tag of $3000. After all, it's the 40th anniversary.

I really don't know where Paramount get off charging this much for Star Trek sets. Realistically this should be more around the $1500 range.

$40 per season of programming x 28 seasons = $1120
$30 per movie x 10 films = $ 300
Total $1420

Add on some premium for packaging, etc. $1499

Tacking on that extra $1000 for this set is a bit much and just plain greedy.

1.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE STAR TREK but this set is a pure total utter rip off., January 31, 2006

This review is from: The Ultimate Star Trek Collection (DVD)

Trust me I love star trek and have since I was a kid in the 1960's but the price PARAMOUNT want's for this STAR TREK mega set is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Like many others have said their are better series than Star Trek out here that are still in production that have DVD sets on sale MUCH CHEAPER than the per episode price PARAMOUNT DEMANDS here for Star Trek. I would pay a slightly higher price for star trek because I love TREK but, I would not submit myself to the brand of blatant highway robbery being proposed here at this overly inflated price.

I already have most of the star trek episodes I really like. I brought the star trek movies when they were being offered at a better price on DVD individually. Most of the Star Trek series while good were and are not worth the amounts of money Paramount is asking people to pay here. Most of the Star Trek Series is way overpriced and I vote on this Star Trek rip off series pricing by letting this crap stay right on the shelf unsold.

PARAMOUNT overpricing the its Star Trek merchandise is doing more to cure me of my Star Trek addiction than anything my family had tried over the years. I still have a warm place in my heart for Star Trek and likely always will. Paramount has done a great job of cooling my love of Star Trek to that of a tepid pool, a love for trek that most of my life had the passionate energy well beyond that of any SuperNova.

PARAMOUNT continues to overplay its hand regards Star Trek and in so doing is alienating its once loyal fan base. After Paramount finishes killing off the rest of its most loyal fan base with its preditory pricing in the fullness of time these way overpriced Star Trek items will be priced realistically and at that time like the Wolf I am I might actually buy them. Until these overpriced DVD's come down in price segnificantly the best place for these overpriced lamers is the UNSOLD Inventory Sheet's of Paramount Studios \ Viacom Corp'S DVD werehouse.

My hats off to all Paramount Exec's you sure knew how to ruin a once great STAR TREK FRANCHISE. Congratulations I hope you enjoy your Bonuses.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great material. Insane price., March 14, 2006

This review is from: The Ultimate Star Trek Collection (DVD)

Right after Christmas 04, the price for season 1 of the x-files dropped from about $100 to $35. I grabbed it off amazon. 2 weeks later, it was back up to $100. Now a year later, the price is dropping again and it looks like for good. The behind the scenes story here is pretty easy to read: The marketers set the price high (like an overpriced house) and hoped it would sell and probably sold few. Then finally the price dropped, thousands of x-heads like me grabbed it cheap. The price went back up and it didn't sell. It took another year for the marketers to figure out the x-files season dvd's will not sell for a premium price.

Right after Christmas 06 the price for seasons 1 - 3 of TNG was cut in half. I own them now. Seasons 4 - 7 are still sky high and actually getting higher. But they won't sell. Fans aren't stupid. We'll wait until the marketers wise up and price this stuff reasonably. Until then, we'll watch seasons 1, 2 & 3 over and over again.
