[http://www.trektoday.com/news/260903\_01.shtml](http://www.trektoday.com/news/260903_01.shtml) Every single ST:TNG episode ever made. 48 DVDs. In a Borg cube. Only Region 2 so far, but I can’t imagine they won’t do a Region 1 version eventually. ---

Paramount doesn’t think we’d pay a couple of dollars extra for the hardshell cases the individual series sets are being sold in Europe. I doubt they’d try to sell this thing. [Next Generation example](http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006J9U8/qid=1064778988/sr=1-6/ref=sr_1_3_6/202-6525773-3583801) [Deep Space Nine example](http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00008RH8I/qid=1064778988/sr=1-5/ref=sr_1_3_5/202-6525773-3583801) The DS9 sets are slightly better in that they have eliminated to multi-fold inner box and replaced it with a hinged stack of 6-7 clears plastic trays. I have the whole TNG series and am up to season four of DS9. These boxes will last a long longer than the chaepo cardboard boxes being sold in North America. ---

I will add its uniqueness to my collection of DVDs. If Santa will cooperate. ---

Only 1000 copies worldwide? Do they think it’ll sell that badly, or are they trying to make it a collector’s item? ---

Well, they are selling it for 500 pounds. That’s like $750. For seven seasons that’s what, $107 + tax per season? Sweet jesus, man. That’s, well… many. ---
