Has there been any news about a TOS re-release (perhaps for the 40th anniversary)?
I have the 40-volume, 2-episode-per-disc releases that came out before the three season sets.
What exactly are the differences between those discs and the later sets? I've heard that the earlier discs have problems (like missing scenes/sound effects, etc.)?
Anyway, I've been hesitant to upgrade to the season sets because:
1. They're in airdate order, and I kinda like to watch the evolution of the series in production order.
2. The lack of the preview trailers at the end of the episodes (they're viewable as spearate extras, instead), and the lack of blooper reels, deleted footage, etc. (Personally, I'd love to see a release with all of those things, as well as the scripts).
3. The PRICE!!!! $130 a season! Frankly, that's outrageous. Is the high cost due to the packaging or something? For any other show (CSI, Buffy, Sanford and Son, etc.) you can get a full season for $40-$60.
Any thoughts? Should I get the TOS season sets, or wait for a possible re-release/markdown?
What would the "perfect" TOS release have?
