A slightly different perspective, since I've been buying R2: the TNG sets are now substantially cheaper on Amazon.co.uk, about 39 pounds, as compared to the 50-60 quid upon release. Sadly, DS9 is still about 63 pounds, which together with the spike in the value of sterling has led me to hold off on buying Seasons 5-7 (I already have 1-4) in the forlorn hope that either the price will drop, or sterling will. But since I still haven't finished S1, I can wait...
I have no idea what Voyager will cost in R2, no doubt it will be equally overpriced and I will wait a long long time before considering. If the price has fallen by then, maybe.
On the other hand, I will buy TOS boxsets immediately upon release. (I never bought the individual releases.)
What Win Joy said earlier hit right close to the mark for me. I loved TOS and TNG, and enjoyed most of the movies. But the movie prices have always been high as well, and Paramount was pretty damn proud of the movie box set too. When TNG appeared on DVD I was very tempted, but I could never justify the pricing. Nothing has changed since then.
Put me in the camp of "If it was 50 - 60 bucks I'd buy it". I bought 24 S1 without seeing it on TV (well, I did Tivo them but my wife deleted several episodes), but I wouldn't have touched it for $100.
I might collect them all if the prices were in line with everything else. I never watched much of DS9 or Voyager but I'd at least give them a try. But not at the current price points.
I'm the same way. I bought the first 3 TNGs at around $95 each before I faced how insane that was. I've since been picking up TNGs and DS9s here and there when I see them cheap at second-hand stores. I've found them as low as $35. Takes a while to fill in the gaps, though!
