The Horror of being a Trek DVD Fan.. (1 Viewer)

I never got my rebate, but I suspect it's because I moved while it was in the mail. For some reason, certain rebates can't be forwarded-it's the second time that's happened to me with a rebate-guess I should stop moving!

I just did a little math

A word of advice:
"Never do the math."

 

[John Berggren]

The price and the frequency of the Star Trek sets has me looking for seasons 5-7 of TNG for a good used price, and skipping DS9 and Voyager, which I might have considerred otherwise.

When I can get Alias and Buffy for $40, I can't swallow Star Trek every 1.7 months at $100.

Anyone have a email address i could write to see about what happened to my rebate? I've not moved since I sent mine in.

I know it must be so hard to be a Star Trek fan...I mean, getting the movies out and all in the forms that you want them in is so trying on a person.

I mean, I love I LOVE LUCY, and it has been really difficult only getting two releases of four shows each to a disk every other month of so, and then finally getting a rehasing of the entire first season into a complete box and Lord only knows how long it will take to get Season Two out (of a show that is responsible for giving production birth to your show...)

Let's see, you all got what, STNG all in one year?

Oh yes, and the Peanuts series and movies...not only does Paramount now have the rights to the two movies that were Fox properties, but they want to hold onto them until whenever...we are lucky when we a get a holiday release to come out let alone what we have been asking for.

Oh Friday the 13th...sorry...dead horse issue right?

What I am saying is...be happy that you all are getting what you all have been asking for and what makes you happy. Many of us out there are still waiting for our pet titles to happen in a form that we have requested....

If only I had this problem with the Simpsons.

Well, the TNG discs were also in authoring back in 2000. It's not like they cranked them all out in 1 year

 

[DeathStar1]

In the process of opening the cumbersome packaging with the inadequate disc retaining clips, disc four in the set popped out of the nacelle, because the retaining clip had broken off previously. Stupidly, I slid the disc back into place before reaching for disc seven. Instantly I realized my idiotic mistake.>>>

One more reason why I've been glad to purchase the 7 Disc Holding Amaray cases. Not really space saving, but they do have the easy pop in, pop out disc retainers that look sturdy enough not to break. I can't remember if it was the Trek Discs, or the Simpson discs that had terrible disc holders, and I was afraid that I was going to break the disc in half trying to get the thing out of it's casing...

But I wonder, would Paramount replace one damaged disc if you have the receipt?

 

[Britton]

In my utopian society, all the studios would implement a system where they would sell you each individual disc of a boxed set for a decent price, depending on the MSRP of the entire set. Basically, you would send in your bad disc and they would ship you a replacement for a fee. People who never bought the boxed set would not be able to take part in the program so the studios wouldn't be cheated out of sales.

"Never do the math."

Best advice ever.

Well, if you think your prices are bad, try buying these series in the dear old UK. :frowning:

In fact, I haven't bothered buying them. Sure, I like them, but:

(a) cost
(b) the presence of Wesley in the first few series of TNG
(c) cost
(d) episodes are on a couple of times a day on satellite TV
(e) cost


The only thing I'm buying is the box set of double episodes from TNG due out in R2 later this year (and I'll fast-forward through any section with Wesley).
