Borg Mega Cube: Star Trek The Next Generation: Seasons 1-7 - Limited Edition [1990]

£799.99

Less than £50 a set! - I receieved my borg cube a few days ago and I finally have all the Star Trek series boxsets currently available. THe packaging itself leaves a bit to be desired as it doesn t match up to the quality of the individual box set packaging as the cube itself is made of cardboard and rather than being painted on, the borg cube pattern seems to be some sort of paper stuck on.However, if you re anything like me you didn t buy the cube for it s packaging but for the opportunity to buy all seven seasons of the Next Generation (in much better individual packaging) for the fantastically low price that amazon are offering, it works out less than £50 a season!Although Star Trek is shown on Sky regularly nothing beats being able to watch any episode you like and impress your friends and family with the way these sets look on your bookcase.So buy it while you can and maybe follow my example of keeping the cube itself in the amazon box somewhere safe just in case it does become a real collectors item and enjoy your box sets!Happy Trekking!

Great series, nice price, shame about the packaging - I don t have much to say about the contents of the box - if you re even contemplating buying this then you know what you can expect. Great series, one of my favourite of all time, and well worth £400+.The problem? The rather worth-less-than-£400 packaging containing the disks. OK, so the plastic-metal holders for each series is alright, average even, but there is NO excuse for placing them in such a flimsy cardboard box covered with easily rippable paper.I don t want this to be a totally negative review, but I can t help but feel that for £380 I deserve HINGES on the box rather than a rather gimpy folding box! I do admit though - what it contains is far more important than the packaging. 7 series of one of the finest sci-fi series ever made.....time for some popcorn methinks!

Resistance is futile! - 0674 of 1000 arrived today. Early.My office-mates watched wide eyed as I removed the Borg Cube from its packaging.This has to be the best boxed set ever. There are not enough superlatives to describe it.Having seen almost every episode, I am looking forward to watching them again, and filling in any blanks!I see already there are cubes up for auction... Tsk. This is a collectors item, for geeks and trekkies to enjoy for years to come. Hordes of aliens could not part me from this collection!

The Borg Cube - Worth the money? - I know what you re thinking.£340 is a lot of money. And you re right. But if, like me, you re a huge Star Trek TNG fan, and you don t own any or many of the series on DVD yet, I think you should certainly consider it.I bought this collection because TNG is probably my favourite all-time TV series. I grew up with it and for ages I ve been making poor recordings on video and lately dvd-r. I d had enough. The fact that I didn t own any of it on proper dvd, and that this represented a saving on buying seperately, clinched the decision for me.Basically, this is one of those things that is only worth it if you really are a big big fan. But you don t need me to keep telling you that so I ll get on with describing what arrived here today, which will hopefully give you any more information you need.Keep the amazon box it ships in - it will protect it. The Borg box does not have the durability of the vessel it represents. It s printed cardboard and will damage easily if treated carelessly. It s not the greatest quality (I d have at least expected a proper metal hinge for the lid) which is a shame but I don t think it s about to fall apart. The clock at least is well protected, and the collectors card was fine. By the way mine is number 134/1000 so if yours is too Paramount s been naughty! :)There are seven plastic boxes for each series, each containing six discs, with four episodes on each. As far as I can tell they are exactly the same as the ones you buy individually.I was a bit surprised to find the Series 2 sleeve was in German, a careless packaging error from someone who does Paramount s stuff. A couple of the series cases also have annoying little scratches due to cheaply painted plastic and Series 5 was missing shrink wrapping, though the dvd bundle inside was still sealed. Maybe it s just me, but I get the impression some of these plastic Series boxes have been doing the rounds a bit before being grouped together for one last sale. It doesn t bother me because I m not that fussy about these things and I plan to keep the set forever, but I know some people are different and if you re going to do otherwise may I suggest you check all your boxes carefully and reject if they are not in good condition. At this price that is certainly your right, and Paramount should be doing better.The discs themselves are brilliant. The menus are well-designed and the picture quality, especially on the earlier episodes, appears to be superior to that on the TV broadcasts.As others have said I don t need to review the contents. If you re thinking of buying this you know what you re getting. I thought it more important to concentrate on the presentation, which is good, but not without niggles. I ve just sat here and watched Contagion , and I wouldn t change my mind now. I m still glad that this has finally come out as a single collection.I know what you re thining again. If you want it, and can afford it, go for it!

What I ve been waiting for! - I was just thinking about to buy all seasons of Star Trek TNG, and then I saw this box! I was price checking different shops and it seems like Amazon.co.uk is the only online shop who has this box.As for me, who s in Sweden the total price for the 7 seasons would almost be the double (compared to this box). So this box is perfect! I made my pre-order today.
