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

I bought this as a Birthday Present as my husband who is a Sci-Fi fanatic who didn't have this item in his outstanding collection as it was "too expensive to buy before," but this set was at an exceptional price compared to previous prices, so it was a win-win all round.

The media could not be loaded. I brought this because I have beenlistening to the life story of Patrick Stewart.I have not cryed so much and been so happy and sad.The storys though out have so much life expereince's the blue screens are wonderful. All the Actors are fantastic.Thanks you to all concerned.

Back in the day I bought the VHS tapes as they came out. By the end of the show's run I had two 8 foot shelves filled with the things. Then along came DS9 and then Voyager... I had to stop buying them because they simply took up too much space. When DVDs came along I threw away my old VHS collection and never replaced them... until now.This collection is great. The entire box set, containing all seven seasons, fits into a shelf space 10.6cm wide - i.e. the same as 7 standard DVD cases.As to the content, it's mainly just the episodes, there isn't much in the way of extras. E.g. no commentaries that I've found so far, just the odd special or retrospective on the final disc of the season - but I'm not through all the seasons yet. Picture quality is generally acceptable, a couple of episodes have degraded blacks and have lost some definition. It's hard to believe that such an important show might have been recorded on a lossy video stock! In fact I'm surprised, because I thought ST:TNG was filmed. I guess not. Still, I'm happy - I can watch all the episodes again, and it doesn't cost me 16 feet of shelf space!

An excellent series with Picard & his team. Nice to have the complete season in one.

The disks have been recorded well and have been labelled in order to prevent confusion, and the cases look good. The only problem that I have encountered ia that rhe cases are difficult to use, as in some cases the disks need to be pulled quite hard for them to come out, and the way the disks are organized means that in some cases more than 3 disks need to be taken out to access one.

The best way to get the entire 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' is to buy this DVD box set. It's a much better re-release than the cardboard original release. People complained that with the original release the discs kept moving or falling out, plus that the discs could get scratched this way too. With this particular re-release you get a sturdy outer box and three wider than normal DVD cases inside. If you intend to get the whole collection 'Star Trek: The Original Series' , 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' , 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine', 'Star Trek: Voyager' and 'Star Trek: Enterprise', then, you can't really go wrong buying them this way. It saves a lot of storage space and they look great on the shelf. I don't think these seasons have been released better than this. Plus with 'Star Trek' celebrating it's 50th anniversary next year, it's the perfect way to get them all just before.

I'm only on season two of Star Trek TNG. But it is as good as I remember from the TV. Having it on DVD is better as I can pause it if I need to get up for any reason.The only thing I don't like is the packaging. The plastic box the disks come in has them stacked on clips that they fall off of. The inner disk flaps?/pages? are also difficult to turn.

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!
