Will need to inspect the set more closely, before rating it, pricing it and putting it up for sale . I will take some pictures tomorrow; swamped at Haema at the moment ![Sad :-(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif) And still need to do two autopsies later... TR is still sealed, will remain so, and is not up for sale ! Can take some pictures if you like ![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif) bibi, lucas.

laserpaal wrote: It must be really nice to have the complete seasons of ST:TNG on laserdiscs. But I don't understand why people is eager to own an inferior complete seasons set in terms of video quality, when you can have it in superior HD nowadays. Is there anything I have been missing, apart from the esthetics part of having a gatefold cover or jacket? ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif) Perhaps I can answer this as my wife and I did a complete viewing of TOS and TNG this past year (on laserdiscs). We were going to watch the new updated HD versions but upon viewing clips of the new remastered HD versions, two simple facts came to light immediately: "This does not look like what I remember when watching it as a kid" and "Oh look, they're using CGI there." I was a young kid in the 80's so I only saw TOS in reruns, but I was watching TNG as it was airing so I have a pretty good recollection of the series. I don't mind that they updated the video to HD quality, that's actually cool. However, the CGI completely ruins it for me. This is especially true in TOS which just pulls me out of the narrative when I see some cheap cardboard sets and then a quick cut to some ultra detailed CGI wide shot or spaceship. I found this to be true in TNG as well. Every time the Enterprise enters orbit there is a new fancy ultra-realistic planet surface with water, continents, clouds moving... Ah,.. that's not the TNG I remember. Again, it completely pulls that nostalgic feeling out of the experience. Some things are better left alone. I know that some don't mind that CGI millennium falcon flying through cloud city in Empire, but it always bothers me because I saw star wars 100 times before that was added in the late 90's and I instinctively know "it's not supposed to be there". I'm not against CGI or HD. However, I find it jarring to see obvious CGI mixed in with classic effects. The shift is not subtle in most cases and this detracts from the experience.

Thanks for clarifying the question, Invenio. Well, I'm too young to have experienced the unaltered Star Trek TNG at the very first screening, apart from watching the complete series a few years ago on DVD. Star Trek Voyager was actually the first Star Trek show I grew up with. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Nice summary, been keeping an eye out for season 4 & 5 of voyager jp that I really want. Never seen them in Europe. When they pop up here mostly the shipping from us is very high.
Maybe I should just import them through some proxy bidding instead..
