Link here. Temporarily out of stock though, worth a try.

Under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard the all new Enterprise NCC 1701-D travels out to distant planets to seek out new life and to boldly go where no one has gone before...

This box set features every episode from all seven series.

Amazing price - these seem to retail at about 20yoyo for each season seperately. I might just be tempted

Sad Professor · 22-12-2008 2:02pm

It would be an even better deal if Play let us pay in sterling.

jayteecork · 22-12-2008 2:17pm

Nice. Every single episode ever for 70 notes? can't be bad.

Only just bought the full series at just those prices. But still don't think 20yoyo is that much for a full season.

Now looking for a real cheap copy of all the Voyager series and I don't mean "copy"

ixtlan · 22-12-2008 5:32pm

Good price... but remember that from Play this may be stopped by customs.

KTRIC · 22-12-2008 5:46pm

I remember the original release of this and it was 5 or 6 hundred !!! :eek:

Way to stick the 'fear' into the people waviering as to if they should get it or not.

I've ordered from play.com for years, ordering things ranging from cables to an Xbox 360 HD DVD drive sent by courier and not once have I ever been charged a penny over what play.com charged my card. It is very, very rare and close to mythical occurence.

22-12-2008 9:47pm

The size of this package would be suspicous though ,compared to standard play orders.

robulus · 22-12-2008 10:04pm

Cheers Ruu! - but 20th anniversary....god, I'm getting old! 8-(

It happened to me last week.

My Xbox 360 HD DVD drive was bigger than a shoebox and it was sent by courier and no customs were charged.

To add to that, I had a copy of Guitar Hero: World Tour bundled with a guitar sent by regular post (by HMV.com) a few weeks ago and nothing was charged on it, and packages don't come much bigger than that.

I don't dispute that it happens, but it's a very hit-and-miss affair - it's very much mostly 'miss', and the few dissenting voices drown out the fact that it's not particularly likely, no matter the size.

I don't work in retail and I'm not trying to scare anyone! I agree that it's mostly miss, but it's certainly not a "close to mythical occurence". See here in this thread we have one response that it happened to the OP?!

Where does hmv.com ship from? Obviously if it's the UK or anywhere in the EU there are no customs issues. Play is different because it ships from Jersey which is technically outside the EU.

Personally I'll buy from Play and others like them if the package is under €22, and otherwise I'll buy from Amazon or other EU retailers where I don't have to worry about the possibility (however small) of a customs charge.

And £139 That seems like a fair price considering the current exchange rate :mad:

Currently £12.98 per season on Amazon.co.uk. That's only £90.86 which at current exchange rate is only €94.24.
Not sur about delivery though, will have to check.

Preset No.3 · 30-12-2008 12:28am

Just ordered this now on Play.com at €69.99! Sweet

Ruu_Old · 30-12-2008 1:22am

Nice one, let us know if it arrives.

Yakuza · 30-12-2008 9:44am

I placed an order on the 23rd, it was at status "Order Taken" for the last week, has just gone to "packing"...looks hopeful! Will post when (if) it arrives.

center15 · 30-12-2008 11:04am

Just got an email saying this has shipped

spockety · 30-12-2008 1:35pm

Just ordered it now, says "in stock" on the web site.

That is an unbelievable price for the amount of content you are getting.

qwertz · 30-12-2008 3:19pm

When ordering from Ireland are you forced to pay their euro price (€69.99) or can you pay the euro-equivalent of their sterling price (£49.99)?

Edit: Found the answer myself.

themonk · 30-12-2008 4:49pm

mine shipped today too .. fingers crossed this wont get stopped for vat:P

Cmar-Ireland · 31-12-2008 7:24pm

That's not from play themselves though, it's from a "PlayTrader"

yawnstretch · 03-01-2009 1:57am

Sweet! Thanks for this OP - I didn't reply until now as I only made the order on New Years - status is "packing" I thought I'd missed out on the 69 euro job. Can't wait. What a deal! Hope I don't get stung for customs :P

muppetkiller · 03-01-2009 2:10am

Using http://www.find-dvd.co.uk you can get most seasons of the next gen for between 10-13 euro anyway

Just to say... this arrived this morning. Nice one Ruu. Legend.

spockety · 06-01-2009 4:47pm

I got mine too... excellent.

Cmar-Ireland · 06-01-2009 5:39pm

How does the packaging look lads?
I've read about poor quality (flimsy) packing of the dvd's

Pfft, I'll never open it.. collectors item!!!

Looks ok to me...

Ghost Train · 07-01-2009 1:30am

The packageing box that play packed it in was open when I got the package... luckily the main box inside looks perfect. Haven't opened yet but it looks pretty on the outside

Cmar-Ireland · 07-01-2009 9:04am

Got mine yesterday, thanks for the heads-up Ruu :cool:

the groutch · 07-01-2009 2:00pm

mine came this morning

Alfie1 · 07-01-2009 2:46pm

Got an email from Play on Monday to say it had been shipped, arrived just now via courier in perfect condition & no extra charges

:cool:

Thanks OP

tho I was already watching it's price for a while

Cmar-Ireland · 07-01-2009 5:04pm

Oh yeah, forgot to say, no customs charges either !

DenMan · 07-01-2009 5:06pm

The greatest series of all time. Have to get that.

Preset No.3 · 07-01-2009 8:54pm

Got mine today. Wrapped boxset in a cardboard box, and in a standard delivery bag delivered by courier. Everything fine. Very happy with purchase.

Ghost Train · 07-01-2009 9:16pm

downloading 8000 minutes of startrek episodes might take a while

Yakuza · 09-01-2009 3:51pm

Mine came yesterday, but despite the cardboard box, the one side of it got a little damaged in transit, the green casing that holds special features DVD at the end of series 7 was cracked and broken in parts. I sorted it out with sellotape, though, so it's not too bad. I'm not going to worry about it, for 70 quid it was a bargain.

I had to lol at the approx running time: 7850 minutes

Cmar-Ireland · 09-01-2009 4:11pm

In fairness to Play, they are pretty good at sorting out damaged in transit items. Might be worth an email to them?
