I was thinking of picking it up this weekend but I've lost Trek (sic) of all the different releases for the original movies.

No it doesn't. I do believe you can buy them in sets though. They sure look pretty and sound phenomenal.

That's the way i bought them. Individually as new restorations. The Picard films really don't need anything doing to them restoration wise as they look and sound great anyway.

I also have the digital 4k editions on my apple account which look fantastic. The blus don't look bad at all but the new remasters look better.

I'm not sure what versions are in the Picard set though, but 4k box sets have the blurays in as well.

It was the white box I was looking at but it says the release date was 2019 on Amazon, so I was hopeful it would be up to date.

The UHDs are a little price prohibitive at the moment so I think I'll wait it out a little longer.

It's just a re-packed set, I got mine in the Black Friday sales in 2015, it's one of those chunky boxes with a slip cover on it, they've probably slimmed it down so it uses less plastic.

The individual films are going to be a lot more expensive to buy, although you could pick up one or two a month until you have them all, but I don't think you'll be upset if you pay 30 for the older box set.

@Rob4

The Blu-rays of the 2021 restorations are currently at $5.99 (four of them) and $6.79 (two of them) on Amazon for the Kirk films.

That's $37.54 for the six whereas two 4K's would set you back practically as much at $36.

If you really wanted them on 4K and were a real fan you'd already have them. Meanwhile the blu-ray's look and sound fantastic. They also look good on the shelf together with the Picard set i posted above

Thanks Dem, I hadn't considered individual purchases, but that looks the way to go.

I do like the movies, especially Khan, but I think bluray is good enough for me.

Amazon have a lot of Arrow titles reduced. To match Arrows own sale I guess.

Wonderful Noir thriller.

There is a small selection of Criterion titles on Sale at HMV. Only one I want is Scorsese's The Irishman which is still too much for me at ?19.99.

When a sale price is still more expensive than most of your rivals new releases but I'm guessing Criterion Films must sell at that prices that are set otherwise, they would be dropping more.

I'm waiting for La Bamba to drop to a more suitable price range for me

The Warner Archive release of Children of the Damned is ?8.74 on Amazon.
