A few weeks earlier than I thought, was expecting early December.

My mate in LA who's done all the Blu-Ray mastering to date posted on his Facebook page that he'd started on Season 5 literally the same day that Season 4 went on sale in the USA.

From his point of view the turnaround time seems to be accellerating.

At this rate I imagine complete 1-7 sets may be available by Q3/4 of 2014.

I'm not sure about that. With The Original Series, the complete boxset was released over a year after Season 3 was released on blu. I'm guessing that they are hoping people will spend more money on the individual Seasons.

So if we get Season 6 March/April 2014 and Season 7 July/August 2014 you might have to wait until summer 2015 for the complete boxset

With the last season available mid-2014, wouldn't they jump on the opportunity to have a comple series set for Christmas 2014 ?

Maybe, but that would involve common sense

Yep, hopefully this time next year we will have season 6 and 7 plus an announcement on DS9.

Also, Amazon pre-order is now up at £42.10

DS9..... that would make me very happy

[CouncilSpectre]

The Season 6 set will give us a nice early look at what the station looks like in HD.

I had completely forgotten about this... I'm sure I did see Birthright years ago, but didn't remember. Good to know!

[Indiana Jones]

Damn good price...

About £23 delivered but be warned they take payment now.

[Thane]

That's insane... How are WOW HD though? Reliable? And for delivery time. Never used them before, apparently they're based in Hong Kong? Sad as it sounds, I'd be concerned about not getting a slip cover if I go with this and not Amazon, heh.

[Indiana Jones]

Less than a week to go, can't wait but before someone else mentions it this season has the most upscaled footage clocking in at almost two minutes spread over 2 episodes but at least that means 24 episodes will be 100% HD material.

[CouncilSpectre]

^^ Yeah, that really isn't an issue for me. It's a little over 2 minutes from over 1100 minutes. I can live with that.

The upscaled footage is from;

The First Duty - 37 seconds
Power Play - 1 minutes 41 seconds

A shame, but in context, I can live with it. Just looking forward to another great season. Season 5 is when I started buying the show on VHS back in the day.

Edit: Also, looks like there's some quality VAM this time around as well - 4 audio commentaries, over 7m worth of bloopers, some more quality docs and a reunion of the show's composers.

All in all, really can't wait for this.

[Indiana Jones]

Had my standalone Unification BD sent last Thursday so hoping that will appear anyday now, I know both parts are already in the Season 5 set but the exclusive commentary, doc and deleted scene sold me on it

To think only 2 years ago all we had was a short trailer for the sampler and that was it, by this time next year we should have all 7 seasons and hopefully a sampler or dare I hope Season 1 of DS9

[CouncilSpectre]

I'd be seriously p1ssed off if we don't get DS9 now. I think we will though, so hopefully a moot point.

My copy of Unification hasn't been dispatched yet, but I can wait. It'll give me something to watch while we wait for season 6!

[Indiana Jones]

Still no movement on my TNG Season 5 order with Amazon, why do they always leave it until the last possible minute to send out Monday deliveries yet Tesco will post on a Thursday and it will always arrive on time, sometimes even on the Saturday.

[Indiana Jones]

Just received Season 5 from Amazon
