Are the discs stacked?

[AndyDursin]

They are.

[Monterey Jack]

They are.

Skip...!

[AndyDursin]

No reason to. The discs have always had some issues across every release, stacked or not stacked but these have worked well for me. Could be the newer pressing.

[Monterey Jack]

Stacked discs increase the likelihood of scratches exponentially.

[AndyDursin]

Yeah I don't buy that. OCD message boarders losing their minds.

If there's a problem it's with the pressing not the packaging. The regular release in its original box had more issues for me (and a lot of people) than this does. The newer the pressing the better off you probably are.

Thank you for the head's up, Andy - I picked this up!

My brother bought a set of original series blu-rays used but they are the ones with new CGI effects. I watched a few episodes but much prefer the old special effects (low-budget though they were). I also don't care for the new sound mix on my brother's discs -sometimes it's difficult to understand the dialogue. I've purchased a few episodes on Vudu, which offers the original series episodes with the old special effects, and the sound (dialogue, effects, music, etc.) is clear as a bell.

You can choose which version you want with these Chris -- flip from the old versions to the new versions. The price is right and the Steelbooks are very attractive

The Star Trek Original Series BLu-Ray release has, admittedly, always had technical issues with some players. With the previous standalone release a lot of people reported issues and I experienced a freeze on my Panasonic player. I put the disc in my backup Sony and it worked fine (I have 2 players hooked up to keep mileage off the Panasonic 4K machine!). That kind of thing has long been prevalent.

When I received this new Steelbook set I went to the glitchy sequence and it was fine even on the Panasonic, so even though the disc content has never changed, you are getting a newer pressing that (hopefully) has fewer glitches than the other versions.

My only real gripe was the episode list is on a tiny piece of paper on the outside...I scanned it and blew it up slightly, then put a copy in each steelbook.

Great news! I am looking forward to getting this set. Thank you again, Andy!
