New STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES Blu-ray Steelbooks Arrive

˙

Back in June we previewed a new set of Star Trek: The Original Series Steelbooks coming for this year’s 55th Anniversary, and we’ve finally gout our hands on them after a few weeks of manufacturing delays.

Rescheduled from early September to an October 26 release date due to some production delays, the twenty-disc classic Star Trek Blu-ray set finally arrives next week in a fancy repackaging of the 2009 high-definition remastering.

While the discs themselves are nothing new — they contain all 79 Original Series episodes (along with the standard and ‘extended’ version of “The Cage”) in high definition, with both “original” and “remastered” visual effects options — the new packaging is the draw for this release, as each season is clad in hearty metal cases in a stylish outer cardboard sleeve.

Each Steelbook holds 6 or 7 discs with stacker hubs to hold four discs on each side, and the outer design of each features a collection of photos and screencaps from the Original Series along with slashes of Starfleet gold, blue and red.

The 2009-era HD picture quality is starting to show its age, and the remastered visual effects are not exactly state-of-the-art anymore — maybe we can get a new 4K remastering for the 60th anniversary in 2026.

If you’ve already got the Original Series on Blu-ray, the new packaging might be a draw for you to upgrade from the old plastic packaging — but while it’s nice to look at, there’s nothing really new here to make the splurge worth your while otherwise.

But if you’re a Steelbook collector like us, this new collection will fit in just great on your media shelf.

The 55th Anniversary Star Trek: The Original Series Blu-ray Steelbook collection is available for preorder now and arrives for collectors on October 26.
