TOS season sets are $83 at Costco. During the holiday season, Costco had a 3 season combo for $170. (or somewhere around that price)

But how many of those 1 hour shows look as good as ST:TOS? Besides, "demand" dictates the price... if no one wanted to pay $83 for a season of ST:TOS, then there would be a warehouse full of unsold merchandise. I think it is well worth the price and was happy to pay that to have the complete series in a compact, high quality transfer, on durable media.

I adore TOS, but my breaking point is $69.99 per season (new).

I've already got all 21 seasons of modern Trek, but if they do release another themed release for TNG, I can see them doing the Klingon-centric episodes. I can't remember how many there were, but I believe it's about 7 or 8.
