I had not seen any of the remastered series (being too cheap to replace perfectly good discs) and I was blown away by it (and rather regret not having upgraded earlier!)<\/p>\n<p><em>The Animated Series<\/em> is a bit sharper in the Blu-Ray version.<\/p>\n<p>New special features are always welcome as are new interviews with different people involved in the series.<\/p>\n<p>The posters (10 1\/2&#8243; x 7&#8243;) are attractive and as a fan of Ortiz&#8217;s original series artwork, I enjoyed them. They are small enough to be displayed without taking up too much real estate.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d have preferred an insignia badge that had an actual pin as opposed to it being magnetic. I&#8217;m afraid that the badge would slip off unnoticed if one wore it in a crowd, such as at a convention. The badge is attractive and is solid and of good quality though.<\/p>\n<p>The box containing the badge isn&#8217;t designed well. The badge was not seen when the box was first opened as it had fallen to the bottom of the box.<\/p>\n<p>For those fans who haven&#8217;t upgraded to either Blu-ray or remastered, now is the time to do it with this new Blu-ray set. You get it all in one collection, for a reasonable price.<\/p>\n<p>To order your set, which sells at <em>Amazon<\/em> for $208.99, head to the link located <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Star-Anniversary-Movie-Collection-Blu-ray\/dp\/B01GRW4A64\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1473284285&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=star+trek+50\/TrekToday\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fans of the original series will surely be interested in a new Blu-ray set of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":44416,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2443],"tags":[6092,9016],"class_list":["post-44415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-merchandise","tag-review","tag-star-trek-50th-anniversary-blu-ray"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Trek30discR-090716.jpg",580,225,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Trek30discR-090716-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Trek30discR-090716.jpg",580,225,false],"medium_large":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Trek30discR-090716.jpg",580,225,false],"large":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Trek30discR-090716.jpg",580,225,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Trek30discR-090716.jpg",580,225,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Trek30discR-090716.jpg",580,225,false],"newsphere-slider-full":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Trek30discR-090716.jpg",580,225,false],"newsphere-featured":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Trek30discR-090716.jpg",580,225,false],"newsphere-medium":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Trek30discR-090716.jpg",580,225,false]},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/merchandise\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Merchandise<\/a>","tag_info":"Merchandise","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44415"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44415\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44423,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44415\/revisions\/44423"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
