There’s good news for all of the Trekkies who don’t have the money to buy 28 season box sets at $100 each. There are now “Fan Collective” box sets which group episodes around a theme. Unofficially, this was started with the Jean-Luc Picard Collection.

Pardon the banner ad, but it was a faster way to link to these:

The Borg Collective features the following 14 episodes:
Regeneration (from Enterprise), Q Who?, The Best of Both Worlds pts 1 and 2, I Borg, Descent pts 1 and 2 (all from Star Trek: The Next Generation), Scorpion pts 1 and 2, Drone, Dark Frontier, Unimatrix Zero parts 1 and 2, Endgame (all from Star Trek: Voyager)

Upcoming Collective Box Sets will center on Time Travel and Q.

One goofy and aggravating element is that there’s a lot of double-dipping forced on the buyer. Tthe Voyager episode “Endgame” qualifies as both Borg and Time Travel, and so is in both sets. Similarly, “All Good Things…” is both a time travel and a Q episode, and is on both sets. (And it qualifies as two episodes.) And just for good measure, “Q Who?” is both a Q and a Borg episode. If you buy all three collectives, you’ll have duplicates of all those episodes.
