    I came across a listing on Ebay for Space Seed/The Changeling that is *not* the pre-cert release, but rather the later 2 episode per tape with the transporter pad background on the cover. It is Australian.

    I realise there were many different releases, however I'm curious because I thought the transporter background cover was only production order?

    On a second note, is buying/selling against the rules on here? Reason I ask, is I'm always after the rarer early VHS/Betamax that were released, but fully understand if here is not the place for discussion.

    I remember these coming out around the time of Wrath of Khan and I rented a few which included the four unshown episodes in the UK! I copied them :shifty: but wasn't happy with Whom Gods Destroy and Plato's Stepchildren (who would have guessed?) and erased them but I kept the others! Back then you never knew if the show would ever be shown again or if it would be available in the shops as the video explosion had only just started really! The quality of the picture wasn't bad but had the annoying habit of dropping out and the reds looked like glowing vests on the security guys! :lol:

    Absolutely no one on this forum. (Sadly broken Matt Decker voice) No one!
