They rejected me the first time I emailed, but I wrote back, and whoever I was talking to said something to the effect of "I'm doing this AGAINST POLICY" and all that jazz... but I got my way. Bitching and moaning always does the trick
I'm upset I haven't been able to dig into this DVD yet. Oddly enough, it crashes my computer sometimes. Anyone else have problems?
Mine finally arrived today.
I have a copy on the way, but I didn't order it until after the price had dropped. I actually ordered it for someone else, but if I get a chance to peruse it before sending it on, it may have to get "lost in transit."
Wait. Was that out loud?

Rats, why did it have to be that one? It was awful. Why not one of the Alan Dean Foster stories?
And the McCoy voice on that record sounds more like George W. Bush.
"Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not an archeologist. I need to get back to the ship so that I can practice my love on my patients."
Is that an actual line from the comic?
Nah, he's paraphrasing our not-so-illustrious Commander in Chief.
I've discovered one more omission from the DVD. It has most of the DC trade-paperback collections, with their celebrity introductions, but it's missing the TPB of The Modala Imperative, which had an introduction by Walter Koenig. Fortunately I still have that TPB, but I wonder why it was left out of the DVD.
Alright, so I got mine yesterday and zipped through the first three issues. Considering what information the writers had at the time of publication, I have to hand it to them for creating three engaging stories. Sure, killer plants is kinda Lost in Space-ish, but it's still good fun.
I'm having a great time seeing all the little inconsistencies between actual Trek and these early incarnations. Talking in tricorders, for instance. Makes me chuckle over dinner.

Is the dvd missing just the WK introduction or the whole trade?
The whole trade. It has the individual issues, though.
Wow, I was going to pre-order this and then got caught up in work, family, house, authoring and life in general and totally forgot to. Glad I waited/forgot 
Though I have all of the Gold Key and I am pretty good on other similar vintage comics, I am weak on some of the trade paper comics, the Malibu comics and other more recent stuff. So I am still excited to get this collection on DVD
Heading over to Amazon in a few to place an order...

I just received shipping notification on mine.

Being in Australia, last week I organised my Amazon copy to be sent to a penpal in Florida, who'll forward it to me with my next batch of ST action figures. I received an Amazon notification that it's on its way to him.
I pre-ordered with a Sydney-based comic shop six months ago, and they have definitely stocked previous releases by the company making this ST collection, but it sounds to me like this order won't get processed (due to the "not for export" line people noticed in the Diamond catalog). If I end up with two copies I'm sure I'll find a buyer for the spare.
