^ Probably true. I kind of feel like a dunce for buying them but still want to be supportive of my favorite Trek show...

“A big thank you to everyone who joined the current Voyager documentary physical media production run.

“It’s been so meaningful to see the enthusiasm for these stories, reflections, and conversations from the Voyager cast and creative team after all these years.

It's possible that Amazon was approached but wasn't interested.
The Undiscovered Country
We are getting there.
I would assume they will have some extra copies run for future purchase. No news on that front yet though. I think they have all they can handle getting the backers their due!
If they're shipping
It still upsets me that I couldn't buy the DS9 documentary on blu-ray due to region coding.
No information on region coding. I think if they're shipping to the UK and US then that implies no coding... but it's a big gamble.

Unless they're making two separate versions, I doubt it will be region locked. But for anyone worried, best wait 'til someone gets theirs and can confirm.
The backer version had no region coding, I think the regular one was locked due to being released through Shout Factory. (Edit: Shout also produced the Backer disc, but presumably had to fulfill the original promise of an unlocked disc.) A crock that there has been no subsequent region-free release. But at least Shout released the doc for free on YouTube. (Not as good, but I'm sure more Niners have seen it than would have otherwise.) ...I'm rambling!!

A region-free Blu-ray player is a good investment these days.
Definitely. I have no faith in streamers. They can drop a title completely at their discretion and the consumer has little recourse. PRO being a prime example.
Yup, exactly. Plus, there are so many excellent disc releases coming out of Europe these days of movies I love, having that ability to view discs from around the world is essential.
I am buying some 4k discs, but not enough to warrant a multi region player. And I like that my ps5 is my player, it's just cleaner.
The better option would have been for the DS9 producers to not region lock it, because while I watched it at the cinema so have 'paid in', I just ended up using other sources for a home copy.

The UHD format is currently all-region. Blu-rays and DVDs can be locked to specific regions.
There was likely licensing issues that prevented Shout from making it an all-region disc.
Well yeah that's the only reason to region code really. They said they were planning to do a UK release but it never materialised. If they do then I'll buy it on a heartbeat. But i won't hold out hope as so much time has passed.
