The extras are nice; video quality enhancements are superbly done.

If you are expecting a raw dump of reels of outtake footage, this set is not for you. The documentaries are more than informative. They put in context the outtake footage shown. Important historical notes are included, some of which were only hearsay until this set came out, displaying the evidence for all to see. The interviews are fascinating, nostalgic and revelatory. Some of the outtakes are astonishing, including evidence that the infamous scripted coda for “Who Mourns For Adonais” was actually filmed.

There are hints that there is yet more footage to be released, and therein lay my only want, that this set had contained more found footage. In this I will have to trust the editors/curators.

The episodes chosen for this set are available with both original and remastered effects, but included are special features not seen on the Original Series’ Blu-Ray first release: audio commentaries on three episodes, as well as isolated music scores on ten of them. Those features make this set nearly worth the purchase without the Vault material.

Are you an Original Series Star Trek fan, who loves to learn about what went on behind the scenes? Don’t hesitate. Get this set!

If you have the Full Series blu ray this feels like a double dip, the extras are OK but somewhat lack luster. But if you just want some Greatest hits type Blu ray It’s definitely great quality and a good mix of Classic TOS episodes.

Just recieved my Roddenbury Vault box set as I write this review Im in tears of joy as for the high quality and care that was put into this reboot idea of the original series

Im hoping that Paramount contnues with this high quality reboot for all 3 seasons of the originals and improves on the same idea for
next generation Deep space 9 star trek voyager

sound and picture is like a theatre screen blu ray quality verry impressed

hope to see more box sets reboots in same high quality keep it coming paramount im using a blue ray LG dvd player looks fantastic on my Samsung 42 inch

Excellent collection! Hope they release another set for the Third season.

The Roddenberry Vault blu-ray collection is great. I love seeing the never before seen video from TOS Star Trek, especially shots of the Enterprise model. My complaint was that there wasn’t enough out-takes and alternate scenes. You would thing that there are more than enough old unseen footage available that CBS Video could have devoted the entire three disk collection with never before seen Star Trek, without having to pad the disks with remastered episodes.

I don’t buy everything Star Trek. I bought this. It is WONDERFUL. You can read what it has and read everyone’s thoughts and you can read mine: this will provide you with a nice weekend’s worth of enjoyment and ‘OMG I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY HAVE THAT!”
And you’ll want more.

I offer this criticism from a LONG-time TOS-fan. OVERpriced. All of the features would have easily fit on a single, reasonably priced, disc. Yet Paramount/CBS, which has been selling TOS-episodes over and over again since the VHS-days, cannot resist it’s decades-old impulses to cash in on TREK’s fans in the most blatant ways possible – as evidenced by this collection. Unless you’re in a hurry to buy this, like I did (lol), perhaps it’s best to wait until it’s price-reduced or released in a single-disc edition.

I’m only halfway through, but I have to say this is a wonderful set. Personally, I could just watch hours of the lost footage, but I understand that this may not be as marketable as what they came out with. As with other DVD/BR Trek releases, I found it a little light on the commentary tracks, but the go-to is really the documentaries.

And if you are hard-pressed getting the complete BR set of TOS, this is an excellent collection of greatest hits.

Star Trek Nirvana! To see scenes filmed and never included in the series original NBC broadcasts was jaw-dropping Trek Goodness!
Clarifies some episodes better with the deleted scenes revealed. My only caveat is they could not find it in their heart to include the original bloopers and NBC promos of the 1966-69 seasons. Do not know what the holdup is on that front.
Truly the icing on the cake was the FX work on the 11 foot Enterprise, filmed with a finer grain and slower film,which preserved the color and detail for FX work. Truly awesome to see effects filmed of her, but never used in the series production run.
True snapshot of the amalgamated talent which brought Star Trek to its place in TV history. Gene Roddenberry’s vision and guidance, Gene Coon and other’s hand in crafting our Trekdom for 50 years! I could not be anymore proud to of loved her since 1966.

Worth every penny if only to see Uhura sing Beyond Antares in its entirety! A lot of great stuff in here. This is the holy grail of Star Trek fandom. I highly recommend!
