Star Trek: The Picard Legacy Collection Blu-ray review
Nov 08, 2023- Permalink
Paramount is releasing Star Trek: The Picard Legacy Collection Blu-ray, a limited-edition box set that collects everything that the beloved Starfleet character Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) has starred in. Combining TV shows and movies with a bunch of fun collectibles, this set takes aim at Star Trek fans everywhere. I had a chance to take a look.
What does the set include? Let’s list everything:- 54 Blu-ray discs
- Star Trek: The Next Generation – Seasons 1-7
- Star Trek: Picard – Seasons 1-3
- Star Trek: Generations
- Star Trek: First Contact
- Star Trek: Nemesis
- Star Trek: Insurrection
- Magnetic Captain Picard badges
- 4 Custom Chateau Picard drink coasters
- Custom deck of playing cards
- The Wisdom of Picard: The Legacy Collection Edition book
- New Legacy Collection cover art
That’s pretty much everything except a cup of tea with Patrick Stewart himself. The set is hefty, and I’m pretty sure I had to remember the ol’ lift with the knees advice when I picked up the FedEx box at the door. The set is packed into a sturdy black cardboard box with a red lid with gold lettering. You first see The Wisdom of Picard, a small hardcover book with new artwork and quotes. You get a set of badge magnets, drink coasters and a set of playing cards. The first two plastic cases contain Star Trek: The Next Generation, another holds Star Trek: Picard – The Complete Series, while the final case holds Star Trek: The Next Generation – 4-Movie Collection. All the enclosed materials have excellent Blu-ray audio and video presentations and contain over 35 hours of previously released bonus materials.
The movie and show elements of the Star Trek: The Picard Legacy Collection Blu-ray set are available individually, so who is this set for? If you or someone on your gift list is a huge fan of Jean-Luc Picard and you’re looking for a centrepiece for their physical media shelf, the case and collectibles make this a fun buy. In one fell swoop, you have Picard and his crew’s full adventures with great audio, video and supplementary features plus some fun Picard-related tchotchkes.
