But I didn't see any TOS, at any price.  In fact, the last time I saw it there, it was at the full price of about $89 or so.

Around here they've been selling TOS at $155 to $189 (Cdn) per season.  They have dropped that in half.

I have all three seasons of TOS and like 4 and 6 of DS9.  Need to pick up season 7 of DS9 to get the Dominion War stuff.  I liked that! 

I also need to get finish buying all the movies on DVD.

You need get season 5 and 6 in addition to 7 to get all of Dominion war stuff. season 5 is more like the prelude to the war, tells the story of Cardassia joining the dominion and the demise of the marquis among other things,  culminating in the season finale "Call to Arms", one of my fav ep, when domion/cardassion fores take ds9. Really great stuff, highly recomended, you wont be dissapointed. It's a good time to get this stuff now, a used copy of season 6 and 7 start from like 20 something bucks on amazon.

I have to recover from getting TNG seasons 1-3, 6, 7 to my old seasons 4 and 5.  (My kids wanted them.  No one believes me.)

But I'd really rather get them new.

Actrually they are new, at least season 7 is. even though it is located in the used category but labeled new by the seller. right now it starts from $27. I actually bought my copies that way, they were either new or like new, but in great shape and some of them still  in shrinwrap.

EDIT:forgot to mention in the previous post that dominion storyline, not the war itself, but first dealings with the dominion  start in the second season finale "Jem Hadar". and continue in season 3 and 4 leading eventually to the war. Getting these seasons isnt a mustif you are not a fan of the show,but they will give a better understanding of whats going. you can probably find a brief summary of events that tok place in these seasons on the web and avoid getting them . I just thought i'd post this so you can make an informed decision when figuring out what season to get and what not to get.

Thanks for the background.  I did watch DS9 solidly until some things about it irked me and I quit until the Dominion War heated up, so I have a decent idea as to the story arcs floating about in it.  Though, I must admit, I was surprised to find back then that Worf killed Gowron and I missed that particular ep.  One day, I guess, I'll catch it.

Yes, it is ironic that Worf wound up killing Gowron, considering that he was the one who played a crucial role in helping him become chancellor 8 or so years earlier. For a true klingon, an Worf is undoubtedly a true klingon, despite his human upbringing, the empire always comes first. This is truly one of the best moments in the whole trek history, in my opinion anyway. Hopefully you'll get a chance to catch it soon.
