Does anyone have news of 60th anniversary box sets?

I’m itching to completely upgrade and expand my Star Trek collection, (I have the DVDs of TOS, TNG and DS9 plus the blu rays of the reboot movies) but I resisted getting the blu rays this past Prime Day/Black Friday because the 60th anniversary is just around the corner.

If I am to ignore this year’s Prime Day/Black Friday deals, I need some certainty that I’m not waiting in vain.

Has anyone heard anything or are there any industry insiders with hints they’re willing to drop?

Or should I be snapping up the bargains as I spot them?

Any solid info or just wild conjectures appreciated.

There won't be any reliable news about products that are over a year away from being released.

There was a TOS + movies bluray collection with special artwork released for the 50th Anniversary as well as a set of the films on Steelbook with 50th packaging.

They stuck some '50th Anniversary' delta stickers on the other existing box sets at the time for a period too.

But I wouldn't get your hopes up for anything overly elaborate. There might be a 60th TOS + Movies set with the new TMP DC and film 4K transfers in a similar box set to the 50th. Any other shows are unlikely to have anything.

If you don't want to wait, TOS has an existing steelbook set and they released a TNG + Movies + Picard + deltas/cards set when Picard ended.

Unless pigs fly and we get news of a DS9/VOY remaster, there won't be anything special done for those series.

Ok, I’m forever the optimist so I think I’m going to wait until just before Black Friday to revisit or possibly repost this question, as then it’ll be way closer to the anniversary.

I’ve got camelcamelcamel watches on all the blu rays currently, so if it does dip to crazy low prices I’ll buy them anyway.

I’m not a fan of VOY so I’d only be buying it if it was a part of a massive Trek universe set.

And whilst those Steelbooks look mighty pretty, TOS blu rays were £45 last sale day, so that’s my ceiling rn.

That said, the Legacy set you linked to is so tempting I want to justify it as an early birthday present to myself… 🤦🏽‍♀️

Thanks for the comprehensive response.

No problem at all!

For the anniversary, we'll likely get product details of any special sets around June 2026. Paramount tends to do announcements roughly 3 months before they hit shelves (like the recent Lower Decks set announcement).

There have been a couple of special editions filtering through as well, the latest was a Search for Spock steelbook.

Ideas on what might be included with my imagined 60th anniversary set:

TOS - communicator that’s also a Bluetooth speaker

TNG - badge communicator pin

DS9 - a Tribble - alluding to the epic crossover episode

Voy - badge communicator pin - it’s different than the TNG one
