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.

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

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.
