The product arrived "somewhat" as promised - neither early nor late. The discs were poor-to-moderate quality duplicates, shipped from China. Some discs were difficult to decode or read. The box set that arrived was not the box set that is advertised on Amazon.

This is an EXCELLENT boxed set. Star Trek TNG is the best show EVER! If you are a die hard Star Trek fan and don't have this then you aren't a die hard fan. If you love sci-fi and have never seen Star Trek TNG in all it's entirety then you haven't experienced one of the best sagas in sci-fi.
Be wary of cheap knock-offs and the newer individual boxed set. I've heard the newer boxed set has cheap construction and the DVDs come loose and move around in the packaging. This is 100% unacceptable for something that costs $200+. The boxed set with multiple boxes is very well made and the DVDs stay put and never get scratched. I've had mine for 2 years now and the DVDs are like new. Even the ones I watch time and again:
Yesterday's Enterprise
Inner Light
Damok
Future Imperfect
Neutral Zone
Best of Both Worlds
Hero Worship
The list goes on and on. The only thing bad about Star Trek TNG is that it ended.

This set was given to my 82 yr old Father who loves The Next Generation. It is a wonderful set.

Be careful and know what you are getting. Seller "marge1962" (Marge Cohen) sold me a set from here that was clearly not what I ordered. It was some kind of foreign import (Chinese bootleg?) version. The quality was inferior (looks like a 2nd generation copy, no pun intended) and she, the seller, was deceptive, rude and unhelpful.
If you are a ST:TNG fan, this isn't the set you are looking for. You need to find the current, updated series in the large green box: ASIN# B000RZIGVS (do an Amazon search for that number).

If you purchase the set entitled "The Chosen Collection", just be aware that it is not going to be anywhere near perfect.
All the discs are in a booklet of plastic sleeves. There is no episode listing anywhere, so if you are looking for an episode in particular, you'll just have to know what season it was in, then make your best guess as to which disc it might be on. Also, as soon I opened the booklet the plastic sleeves fell out. They were not even bound to the cardboard cover.
I was also annoyed by the packaging in general. What does that big prominent "2" on the front of the box mean? Is it indicating that it's the second Star Trek series? Also, there are a few typos on the box, along with the fact that the back of box states that it is in "Widescreen format", which it is not. The main printing on the back of the box says something like "New Crew. New Adventures... (something like that, I don't have the box in front of me). So there's this list of like 20-30 actor's names, none of which I have ever heard of aside from Patrick Stewart. If any of those people were on the show, they were extras or something.
I guess all the weirdness of the packaging can be attributed to the fact that this is the "international version" (or so I have since read). All I know for sure is that I think I would have rather had the more recent Paramount release with the discs in the cheap green trays.
The only reason I am giving it 3 stars is because the price was reasonable, and at least now I can watch the show whenever I want (and I don't have to look at the packaging if I don't want to!). Just be aware of what you are getting yourself into with this version of the release.

So far after getting 6 discs into the series, 2 of the discs will not play on my DVD player.
