Star Trek – The Collector's Edition was a VHS collection, released by Columbia House on a subscription basis in the 1980s and 1990s. The collection featured all 79 episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series, as well as the pilot episode "The Cage".
Episodes were typically collected two per tape; however, they were not released in production or airdate order – instead, Columbia House collected episodes in stardate order. Volumes were also sent to subscribers in a non-linear sequence; new subscribers received volume 9 as their first tape. Later series releases would not follow these patterns. Tapes were sent to subscribers every four to six weeks, and each volume was returnable within ten days.
A Betamax version was also released.
