Dammit, I just found these:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F9RBB2/sr=1-3/qid=1155839645/ref=pd_bbs_3/103-8666486-0155033?ie=UTF8&s=dvd

Of course, I'm going to have to buy BOTH. *grrrrrrr* They did that on purpose.

Well, at least they don't have the "Spaniard", "Giant", and "Evil Cackling Little Guy who also plays a Ferengi on Star Trek" editions.

I don't get it. What's the difference? The extras are listed in different orders but it looks like they're all the same.

Btw Myf...a friend of mine who's a major Trekkie says in one of the novels that involves Wallace Shawn's Ferengi character...they did this whole thing where he keeps saying "Inconcievable!!"

Eventually another Ferengi says "You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think."

:wink:

Marketing. Same principle as selling TV Guide with four different collectible covers. Same TV Guide on the inside, but you get pretty pretty shiny outside.

Oh, that's priceless! I've only read a few of the DS9 books, way back in high school when they started coming out with them.

They had one of those pictures that shifts as you move the cover on a sleeve that slips over the DVD cover for the version they were selling at Target. The one that came from Amazon didn't have that.

Ahhhhh... my father picked up my copy at Costco for me. no shifty picture jacket. bummer!

I did, however, get the collector's set of the first three from Sam's for Christmas... has the Wizarding coins in a collectible box. hee!

Hey, if they're exactly the same except for the picture on the cover, why are they different prices? I'm seeing at least a $3 difference between the Buttercup and Pirate versions.

Oh and that Ferengi thing in that star trek book, I'm sorry that's just so lame:-/ If you can't come up with original dialogue don't write books... just put the pen down and step away from the paper... oh wait, trekkie right, what am I thinking? Step away from the keyboard and no one gets hurt:-P

Actually, it's fairly common for an actor to use a "signature" line in more than one movie. Look at Independence Day. Jeff Goldblum says "Must go faster." It's a reference to his line in Jurassic Park.

Same thing with Directors and with some action sequences, props or such.

I love IMDB's trivia section for each movie...
