Proof that "Smart" and "Sci-Fi Fan" can be two completely unrelated terms

Star Trek - $2499.99 Star Trek - Ultimate Collection Proves Popular! - www.tvshowsondvd.com

Amazon.com is posting The Ultimate Star Trek DVD Collection that contains every series from the original Star Trek, plus Next Generation Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise, plus every movie. That's 212 discs, for a grand total of $2500.00 American Dollars with the discount. And it's been selling!!

There is an old comic shop saying, "a fanboy and his money are soon parted".

Wouldn't the die-hard Trek fans already own most of this? And is it wrong to think that if they included Trekkies, the documentary on the fanaticism of Trek fans, that it would act as an "intervention", causing buyers to suffer an aneurysm when they realized what they've done? And just what is the Klingon translation of "dumb-ass"?

Not quite in the same league: there is a Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Chosen Collection which is the entire 7 seasons over 40 discs, but that's at a far more reasonable $244.99 Cdn.
