At Amazon, there's barely any price difference between the 7-season-set
bundle and the new set:

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Next-Generation-Complete/dp/B00062RCBW

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Next-Generation-Complete/dp/B000RZIGVS

but there are 49 discs listed in the new set vs. 48 in the bundled set,
so I assume there are probably some new special features in the new set.
I didn't investigate further, as my interest in all things Trek pretty
much stops at the original series - never have had the time to devote to
watching the subsequent series the way I did with TOS.
