Well, if you want into any reasonably-complete video tape store, you should 
be able to find the 'Extended-Length' version of ST:TMP available for sale
or rent.  In the Natick/Framingham area, two places that have it are Video 
Plus on route 126 and Videosmith on Route 9.  

[These locations are all in the greater Boston area, for all those 
out-of-Mass. readers.]
