Interesting news relating to the 10 year anniversary of ATLA, a USA/Canada release of Avatar The Last Airbender Complete Series on DVD. No Blu Ray is a disappointment for many, but beyond the art, there is nothing new in this set as far as I know. It is the first time ATLA has been released as a full series collection in America, whereas Europe and the UK have had a collection out for a few years now.
What this set is based on the little info out so far is the 3 Book's individual collections with new art for the covers packed into one collection. It will be 16 disks total. The Book 1 Water Special Edition set with the 5 disks of episodes and 1 special features disk and then 5 disks for Book 2 and 3 respectively. They have not revealed the full details of the extras, but it really does seem like a repackaged collection, with nothing new beyond the new covers.
Speaking of these covers, Bryan has done the art for all of them. He revealed them on his Tumblr.
I really like these minimalistic images, they really represent the key characters and element involved in each Book.
But really the decision about purchasing this set comes down to a few key points. Do you have the indivudal sets already? Do you care about the new art? Are you a collector of all new Merch releases?
For me I have the sets, albeit the Uk versions which have barely any special features, but the art interests me as does the chance to get the ATLA extras I have missed out on. So I can see myself getting this set, but then again I am a collector and have an interest in most Avatar merch.
I hope they surprise us with the nature of the disks inside, but I don't have much hope. I appreciate the effort with the new covers, but I think most fans agree with me when they were expecting the next ATLA release to be a Blu Ray/Updated DVD of ATLA in high quality and remastered with a more modern aspect ratio. The wait continues on that front.
Amazon currently have a preorder up for $42.99, but this will probably drop between now and release.
