Remaster "Avatar: The Last Airbender" for Blu-Ray and release a boxset of all "Avatar" episodes

The Issue

 Recently, I just started watching the "Avatar" franchise, at times going through an entire season (or Book) in a single day. As of right now, I'm on Book 3 of "The Legend of Korra", have completely watched "The Last Airbender", and have immensely enjoyed the franchise thus far. And while there has yet to be word about the continuation of the series as a show (it remains concluded as of right now), there are still the past episodes for all of us to go back and watch. However, where are we to do this?

 You could watch them online on a pirating website, but the problem is just that: it's pirated. What about those of us who want to show our support for the franchise and view the episodes legally?

 Well, there are the DVD's of "Avatar: The Last Airbender", but none have been remastered into Blu-Ray, which I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate to be made. Also, there is a boxset of all of the episodes of "Avatar: The Last Airbender", but as far as I can tell, it was only released in certain parts of the world (I can't find any articles stating this, but the box art seems to support it, as the maturity ratings on the box are not the same as those found here in North America, so I can only assume the same applies elsewhere when the box art is compared to that which is found in a given region. As well, I can't find it listed on any retailer websites here, although it is on the UK version of Amazon). What about everyone else in the world who wants to buy all of the episodes in one convenient package? I believe this would be a good opportunity to remaster "Avatar: The Last Airbender" on Blu-Ray, as well as release it in a boxset throughout the world.

 Now, of course, "The Last Airbender" isn't the only series in the Avatar franchise; there is also "The Legend of Korra", which I personally prefer over the original series for it's more mature subject matter. These have been released on both Blu-Ray and DVD, with the last Book coming out March 10th. As with "The Last Airbender", I'd suggest releasing all "The Legend of Korra" episodes in a boxset. It's a convenience for people looking to purchase all 4 Books, and if you were to include some sort of incentive (i.e. a figure of Korra), this could further persuade people to purchase it.

 Lastly, now that the "Avatar" franchise has concluded as a television series (at least, for now it has), I feel it would be nice to release all episodes of "The Last Airbender" as well as "The Legend of Korra" in a Blu-Ray boxset. This would be a wonderful convenience to have, as opposed to 7 different cases, or 2 boxsets, should they be made. Add a figure of Aang and Korra back-to-back, and you have a real seller right there.

 Really, does a boxset need to be made when all of the episodes are readily available? No, not at all. It's just something nice to have. However, remastering "The Last Airbender" on Blu-Ray is something that hasn't been done, and is more than simply a convenience: it's a better version of something we already love, and I would bet that some people who already have it on DVD would purchase it again to have a better quality version of it.
