These two are for sure.

A-Channel DVD Complete Collection
Broken Blade Blu-ray Complete Collection

I was thinking about upgrading my DVD sets. I may do it if the two sets get bargain bin’d when this comes out.
Xam’d Blu-ray Complete Collection

Still rather A-Channel have gotten a Blu-ray release and dubbed then a few other titles that will, but since it is not getting a dub partial paid for by a company in another country I understand.

I will likely be getting Broken Blade on Bluray and A Channel on DVD. I was hoping they would release Blade in a complete collection and I bet a lot of others are happy about that as well.

Broken Blade and maybe Xam’d

Broken Blade BD and A-Channel DVD

The other two, already have.
