Various online retailers have revealed that the
PIKACHU THE MOVIE PREMIUM BOX 1998-2010 Bluray Set will be released in Japan on
November 28th, 2012 for 38,640yen ($485USD before tax, shipping and duty). The Bluray set includes the
first 13th Pocket Monsters movies and 5 shorts. Last years movies are
already available in a Bluray boxset. The limited edition Bluray set includes 14 discs featuring remastered versions of all the first 13 movies and
5 shorts. It's catalog number is ZMAS-6200. The
3rd movie short is not included in the Bluray boxset and multiple sources including the official Media Factory page confirm that. It is unclear why that short is not included. It was included on the
previous DVD box set though.
