The set comes with 10 BDs encompassing all the video features from the series.
27 TV episodes (Eng Sub/Dub)
2 movies (Eng Sub)
2 Works features
"Pieces of sweet stars" feature
Picture Drama/Event footage from the event held prior to the movies
DS OVA Episode 5.5
Video extras: Textless OP/ED (both TV/movies), "Youko Goes! A Study of Anime at Gainax" (might be translated differently by Bandai), Opening Day Stage Greetings for movies, Gurren Lagann Inspection, Staff Interviews, and more!
All of this (except the live action footage) has been re-filmed in HD under the supervision of Hiroyuki Imaishi.

The set also comes with 5 CDs:
A newly written story by Kazuki Nakashima
"A Shining Example of a Gurren Lagaan" (drama CD included with the TV series LE DVDs)
"Idiot Men!" (drama CD included with the first movie's LE DVD)
"We're Men!" (drama CD included with the second movie's LE DVD)
Original music from the Works 2 and Pieces of sweet stars features

Everything is packaged in a Atsushi Nigori drawn digipak. This digipack, along with a hardcover archive book (including never before seen initial drawings) and a illustration book (featuring a newly drawn cover by Hiroyuki Imaishi) will be housed in a Yoh Yoshinari drawn box.

No details yet other than MSRP: 63000 yen.
(edit: oh, and the date: June 26 2013)

It better be re-composited in HD for that price. I assume it at least includes the movies, though.

Aaahh, I've been waiting for something like this, but that price Will still be around 47k after the Amz discount! I hope they re-master it or whatever to make it look at least as good as the movies did, they better do for that price.

I assume for that price the packaging and bonuses will be extra special than the average BD box and yeah, it better be re-composited. That's just not the price you ask for an upscale. Anyway I'm afraid as much as I'd love to have this, I'll have to give it a pass.

That price is pretty damn high. It must contain everything, right? Complete 27 episodes, parallel works 1 and 2, both movies and maybe the OVA which came with the DS game.

That sure is really expensive... I really hope it's re-composited in HD as well. This show is in my Top 10, so I sure would like to own it on BD... If I get it, I'll probably wait for it to be released and know more about the video... Why does show I really like need to be that expensive?

Holy goddamned shit ¥63k? I have been wishing for a BD box of this for years but that's outrageous. How did they manage to release something even more expensive than the Clannad and Kanon boxsets? As you say, that has to include the movies. There's no way that's just the TV series... at least I hope it isn't.

Geh, now I'm definitely sticking with just four fall imports. Sorry Sukinayo and/or Kaibutsu-kun and/or Sakura-sou. Part of why I considered cutting back was upcoming BD boxes, and jeeze this sure drives that home. This, Katanagatari, and YamiBou at the least. I'm almost glad they haven't reissued Koihime Musou season one with a more reasonable price, otherwise I'd have to get Shin Koihime Musou and that too. And I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting.

Ah, for some reason I thought you didn't, but I should have known. Should have know.

Against my better judgement, I'll likely be pre-ordering this when it goes up on Amazon. But wow, this is really going to hurt my budget for 2013 expenditures. Will probably take a big hit on my 2013 R1 anime purchases.
