Pretty cool. I'm sure all are well loved series even though I only recognized Mach Go Go Go and Gatchaman (Speed Racer and Battle of the Planets respectively). I'm going to go ahead and assume there's no subtitles. Also, a lot of the prices are kinda high. However, if lack of subtitles isn't a deal breaker, the prices aren't too stomach churning, and you actually prefer the Japanese versions, definitely great news. Add the fact that all previous Gatchaman DVDs are out of print and, of course, all the series are on Blu-Ray. I can vouch for Gatchaman, as I saw a few episodes. Saw little of Speed Racer and non of Mach and, like I said, did not recognize the others, although they look interesting.

Found some videos promoting them. Hopefully, they'll also tell what the other series are:

It bothered me that I only knew two of the series, so I decided to do some research and find out what the others were. I wasn't going to include Mach Go Go Go and Gatchaman but decided to when I decided to include the openings. Hope this help those inexperienced in classic anime like me. They all sound interesting. All except What's Up Mechadoc have Wikipedia pages so you start research on them and see if they may be worth the price tags.

I listed them how they appeared on the Tatsunoko website. Some are already released, but I didn't look that far. (Warning: 11 Youtube links)
