It's quite difficult to find any solid information about this online, but apparently there is a new Blu-ray set of all five Phantasm philms out there, beyond the original WellGo set from a few years back and beyond the white marble and sphere set from just a couple years ago.
As noted above, finding official information about this set seems challenging, as it is not shown on the WellGo website even though it's their product, and it's not listed at places like Amazon. So far, it looks like the only way to get this set is to get it off the shelf at WalMart; you can't pull it up on their website for ordering, but several people have spotted the set on the shelves inside various WalMart stores. Apparently the retailer Bullmoose also has it available, as their site does have a listing for it, although without a graphic, so information is still spotty.
Finally, specifics about what versions of the films and what specifications the discs have as far as sound coding and whatnot are a bit difficult to ascertain too, as the discs don't seem to be exactly the same ones previously released by WellGo in the two box sets, the standalone Blu releases, or the recent Phantasm I & II collection release.
Discussion about this set can be found at Blu-ray.com at this link, starting with post #6089, and continuing on for a number of pages after that: forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=271146&highlight=phantasm&page=305 .
I'm sure pretty much anyone who still comes here already has their preferred disc set of the philms by now, or eschews physical media altogether, but for total Phantasm completionist collectors, perhaps this may be worth hunting for in a WalMart store or elsewhere online, such as via Bullmoose or another retailer. I believe the set can be had for right around $29, so it beats the price of the standalone discs or the recent WellGo sphere set by a lot!
