That's only on the assumption that they fully re-do the VFX, which they won't. They'll upscale them, but given the absolute mess they made of the VFX when they mastered it for DVD, even going back to the original 480i/4:3 VFX and upscaling is a huge improvement.

They've already done everything they need to do for a BD. They've re-scanned the OCNs in 4K (and downscaled it to 1080p) for the live-action, they've upscaled the VFX properly for the VFX/composite shots and there are resultant HD masters for the series that have already dropped on streaming services. It looks great! We just need WBs to put the masters on BD now, which theoretically is the easy part, they just need the will to do it.
