And the whole set will be available on R1 on 7th January according to http://www.bfsent.com, but since it`s BFS and it`ll be converted to NTSC the quality will be no better than mediocre!

Sheesh!! Weapon is Episode 16, which is from Series 2! And only two of the episodes listed (Way Back and Seek-Locate-Destroy) are from Series 1!!

If you check against somewhere such as http://shipofdreams.net/b7/episodes.htm the episode titles, in the order listed on the web site, cover:

Bounty - Episode 11
Games - Episode 47
Hostage - Episode 21
Power - Episode 41
Seek-Locate-Destroy - Episode 6
Star One - Episode 26
The Harvest Of Karos - Episode 31
Ultraworld - Episode 36
Way Back - Episode 1
Weapon - Episode 16

In other words, they are listed in alphabetical order by the title of the first episode on each disk, covering 5 episodes on each of the first eight disks and 6 episodes on the last two, to give the 52 episodes from all four series.

They could be either (a) single DVD-9, in which case the quality will be truly awful if they have sqaushed 5 or 6 episodes on one disk, or (b) two DVD-9 or one DVD-18, in which case the quality could be reasonable, allowing for NTSC conversion. But given that it`s BFS don`t expect too much emphasis on picture quality. And expect the date to slip by a month or three or four.
