The Ultimate Guide To The Ben 10 Complete Collection: What The 2025 Box Set Includes (and What It's Missing)

Contents
For Ben 10 fans who have long struggled to piece together the entire saga of Ben Tennyson and his Omnitrix, a definitive physical media release has been one of the most requested items for over a decade. As of the current date, December 14, 2025, the long-awaited and corrected *Ben 10: The Complete Collection* DVD box set is a confirmed reality, with a corrected version scheduled for release in 2025. This massive collection aims to bring together the entire "Classic Continuity" of the franchise, but the term "complete" requires a deep dive to understand exactly what you are getting and what essential pieces of the *Ben 10* universe are still missing from the set. The new 2025 collection is a monumental release for collectors, finally offering a cohesive, high-quality package for the four original animated series. However, the sprawling nature of the *Ben 10* franchise—spanning five series, multiple movies, and various specials—means that achieving a truly "complete" collection is a complex challenge, especially for a single box set. This guide breaks down the official content, addresses the crucial *Omniverse* episode issue, and provides a full roadmap for the ultimate *Ben 10* marathon.

The Official 2025 Ben 10 Complete Collection Box Set Breakdown

The official *Ben 10: The Complete Collection* DVD set, announced by Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment, is focused entirely on the original four-part saga, often referred to as the "Classic Continuity." This is the core story of Ben Tennyson, from his first summer road trip at age 10 to his adventures as a 16-year-old Plumber.

Key Content and Specifications (DVD Release)

  • Release Date: May 13, 2025 (Initial Release) / September 9, 2025 (Corrected Version)
  • Format: DVD (41 Discs)
  • Total Run Time: Approximately 5,243 Minutes
  • Total Episodes: 227 Episodes

Series Included in the Collection

The collection spans the entire original continuity, covering Ben's evolution from a novice hero to a seasoned defender of the galaxy:

  • Ben 10 (Original Series, 2005): All 4 Seasons (52 Episodes)
  • Ben 10: Alien Force (2008): All 3 Seasons (46 Episodes)
  • Ben 10: Ultimate Alien (2010): All 3 Seasons (52 Episodes)
  • Ben 10: Omniverse (2012): All 8 Seasons (80 Episodes)

The Crucial *Omniverse* Episode Correction

One of the most important pieces of news regarding this 2025 release is the correction of a major issue that plagued earlier, unofficial, or regional box sets. Early pressings of a "Complete Collection" were known to be incomplete, specifically missing approximately 40 episodes from the *Omniverse* series. Warner Bros. Discovery has confirmed the reprinting of the set to include all 80 episodes of *Ben 10: Omniverse*, making the September 9, 2025, release date a significant milestone for completeness. Buyers should ensure they purchase the corrected version to get the full story.

The Blu-ray Question: Is a High-Definition Ben 10 Collection Coming?

While the DVD collection is confirmed, the availability of a high-definition Blu-ray box set for the entire classic continuity has been a subject of intense speculation and retailer listing leaks.

The Current Blu-ray Status

As of late 2025, there is no definitive, official press release from Warner Bros. Discovery announcing a Blu-ray collection for the four main series. However, multiple retailer listings for a "Ben 10 Collection The Complete Series Blu Ray" have appeared, with tentative release dates in late 2025 (such as September 21, 2025, and October 6, 2025).

If released, a Blu-ray collection would be a massive upgrade for fans. The original *Ben 10* series was animated in 4:3, but *Alien Force*, *Ultimate Alien*, and *Omniverse* were produced in high-definition widescreen. A true Blu-ray release would finally allow fans to view the majority of the saga in its intended HD quality, a feature highly sought after by collectors.

Previously Released HD Content

It is worth noting that the live-action movie *Ben 10: Alien Swarm* (2009) is one of the few pieces of the franchise to have an official Blu-ray release in the past. The animated series itself has never had a full-series HD box set, making the rumored 2025 Blu-ray collection a potential game-changer for the franchise’s home media history.

The Missing Pieces: Why the "Complete Collection" is Still Incomplete

Despite its impressive 41-disc count, the *Ben 10: The Complete Collection* is not a truly exhaustive archive of every piece of *Ben 10* media. For a fan seeking the ultimate, 100% complete viewing experience, several key movies and the entire fifth series are absent.

1. The Live-Action and Reboot Films

The collection only includes the two animated movies that are canonical to the Classic Continuity. To complete the filmography, you would need to acquire the following separately:

  • Ben 10: Race Against Time (2007): The first live-action film, generally considered non-canon to the main story.
  • Ben 10: Alien Swarm (2009): The second live-action film, set during the *Alien Force* era.
  • Ben 10 Versus the Universe: The Movie (2020): The animated movie from the *Ben 10* (Reboot) continuity.

2. The Entire Reboot Continuity

The most significant exclusion is the entirety of the fifth animated series, the *Ben 10* (Reboot) which ran from 2016 to 2021. This series, while a different continuity, is a major part of the franchise and includes:

  • Ben 10 (Reboot Series, 2016-2021): All 4 Seasons and various specials.
  • Crossovers: The fan-favorite *Ben 10/Generator Rex: Heroes United* crossover special, which is a key piece of extended media.

The common understanding in the fan community is that the "Complete Collection" is a nostalgic nod to the original saga, excluding the later reboot series.

How to Watch the "Complete" Ben 10 Canon in 2025 (Streaming Alternatives)

For fans who prefer the convenience of streaming, or who want to fill in the gaps left by the physical collection, the availability of *Ben 10* content is constantly changing.

The Volatile State of Streaming

As of late 2025, the streaming rights for the *Ben 10* franchise are highly fluid. While the entire classic run was previously available on HBO Max (now Max), many episodes and even entire series have been subject to purges and removals.

The original series has been known to cycle through major streaming platforms like Netflix and Hulu, though these appearances are often temporary. The most reliable, albeit expensive, options for watching the entire back catalog have been through digital retailers or subscription services like YouTube TV or DIRECTV.

The Digital Dilemma

The instability of streaming availability is precisely why the *Ben 10: The Complete Collection* DVD set holds so much value in 2025. It guarantees permanent access to the core 227 episodes and two canonical movies, regardless of what happens with streaming rights in the future. For the true fan, the physical media collection is the only way to ensure the classic continuity is never lost to a "streaming purge."
