Too bad the movies aren't nearly as good as the series.
The second movie was great, first not so much.
I might import Lagann-hen
Nah, the second movie gutted the series of its substance in favor of pure flash.
It also decided to hint at rape in an ambiguously fanservicey manner.

Bluray please....
Pretty much.
They are open to the idea of BD, but since no BD exists in Japan. Also, it wasn't animated in HD according to the director about a year ago, which is awfully strange for something so recent.
It's a no-go for now.
Obviously.

I don't get who they're even aiming these at, since there won't be a dub and America loves them some dubs.
Gurren Lagann bilingual DVD release that Bandai did sold horribly, mostly because it came out months after the sub-only release was finished. It was pretty much derailed by the early adopters and people who wanted to own the series fast and cheap. Its completely understandable position to release these movies sub-only and in a limited outlet.
Gurren Lagann, despite being popular on the webs and Japan, was a total flop here.

I personally don't care too much for dubs, though I'll watch them if I want to. I own all of Gurren Lagann that was released as subs only on DVD.

International subs and/or American dubs would make so much more sense to me but at least this is a step in the right direction, Japanese companies taking care of internationalNorth American sales themselves.
