The two individual series are indeed $25 each, but both of those are in HD. So yes, the combo is technically half price but you are getting the SD version. So I wouldn't really call it a deal.
It looks like most of the episodes are in HD. Sporadic ones don't have a quality listed. See screenshots here https://imgur.com/a/dPypizb

Edit - if I see the individual seasons you can scroll down and it says 'Also available is SD'. And when you scroll down the SD version pages it says 'Also available in HD'. Doesn't say that on my phone for the combo series. So at least on the phone it looks like it's the SD version. But again, this might be iTunes being weird. Will confirm at home on my Mac.
I have never seen Apple sell a product exclusively in SD when they have HD available, usually it is the same price for both or the HD is at least available as an option if the SD price is lower.

So yeah, cannot really purchase unfortunately (FYI - I tried on the mac. Might try on windows later).

Does it show up in widescreen or is it 4:3?

Edit: Update - Looks like all episodes except for about 6 episodes are now showing up for me as HD quality. I need to navigate from the store page on the TV app though, as the "TV Shows" section seems to direct me to episodes that don't have the HD quality tag on them.

Apart from having those 11 episodes in SD, one other thing to consider is that last three episodes amount to 72 minutes in the SD versions (three episodes of 24 min each), while the combined episode in the stand-alone Avatar series, is 92 min in length. What are those extra 20 minutes? Does the combined version have 20 minutes of bonus content, or is it is a longer edit of the finale?
In any case, this indeed is a good deal if you are okay with having 11 episodes in SD. And a very shoddy job by the publisher (I'm guessing it's their fault). Maybe leaving bad reviews on the iTunes page will cause them to fix it (though chances are less).
