Is this the first time the Marx Brothers are on Blu-Ray?

Yes, though Groucho's Copacabana and Skidoo are also out on Blu.

Hello Everyone, I'm glad to be here.
I don't know if this is off topic, but I have been trying to collect the non-Stooge Columbia two-reelers. To date, as far as I know, there have been only 63 of these comedies released on various DVD's, including all 10 of Buster Keaton's comedies and all 20 of Charley Chase's. My question is, does anyone know if there are any others that have been released on DVD? A list of all of the ones that I know of is below:
Can anyone help add to this list?
(I know that there are many more available to be had on youtube, but I'm interested in legitimately released DVD's).
Thanks!
