GoGamer says "not any time soon but we do carry Ultimate Dungeon and dragon online and it has all of the game the back order package had."
Here's what he means, and he's right - it has all of those listed in the OP, plus Dragonstone, Demonshard, and Temple of Elemental Evil, for the same price.

NOTES:
- The latest patch for each game does not ship with this collection, download them at bioware.com for the BG and NWN series and download.com has the the patches for the IceWind Dale series.
- No insane DRM or copy protection software, simple CD check on most (CD check in NWN has been removed in latest official patch)
- Hundreds (maybe thousands of hours if you count community made modules for NWN) of single player and multiplayer fun!
- NWN1 provides the option for Persistent Worlds, which are community built MMORPGs with no monthly fee!
- These games are becoming harder and harder to find (save NWN) now that Interplay and Black Isle Studios went under... just try finding a copy of TotSC US version.
- Windows XP 64bit support confirmed by Schadenfroh
- Windows Vista 64bit support confirmed by masteraleph
- WideScreen fix for Infinity Engine games (found by Golgatha)
Essential mods:
- Baldur's Gate (and Tales of the Sword Coast)
- EasyTuTu
- Ports ALL of the content of BG1 and TotSC to the BG2 engine, that means you can play the entire original saga at 1024 x 768 with OpenGL acceleration!
- Baldur's Gate 1 NPC Project
- This is a mod for TuTu (see above), it adds a great deal of intraparty dialog as well as interaction of your companions with NPCs. It also implements romance possibilities.
- Read over this thread for order of install instructions.
Baldur's Gate 2- Baldur's Gate 2 FixPack
- Provides fixes for most of the remaining bugs in the game that go unfixed in the official patch, also adds various tweaks to improve gameplay.
- Unfinished Business, adds back in several pieces of cut content
- Ascension, a mod written by a bioware developer that makes the ending of ToB what it would have been had they time to polish it.
IceWind Dale- Icewind Dale NPC Project, gives you a party experience with NPCs similar to that of Baldurs Gate 2.
- Trials of the LureMaster, a free expansion pack for Heart of Winter by Black Isle Studios
Icewind Dale 2- IceWind Dale 2 NPC Project, gives you a party experience with NPCs similar to that of Baldurs Gate 2.
NeverWinter Nights- Too many great community made modules to list. I started this thread to discuss great NWN community made modules
Temple of Elemental Evil- Circle of Eight Mod / Fix Pack (thanks Funkertosh)
- EasyTuTu

Comments from myself on these games:
- Baldur's Gate Series: This, IMO, is the best series of RPGs that has ever been created. It has a near perfect mixture of action and dialog. Great plot, character development, roleplaying opportunities and action!
IceWind Dale Series: Never played (yet), from what I hear it is a bit more action oriented than Baldur's Gate, but it is NOT a hack and slash Diablo like game.
NeverWinter Nights: Awesome and active modding community, thousands of community made modules at nwvault.com. These modules provide everything from single player campaigns that are superior to the one that ships with it, to multiplayer capabilities within these modules to even MMORPGs in the form of persistent worlds. I strongly suggest that you do not play the original campaign and just start with the expansion packs if you want to play without mods (the player made modules are far better)
