Tom & Jerry Spotlight Collection #1 Question?

I've done some searching, and it seems that at one time last year, it was possible to send in for replacement the edited Tom & Jerry shorts on the 1st spotlight collection. Is there now an unedited pressing available, or are we stuck with the three edited cartoons which appear in the collection?

Has anyone successfully received the unedited versions by sending in your spotlight collection #1 for replacement?

There isn't an unedited rpessing, nor is there a replacement program. Warner Bros. basically screwed it Up.

It was Jerry Beck, the noted animation historian, who wrote on the Internet that he had talked to the people he worked with at Warner Home Video about the edits (which he said were unintentional) and that he was told there was going to be an exchange program. Obviously, those people were soon overruled by "the suits" at Time-Warner who simply didn't want to spend the money to re-issue the discs (though there were some later official WHV statements differentiating collector's vs. children's DVD sets which implied that the release of the edited cartoons was intentional.)
