All the people that are still waiting and haven't gotten disc back is why I'm hesitant to send in I......I don't care that I don't have a silly 2.0 track.
I'll prob get III in the mail though tomorrow. (Maybe if I at least send in III they'll send both knowing I have the set.)
We'll see.

So it seems like Canadians are getting hosed on the replacements, but California residents like myself are getting their discs in a very reasonable time.

Still no replacement discs... Guess I'll call them either tomorrow or Friday just to see if it's on the way.

I live in NY and I received my replacement discs just a week and a half after I mailed out the discs.
Its not as packaged as sturdy or well but at least they had slips over them to protect each disc...

He should feel honored. Superman personally crushed it for him.

Just got my replacements. Everything is A-OK. Compared to all the waiting I did with Universal to replace my BTTF and Meaning of Life discs, this was quick and relatively painless.
Even though this should have never happened to begin with, good job WB!

Sorry for repeating a question potentially, but if you got a set that has the correct III disc does that mean your Superman I is okay? Or are there people who have still had issues on I despite having the correct III? Thanks!

Each disc is stored in a thin paper sleeve.

To verify whether your Superman I disc is the corrected one, take a look at this post:

After reading the posts from the link to thecinemaforums.com, it sounds like Warner is going to stop issuing the replacements discs soon? Did I misunderstand what they were saying? Apparently the re-issue in mid 2007 will have different packaging and a different UPC.
I got my Superman Ultimate set during the B&N online sale, and I haven't opened mine because the local B&N store told me they'd special order a new one that I could swap it for. After giving them 2 weeks, I called today and they told me it was deleted from the system, so this option no longer exists.
I've had so many discs arrive cracked in the mail I was hoping to avoid mailing them to Warner. My Target, Walmart, and Best Buy have none of these in stock, and even if they did there's no guarantee it would have the corrected discs, but I'm sure mine doesn't so it would be worth a shot.
Given that Warner appears to be my only chance now, do I need to hurry up, open my set, and call Warner before they tell me they've decided to stop replacing the discs?
By the way, could someone give me the address in Oxnard? I'll be driving through there in a couple weeks, and if it's not a PO box or somewhere far off the 101, I'd be tempted to stop by in person to swap my disks if they'd let me (they probably wouldn't).

I really hope it comes tomorrow... BTW, those who got it, when did you send the discs back? I sent mine on the 19th or 20th so maybe I sent it later than some.

International person here.
Called the number that Amazon gave me and it told me to send my address in an email. Called the other number on the WB site and was put on hold for too long so I gave up -- about the 11 December
28th December I called the WB number and spoke to some customer rep. Asked if I had emailed, and I told her I had. Put me on hold for ages and then said that the person would reply.
4 Jan - still nothing. Should I get worried? I want my replacement disks.

This sucks. I sent mine out like a day after I received the envelope (probably around the week of the 12th or something like that) and haven't received anything yet.
Here's hoping to this week.

Sorry to change the subject,
I saw amazon have the set in-stocked now. Do anyone know if they have the corrected version?
Also, I saw there is confusion about whether this set will go out of print soon. Should I wait for the next DDD 20% Sale, if it will be still available by June?
