TV Shows on DVD has the complete list of shorts, and Jerry Beck has got the supplements. You can also see the list of both in the first post of this thread.

There's some interesting stuff on there (Including Bugs Bunny Superstar, which has "The Old Grey Hare" and "What's Cookin' Doc?" within) but I'm a bit let down by the focus on 1950s cartoons, and particularly the entire disc of Speedy Gonzales shorts. Would have been nice to have some more Clampett and Avery (Or even Art Davis) cartoons, but maybe next year.

Here is a very detailed press release with a large look at the artwork.

No, the Spotlight Collections are two-disc sets that have been released along with each Golden Collection offering. They contain nothing that isn't found in the LTGC sets released on the same day. They're marketed at people who want new discs of Warner cartoons but at a lower price point, with half the content of the LTGCs.

It's time once again for my favorite annual announcement:
*Swoon!*More Looney Tunes...your wish is our command. In this 4-disc set are 60 of the most hysterical Looney Tunes ever created and over 5 hours of extra special features. Indeed, some have never before been on home video! Disc 1 celebrates a duo every bit as famous as thunder and lightning or beans and weenies: Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. Termite Terrace provides peerless takes on Fairy Tales in Disc 2. Not to be outdone, Disc 3 showcases the hilarious talent of the great animator Robert Clampett. And the fowl deeds and rabbit-fire jokes wrap with Disc 4's hamboree jamboree of Porky Pig and more classics.
# 4-Disc Collector Set with 60 classic shorts.
# Remastered and restored to their original glory and chock full of special features!
# Over 5 hours of incredible Special Features which include "Chuck Jones: Extremes and In-Betweens, A Life in Animation" the 2000 PBS documentary
# $64.92 SRP
# October 30th street date
Stay tuned for larger cover art, and more details including the list of included shorts and all of the extras!

Terrific line-up-- when you include his entries in the "Early Daze" disc, this just about accounts for every great Clampett cartoon not yet in the collection. (And to tell the truth, this is more top-shelf Clampett than any of the others-- "Buckaroo Bugs", "Hare Ribbin'", "Porky's Poppa"-- the kind of Clampett that non-Clampett fans hate.)
Terrific. And I'll add-- the Hook propaganda shorts are incredible, and hard to find anywhere else. "Tokyo Woes" alone is probably more subversive than any of the SNAFU shorts.

For me, one of the astonishing things about these sets, as one born in 1970, is that there are cartoons, such as Tashlin's "Scrap Happy Daffy," that I had never seen before I bought Volume 5. This thing is an essential work of art, to be viewed along side "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" An essential work of cinema history. The musical numbers, the patriotic history lesson, the animation. The ghost of Abe Lincoln via Daffy Duck annoucing "Americans don't give up." And as a person relatively aware of and sensitive to these films, this one was totally unknown to me until this set.

So, I've done the unthinkable--in trying to coax out a disc from Looney Tunes Golden Collection vol. 2, I broke a disc. Do I have any recourse in terms of getting a replacement, or do I simply shell out for another set? Because having the set with one broken disc is not an option. But seriously, I was shocked by how easily it broke. I've practically pancaked discs in trying to get them out before with no ill effects. I guess it's time to develop a subtler hand.

WB (owing to awful, awful, vomit-inducing, unforgivable interlacing) is offering replacement discs for that one.

In fact, it was. I'm relieved to be part of a trend rather than some lone loser (at least in this instance). As denti says, how do you go about getting a replacement?

What you think will be on collection 6?
I'm guessing Foghorn Leghorn & Friends, Daffy & Speedy Gonzales, Tex Avery, and probably an all-stars section?
Probably going to be mostly 50s and 60s and the Avery's 30/40s cartoons he did for Warner. They have avoided releasing WWII cartoons for the time being and some politically incorrect films from the 40s, although some have appeared in the sets.

Looks accurate, but they wouldn't go without a "The best of Bugs that wasn't on the five other releases".
I'd love something such as a "banned and WWII cartoons" special, including one hit wonder characters and post-classic Looney Tunes shorts (Now Hear This, Dot and the Line...). I guess I can forget about this though.
For historic interest, add "The worst of Buddy & friends", and for curiosity "Cool cat and the downfall of the Looney Tunes" (It's not even anywhere on the web).
