As far as what Fein says, I think he's correct since the last master for the Special Longer Version was made something like 35 years ago. Some of us won't be around 35 years from now if they finally do reissue it again. AFAIK they never reissued the VHS and LDs after the 25th Anniversary LBX masters, and of course it didn't appear on DVD or BD.
PS: I remember picking up the CD-Video (Philips CD-i) of Star Trek I and being bitterly disappointed it was the Theatrical Cut rather than the Special Longer Version on the packaging! I couldn't return it to Incredible Universe because of the usual store policy of not accepting returns of opened media.
