I'll just rebuy the trilogy in iTunes or get the UHD BD set when either goes on sale.

They did in fact relist FOTR though. I had the SD copy that was upgraded to HD by MA but for the last few years when looking up the film on the iTunes Store it showed a price and not a play/download option like the other 2 films. Today when I redeemed the digital code from the UHD set, it gave me a duplicate copy of FOTR (so I now have 3 - HD theatrical, 4K theatrical, 4K EE).
