Fox deserves praise for putting out this set, it looks like a ton of work went into putting together a terrific product full of catalog titles. If you can't afford it, move on. Keeping titles exclusive is part of the reason to entice people to buy the set.
The Patriot is lost, The Racket I saw just recently on a multifilm set of public domain titles at Barnes and Nobles. East Lynne and White Parade have never been released on Home video or aired on Television, so bootlegs don't exist unless a collector has made a video version of a film print, and they have only been telecined at UCLA film archive.
East Lynne and White Parade are both FOX titles, East Lynne has been telecined twice (once in the seventies, once a few years ago), and White Parade was just telecined for the first time in February of this year, so it's only recently become available for viewing at UCLA (I had hoped that the new telecine of White Parade meant Fox would release it as part of their anniversary year, but apparently not).

Fortunately, I've kept everything, but have stalled still needing four titles: The Racket, The Patriot, East Lynne and White Parade. I 've done the same thing with Best Acting and Supporting, needing less than 20 of these, some of which are always mentioned as missing films. Have to run now, but I'll get back with a tips on at least a few titles you've been mentioning.
