I just bought this from Jewel food store for $10.

Here is what I'm talking about.



1. My copy came with a slipcover. It's kind of Red/White striped. On the front of the slipcover it says that it contains "5 Holiday Classics" and that it also includes "Bonus Music CD Inside". And that back is much different than what's currently in the database.

So did this originally come with the slipcover?

2. My UPC # is 074645-881294.
The child profiles are wrong and link to the Keep Case versions of these programs.

There is another copy with a different UPC# in the database. It doesn't include the child profiles and list all the programs under the one UPC#.

So what is the correct way of doing this?
A. List all the programs under the parent profile?
B. Box Set rules apply and the programs would be entered with Disc ID's.


I would really like to do this correctly, but there is a few problems.
1. I can't do scans of the slipcover, so I'll have to leave it up to someone else to do that.
2. I can't do Disc ID's either, so can't correct the current profile. So someone who does own this will have to submit those.


I just thought I'd bring this up to the community in hopes that someone can correct this profile.

Right now I just listed all the credits under the parent profile.

The Original release was just as you have posted it. Mine BTW are properly linked to the parent via Disc ID, just as they are supposed to be and have been for FIVE years. Now I have never Contributed the children, I kee saying that there are hundreds and hundreds of titles which are nowhere but my local.

But just for you Cubby, I am sending them up for you.

I am not at home, so can not check but I believe that some of the discs were released as stand alones before they were put in the boxset. Child profiles, I think, have that cover on.

I have an older version (074645861395) in different packaging with the same front image.  When i first downloaded the profile all the content was the "parent".  As Skip noted i added some child profiles later but i haven't changed/removed anything from the parent.

It could be argued it is a box set and all content should be in the children.  However, i guess i've always viewed it as a TV series anthology and the current setup matches that.  (Making the child profiles optional.)

Technically it isn't a series.  The only common denominator i can think of is they are all Rankin/Bass productions.  But that has been enough i saw no need to mess with the parent.
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!
