Title = The Smurfs: True Blue Friends

Edition = Hanna-Barbera Kids Collection

Agree with Martian by way of Katatonia. I'd like the volume one in the edition, too.

Volume 1 in Edition field?    All TV series I have seen have the episode descriper in Title.

A help would be to know how another part of the series looks.

Agree with VirusPil; Voulmes and Series info is part of the title field (though not part of the title itself for those who like to fill the Original Title field with the title without the volume...) for TV

I think this would be best:
Title = The Smurfs: True Blue Friends: Volume 1
Edition = Hanna-Barbera Kids Collection

Agreed

I might add 'Volume 1' to the Edition field

Like others have stated, I don't understand this at all. Never have we put something like that into the "Edition" field. 

I do really feel that we need to take any season/disc/volume indicators out of the title fields (because dozens of them, often including many different translated ones, thoroughly mess up the CLT numbers), but instead of moving them to the "Edition" field, this really needs it's own field.

I have hoards of anime releases that are basically packaged like this.  All of them are handled consistently in the DB in this fashion:

Title: Volume: Sub-title

So, for your release it would be:

Title:  The Smurfs: Volume 1: True Blue Friends
Edition:  Hanna-Barbera Kids Collection

Incidentally, this seems to be Volume 2:
Amazon

And this Volume 3:
Amazon again

Again, looking at these they remind me very much of the way anime series are released, so that is the style I would go with.

While I can wholeheartedly agree that the Volume should go in the title thread, I really wish Invelos would step in and define titles a little more clearly.

Between this and the other title thread, there really is very little consistency on some of the more complicated (?) titles.
