Long time user, first time poster...

I picked up copies of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy on BD for $7.99 a piece. They don't appear to be in the database, so I was curious if anyone else was working on contributions for them? I've never done a contribution myself and feel a bit overwhelmed with the dual disc (it's a BD and DVD dual pack with the special features on the DVD) aspect. Or maybe it's just that I got off a plane and I'm too lazy to work on it. Anyway, has anyone else picked up these copies yet? Fellowship has the UPC 794043-141522.

Try using different locality's..,  or try and locate the same 2 disc  Blu-ray copies but under a "different upc code.."
you may find someone has done the work and all you have to do is (download) copy and paste the crew and cast ,
if you don;t have a scanner you might as well copy the front and rear jacket until your UPC shows up and then you can reload the newer credits/scans .. make sure you you lock off all your changes so you don't accidentily wipe it out if you go to do a  refresh using your true UPC/EAN ..
and I guess you wouldn't/ or couldn't  contribute any of this as it is not the true deal.. to your own disc identity., but it can save you a lot of time if you don't have the time.

Thanks for the tips. When you say it's not the "true deal" do you mean that because it's just the same discs, but with different UPC's, they're not contribution material? These were legit copies I purchased from Amazon.

No what he means is: download an existing copy, which you can use as a base. With that starting point, adapt everything that is different but don't submit under that UPC. Instead, first change the UPC and then submit. This will create a new entry in the database, different than the one you downloaded as a base to start with. I  hope I explain it well enough 

I'm guessing these individual releases have a different UPC than the already released box set, but the discs inside are the same. If that is indeed the case, you can do as I described.

You would need the true UPC for actual scans and thus contribution  as well being Blue ray you would also have to get the true disc ID from your discs in hand and not others from other localitys or upc may be differnat.,

That is what I meant by the true deal .. 

Like I bought the Canadian release of Avatar ( 3 disc special release)  recently- last week., and it is still wrapped in cellophane until I eventually open it up.
But being a Canadian locality I had trouble trying to find 'anything' on the set I have, until I changed the locality to USA (same upc) and that opened up probably  90%  more ownership and thus a wealth of information I needed.
So it can be the USA for the time being until I update the whole works back to Canada again..

I wonder if this is the same set that was on sale at Target?  I was in charge with taking down all the sale signs at my Target in the entertainment dept last night, and I knew the individual LotR blu-rays were on sale for $7.99, but when I got to the trilogy boxset, it also was marked $7.99!    At first, I thought someone had just put one of the individual film signs on the boxset, but I looked closer and it was in fact for the trilogy!    I even double checked it with my scanner, and yup, came up as $7.99.  There was also no "fine print" on the sign indicating limited quantity/no rain checks, so I was able to issue a rain check for myself since it was sold out.    So, even though I already have the extended editions on DVD, at $7.99 how can I turn down the trilogy on blu-ray, even if it's only the theatrical editions?

@ Eagle
I'm jealous. I'm also holding out for the extended editions, but I would have bought this one.
