I just purchased a new Blu-Ray box set of the original 6 Star Trek movies. It's called 'Star Trek Original Motion Picture Collection". It just came out on Tuesday.
It has it's own UPC code (which is not in the database yet). I've scanned the covers.
Since it is a box set of 6 movies and one extra disc, I presume I need to add each movie first then put them into a box set. Trouble is, the individual movies have no UPC code.
How do I add each individual movie to my database and then create the box set?

One thing I'm going to try is to enter an invalid EAN and continue with each disc.

You could always download the existing profile for the Box set (UPC 097361427546) US locality. There have been child profiles for the individual movies contributed as well.

How do I find the child profiles? When I add a DVD and search for all Blu-ray movies with the title of 'Star Trek', none of the child profiles show up?

Usually, you add child profiles by disc id rather than upc as the majority of them don't have indvidual upcs.  I know, though, that not many people have a Blu-Ray drive on their computer yet so that might not be possible for you.  You may have to wait until they are submitted by someone else...  You can do local with a wrong UPC, but they can't be submitted.  The box set part, you can submit, though, without disc ids.

OK. I had the locality set to Canada. Switched to USA and now I see them. Small things can confuse!
