Obeying blindly to the letter of the rules would force to use some text from the J piece of cardboard as the title of this box set. There is no front cover here, so there is no way to take the title from the front cover. The titles are, however, on the top of the 'J shaped piece of cardboard'. While I won't be using what you suggested in my local, I don't see any other option for the on-line. I, personally, don't see the need for a change to the rules. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Title: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Edition: Collective Turtle Lunch Box Gift Set
Then have "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" as separate entries for box set contents? |

--------------- Please tell me you are kidding. If not, then I change my original thought and maybe there is a need for a rule change. Why though? Technically, that's what it is. It's no different than, say, the Midnight Horror Collections, some which have 10 or 12 movies in them. It's not feasible to have every movie in the title, so we end up with something like "Midnight Horror Collection: Blood Predators", then all the movies in the box set contents. It's also not described as a "double feature", say like this one ( What's The Matter With Helen? / Whoever Slew Auntie Roo?: Midnite Movies Double Feature) Personally, after reflecting on it a bit, I would use the title "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Collectible Turtle Lunchbox Gift Set", then set the edition to Limited Edition, but I'm fairly particular about sorting. | | | Last edited: by 69samael69 |

The bolded would be backward. The top, the bottom, and the back all list "Teenage Mutant Turtles: Out of the shadows first. So should the online be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Edition: Collective Turtle Lunch Box Gift Set |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Edition: Collective Turtle Lunch Box Gift Set I notice you didn't mention what was on the front of the box, which is where the title is supposed to come from. What's the point of asking what the correct title is when you're just going to do whatever you want regardless of The Rules? Quoting TheMadMartian: Quote: There is no front cover here, so there is no way to take the title from the front cover. The box has six sides -- front, back, top, bottom, left and right, so there is a "front" and it has a "title" on it, though it appears to be to no one's liking. --------------- | | | Last edited: by scotthm |
