There currently exists a profile in the main database for UPC #:  025192-422423, Don Knotts 4 Movie Reluctant Hero Pack: The Franchise Collection (* all emphasis mine), where "The Franchise Collection" language is clearly on all the packaging. "The Franchise Collection" is stored under "edition type".

I have in my hand 025192-159602, Don Knotts: Reluctant Hero Pack but without the "Franchise Collection" language anywhere on any of the packaging. Instead, on the slip cover and on the DVD front cover image there's the following additional language: 4 Hilarious Movies at the very top. This version appears to be exactly the same in every other aspect from what movies it contains, etc...

I'm leaning towards new addition/contribution to the main database with the new UPC and I guess the "edition type" would either remain blank or 4 Hilarious Movies or would I be wrong?

I would lean towards blank edition field. 4 Hilarious Movies seems like a tagline or blurb from the distributor to drive sales.
My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it!

I agree with huskersports. Sounds like marketing to me.

"4 Hilarious Movies" is not something I would put into the "Edition" field.

It would be a new UPC and not an alternate profile since it has a different UPC.
