Not being a Lost fan, but definitely Lost.         I can only say this taro,consistency only applies  relative to the Rules. Eacg title and profile stands on its own merits. Many time long-running series have been handled inconsistently by the Diostributor, for example beginning with a Digipak release and then changing to a Keeper or a Tinpak. SAo juust be sure you are putting consisrtency in it's appropriate oplace and that has nothing to do with unifying data that should not be unfied.

That said  let's see if i can interpret what you are saying. First off like I said i suspect Lost uses a Slip CASE not a Slip Cover (aka O-Cover or D-Box). A slip cover has TWO openings top and bottom. right side left side, whatever TWO openings. A Slip Case has a single opening, there are one or two that had cover that closed over the opening...but that's a totally other story. The information that I have been able to obtain would indicate that the Parent is Slip Covered, but i have no idea what the Slip Cover is over, you indicate Keep case...Yes? If that is ciorrect then probably both Covers need correcting AND Cover data is incorrect which is why it is generationg a double banner. AS to scans it sounds like the distributor used to different methods, 1 or more Seasons had Keeps the same as the Slip and one or more have different Keeper covers. According to the Rules, I weopuldn't worry about consistency, I would more than likely simply apply one cover scan set to the children when they match the parent cover, and child images when they don't...very easy.

If I can help, let me know.

What fif on 4 was to copy the parent profile svan in hr child profiles, you pick up an extra Blu-ray banner that way. I just tried it. If you are going to enter them as a copy of the parent you have load up to "edit cover image" and trim the top Blu banner off.

I usually don't buy Blu-ray TV shows, but Amazon had one of their specials, all four as a set, of the day and every body was raving about the Bku-ray copies Lost, so I thought I'd try it.
I had never seen the show as it was aired, not bad. The extra features are pretty good also.

For season 1, 2 and 4, it's a slip cover (opening on top & bottom)
For season 3, it's a slip case (one opening, one the side that opens with flap, held closed with velcro)

Those maybe your defintions but don't forget that so far as DVDP is concerned (I'm pretty confident here) a Slip Cover is a slip of any opening (side, top/bottom whatever) around a single case; a Slip Case is a slip of any opening around multiple cases - though I accept this is almost always to the side - ie. a Slip Case is what used to be defined as a box set but the name was changed to avoid confusion with the box set Rules (because not all box sets (case type) were box sets (multiple films in a single release)... err, if you see what I mean)

Voltaire, you are 100% right and Woola & I were wrong. Indeed, with that definition, all LOST seasons are in a slip cover.

Might I add then that a good example of a slip case would be the blu-ray release of the Star Trek TOS movies?

I think I got the general picture now. Thanks for clearing that up.

You can definitely say that for the Dutch dvd releases of Lost. The first box had each disc in a separate thinpak, and with each season the size decreases. Season 5 was just released with 3 thinpaks (2 + 2 + 1 disc). And yet they cost the same when they are released!

Skip, you appear to like Disney (who releases Lost): Talk to the man! 

Taro,

The cover properties and scans of child profiles of these season sets should match their parent profile.  Please don't drop the slip cover scans for the child profiles.
