Anyone know why the Target DigiBook Edition of X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) is still not in the database - it's coming up on 2 months? Several subsequent unique Target editions are listed. I scan a UPC of 024543314219, the same UPC that Blu-ray.com lists, yet it brings up nothing. There ought to be a way of simply changing the UPC of an existing entry of the same movie and allowing those with the equipment to change the cover picture. All the acting and production talent are the same - even the slips except for a Target sticker. But instead, those of us with that version can’t list it with our collection - and the generic release is NOT good enough.

It's a user built database, so obviously nobody has bothered to contribute a profile.

There is: DVD -> Change UPC / Locality... from the menu.

Thanks! When I was a newbie, er, even newbier, I'd been told that it wasn't possible and never saw that choice. 

I haven't uploaded the BD with the changed UPC. The problem is a limitation caused by the system only allowing 2 images. Sometimes in the case of retailer exclusives, the slip is the same, but not the cover. In this case, while the slip is the same (and recognizable), the Target BD is encased in a DigiBook - which would not be recognizable as a cover for this movie. The title of the movie, and all info included with the slip, is missing. The DigiBook is designed to look like a small "yearbook" for Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters. So, the slipcover is integral to this package, but unless there's a way to include 2 more images ... it will never be clear how this version differs from the general release and therefore the listing will never really be accurate.

Yeah, only the front and rear covers.  I'd submit it, making any appropriate changes of course.  In this case if there are custom images you can use them for your local.  For example for the Star Wars Digipak I use images I scanned from the sleeves for the children in my local. IN your case I'd probably use the front for my local image.  That's one of the perks of DVDP, you can do whatever you like with your local.
