Missing (all on a bonus disc in the set):
We prefer to keep this box set as a 6-movie set (as stated on the box)
But of course, you are free to add the bonus features to your box yourself.
At the moment, there’s no other way to even get these films, so it seems odd to not acknowledge their presence here, or to “hide” the fact that I have collected another five movies in the process of purchasing this release.
If I were to want to look at stats, or see if I have the movie already—I’d never have any idea these were missing from my collection: or rather, that they aren’t, but that CLZ isn’t reflecting their presence.
I honestly just don’t really get the logic here? The collection entities for CLZ Movies are movies, and these are movies, and they’re in this set—why wouldn’t you want to acknowledge them?
If someone doesn’t care that they have them after buying this set, that’s certainly their prerogative, but it won’t change the fact that they in fact do have them.
@FangsFirst
I have lots of Box Sets that have “Bonus” films/features. Usually these cannot be purchased individually so there is little chance of buying them again.
I do however add them to my Movie Collector desktop collection on my own anyway. I am not entirely reliant on CLZ for all the info. I know if I were, there would be many “holes” in my collection. After all it would be impossible for CLZ to have all the info for the MILLIONs plus media Core they maintain to support us. I also realize CLZ is very reliant on IMDB and that too can be a cause of error. So I tend to add and fill in details where needed and not be to be too bothered when CLZ doesn’t see things the same as me.
That said, the times they are a changing.
Many folks like things a lot more “plug & play” and CLZ is keenly aware of this. Thus, the big push here for CLZ Movies and CLZ Mobile. I am a little more old school and like more details, better artwork, and customizability. Lots of folks are happy enough with the status quo.
Not me, but If I just purchased a $140 box set and entered it into collection I’d probably be tweaking it any way.
My 2 cents
@roybo Very similar boats!
I make plenty of other changes that I don’t push out or report (either because they’re purely for my purposes, hopeless pedantry,¹ or something similarly “small feeling”) in the same way you describe for my own collection.
This one (whole movies!) feels to me like it slots pretty well into that sort of “plug & play” approach you refer to (add UPC, it adds all included movies and saves me the time of finding them individually)², so for things like this, I usually try to submit for a fix because it feels for my purposes like a pretty “large” hole/gap: I actually have a movie and my collection doesn’t default to saying I do.
It’s different to me to get particular about the fields and details of individual records in a database (I do that and keep it to myself), but I’m not even sure what one is doing with a database if one doesn’t even care about having all the records in it. That just doesn’t compute for me.

You and me both.
¹"Distributor" is almost certainly my most-corrected field, but it feels like a hopeless battle outside my localized/personal collection so I just let it be for everyone else, as I think everyone’s going to feel a certain degree of ambiguity around what it means in the first place, nevermind how to write the names (I regularly go in and merge all my new “Lion’s Gate” and “Lions Gate” and so on into “Lionsgate”).
²I add feature length documentaries and the like on my own time and don’t report those because they feel more explicitly like “special features” so I understand why others might not be looking for those.
LOL That battle will never end.
So cheers to Warner Brothers, Warner Bro’s, Warner Studios - and the 500 Aspect ratios 
Oof. Don’t remind me of the endless aspect ratios!
I’d somehow managed to forget to check that anymore
