Counted as one choice

Taking this set off the shelf is one decision, so every ranking on this site counts it once: 2 visits, not 5 picks. Where the question is about films rather than choices, the set opens up and all five count.

102 different box sets have been taken

5 of these films have never been taken on their own: every visit that reached them arrived through a set. That gap is what "counted once" costs a ranking, and what opening the sets up recovers for coverage.
