example: I just bought the "Lethal weapon collection" (UK) and added it to profiler. When I expand the set there are 6 identical pictures next to each other. I can't tell them apart. It looks a bit stupid to me. Is this normal ? Why not a different picture/poster for each movie ?

If the DVDs are individually packaged, you can and should have individual cover scans. If they are all packaged together there is only one source for the cover scans of that particular profile.

Locally, you can do what you like, for example borrow scans from other DVDs in different releases or localities.

According to the rules we have to use the original Covers as Images. So if there is a Box, no Slip Case, you have for all 4 Movies the same Cover and so the same picture.

Feel free to take other pictures locally and lock them, so there will be no changes by updating the profile.

In this case, it is.

Think about it: exactly which other poster would you assign to part 1, and why this and not another? 

That would prove too much of a problem for the online-db, but as Staid S Barr and awilbohk already pointed out, locally you can do whatever you want.
Find poster or cover of other releases and insert them, or if you want to keep the Box-Set-Cover and it is just the distinguishing that bothers you, fire up your grafik-program and do something like this
