FNAC SteelBooks™ thread

[Aprilarrow]

Given that threads for all the key Asian countries have already been started, I have to go west and start one for....FNAC.

Here they are, fellow collectors and FNAC lovers...

The G2s

The G1s (oops, I took pic of the wrong Contagion, will replace it soon)

And those without the banner

I am missing one notable FNAC, sob sob, but I am on it. Whoever has it, post it!

Rob it's the band that says "Edition Speciale FNAC". The green and white sticker is just a bonus sticker but the important one is band.

Ah ok, thanks bud - I'm glad you said that cos I peeled the green and white sticker off all mine!

Some are more than a sticker ... some (many) include art booklets etc. or posters. And then SOME are just simply the sticker.

 

[Ricker]

But if people don't open them. What's the point? There are just so many people that are willing to pay a lot of money for something to look at.

Pics up in OP, spine pics coming up! When put altogether, nothing comes close to the rainbow of colors of FNAC steels! Viva la FNAC!

Amazing collection "Aprilarrow"!

 

[Wreck]

same with art collectors. But I guess its typically larger scale... ;p

Tell me bout it. I'm getting into artistic movie posters and it's leaving me destitute

It is better to leave all the stickers on. I personally would prefer buying a copy with even the price sticker on.

The funny thing is I've owned many of the rarer titles in Aprilarrow's collection and sold them all at one point or another for not very much money. I just never thought Fnacs were worth very much and I never got much for them on eBay (e.g. Terminator Renaissance, Shutter Island, Body of Lies). I'm just amazed at their value now, which seems to have leapt up quite recently...?

Actually, come to think, it's not a 'funny thing' at all..! Doh!

I try not to think of prices and values too much. I just buy them if I like them and can get a decent price. I keep them; a few are displayed. What do I do with them? I stare at them from time to time. I pick them up and feel the steel through 2 layers of plastic protection - shrinkwrap and ploybag. Doh! x 20........

That's all fine and dandy and I agree I don't dwell on their value if I get a good price like my Future Shop Iron Man I bought day of release, it's well used with minor paint wearing off due to taking it in and out of it's spot over the years. But it's hard not to think of the value if you pay $75+ for a single steelbook off eBay for example due to being a shlep and not following the releases for a year (guilty as charged for being a shlep). I won't be missing out on future releases this is a fact, and will do my best to join in any future group buys of foreign Marvel releases from this site.

I love my Fnac exclusive steels but i'm missing two of the older releases Clash of the Titans & Inception i also have the Dredd Fnac tin on the way thanks to my ninja bro axcraig,
I'm not really bothered about the bannerless steels other than Thor & maybe one day a sealed Wolverine the Rise of the Planet of the Apes box is a Fnac which i opened.

 

[Aprilarrow]

Filmwizard, very nice! Those who admire FNACs (and you are many), please open up Filmwizard's attachments. Those who dont (and you are few), you are free not to open them...

If you are an Open up & watch Steelie kind of guy ?

then these things are like any other Steelie Brother

Very nice collection! Btw, I didn't know there is an Inception FNAC. I don't see that in AA's pics.
