Is Bigger Better? (As in Steelbooks!) - Jumbo vs Slim Steelbooks

[digitalbabe]

Ahem, as in "Jumbo" Steelbooks of course!

What do you think of the Jumbo Steelbooks? (i.e UP and Monsters Inc).

Chime in!

I think they are OK but i prefere normal G2 Steels. They look better in my opinion and they have inside artwork! On top of that the jumbos take up to much space.

I prefer the slim ones, they look neater in my opinion

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

Fat, thin, jumbo, slim had them all

Variety is the spice of life

 

[Le Marquis]

yeah baby yeah

I was just looking through this thread and then looked at the Jumbos I had and the G1's and it dawned on me that I have always regarded Fast & Furious (UK) set as a Jumbo. It's not, it's just a regular G1, very plain one at that. Suppose the plastic slipcover just makes it look bigger. Personally have nothing against them: have the usual suspects as well as F & F:L'Integrale (FR) and most recent addition of The Dark Planet (DE).

Best to be as slim as possible, the bourne trilogy steelbook shows how it ought be done...(albeit horizontally)

 

[Drum18]

I much rather prefer slim.
I've modified my Jurassic Park, Monsters Inc and Up! The only one I kept is LOTR.


And here's a post from another thread that I thought could be usefull here:

Just a quick mod I've made to make fit my GmbH sleeves (from Masterblaster GB) for a Jumbo:

It's 2 sleeves cut and reglued together. It's not perfect (look at the spine) BUT for me, it will do the job and protect my LOTR jumbo

i really like my band of brothers and the pacific tin. would love to see some other series in a similiar way. imagine all your favorite tv shows as a complete set in a tin.

 

[Earl Nuce]

Yeah, would be nice to see TV series in jumbo steels as opposed to the tins like Band of Brothers came in.

 

[xxquartzxx]

only have the 1 jumbo - Jurassic park and that was soon converted to normal size ...

hate them !!

 

[EverythingBlu]

yet to own a jumbo but recently been looking at getting one, like ultra stallone now only 19.99euros great thread!

 

[Sir Hilary Bray]

Only own the Dark Knight/Batman Begins jumbo, and I love it!

Would like to see things like Family Guy get a jumbo, which would probably be required due
to the amount of discs.

I don't like em. They are big, ugly and bulky...

Normal steelbooks is that pure beauty!

 

[The Guvnor]

I think jumbo steelbooks look better than say three separate amaray cases stuck inside a cardboard box, like the UK releases of Spiderman Trilogy or Matrix Trilogy for example. These would look much nicer in a jumbo steelbook or even a standard G2 steelbook for that matter.

 

[bigbrother]

I dont like the Jumbo steels as they look ugly next to the normal sizes

 

[Afterdeep]

Personally I don't like them that much either..

 

[mehbeh]

jumbo - junko

 

[tuffeerik]

I like jumbo steelbooks very much!! I think they are awesome looking and i wish they were used more!

 

[ABjerg]

In my opinion, jumbo's are ugly. I would probably never buy one.

 

[RajLondon]

The only jumbo I have in my collection is UP FS. Personally don't really like them and will only source if they're rare, hence the 1 in my collection
