Japan SteelBooks™ Thread

[SlimJim24]

Being a Japanese steel enthusiast, I wanted to open the floor to everyone who wants to talk about anything Japanese steels.

Share pics (cause mine are terrible quality), ask questions, and maybe learn a thing or two. Heck I wouldn't even think there'd be a problem if you have any really cool slipcovers to

Maybe somebody will even start threads for other countries

Hope to hear from y'all soon!

Anyone get Taken 2 from Japan? Wondering if it comes with a slip or not.

Anyone get Taken 2 from Japan? Wondering if it comes with a slip or not.

it has the same slip design like skyfall JP...someone posted a pic in the "last steel aquired" thread recently

Here's a pic I found.

 

[blu-steel]

Thanks you guys!!! Not to shabby. I would have preferred a taller slip, but its not bad. It looks exactly like the Skyfall slip. The thing I like is it has no Taken 2 on the slip itself. All Asian slips should be in the native language for the slip. The English is already on the steelbook itself.

 

[Researcher]

I love this steel already

[Researcher]

Cheers Alex. And you can say that again! It's like a Zimbabwe supermarket out there. Prices keep going up every hour

Nice Steels mate ! These Japanese steels rarely come with a beautiful slip like World Invasion: Battle LA but when they do, they are super sexy. But I still know that TW is your B*tch for sexy slips, for me as well lately btw

 

[earthscope]

The last slip they did that was awesome was for Iron Sky..

This wave from WB is slip less but at least Amadeus is a WEA and a cracking film.

Japan are really lagging behind TW,KR at the moment when it comes to slips! But I have bought some Digipacks from Japan recently and the slips on those are
Plus there's a bluray limited edition of Iron Sky coming out in August wich has a full embossed gold slip... That one is going to be my new top *****..

If that's the case, then I'm seriously gonna get the Iron Sky with Gold Slip. I already missed the steelbook , but not the limited edition . Never bought any digipacks from Japan though. If they are really that cool, then I think I better start collecting digibooks too
