Is there a place for despicable me, thai metalpak anywhere on any lists?

I've been told it's rare and hard to find, however i have no idea of any value?

Scratch that I have found it in stock at a retailer so it has no place on the lists here

K no problem, thanks for your input. Once it goes OOP let me know

The Terminator hk needs move up one spot.

 

[Aprilarrow]

Bump for all members, to give due credit to sunnyx for his detailed analysis, whilst I am still chasing Bolt FR metalpak, and hunting down its fair value...

 

[MENTAL MAGPIE]

Terminator Salvation play.com new sealed went well under £30 on auction yesterday and it was a well know seller, the re releases have killed the price of the play.com version

 

[RajLondon]

It's the influx of the Swedish version that has killed off the Play.com version. I'm sure that's what you meant

Glad I sold mine now.

 

[chanfm]

And I am now glad I never had one....LOL! Come on, guys! The value will come up again. You can't keep a good steel down. Also, T5 will be here before you know it....

 

[Drum18]

Sticky!

 

[sunnyx]

Sticky!

Oh you would wouldn't you! meh back to my homework again

The values have changed a lot now due to the influx of releases and fluctuating, hence why this thread has not been updated. I need to wait until things have smoothed down a bit for an update to follow.

Stay tuned!

I note down this can sell for a premium, question is, how popular is this to maintain it's demand? Because it's a small sticker on an identicle steel raises this question.

Evil PM'ed me what he acquired Bolt for. All I can say it wasn't cheap, but affordable to grail collectors. Nowhere as crazy as something like TDK Fnac!

Yeah I saw that one, I suspect (I may be wrong) but a lot of shill bidding really pushed this steel unexpectedly to £100+ to give its false value.

Glad I sold mine now.

I agree, and it is still selling at £9.99, and best offer accepted at £9! Wish I sold mine for a £100, but then again I do need it for me sealed collection

And I am now glad I never had one....LOL! Come on, guys! The value will come up again. You can't keep a good steel down. Also, T5 will be here before you know it....

Something about 'UK' titles how collectors all want the UK versions to complete their UK sets. Such as marvels, Thor and CA HMV more expensive than the other european releases. When T5 comes, it might shoot back in value

Congrats sunnyx! It is all due to your hard work!

Not just me mate, everyone contributed to this thread, negatively and positively, and off the thread is just as important. Thanks for your input!

I still like this thread a lot, fully support it's existence, and appreciate all the wisdom that much more experienced folks than myself have put in... But it might be time for an update re: Le Grand Bleu JP. It's rarity can't be questioned, but a copy just sold on eBay for ~$123.

I didn't think Kimchi's release would impact that value as much as it has, but it totally makes sense.

Thor JP and KR still seem to be commanding a hell of a lot. I wonder if it's time, at minimum, that the JP copy finds itself in the top tier?

I watched that auction also for the Le Grand Bleu JP.sold for peanuts.strange thing is,it seems as though the seller has relisted it,unless he had 2 copies.its currently on £22,with 2d 4h to go.looks mint,and he states that it is,with only 1 tiny paint chip

Very well done sunnyx and all here at HDN for there support..

Hi, I am still alive everyone, although quiet, I have been observing from the background

The steelbook market values has completely changed and it does need an update to reflect the values and order. But the update will not be accurate due to the influx of releases that reflects the values of rare steels which is why presently there is no update.

In relation to grail steels, most of them will remain in the top ten, but where in the top ten will need to be shuffled about.

In relation to LGB Japan, from observations, it is fair to say (and I said this before when the re-release was announced) that the Kimchi version of LGB has devalued the steel completely. That is the effect how an identicle release can impact on a grail.

Generally speaking, Asian steels have devalued considerably and with the Asian grails slowly dropping in value. This was inevitable and only a question of time. However, most of the Asian steels will remain in the top ten because in general most steels have devalued and no new release has gone up to silly prices yet! It is just re-arranging the correct order.

Will keep you posted!

My dear friend, yep, here we go, a perfect copy :



And here's your Top 10, last updated in June 2013 of course. It has changed, somewhat again, lol.



And lol, yes, I have Bolt already, albeit not sealed. I have decided not to pursue a sealed copy.
