What SteelBook do you REGRET not getting?

[Wreck]

Share!

This should be about steels you had a chance to get at release, but didnt for one reason or another. It's not about a brand new collector, who wasn't around for a release just regretting that. However, you can share that you regret not getting into them earlier if you are a new collector.

Maybe you own it now, but regret passing it up at release and paying more $$$ for it later etc.

Iron man

 

[Pud1804]

Metropolis, its the only one missing from owning all the UK releases,

 

[Jason Bourne]

The obvious ones for myself are Iron Man FS, Inglorious Basterds 1st release FS & Gladiator Aussie steel slipcase. Somehow still managed to get these after the fact.

Other ones that I missed at release and regretted.... Wolverine FR, The Book of Eli FS, Transformers 2 FS, Prince of Persia IP FS, Zombieland GER, Transformers 1 GER 1st release. I have all of them now except Wolverine France which Im still hunting for at the moment

 

[Colombianlove41]

Japanese steels, zombieland for sure, wanted, and transformers 2 from FS. jurassic media market And the back to the future ones about to come out. This thread makes me sad...

Drive UK steelbook...... still regretting this one.

 

[Ricker]

All the ones prior to me getting a BR player.

 

[Guinness7]

Zombieland and Ironman are the two I regret not getting. I have been with blu-ray and steelbooks since the start, but some reason when those two came out I guess I was not that focused on them.

Metropolis

 

[Ashcroft]

Metropolis must be a rough one to have missed. It was available forever at £18, with no sign of going out of stock. Then bam, riot.

Wolverine and Iron-Man..had both of these in my hands when they were available and put them both back on the shelf. I won't be making that mistake again.

 

[nabby]

Chinese Independence Day
Canadian Memento
French Shutter Island

I'm sure there are plenty more that I would have liked to have got on release.

 

[Roque13]

U.S. Hurt Locker. Had it in my hands and put it back

Roque

I regret getting in on foreign steels...concentrated on Canadian releases when I started but never got into the foreign release until a few months after...now I'm catching up...but part of the fun is the hunt...

 

[CraigH]

I regret not getting T2, Dark Knight and Smokin' Aces metal slips. Back then I wasn't into collecting, had no thought of them actually being a collectable item and just thought to myself "I'm not paying that much extra for the movie" and purchased the amaray...

DOH!

i regret getting into steelbooks to late

 

[poncholo]

i regret getting into steelbooks to late

+1 bigtime

I'll regret not getting Breaking Dawn for the wife if they don't restock them soon. Can't believe I'll miss out on my first in-store steelbook purchase...and I live friggin 7 minutes away from 2 best Buys. Never thought it would have been oos a day later. Lesson learned!

Same here!

Would have gotten Iron Man back in 2008 now considered the grand pubah of all Steelbooks

Also would have known about 1408 Zimmer and Germany's The Mist at the time

I can't complain too much because lots of lovely steelbooks have been released since 2009 as well

TARGET Iron Man Metal Case maybe???

But Wolverine...


I regret that i bought 2 of the TARGET Clone Wars Steelbooks (or MetalPaks) back then and sold them cheap on eBay as i was not able to watch them back then (region A!) and was not interested in Steels back then

 

[Leshita]

Iron Man 2 Taiwanese release, I picked the HK and Korean releases over it back then because I was not into those mini slips with the Chinese text on the cover... but now I want those.
