Some contenders:

Will take more pics and update.

Oh my god. Is this the best slip ever?

I dont know. Korea has a bunch of slips this year that are epic.

Snow White and the Huntsman
Safe House
Fight Club
Alien Quad
Jaws

 

[sunnyx]

No really sunnyx....tell me how you really feel?

Okay what do you want me to say?

Snow White and the Huntsman
Safe House
Fight Club
Alien Quad
Jaws

None of the above apart from Fight Club come anywhere near Terminator. The pink slip for FC is also out of this world. All the others are quite plain in comparison, but still ace of course.

I should hopefully get Fight Club and Jaws in the next couple of days, so can post a picture of them side by side.

Terminator & Snow White are the the 2 best Korean slips for these films out there, Snow White slip is by far the sexiest one followed by Terminator but to each their own

Best looking Jaws will without a doubt go to Japan (the Korean one is meh) & the rest mentioned above are okey but nothing special but that's just me talking

I don't know man. Safe House is something else. So is Snow White. I think if you had them in your hand you would think otherwise. IMO they are all

You guys need to start a I heart Asian slipcover club

Never seen Safe House. Just seen it after doing a search:

Think you could be right.

 

[thedonguillermo79]

I nominate
Jaws Korea
Snow White and the Huntsman Korea
Amazing Spider-Man Korea
Terminator Korea
These I have in hand and they are a real beauty. I have tried and tried again to get Safe House Korea but have had no luck and I really don't blame people for not getting rid of it because its a triple take stunner

Asian slipcover discussion thread

New discussion thread created.

 

[blumaster]

If I'm going after an Asian slip, I want it to be a "continued image" slip. Those make steels look truly unique. Slips like Safe House & Terminator don't do it for me. They have a nice color scheme, but it's just a piece of cardboard with Terminator or whatever written in XXXX language. Basically the Asian equivalent of English slips. Nothing special, imo.

Slips like Jaws Japan & Total Recall Taiwan are where it's at.

 

[Steelknight47]

Fight Club & Alien Anthology are beautiful. If you own them you know what I mean. I used to own the rare Inception Korea 1st press, sort of wish I didn't sell it. Anyways I'm glad I pay retail price, I can't imagine paying eBay prices. I might decide to track down Terminator KR, just for the sake of its scarceness. Even though I think it is ugly it is the best of all the releases (excluding the Play version).

 

[blu-steel]

I think this thread should be moved to the regular steelbook section where it will get more exposure. Many of the hardcore have moved onto the Uber Expensive Asian editions so lets make the move please!!!

 

[DJHilalo]

This is only for steelbooks, not even considering Viva & Ironpaks hehe

Oh Taken 2 is gonna kick some serious a$$ too, can't wait for that

 

[Steelknight47]

I still can't believe Taken 2 TW is getting a full slip. If any title deserves it most it is the new 007 film. Taken 2 is rubbish.

Nice list, but Alien Anthology KR should be listed . The slip blended nicely with the art.

The main steelbook section is for release threads. That's why we have a Steelbook chat to discuss all other various subjects related to Steelbooks

 

[sunnyx]

The only slips I like are the actual slips, not the bent data card sheets. That to me is not a slip. TW do the best slips because it is actually a 'slip'. I feel folded rear data cards are very lazy and does not give a steel it's added uniqueness and rarity.

Some of the TW slips all blend into the steel such as TF 3, Underworld, RE 6. Those look awesome.

I agree!!!

Since I joined HDN I have been totally taken over to the dark side. Some people might think its mad but these Asian slips are Awesome!

Totally agree with this statement!

I know it's the wrong thread but what is he value of HMV THOR & captain america slips also play.com iron mans 1/2.

I might sell mine to cut the cost down of my purchased items as personally I'm not bothered about them but if it's pennies not worth selling

Sorry to ask is there a thread on j card slips?
