2nd Annual 'Steelbook of the Year for 2012' Nomination Thread

[digitalbabe]

Hi All,

It's that time of year where we start looking back at movie Steelbook releases over the last year, and nominate our 'overall favorites' for a final poll in which you can vote in, in January 2013. This thread is only used to post your absolute favorites of 2012-voting is done in a separate thread later on. This is the Steelbook that you think has the best combo of art, features, etc.

Mods, please leave this thread in the main Steelbook area for now.

After nominations are closed in this thread on December 31,2012, a new thread with 25 choices (max a poll will support), (I will compile), will be posted at the beginning of January for voting through the end of January 2013. You can nominate any Steelbook released in 2012.

Last year's winner, as voted by the HDN community was 'Thor'. 2011 Thread is here.

A running list of Steelbook releases for 2012 is here.

Have fun!
DB

I nominate The Raid Play.com.

So much debossing for 1 steelbook, absolutely stunning!

Collateral has a beautiful finish.

Glad to see all 3 mentioned already, but for me:

Hunger Games D12 FS
Terminator Play
The Raid Play

 

[Axeqlusive]

No question... The Raid (Play.com UK), the debossing is really exceptional!

 

[TobinFrost]

Machete
Braveheart
The Raid
Iron Man

*THE* Steelbook of 2012, hey?
I nominate UK's: Serenity (Which is very unique, original, and chic).

Runner up: UK's Taken (Again for its originality, cool, and slickness).

 

[zerro0094]

Batman Begins or Dark Knight Japan/Korea (Didn't know they were released this year, but apparently they were)
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (Worldwide)

 

[ash333]

Simply has to be Play.com's The Raid steelbook for its clean but effective design as well as for pushing the envelop on the back cover art.

 

[The42stDoctor]

For me it`s "The Return Of The Living Dead" from the UK...

 

[Ripley18711]

I haven't seen many in the flesh so to speak but the best looking one I have is The Raid (play.com).

I also really like the look of Underworld Awakening and The Lion King.

I nominate The Raid (Play.com)

 

[blu-steel]

Jaws (JP) My dreams have come true as its the original poster art I hoped for and the JP slip is just so cool looking!!!

Underworld Taiwan. Enough said!!!

Prometheus Taiwan. Same as above.

Alien Quad Korea

Fight Club Korea

Paul Japan

Snow White and the Huntsman Korea

 

[kootezafra]

I nominate The raid

 

[Seus]

I nominate:

Titanic (MM Germany)
Braveheart (Play)
Terminator (Play)

 

[Andy CYP]

My vote has to be The Terminator (Play.Com). Not only was the Steel a amazing with its embossing and artwork, it was also part designed by the HDN community plus the disc was remastered resulting in the best transfer of The Terminator we have ever seen. So for all those reasons it gets my vote.

 

[Chandler_90]

The Raid play.com
Terminator play.com
Iron Man 1&2 play.com
Hunger Games D12 FS

Was the German Matrix released this year?

 

[Man of Steel]

Drive - Released on Blu-Ray January 2012 (Looks like it's been overlooked completely!!!)

Terminator (play.com)
The Raid (play.com)
Iron Man (play.com)

 

[Nedan]

My Vote:
Terminator (play.com)

 

[Grapey]

We must, must, must include A Trip The Moon - this is far and away my favourite steelbook of the year. It's unique and just beautiful!
