Hey Ninjas!

Some great SteelBooks were released in 2018. As it's customary, it's time to share your favorites in the SteelBook collectibles category for 2018, in our 8th annual member nominate your Best Standalone SteelBook (artwork, finish, embossing/debossing).

After the nomination period ends around mid January 2019, the individual voting poll threads for each category will be opened after we tally the nominations by category, and you will be able to vote until end of January, 2019. The winners will be announced early February.

Any Steelbooks that were completely released, shipped and in the hand of customers by December 31, 2018 are eligible.

Please nominate your 3 favorite picks in each category and respond with your selections in your reply in this thread.

Feel free to use pictures, to share with fellow Ninjas why you've made that choice.

Voting closes end of January, 2019.

Have fun everyone & thanks for being part of the hidefninja.com community!
 
I very rarely vote in these because I can never make up my mind lol.

However, I just received my copy of this steel today and felt it deserved a mention!

Wait, isn’t the point of stand alone steelbook to nominate a non-slipcased/premium style, packaged edition steelbook?
So a steelbook with j-card at most, or JUST the steel and discs itself?

Either way I gotta think on this so will edit/add my votes later
 
Nominees:

Blade Runner 2049 FilmArena CZ
Hereditary UK
Pan's Labyrinth KimchiDVD KR




Honorable mentions:

Ex Machina Manta Lab HK
Justice League Manta Lab HK
Wind River FilmArena CZ
Prometheus FilmArena CZ
Sicario Plain Archive KR

I'm new at this, but yeah, that's what I interpreted it as. But I'm reading all nominees as referring to the steelbook itself, not the slips, etc.
