We're excited to announce our upcoming Steelbook project featuring artwork by the very talented illustrator, Karl Fitzgerald. We believe many collectors have seen his artwork online such as "Blade Runner", "Kill Bill" and others. We've always admired his work and style and we are very happy to work with him on our next project.
For our latest project, Karl has created an "American Psycho" Steelbook illustration paying homage to the original book cover. We're truly impressed by how he's captured the essence of the film in his unique way.
If you are interested in seeing more of his works, please check out the websites below:

Pre-order information for our Steelbook will be released soon through our retailers.
Thank you for your support,
Manta Lab

I used to open everything right away, especially when I started photographing each edition for a local forum. But after a decade, and the collection being so large, with many movies being re-released, I stopped doing that, until it's necessary, i.e. I want to watch that movie, and that particular edition has the only disc/version/best quality.
Otherwise before I get to it, many years pass, and another edition might, and usually does, come out, that I'll likely buy. And then I can sell or gift the previous one sealed.
So that's my reason - a decade long watch list.

I'm pretty sure there's many who don't buy sealed items to keep sealed, that are in the same boat of collecting; at a rate faster than you can watch... myself included.

We all have a sealed collection whether by default or not.

1. i want awesome editions of the movies i love.
2. i want the best condition possible, so sealed is the only option for me!

there are enough pics and videos on the forum and on youtube, so im fine with that. and when i want to watch the movie i have the standard amaray.

a question:
some people buy one clicks and open even all steelbooks. why? it's the same damn steelbook in every slip.

it's our way of collecting.
Yall do realize you're arguing with a cat right?

Finally got hold of my copy…that had been delivered to my old address and left in a leaky shed for almost a week, with a family of mice for company (good job Manta package well)…only to find they sent me the wrong version. Ordered the Pet and received Double Lenti A. However, in hand, I’m digging it and think I might actually be glad of a screw up for the first time ever.

Just a heads-up for those that discover stains on the steel:

It’s the Blufans Man of Steel thing again. Use a hair dryer with high heat and watch those stains disappear.

I’m pretty sure that first shots of the Steelbooks with those many scratches came from the same first try that I did with a microfiber cloth. But also those hairline scratches will disappear with a hair dryer.

Just realised these didn't come with j-cards... wish they'd do that for all their releases tbh, because my OCD won't let me throw them away, meaning I have boxes full of useless bits of card.
