I dont know how long I will do this, or if people have questions ... but I'll check this thread daily in case people have questions about steelbooks etc. I'll try to answer to the best of my ability from what I am allowed to say in some cases or just info you may not have seen me drop before in past threads.

Is there a future steelbook you know about that you're really excited about releasing and can't wait til it drops so you can talk about it?

Also, with the recent Walking Dead seasons going to steelbook, what are the chances other TV shows might get the steelbook treatment?

Can we get some Breaking Bad steelbooks???
 
I imagine instead of having a theater room, you have your own small private theater lined with all your cinematic goodies.

Can you do a general showing of your home theater setup and/or collection displays?

There is some others coming, that I know. ;) Dont wanna give any hints or it might be obvious, plus its monthsss out.

Is there any reason why most recent steelbook releases from Zavvi are matte finishes ?

There is an EXACT reason, but its changing soon for the better. Not Zavvi's fault.

My "man-cave" is always evolving ... what it looks like one year, is always a big difference the next year .... tho I think that change wont be so much while im in this current house ... instead just more movies leaving and joining the collection. I've cut back on statues and stuff, so only get the "must-haves" for me now. I still buy lots of steels tho much more impulsively.

Don't hesitate to scroll down :p

ohhh how that is out of date! w00t

When ricster said that the gloss machine was broken he was right :hilarious:

Can you reveal the reason why? I know there's only so much you can reveal, but I think knowing the reason why would go a long way to restoring faith in collecting for a lot of members here and at other forums.

Yes because I'm told in good faith ; so if I announce prior to the contact wanting the info out then the next time they might not wanna share any info. And it could get uglier then that .... The respect goes both ways.

And we respect you for sharing what you can and withholding what you have to :D

You're the man Wreck, no matter what these other ninjas say about you.

Yes, and we all know you have to respect ......the chemistry, so when you post anything you have to tread lightly.... ;)

God, if they put out Breaking Bad steelbooks (with a 4k transfer since we're dreaming) I would die. My poor wallet, but I'd buy every season. They would look good next to my barrel. And they would need to come with a challenge coin :D

Hey Wreck, do you know why there are very few US releases this year?
https://www.hidefninja.com/community/threads/28833/

Where's the love? It's so hard to find "mint" copies in store, when I have to import I'm so afraid of what it might go through on its transatlantic journey.
cant speak on unannounced NA titles anymore. Maybe hints every now and then :p

more US titles coming our way :)

Definitely came true. Most of the recent ones have actually been glossy and some have inner art! Can't wait to see this trend continue, we may even get some embossing!

Hi Wreck, do you know if we can expect Die Hard 3 (4, 5) from zavvi anytime soon? I would love to see the whole collection together.
Same goes for Army of Darkness.
Thanks!

There's a BIG title coming that will have that. ;) Lots of good things finally coming together.

I havent asked, but I would highly suspect. I know that was the original idea to do the "die hards" so yeah ... expect.
