I’ve been stalking this forum for a short time and really never commented, but got a lot of good information on premium steelbooks. Finally joined 2 group buys including this one. I noticed that some of you get these but don’t open them to enjoy. Curious.. Is it because you collect the steelbooks (design) and not actually enjoy watching the movie? Or maybe for resale value (investment)?

Everyone's got different reasons for not opening certain steelbooks. I open probably 80% of mine, but I have trouble opening the ones that were especially hard to get/expensive/rare. It just feels like a prized possession, and opening it exposes it to scratching, etc. Though I have to say, nothing beats opening one of these premium packages and enjoying everything within it.

Many also keep some sealed to sell in order to fund future purchases. Nothing wrong with that, other than buying up every release and then scalping it.

Good point. I open a majority of mine. If I get a ONE CLICK, I usually open at least one of the slips to enjoy. Usually its the full slip.

You have to open at least 1 slip in a one click, IMO. I dont open all 3 because usually the contents are the same.

Theres this french chap who I won't name, his entire collection is sealed, hundreds of premiums, its just sad....whats the point? Its must kill him not to open them...so good question, whats the point does this french chap hope to sell them in 10 years, will they become comic books? its bizarre.

To each their own, some just like to have everything mint and to maintain and increase value as much as possible. For me I buy to enjoy so I usually open Premiums the day they arrive. I have to have a good look at everything from the slip to the steel to the booklet and photos that come with. And in most cases I try to just get one edition of every movie I want, because there’s simply just too many to buy. So I also watch the discs to enjoy the movie as well!

It is Current Practice for a while now that Blufans Releases have ''Different Bonus Items'' for each individual Editions.
Same goes for HDzeta Golden Label Boxsets and FAC
So when you get the 1-Click(or multiple editions), if you want to see all the Bonus Items, you need to Open all Copies.

Ah yes good point, iI notice HDZETA and Blufans are doing that. Mantalab however still have the same content.

I love this way of doing things so much better

Yes I noticed that for JL which is Very Strange
I hope they won't be going Backwards regarding this I think the ''Special Pack'' is still Included in the Boxset though.
