Everything collects dust, although I use bookcases with glass doors - I know most collectors don't.What do you do with the tat? It either collects dust or goes to landfill..
Speaking for myself I collect Steelbooks because they're a robust housing to protect my physical media and I personally prefer them to amaray cases
Get a biggerOkay, but what am I supposed to do with a steelbook that's too big for my shelf because it contains some posters and art cards I don't want and don't care about? Why waste the extra money?
I had to buy the Singin' In The Rain steel from Europe because the UK version came with pages of useless crap I don't want. I had my phase of posters and art cards, used to hang them up all around my room with all my movies. It looked hideous and I took them down, now I'm left with hundreds of little cards and posters just sitting in a draw collecting dust.
Personally, I don't get the point of it. It's just screen grabs from the movie and some posters, sure, they look nice but they usually sit in the case doing nothing. And I had to pay extra for it. Why waste the extra money on paper and cards I don't want and didn't ask for?
Yes, this particular poster, or propaganda posters from Inglorious Basterds, are very welcome even in folded form!Think it’s quite cool to get the poster featured in the film. Plus I’m really liking both the steel and slip art. Personally I think it’s a great look edition
Yeah I agree there. Tbh any film edition like that where it includes stuff from inside the film And not studio postersYes, this particular poster, or propaganda posters from Inglorious Basterds, are very welcome even in folded form!
All of my EB edirions arrived mint, but I wouldn't say that most of their slips are sturdy. Considering Zavvi's packaging, who knows if most will manage to arrive mint. You might be rolling the dice if you expect to receive the slip undamaged. It's possible that they are making sturdier slips now, but the description doesn't indicate that.You guys reckon the slipcover will be a sturdy slipbox?

Just woke up and confused this with the Rocky box set. Wrong thread.This is not a EB release
It's a trade wide release from Warner avaliable to order from multiple UK retailers

The other info still applies, though.
Just noticed I wrote Rocky instead of Rambo. Several hours later, I'm very awake. Not a morning person. LOL.You mean First Blood? Still not awake?
This is hurtful to read.I know that there was a guy would buy one of each Blufans releases then throw away the slips and other bits (they did find someone to buy those off them eventually). He did this because he collected steelbooks and had no interest in all the rest.
I started out with steelbook, but now I’m also a slip person, because I don’t open the SOBs, but even if I did, the goodies wouldn’t interest me that much (unless it’s a quality lenticular magnet), but there’s absolutely no fracking way I’d toss the stuff out. I’m a collector FFS and I know I wouldn’t want to buy it w/o that stuff. Hell, I’ve got video games from teh 80s with the ads that came in the box. In some cases I even have the receipt (no idea why).I know that there was a guy would buy one of each Blufans releases then throw away the slips and other bits (they did find someone to buy those off them eventually).

Personally when I go for editions I look at steelbook art then slip art and rarely even notice what else comes with an edition. But each to their own.
I wouldn't call it useless as else it wouldn't be a collector's editionYes, I know, I prefer the UK one, but not with all that useless stuff; I don' like GER/ITA at all
