I think the back is a thin cardboard sheet.

@Drum18 Do you have the Future Shop set? Or do you recall what the shelf is made of? Wood or metal?
And is the back something else like cardboard?

Of course I do. Used to have 40+ in here!

It's all in Metal as it's made from Scanavo.

Really? For a Group Buy? You managed to find that many without spine slashes or damage to the shelves?

Of course it was for a GB for members here at HDN. My 1st GB ever to be honest. That was quite an experience. My wife still remembers the exact date we did this crazy trip!

This was back in 2011. When I'll get home, I'll post some pics from good old memory lane (since they were deleted here).

Back from memory lane. (see the original GB that started it all)
9 hours.
10 stores.
300 Km.

Original listing:

All individual purchase to ensure all boxes:

The result:

And finally, I was able to get more for 15-20 others...

@Stygian

Stores were full of individual steels:

And after all this, stores had empty boxes to give…

And lastly, for anyone complaining about defects on this release (or US, or DE), remember in 2016 ? It was a slashed spine galore!

Yes I do remember the spine slashes on the Future Shop releases. I had to get 3 of these (and they were hard to get) to finally end up with one good set which was for somebody else. Any set that was on a shelf in-store was immediately banged up.

@Drum18

My mistake. It was Best Buy at that time not Future Shop. If I recall I think we were in the forums waiting for restocks.

@Drum18

Great pictures in all 3 posts! That's incredible. I wasn't familiar with steelbooks back then so I wouldn't have seen any of this in the stores at the time.

Thanks for sharing :thumbs:

Can anyone confirm what finish the steelbooks have in this set?

The U.S. ones are matte.....

virkia · Nov 10, 2018

Really goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway) that for the International crowd neither steelbook set is ideal.

Fingers and toes crossed for a ROW set with English titles and the same gorgeous spot glossed artwork . . . will be as perfect as it's possible to be for any HARRY POTTER steelbook set anywhere.

Matte (US) ........................................................................vs. ....................................Spot Gloss (Germany and France ... so far) . . . quick comparison of a few of the steelbooks from each set:-
