Have you ever "Quit" collecting Steelbooks?

[Wreck]

I thought this might be a slightly different and interesting topic.

Ever so often I see people quit, and some come back etc.

So have you ever "Quit" collecting steelbooks only to start later on?

For those who are reading who have quit entirely, what made it easier for you? Just stopping, selling some, all etc?



Me personally, I started like gangbusters but then toned it down to great degree to where I'm able to collect moderately

So yeah, I have no plans of quitting ... this is just a unique (me thinks) topic for our community.

Crash-good for you-I imagine it can be a tough to get to this point. But I imagine you are glad you did

It was a little tough to get to the point I am at, but since I quit actively collecting them "all" at the end of 2009, deciding to sell at the beginning of 2011 was not as difficult as popping it all at once. Just go half way, pull back, and then go all the way later

I ..... envy ..... you. lol. Though I'm happy with how I collect, but your way is so much more efficient.

know when to quit. this guy didn't and now he's screwed.

Damn. NOw that is something that should be preserved forever.

I think rock and roll hall of fame or something should buy that.

I've been able to keep the temptation in a leash. I've only bought every SB that I liked. I probably have like 50 total. It's very expensive habit.

 

[blu-steel]

I still have not opened 1 steelbook from my current collection and I do not intend to.

I am pretty sure that The Matrix will be my first steelbook of the new collection, and it will get opened in the car moments after purchase. It is my rule to ensure I do not walk down the old path again

Which pill do I take? LOL.

They need to make a Steelbook Shake to curb our appetite, LOL

I agree, fascinating video and incredibly sad that no-one is interested in taking on the collection.

For my own collecting habit, I like the idea of having a complete set of something - obviously in the world of Blu-ray disks this completely impractical unless you are mega-rich. I've decided to stick to the BD digibooks that interest me and the occasional steelbook as far as my budget allows me.

I will be slowing down greatly for the next few months. Kind of hard to collect when your at work on a fishing boat in the ocean. LOL. Of course I still have orders in and will be on the internet hear and there in between fishing trips.

BTW I opened up a steelbook today. RE Trilogy KOR. It looks mighty fine out of its wrapper.

Sounds like a cool job, for those who like adventures and hard work

 

[blu-steel]

You forgot Terror and Pain. LOL.

 

[Sigill]

I started of just collecting the odd steelbook then i got into reading forums and then got one or two imports. I then thought no foreign writing only english, off course that lasted about a week! Lol. I am still quite conservative about the steels i buy, i need to like the movie and if its one i really like i will collect multiples. I only feel like quitting when i get a damaged steel or when the steel looks mint till you remove the back paper and there is a big dent, that annoys the hell out of me!

 

[BluRayJunkie]

You forgot Terror and Pain. LOL.

The Perfect Storm. Maybe a Steelbook. Awesome!

 

[Blu-devil]

I will never quit. Luckily I have a very supportive wife (who collects shoes) and a good wage. I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to collecting, but will only collect movies I will actually watch. I will NEVER get a resident evil Steelbook as I absolutely despise those putrid movies. I am so glad that Crash is not quitting tho, that cheered me up.

 

[constantine]

tried many times to quit, but always failed. ha ha . . at least now i become more selective into buying some titles

I really love that movie. I think they portrayed it perfectly. Of course the end was kind of Hollywoody.

I would love a steel treatment on that one. Make the boat embossed.

I guess there will be involuntary "quit" periods when the wallet is empty or the wife has hidden the credit card.

LOL, maybe offer to take her out for dinner every 10th steelbook.

Now that is whats going to cost, not the steelbooks , but the dinner

Take care John
