*For retailer-specific chat, please visit the new Retailer Steelbook Zone here
This is a thread for those new to the hobby or those with general questions about collecting Steelbooks, including retailer-specific questions.
To keep things organized, please keep all trading talk in the Trading forum, and search for specific Steelbooks for more specific title-specific questions.
I am sure our seasoned members are happy to provide assistance, so please don't be afraid to ask-we all started this addiction somewhere. Regardless if your collection is small or large, someone here can probably help.
Have fun!

Nothing against Dave, it's UPS that made me upset. Just wanted to clarify that.
and ideally I'd be off to the US or Canada to stock up but as I am going to another country I thought I might as well ask as P&P for most online retailers cripple me on the prices.
