This particular thread is to showcase new and recent additions to your collection and showcasing your entire collection.

In order to allow for smooth scrolling and loading, on multiple types of devices, we're asking our community to work with us to do the following:
1. Please try and resize your pictures prior to posting them as it helps the loading times for you and your fellow collectors.
2. You might want to consider posting your pics in the dedicated media section found HERE where you will be able to take advantage of the amount of filters, resizing, and other features if you use that interface.
3. Please use spoiler tags when posting more than one picture of the same steelbook.
4. If you receive more than one steelbook, please take a group shot, not a picture from every single steel.
5. If you receive more than a single copy of one steel, post pictures of a SINGLE copy please. If they are for a group buy, then those pictures should be posted in the group buy thread and NOT in this thread.
6. If you wish to show multiple steelbooks from different angles, please use spoiler tags.

I ordered a bunch of embossed steelies from amazon.de.

This is how they shipped it. All of them were packaged in extra cardboard :scat:, however, one of them didn't come in one :rolleyes: I'm not sure why they did that....

I ordered on Jan 10th, and received Jan 20th...not bad for their cheapest shipping.

I have the same Storm Warriors steelbook from Amazon.de on the way but did not know that it is embossed. Can you share some pics as I might like to grab an extra copy or two? :)
 
I believe storm warriors is region b locked and no english audio if my memory serves me correct. just a little fyi

It's hard for me to capture it because it's debossed instead :) The chinese writing and the title is debossed.

The other one I got is embossed...

I have been becoming a embossed/debossed freak collector...nothing else matter if it's not embossed/debossed.

I'm going to replace it with the correct disc with english subtitle :scat:

Oh man, me too Mayflower. Embossed/debossed steels are my current hunts. I am so getting a second copy of this and had thought about the Goemon title but now definitely adding it to my collection.

BTW May, did you use red envelopes with embossed characters for Chinese New Year? I found them at World Markets :)

@Wreck, I had the impression Storm Warriors is dubbed in German and English. Oh well, then I will have to follow May AGAIN and get the UK edition to replace it :D
 
where is my red envelope???? :D

yep, I will only pay premium price who meet BOTH two criteria - EMBOSSED/DEBOSSED and inside artwork. Those are the two must-have in my collection, otherwise, I wouldn't bother chasing after them. If it doesn't meet those criteria, then it is a FAILED :D

You must avoid most German steelbooks. :D
 
I buy what looks good, but I won't pay more $100 for a steelbook that doesn't have debossed/inside artwork.

As a matter of fact, I think most of my steelbook came from Germany :scat:

fyi ash, I found a link from bd that shows the debossed...

Agreed. Especially on the inside artwork. It's so heartbreaking when you open a steelbook up and it looks like you are looking into a box of aluminum foil.
 
so true... :scat:

I would be so sadden paying $100 for a steelbook and open it to see a blank aluminum foil LOL.... If it's $20-$30, then I don't mind :)

Funniest thing ever happened to me! Went to future shop to exchange a couple of games for my stepson, talked to the guy in there, and one thing let to another, we spoke about steelbooks, and the fact that I had FF on pre-order. Then he asked me to follow him in the back and showed it to me! So awesome! I've noticed that they had some old stock as well, and asked if he could hook me up with some. He then took 4 and gave them to me:

- Skyrim (G1)
- Battlefield 3 (G1)
- Call of Duty Collection (G1)
- NHL 12 (G1)

He said he'll give me some more next time :D

Sorry guys, no pictures, my camera is broken, but they look nice!

How lucky is that!

Biscuit, after all that you'd through with FS on that Hangover 2 monkey, you deserve this special gift. In fact, I think you should go back and take all they've got and give them to your fellow Ninjas here :)

@Mayflower, whose b**bs are those? ;)

If I end up with doubles and triples, why the hell not! As long as you pay for the shipping, I'm down :)

No!!! :angry:
Mehdi!!! Damn you!!! WHY... oh WHHHHYYYYY these NEVER happen to me????



Oh... yeah... I don't speak to FS clerks because they NEVER care about steelbooks... :rolleyes:
Well... except when they see me with 10-20 steels in my hands... I dunno why they want that I go to their cash... is it because they're paid by commission? :naughty:


You always surprise me my friend with all your stories... and the worst in all that is that after meeting you, I believe them!!! :hilarious:

Well I'm no bullshitter :hilarious:

And do you know he gave them to me? because I've said these exact words "hey man, can you hook me up with some of them?" and he did :)

I so wanted him to give me one of the Final Fantasy ones, they had plenty! He said he'll hook me up depending on the pre-orders they have.

Crossing fingers!

Mayflower I restored your pic with the chica with awesome ta'ta's .... We've always allowed scantly clad women so long as its not on every thread all the time ;p

If you still want it deleted, then go ahead but I figured you deleted it for other reasons.
