Some nice arrivals today.
I got Paul from Germany, for a great price, and it looks great.
Cinderella is from zavvi's disney buy one get one free. Still waiting for the other three I got from this deal. This one is quite classy and fits the film like a... slipper.
Batman '66 is pretty basic but I had to add it to my collection as I love me some Adam West kitschness.
Finally, Taken is from zavvi and I think I like the overall art more than the play version.

I do, i just took them all out of their steelshells for pics. And thanks to you making me question myself, I actually have 315 blu-ray steelbooks. There are 325 things pictured there, but that includes a few VMB, some MetalPaks, and video game steelbooks.

Soon to be 316 once I pick up Back to the Future from Target.

Killer collection. That Matrix steel is fantastic. Love the design, it has been tempting me for some time.

When The steelbooks for Divergent were released, we were graced with 2 superbly done ones. The FutureShop Exclusive Steelbook which had a very nice Artwork, front and Back and inside as well and nice Disk Artwork. It had a Matte Finish, but it was one that was very well done and it worked superbly with the color tones of the steelbook. FutureShop came out with one that did justice to the movie and did not let IMO the Collectors down. It was one worth Collecting.

The Other one for Divergent was a WEA Release by the ''Entertainment Store'' and they took a totally different approach for their Steel Design. It has Tris on front Artwork and Four on the back, it has a very nice Design, It is a very Classy Steelbook, very well Glossed Steel and debossed Title(for a change). Again the second one worth owning. For Divergent we were graced with those 2 exquisite Steelbooks.

But when INSURGENT Steelbooks came out, the Steelbooks that had same artwork for Canada/US and Italy are absolutely atrocious. It is almost as if whomever did the ''Artwork design'' for this Steel decided to use the worse Artwork out there for the 2nd Instalment of the Book Series. I was very let down to the point that I could not buy such an awful Design which I find it Insulting as these are intended mainly for Collectors and It should have been at least on the same level as the FutureShop Exclusive for the first movie. Side to side Divergent FS looks so nice and slick and INSURGENT BB/ is laughable ! So I basically bought the Amaray with Lenticular flip flop effect as I found it was the only option. The FNAC Edition is also ridiculous with such a minimal design, just a glimpse at it and it's an obvious pass.

When I discovered the ''Dutch Exclusive Limited Edition Steelbook'' it is when I found the only Steelbook worthy of this INSURGENT movie. The WEA Artwork is simply Superb and I am Thankful that the Netherlands decided to craft a steelbook worthy of being on the same level as the first 2 steelbooks of the first Movie Divergent. This Artwork we have seen on some Amarays, but on Steel it makes it looking even better. They even took the time to make Custom Artworks for each of the Disks that it contains and they are very very nice ones. I love when a retailer/company designs a Steelbook and do take the time to Craft Artworks for each of the Disks. To me it shows they care about their Product. I bought one and when I received it, I found it too beautiful to open it, [ Darn OCD ] so I needed a 2nd copy to be able to open one and it was all worth it. It has a nice embossed Title (with smaller french one even though I don't like french titles on blu-ray or steels since it is the only one out there worthy of owning and the french title is small and unobtrusive and well translated may I say. Overall this is THE Steelbook to own for INSURGENT.

This is NOT an Easy Steelbook to Order, but if you buy from Burt's Shop you will not be disappointed, I was greeted with the most amazing Customer Service showing that they care about their customer and from @Apollon's feedback I knew I didn't need to worry about being well protected for shipping(but still included a note in my order for OCD copy). Both Copies received Superbly Flawless you can see much care was put in selecting the steelbooks and packaging them well protected to be received in same condition as when it was shipped.

Now for once I can provide very nice pictures as I have upgraded my phone [ finally ] and the picture quality is showing the best attributes of the steel. the back artwork from the pictures may not show well but it is spot gloss and a very classy feel. In any case if you love this movie this is THE copy to OWN !!!

PS: I will have to post if the disks are region locked as stated or they actually are Unlocked(didn't try yet).
