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.

This thread is for your last movie SteelBook. If it's another kind please use the proper thread below:

This will probably be the luckiest day in my career as a collector. I have a wonderful little story to tell with this item.
As I started collecting back 3 years ago I read all the tales of how beautiful the worldwide Thor release is and I wanted to have it too. So first I watched it go for crazy money on eBay. And I was disappointed because I didn't want to spend as much (that was back then, today it's different )
Then I came across a second hand shop for CDs, DVDs and blu-rays and I went in there to ask whether they have it and more precisely whether they even had it once. So the guy at the counter said "yes" and he offered to put my name down in the data base so that they could contact me if they ever got it in store. 1 year passed, got impatient and I bought the 3D version from the helmet edition from eBay for 60€. 2 years passed, 3 years passed… nothing… and then Wednesday morning I got a text from an unknown number that my reservation was in store and ready for me to be picked up for 7 days. I had completely forgotten and couldn't believe it. So I called them to tell me if it was this particular edition and the man described it to me and also told me about the condition. And here it is guys, my Thor (Blu-Ray Steelbook) (Müller exclusive) in very, very, very good condition for… 12,99€!!!! Special thanks to the guy that sold it in the store and very special thanks to one of the guys working there to not know its value.
Must be the bargain of the century and I'm so happy that I've got the steelbook in my collection two times. This will have a special place in my collection.
If the saying "the good things come to this who wait" ever turned out to be true than probably this time.
