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.

NICE!

We're badly due a Jackie Brown Steelie as the french one is pretty rubbish and has forced French subtitles. :(

A nice Canadian release keeping in style with the others would be awesome! :naughty:

I was on vacation in toronto and picked up Sucker Punch, Shaun of the Dead, The Wrestler, and Inglorious Basters for $60 USD! Awesome deal!

That IS a great deal. Nice one :scat:

I loathe printed backs. I make a few exceptions but in general, a clean steel trumps a cluttered one. IMO

I agree. I'll always choose back artwork over printed releases every time. Love Canadian style Steels :scat:
 
This voting needs some clarification on exactly how many steelbooks we own. Here are number factors invovled:
- Does this include duplicates (duplicates is identical copy from the same release, re-releases is different). A lot of us tend to buy more than 1 copy for trades/sale but should this count?
- Iron Packs/Metal Paks/Viva cases?
- steelbooks that are PAID and in transit?
- DVD steelbooks?
- Video game steelbooks?
- What about damaged ones? Do they count? As you probably have a replacement copy for the damaged one should this be counted?
- What about the steelz that are in the process of being sold? Should these not count?

I spent 2 hours doing an exact count and recording every single steel case I own. However, depending on the above factors I am between one tier and another.

- Iron Packs/Metal Paks/Viva cases? No
- steelbooks that are PAID and in transit? I think it's fine
- DVD steelbooks? I would say no, but I would understand if people include them
- Video game steelbooks? Yes
- What about damaged ones? Do they count? As you probably have a replacement copy for the damaged one should this be counted? No
- What about the steelz that are in the process of being sold? Should these not count? Wouldn't count

I put my opinions in red besides your questions. Other people would likely have some differing opinions though

those futureshop packaging envelopes are TERRIBLE...one punch in the back insert creates a ding that you'll never see until you open it.
 
I have 78, I need to take a pic of them spread out, I have 3 on the way Eye See You, Hop and Hard Cash.

Funny thing is I took this pic a week ago and its not even accurate anymore haha (added the 4 resident evils over the weekend and got a Lion King in the mail Monday) plus my Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is with my other Harry Potters and my Doctor Who season 4 is with my Doctor who seasons.

So look what came today. Big thanks again to Carllenc for the awesome giveaway! :scat:

But although he said this was for an empty steelbook I was most shocked when I opened the case to peek inside.

Who knew the Halbblut-Prinz was a western! :hilarious:

just received today from my friend Drum!



thanks a lot buddy! :)

Nice pickups. Gotta watch out for the tag on the back of the second deathly hallows movie, cause it can cause an indent.

Drum's a really cool guy.


Nice Video!!
