A little fun for long-time or new collectors, alike

In considering the year, feel free to include DVD Steelbooks in your answer.

Have fun!

Bought my first BD steelbook back in 2009 (TF Revenge of the Fallen FS Edition) but only started collecting for real in late 2010 when I started buying some Disney from Ebay when they were still affordable and that I thought 40$ for Monsters Inc was high! ...

Old memories...

My first blu ray steelbook was ... The HMV Exclusive of "2012".. I scratched it, opening the cellophane with a knife . That was the first rule of steelbook collecting I learnt.. & now I am Hooked...

End of 2011 for me. Black Hawk Down (DE 1st ed.) got me hooked. Picked up the Disney FS/BB wave titles since I wasn't collecting then. Then more and more. I thought I'd be done at 100, but that milestone was passed long ago it seems.

Can't remember when I bough my first steelbook but it was a DVD one.

Been collecting blu-rays for a while, but just became interested with steelbooks when I joined this site a few months ago.

In 2011 I bought Blade with a few others outside of the forum. Once I joined HDN I signed up with Drum's GB for the whole set of Harry Potters with the Harry Potter collectible steelbook shelf. From then on I was hooked. I believe the next one was the German edition of Shooter.

Collecting per se it was in September last year (although I thought it was October, lol). My first one was The Dark Knight (DE), in January, but the seller I got it from sent me the incorrect version, so I returned it.

So I waited a long time before I could find the version I wanted again, which happened to be in early September. Man, I still remember the feel of it in my hands. For me, who hadn't been able to collect even DVDs because I was broke, having a Steelbook as one of my first BDs was a thrill.

The rest is history.

Started collecting in 2012, first steelbooks I bought were Drive(HMV) and then went a bit crazy and probably overpaid trying to get the ones I really liked like The Dark Knight(FS) and Inception. I've got about 50 altogether with some just bought to boost my collection like 10,000 BC. Probably a bit more choosy about what I buy now though and try and find a bargain if I can so I don't pre order anymore. I've got 1 digibook so far which is The Sting and would like to get more of those.
