If G1's make you happy buddy, thats all that matters.
I love my G1's they are what I started collecting when I started collecting steelbooks, keep in mind there wasn't a single G2 bluray steelbook in existence back then. I think the first US G2's were the Bonds in 2008, can't remember which came first though I do kick myself over choosing G1 over G2 at times just because the cost is crazy for them now. Iron Man, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I am Legend I chose G1 over G2 even though I had the option for both.
I have a near complete US G1 collection, one of these days I will finish it. I wish we could get some more love for G1 and even include them in the collection manager, I could help there been collecting them since the beginning. I think the first ever US steelbook was Boodnock Saints.
I have one I don't see in your DVD collection King of the Ants
I wAnt Bee Movie
Yep it was a first look studio release, I kind of fell out of collecting when the first look line flooded the market (contract, breed, king of ants, immortal etc...). They were D movies that just came out of nowhere, in fact most of the US G1s I am missing are First Look Studio steelbooks (dog soldiers, how to recognize your saints, strays etc...). The nice thing is that they can be found for dirt cheap and I mean dirt cheap a lot of them sell on amazon for less than the shipping like 96 cents for some of them.
I got back in the last year and kind of got obsessed with G2's and catching up with those I missed. I actually helped found the first steelbook website back in 2008 (it was all G1 then), back then most steelbook discussion was done on other sites as just a singular topic like I started the original thread at joblo.com that spawned the website. I did pick up a few G1s I missed like Hard Cash and Eye See you when I got back in the last year though.
I am going to post some of my spreadsheets that I found last night here so people can see the glory days of G1 haha (I am a little shocked I paid $170 for my X3 I totally thought it was lower).

It was a Futureshop exclusive I think it 2007 or 2008.
Here is some more old school G1's (I need to take new pics as I have added a few since then).
I do have Narnia all xmen. I do love cartoons. Gonna do tomorrow raid for it. Second hand stores, I am on my way!!!
The X3 might be the most difficult to find it was the holy grail during the day (most went for over $200 at one time). It was a futureshop exclusive but the price has come way down on them seen them on ebay for $30 with no bidders in the last couple of months. The other two X-men were Best Buy exclusives and common as heck should be easy to find and cheap too.
That's pretty cool even if it's not blu-ray. I'd buy one if I could find it locally!
I've been on the lookout for some of the old G1's. Wanted and Hulk are my top priorities. I haven't seen the X3 until this post. I thought there was only a "Tin" edition from Target.
