How limited was the run anyway? I'm in no rush to get this, one day i will but not at silly prices.

I think it was estimated at around 8,000. That is a lot compared to some low print runs grails like T2 2.0 - 3k, John Rambo - 2k, Le Grande Bleu - ?, and of course Gladiator TW - 50? lol.

It is 'rare' because many collectors are holding onto them but they are still floating on ebay from time to time.

Le Grande Bleu - 200

Seriously, are you kidding me? Another person added to the block list... one of the dumbest posts I have ever seen. Tired of reading posts from newb's like these. Where is a dislike button when you need one.

Why block him for just voicing a opinion? I personaly dont collect because a steelbook is rare, i collect because i love the artwork and look of a steel, couldnt careless how rare it is.....

I would not pay the amount they ask on ebay for it.... And lets say i had 2 and someone wanted to trade it for another steel i really wanted but wasnt as 'rare' i would trade it.

If it gets a reprint or not (which i doubt) im very happy with the Iron man play.com steelbook.

Couldnt agree more - it appears on here that hardcore collectors can belittle "newbies" yet if its the other way round theyre untouchable. Each to their own everyone always says - yeah right!

It's the same everywhere when it comes to reprint old rare title. There's always pro and cons and certainly people on both sides of the argument. I wouldn't mind if this saw a reprint, but that will cause long time collectors to simply leave the hobby. It is what it is, one can wish and certainly everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I'll admit, it's something I'll never understand. Enjoying something just because others can't get hold of it. I guess people are different that way.

It's just what being a collector is, you get a limited piece because well it's limited in theory. IM FS as well as a few others never saw a re-release. This art hasn't been touched or released elsewhere in the world.

8,000 ? and its selling for 800 and up?

 

[IdeaOfEvil]

Yea, I wasn't collecting blurays yet (steel or not) and bought the steel version of this on dvd instead.

Sucks, cuz I want a steel copy of Iron Man on bluray to go with my other Avengers/Marvel steels, but the high prices aren't worth it to me =/

You know why because that opinion undermines the whole idea of collecting, period. Regardless of "value and monetary gains". Only thing that opinion achieves is a feeling of "whining". You think its unfair newbs get belittled but the other way around its not? You wanna know why? Because newbs are always the one coming around thumping (in high numbers I might add) around saying how its unfair and how high the price of a particular steel is and that they should reprint so there sorry asses can buy it. Do you see how effing dumb that that is? Its like someone saying I want a 67' Shelby GT500 and because I showed up to the party 50 years late they should start up the production factory and make more 67 Shelby GT500's so I can have one for msrp and f^ck every single person that paid $150K to buy an original from someone. That someone who spent 50 years taking care of his Shelby like it was there own child and preserving it and putting time into it. How stupid is that?

Hmm gee this land you bought for $500K 10 years ago is now worth $2mil. Naw I think you should sell it to me for $500K because I want it now. Dumb, right?

That one above you says he wants to be able to buy it for the artwork and not the rarity, right? Should we re-print Alfred Stieglitz's work because oh one little person that loves his prints and wants one in there living room? Its just artwork, right? Right so lets print it over and over since we can.

Why dont we print some of Henri Cartier-Bresson's work while were at it so everyone and there mother can put one in the kitchen and oh re-create a DNA replica baby of Leonardo Da Vinci and commission him to make 1000 more paintings of the Mona Lisa so you and me can have one in our basement. Its the dumbest thing a person could ever say.

Either way you look at it when a particular item wether sought after for rarity or as a piece of artwork it simply should not ever be re-printed or re-created, period. There is no one person here or elsewhere that can convince me or make a compelling point otherwise. And Iron Man FS is the Mona Lisa of steelbooks make no mistake about it.

 

[Horhay]

Take it easy there, it's part of a old time collector to convey that ideology into new collectors. Popular titles are always going to be subjected to be reprinted, it is what it is. Business is business whether we like it or not. I will tell you one thing, that fs artwork was very very very close to being done in the UK a few months back . So take it easy.

This happens with lots of hobbies, newcomers always want what was released before.

I had to crash the party, just because reading over the opinions/thoughts of each person does make sense in their own right. I do see each side and how each side feels, but at the same time, who is really right? Who is really wrong? Opinion is opinion, and collectors collect for many different reasons.

For someone, be it a new member to this site (who might be only that and not a new collector in his/her own right) or a veteran member (who would love to own something that they missed out on), to desire a re-print isn't really undermining the whole idea of collecting. What it could undermine is a specific type of collector's purpose for collecting.

Something considered uncommon or "rare" is enough of a reason for some people to collect on that fact alone. Others collect because they enjoy/like the item and the rarity is of no real concern. Some collect because they have a completionist attitude and HAVE to finish up a series or theme or whatnot. There are a ton of reasons, but just because the rarity or limited print run is important to one person and is the sole purpose of collecting something, doesn't mean that is true for the next collector. And that being said, just because two collectors differ on why they collect, doesn't diminish the fact that they are both indeed "collectors".

I absolutely see the desire for reprinting things, and when you mentioned artwork it struck me as odd simply because a very large amount of people do buy reproductions of old paintings and artwork that are priceless and impossible to own. Hitting up Amazon and typing in "Mona Lisa reproduction" yielded a bunch of them... one specifically as an Art Textured Oil Painting on Canvas. Some people would simply like to have that art piece on a wall despite it being nothing more than a copy. For some, having a one-of-a-kind or "original" and knowing that internally is enough to satisfy. For others, having other people recognize that what they have is a one-of-a-kind or "original" is the way they are satisfied. Some people just like to have what they like. Again, different opinions/motivation/beliefs on collecting.

Me personally, I collect what I collect... be it Steelbooks, video games, prop replicas, etc. because I like that stuff. My first movie Steelbook was Iron Man (DVD) since at the time I wasn't on the Blu-ray Bandwagon, but I had been into Video Game Steelbooks/Vivas long before then. Buying something and learning that it it went OOP or really rare is a bonus since if I ever decided to part with those things they are worth more (though, things are only worth what someone is willing to pay). People that do have the rarity as their number one reason makes sense just as much as my reasons for collecting, and at the end of the day, if we collect something for any reason... we are all in the same boat. We are collectors.

How can you call a collector a newb or noob? People collect in there own way, and for different reasons, thats what collecting is. Noobs dont exsist amongst collectors.

Go outside and get some air would be my recommendation

Each to their own and a bit of respect would be lovely

And on that i will exit this thread

 

[tenderheartbear]

I'd be quite happy for it to be reprinted exactly the same as it'd allow those who missed out the first time to get something they clearly want. I certainly wouldn't lose sleep over the fact it was no longer as rare or worth as much.

Having said that, I still wouldn't get one as I'm more than happy with the Play.com version. I only buy steelbooks for movies I want and in the packaging I prefer. Not once have I ever bought more than one copy of something to make money or trade at a later date (more fool me I'm sure).

 

[Old Bones]

FS will never reprint this so get over it , have a snack

 

[thewoe]

I dont care if it gets a reprint, just not kool when someone digs at someone who missed out. This steelbook isnt all that anyhow.

Totally agree, way overrated... I actually prefer Play.coms version!

Of corse you would. But if everyone will have it all the idea of collecting will collapse. As long as it is rare we are collectors. But if everyone will have it we are all users. There will be no difference between metal case and plastic case.

How you gonna feel if you will come at work and everyone dressed the same. Same here.

 

[prodigy1985]

Who cares if it was to be reprinted or not. It already had a print of 8,000 what will a few thousand more hurt its value.

Enough said.
I don't know why people are still complaining? Like my mate just said, "FS will never reprint...", so get over it.

Play.com one is better.... "So get over it"
