Japan SteelBooks™ Thread

[SlimJim24]

Being a Japanese steel enthusiast, I wanted to open the floor to everyone who wants to talk about anything Japanese steels.

Share pics (cause mine are terrible quality), ask questions, and maybe learn a thing or two. Heck I wouldn't even think there'd be a problem if you have any really cool slipcovers to

Maybe somebody will even start threads for other countries

Hope to hear from y'all soon!

Mike

That's the black one of the silver one? I'm not huge on terminator.

---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

And yeah the slip I can't figure out what to do with either.

 

[earthscope]

Sliver.
I no not mad on Terminator myself but its one classy piece of a steel. My buddy has it and also the black one and they both feel like they have been carved out of a sheet of steel !!!

I even thought about putting the slip back on and then carefully wrapping the whole thing in Saran Wrap.

 

[SlimJim24]

Haha. Do what you gotta do

It's a shame that it seems like those are the only two.

I'm so pumped bout some of these upcoming steel releases. Such potential!

 

[Elena]

Prometheus added. Actually quite excited about this if a slip is part of it !!!

Hi SJ, can you add Star Wars prequel trilogy to the list? it's only shown original trilogy

Thanks

So I need advice about where to go next. Steels, digis, slips. Anything JP. Just let me know what you think is awesome and try to include pics! I really need help on this!

This one

The slip is blended with the cover, I love this kind of slip, like Jaws, E.T, etc..

Japan Rules

[SlimJim24]

Yeah. That's the only reason I won't buy the Spider-Man steel. It'd be worth the triple dip which I NEVER do, but no slip = no go

Nice additions!!!

 

[mytran80]

Wraith slipcase makes me drool every time , wish they made this a steelbook version in Japan

 

[SlimJim24]

Can't wait to see the pics for sky fall. Me likey the slip. Will have to find one somehow

 

[nyel24]

The Spider-Man one is amazing.

 

[earthscope]

@slim. Hey bud will post a picture of Skyfall JP as soon as it arrives.

Really glad I kept my order in with yesasia as I was not 100% sure it would get a slip, what with the slip less Spiderman !!!

Nice surprise though. Plus the fact that it sold out on amazon & yesasia, makes me think it might be a bit rarer than the other versions.

Hey buddy, I liked your pictures (Iron Sky & Spider-man). They are awesome .

That's cool to know about Skyfall. I've been checking Amazon.jp everyday and even subscribed to the in-stock notification to place an order asap. But there have been no updates yet. Didn't think about YA then, and now I don't know how to get it. Do you have any idea if Amazon.jp will ever it get in stock?

 

[blu-steel]

Why did amazon have to split the order and ship Skyfall by itself.

Thanks Buddy!!

I think its best to just check daily on amazon.jp for Skyfall, as their email remind service can be erratic.
I placed my order with yesasia, a couple of months ago but it sold out quick with them too. Hopefully they will be dispatching it soon, as release date is listed as the 3rd of April. I am also after a second copy now I have seen the slip so will be checking amazon regularly myself and if they get more stock will PM you!!

Thanks mate. That would really help and in case I happen to know it first, I'll PM you .

Let's hope we get it. And BTW this is the one to get. Check this out: https://www.hidefninja.com/forums/showpost.php?p=512118&postcount=17

This was posted by Aprilarrow in reply to a question asked by Steelknight47. It is the same question that we have been asking since the time the Asian countries started releasing the same steels with different slips and driving us crazy

This is because only a limited prints were made and the number was so little that even the domestic market couldn't get enough, that explains why these online stores ran out of stock so soon (This fact was mentioned by someone at this forum itself, now I'm not able to place the post/thread, but this is what he said, if I remember correctly).

Rain, I was so close to cancelling Skyfall JP as I thought it might be another Spiderman with no slip at all !!!
So glad I didn't
But if I had then you might have grabbed it....

Will keep my Bat Radar on 24/7 and if I find you a copy buddy on amazon I will add it to my order and let you no.

No problem buddy, happy to help if I can....

So it's better to keep it sealed, and believe that there's postcards inside of it, lol

 

[SlimJim24]

Got a copy of Dredd preordered! Pretty excited about it. Still need to find sky fall though. There haven't even been any put up on eBay yet. Crazy!
