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

Also, what is the blue one, second from the left on the top of your picture newkid? Looks interesting.

Sorry to jump in, but I think that's the Akira Blu-ray Tin

A thing of beauty!

 

[blackberry]

I think this is bluray tin, not DVD. I can go home and check my copy...

Another Thor JP was added and sold from one of our members sales thread this morning. I guess you just have to log on at the right time.

Y'all are right though, we'll keep price out of it.

Please bare with me as I have class all day today. But later I will do some research and try to update the list as accurately as I can.

Thanks for all the input

Alex, very nice collection. Glad people are giving their JP steels some attention

Thanks

As someone who lived in Japan for a considerable period, it is arguably the most expensive home video market in the world. I have met lot of sales people in the stores who keep complaining about the pricing. I befriened few of them and got many Blu-rays for cheap by importing from US / UK. They were shocked to find out that the exact disc is sold at 3 or 4 times the price in Japan. It is all about creating a hype and artifically boosing demand with fancy labelling.

Anyone seen this before ?

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Tsutaya exclusive)

Great Thread SlimJim.

Love JP Steels, and I am glad there is a thread just for that purpose, as I was also becoming reluctant to shout about my love of all things JP & Slip related because of some of the comments that were made.

I love the slip on MI and also the full slip on Battle Los Angeles.

Defiantly a couple of my favourites. Currently waiting on my JP of Skyfall, hoping for a nice surprise with the slip on that.

Think this is going to be one of my favourite places to hang on HDN !!

Ok, here we go...

Not big into the MI franchise but I've gotta have that steel for the slip.

Yeah here we can show slips all day. No spoiler requirements, the more pics the better!

Aprilarrow amazing pics!!!

Loving a lot of those spines. This thread is going to be painful for my wallet. But I don't even care

2012 looking better each day to me. Uh oh

 

[earthscope]

I agree. Great Slip.

Dont you mean 2013 !! Its looking at AA Pictures that have made you dizzy.

PS iron man 2 looks amazing. Too bad its not the first movie though.

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

PSS. I've decided to buy a laptop this weekend so I'll be able to get this thread in proper order. For those of you who can take professionalish pics (like pbtour!!!!) please post single pics and I'll start updating the OP with individual steel pics - if this is agreeable to y'all.

I'll leave Thor to someone else as my pics won't do it justice

 

[earthscope]

Only Joking.

Get the new Retina Mac Pro !! Just got one and its awesome.

I do worship at the fountain that is apple though.

Two more JP I love.

No slip on TDK but being a Huge Batman fan its still one of my favourites.

So this is the people with lots of money thread?

 

[lgans316]

Correct. I am pretty sure that majority are affluent folks (not me).
