So yeah, I was surprised their was no topic on this one ... it's the holy grail of all things SteelBook. (least, blu-ray steelbook that is.)

Its been sold for $500 and 300 euros just for the empty case alone. Super rare, thought to have been limited to only 2,000 copies.


And this last pic which is nicely laid out came compliments of Tiger, a hardcore collector

If you look at the photo of a copy I once owned, that was a true sealed copy.

• A true sealed copy has to have the two stickers.
• The shrink wrap where you peel it off it has to say the blu-ray small writing on there between the narrow peel off lines. That blue sticker has to be stuck on it.
• The stickers are hard to peel off so if you see them damaged on the edges then you know it's restuck on.
• The shrink wrap on the top and bottom has a specific folding pattern and looks worn out.

If it does NOT fit ALL of those criteria it's fake.

Would that mean the steelbook itself is fake or the seller is trying to pass off an open copy as still sealed and make more $$?

Sorry when I said it was fake I meant the re-seal was fake. On my previous conversation I was discussing how a lot of JR 'sealed' copies are fake. Most of them are re-sealed. Because a sealed copy is very hard to find and the price tag between an opened and a sealed is a big difference.

Still prefer Snow White & The Huntsman Swarovski Edition as the ultimate grail.

If ever there was a bidding war for that who knows what it would reach.

Same here. Not that I'd ever be interested in buying it (not my kind of film), but that steel is truly deserving of grail status IMO.

Photo?

There's a thread with plenty of photos here mate...

That's the one I own.

 

[Hereticz]

How were these even possible to get?

 

[BluSteel2012]

Just seen one sold an ebay for £620 today crazy

Between eBay and PayPal fees you can knock about £90 off of that!

 

[sunnyx]

That's the one I own.

Do you have any idea what the market value will be?

Do you have any idea what the market value will be?

No one does, as one's never undergone a bidding war.

For me, there's SW&TH Swarovski, John Rambo, and Future Shop's Iron Man as the grail of grails. But personally I class anything with a value over £100 as a grail.

A friend said he would come over to my house to show me his sealed Rambo steelbook. He arrived in a Brinks truck with 2 armed guards. That's a bull story, of course. But also bull is paying more than $100 for this thing.

I thought you had an Original Sealed Copy. All sealed Copies had this Sticker, also at the German DVD Uncut Steelbook !

If I was scammed then the person I bought it off who is a member here was also scammed. And the member I sold it too was also scammed, as well as the buyer who bought it off him lol.
