'Rare'/'Limited'/'Hard(er)' To Find SteelBook/Other Metal Eds List & Chat

[Sirjump]

*PLEASE NOTE: This list is a 'guide' only and compiled based on a variety of factors including community 'feedback' and 'suggestions'. Steelbook collecting is HIGHLY SPECULATIVE, and different collectors have different ideas of 'rarity', 'limited', 'sought after', and related terms-all of which may change at the drop of a hat with re-releases, or new info.

Please visit the Steelbook forum, if you have more detailed questions regarding specific titles, and their 'current' status, as this list is 'dynamic' and changes over time. *

I posted this in another forum before but I prefer this one, so I try again here. This is an ongoing list that combines a variety of factors that may contribute to the scarcity or rarity of these Steelbooks.-Sirjump

We started off with a "ranked" list, but as many folks may rank items differently, a general "resource" list of harder to find Steelbooks/Rare titles helps the community more. Feel free to comment so we can consider adding or subtract. -Digitalbabe

Keep sharing your thoughts & together we can help the list evolve!

Possible criteria as to what makes a steelbook rare/hard to find:

* General interest in movie
* Availability at retailer & exclusivity
* Print run
* Country of origin & region code
* Steelcase design
* (Initial) price
* Individually numbered items
* Print Errors
* Hype
* Price on 3rd party marketplaces

[Antman]

So, just landed The Mist (finally!) and it had this inside - never seen or heard of a Planet Terror bluray steelbook - is this one that never happened?

This was the flyer inside Der Nebel - I think it was promoting future steelbook releases due to come out after Der Nebel was released.

I've never seen Planet Terror on bluray steel (I know it came out as a DVD steel).

I think Halloween came out though.

Some of the more experienced collectors can perhaps advise us?

 

[MK50]

I am not 100% sure but think all except "Planet Terror" were released in Germany!
But "Das Waisenhaus" has different artwork...

Halloween looks great in hand (the flames and everything!)!

 

[whysoserious?]

Green Zone (AU) is on the list, but Sucker Punch (AU) should be

 

[fariz]

i dunno if this is the correct thread or not.

i want to ask, how much is the market value of Godfather steelcase from australia, individually?

there is one guy in my country that sell it just $32, but only The Godfather, no sequels

 

[BURRAGUM]

Green Zone (AU) is on the list, but Sucker Punch (AU) should be

Yes, i think suckerpunch (Australia) Should now also be on that list.believe me there is nothing in the stores,and i hav'nt seen one on ebay,for at least 6mths.im also getting overseas members asking if i can get them one..

Underworld trilogy Ger can go back on the list, its OOP for a while and going for over 100 dollars on E-bay.
