if you go back 2 year's its just a few months before play.com started rolling them out,120 in that year or so. they sold out cause they were good prices iron man 1 and 2 for 10.99. steel. (that pun was awful) i think it evens itself out in all honesty,yes because start to collect steelbooks and learn about them but a lot of people stop too,if you look back on the old play.com steelbook threads you will see a lot of members who like me and you both had a lot of posts on hidefninja and now you see no sight of them,i think it evens itself out1 year ago a lot of people did not know what a steelbook was that's changed now
My steelbook collection has increased 200% in the last year alone
YouTube Videos etc and sites like this have given lot more attention to steelbooks
Its because of the increase of people knowing about steelbooks and buying them we been getting a lot of back catalogue release as steelbooks
Look back to 2 years ago the number of steelbook releases compared to now
I am curious how many new members have registered to this site in the last year and last 6 months
Its good for all of us the more people start buying steelbooks as better chance of a back catalogue getting a release
When people stop buying steelbooks then the studios will stop releasing them or they will become very limited releases again
But as more new customers know about steelbooks and start buying them there is more of a chance you will see back catalogue release you never expected
If you into buying steelbooks as a collector expecting there value to increase that will diminish except for very limited releases
I myself have told people about steelbooks and they are now buying them and they did not know what a steelbook was
When you have lot of releases you will get people noticing them and youtube has played a big part as has HDN Website a major part in developing the interest in steelbooks
I don't tell people about SB's because if everyone and their momma knew we wouldn't have any...oh wait....
I live by the military adage. Outta sight, outta mind. If people don't know then it leaves more for us. I'm sure all the people that are buying SB's know aren't even doing it to collect. More then likely they are doing it to flip and make some sort of profit.


This is still sjrprisingly available across London Fopp stores. Just spoke to the covent garden branch and they have confirmed 50 plus In Stock for those interested. Priced at £23.

Same story here. I was allowed to buy only 1 (this will obviously be for myself). There were only 2 or 3 left on the shelf. One had a dent on the top left hand corner, one had a torn shrink wrap with some hairlines scratches and one seem to have some paint chip on the edges. So sorry guys.![]()
