What SteelBook do you REGRET not getting?

[Wreck]

Share!

This should be about steels you had a chance to get at release, but didnt for one reason or another. It's not about a brand new collector, who wasn't around for a release just regretting that. However, you can share that you regret not getting into them earlier if you are a new collector.

Maybe you own it now, but regret passing it up at release and paying more $$$ for it later etc.

If I don't get the Cap & Thor blufans then I would regret not getting the HMV versions when I had a chance.

Sometimes, even members pass up very good offers...I bought 10 Pulp Fiction at £10 when Play.com had a fire sale...Only two members took up the offer at cost!

I regret not collecting steelbook earlier...

It's a great passion but so expansive.

I literally had the worlds end steelbook in my hands at hmv then I decided to put it back and maybe get it at a later date. Now I may never get it for a good price.

I've really only started collecting properly this year, so it would have to be Frozen for me. That said, I only collect steels for movies I actually like, and if I do ever make a blind purchase and subsequently don't like the film, I have no qualms in moving it on.

 

[valvar]

i had many chances to buy steelbooks that now are much more expensive...but at that time i wasn't interested in metal!!! one of this is Frozen

 

[Flash]

I got hmv drive steelbook when it came out but it was damaged took it back and didn't get a replacement

Didn't get the play.com iron man 1&2 didn't have many steelbooks then

 

[tenderheartbear]

I don't think there's any I don't regret not getting.

There's a few I do regret getting though, where either the steelbook, movie or both weren't worth my money. I lose track of ones I've bought, only to get rid of later because I didn't want to own them. The Percy Jackson movies, The Expendables movies and A Good Day to Die Hard spring to mind.

There's also ones with 3D plastered on them which I've kept but wish the 3D logo wasn't there (especially as I have no interest in 3D, and like to put the DVD in the steelbook when I can), Man of Steel 3D and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug 3D for example.

I'm new . Eternal Sunshine for a Spotless Mind, Novamedia full slip

 

[tokaman]

Thor HMV
Iron Man Play.com

These have both cost me a fortune in the past on the secondary market.

 

[toonminator]

Germany's Wanted with debossed logo (too expensive nowadays)
Holland's Red Cliff (hard to find a mint one)
Spain's Mirror's Edge (impossible to find alltogether)
Zavvi's Beauty and the Beast (too expensive nowadays, for my taste anyway)


I also regret buying a few:

- Futureshops's lenticular Looper Steelbook
Bought it before I'd seen the movie to feed my lenticular-fetish because it was one of the first lenticulars. Didn't think it was any good.

- KimchiDVD lenticular Perfume Steelbook
I thought I'd cash in on the KimchiDVD-hype and bought, but I'm still stuck with it. That'll teach me for being a scalper

 

[sieffer]

Yeah Definitely Thor HMV steelbook, DOH!!

 

[ocielz]

The Hurt Locker G1 Best buy exclusive steel
The Disney waves from Best Buy.
Let the Bullets fly

I slept through an auction on WORLD's END about 3 weeks ago on eBay. It went for $23. I wanted to throw up.

Thor (HMV) and Iron Man (Play)

Particularly Thor - went into HMV when it came out; walked past it thinking 'Oooh, that's nice, cheap too'.
They had them for weeks - kept walking past and not buying - still don't know why.
Ah well . . .

Yep, that's a third for me - forgot that one!
