[IRON MAN]

Happy Valentine's day Ninjas!

Which SteelBook was your first love and got you into this hobby? Feel free to share photos.

 

[IRON MAN]

I'll kick things off with the two that got me started:

 

[Kizza]

HMV Thor was my second steel. When i had that one, thats when i fell in love with steels.

The majority of people never stay with their first love. Second love is the keeper

 

[St4rlord]

HMV The Green Hornet steel roped me into it all.

That is long gone now, as are the other non Marvel/DC movies, but I loved the logo and simplicity of it.

Romeo and Juliet

Spoiler

is not it. Probably Wonder woman manta lab for me.

I remember having the DVD sin city and clover field steels and the avatar blu Ray steel and then the district 9 steelbook. I didn’t get another for a good 2 years until when I see the dark knight trilogy (single steels) up for pre order and started from there.
I remember then pre ordering those 3 and buying battle royale, old boy and hell boy but the first love didn’t come until HMV drive, zavvi finding nemo, Aladdin and roger rabbit. which I managed to get in the same week. Then I joined this site

Then the first premium I bought was kimchi Her and fell in love with well made premiums from that point

I started in November 2011 and both of these are Canadian releases, Futureshop to be exact.

 

[Mudmonkey]

The Great Escape was the first for me! Didnt even know steelbooks existed at that point when I came across it, Several years ago back when Sainsburys (UK) sold them online.

Sweeney Todd for me from Play.com. My first love was The Dark Knight Rises as i Loved the artwork and The amazing spiderman 1 hmv.

 

[Raggle Fraggle!]

This beauty got me hooked into the hobby

 

[Stygian]

For me it was the release of the Back To The Future Trilogy steelbook in Canada in 2015. It was released at the same time as the flux capacitor box set. I had never heard of steelbooks until then. I bought both editions.

My collection started about 2 years ago with the Quentin Tarantino Django and shutter Island steelboks while buying it off someoene local and not understanding the concecpt of it and the rest is history with the don't breath FAC a few months later here

 

[Hereticz]

HA, I wasn´t even sure what was my first steel until this thread, so I started to dig up old files with photos and also in my movie library in online database, and found out that my first steel was ...

...Metropolis - that horizontal one from Eureka entertainment in 2010, I found the old photos...(got it together with The Exorcist digibook at same time, man how I love that digibook

BUT, I don´t recall to fell in love with steelbooks just with that Metropolis, but it certainly got my attention, so I continue immediatelly, and steelbooks which followed were these :

aaaaand I definitely fell in love with those , so I continued and this was my first bunch of awesome steelbooks (I liked them all but I remember how I was amazed by that Total Recall back then, that was probably the one which got me most )

Thanks for a great thread @Apollon

The Green Hornet was the first one to make me feels ways about things.

 

[wjasoncul]

That Best Buy steel wave (of like 20) that included Matrix and the Lord of the Rings is what first got me into the steelbook hobby. Then this is first one I actively pursued because of how much I liked it.

 

[ChrisIW]

The original Predator (Play.com ?) release hooked me in and cost me thousands probably

 

[TheWorz]

I think HMV Drive was first buy and i picked it up by accident. After that my first love was the Canadian Inglorious Basterds with the gun butt. Still my fave of all time.

[Real Steel]

My first love ❤. The perfect cover for my no. 3 top-rated movie of all time. Saw it on Amazon and immediately had to possess it. And then it all started.

Great choice! IB Canada is still one of my top 25 favourites. And in getting it, I discovered my no. 6 favourite movies of all time - one that I can watch again and again.
