Well, Gents

The time is among us. I have a couple of steels ready at in store pick up. Hope to snag a few more in store at opening. I'm predicting that these will be very nice, but nothing amazing. Like the last US Marvel steels. It's a shame that there is no title on the spine to keep the matching set going. I'm hoping for a US re-release sometime in the future.

I also predict that there will be very few perfect copies. If you look hard, like on Thor 2 BB & Cap 2 BB, you will see random nicks, tear in yhe shrink, spine slashes, those black scuffs/ scratches that matte steels tend to get, Mis-Aligned spines aka Stupid Spine Syndrome, and the ole' POP when you press down on it lightly that I hate with a passion.
^Those are all things I try to avoid? Some more than others. It's a shame that US steels seem to be poorly manufactured most of the time, but I guess that heightens the thrill of the hunt a bit more for OCD basterds like myself.

Any, good luck to all me ninjas out there hunting for that perfect copy.
If you see a 5'8, Caucasian male in dressed in all black with w black beanie power walking towards the GOTG display, stay out of my way lol

The dedication to getting this is admirable. But this may become the least rare steelbook in history. I can already feel the tilt in the Earth's axis from the Bajillion GOTG steelbooks that have been made! It's the biggest blockbuster of the year. Maybe, maybe one edition will be rare- but I ain't seeing it. Come February, eBay will be overloaded with 9.99 GOTG steels from rookie sellers who didn't understand that the market was flooded.
It's like 'The Death of Superman' comic, or Star Wars Prequel toys- people thought they where going to send their kids to college by buying up this stuff and it's not worth anything because the market was flooded.
Getting a GOTG steel is the least of my worries!

US Ninjas, if you are still looking to get this, Best Buy might make some available for in-store pickup after midnight tonight.

Good luck and happy hunting!

I know my BB said they had a very large quantity of the steels, so it might not be the rarest. That said I have one on order and I will still be going to the store in the morning and getting myself a nice copy to go with my other Marvel steelbooks. I don't think there will be a large amount on ebay only because I think that the steelbook community does know there are a lot of releases for this add to the fact that this will be on sale so I am sure lots of people will be buying this version over the amray given that they will both be $20.

Also and I sincerely mean this I really have no objection to how this steelbook looks.

Funny enough when I was at BB on Saturday a few people were asking about the steelbook for GotG and mentioned it was sold out online. I told them to check in the morning as the in store pickup usually comes up. For me I notice it is usually up around 8am but will check at midnight tonight in case

You are absolutely right the market is saturated and these won't sky rocket in value any time soon

I dontthink these will be Highly valuble either, I'm just going to hunt for a few minty copies is all. I'm not a seller. Plus. I need 3 for my christmas giveaway.

If I wanted to make some $, I would sell these:

But I'm not into that, never sold a SteelBook in my life except @ cost + shipping. -my time, -my gas, -my box and bubble wrap. You do the math

 

[NoDingsNoScratches]

Same for me actually! Always throw away steelslips, but the fullslips that come with some amarays, them i keep

It's called a "j-card" bruh

 

[phate11]

Sorry for possibly derailing the thread - what kind of plastic bags do you keep those extra large steelbooks with the full slips in? If you could point me in the right (direct) direction that would be awesome of you. Your collection looks great. Thanks!

 

[nkb32]

This will have some value around the time GOTG 2 and Avengers 3 hit. But yes a monsoon of GOTG steels will crash the net in a few hours lol. Is this glossy?

I'm not a seller either. I can do the math and see how money can be made (really just 2x to 3x flips), but that's really chump change in the grand scheme of things! (There are much better ways to flip something to make a buck!) I just love the movies and love buying a product made by people who love movies for people who love movies!
That's really awesome of you to do a giveaway! The only time I buy multiple copies are for gifts- and that always makes the giftee very happy!!
Cheers to you for doing the giveaway!

Well, I've never heard it put that way...but yes.
Yes, your post is very, very Glossy....

 

[Agent_DVD]

I have mine on pre-order and will rush to the store to pick a second copy up to actually watch. If for some reason I see these steelbooks in the best buy over the following weeks I will either return it or give it away as a xmas gift.

You take a standard poly bag, split is carefully down the RIGHT side, add a few tiny strips of scotch tape and voa la

I like to keep the dust off my sealed steels so a do it that way

If you don't plan to resell, why don't you open them so you can see the beauty?

 

[hypeboy3]

Still not showing in store pickup on BB site

Didn't you notice I buy steels "Noah Style" in 2's? Lmao

Most of my steels are OPENED, 200+ opened. Around 100 Sealed.
Give or take a few, I have around 350. But I keep the really "valuable" ones sealed because I collect multiples. It makes No sense to open them because I enjoy them sealed too

I think the US BestBuy and Canadian FutureShop are the only ones, so far that have the Walkman inside art.

Just for reference, when do Best Buy release their exclusive steelbooks? Is it On Mondays or Tuesdays?
