Couple of Fullslips for friends, they bought all FS for the first three and didn't think 'switching' was an option - now I'm the only one happy.
...and they got the snake hand.

Mine this month

 

[TheWildEye]

Today's new old Gals. A couple of 80's classic linked by Spielberg.
Gremlins & Empire of The Sun.
Super designs showing again how sometimes the older versions remain superior imo.

I was expecting Gremlins to be glossed and to be honest it should have been, but it's a zero finish. It's not the best print reproduction on the back but the front is fine with that absolutely iconic image. It photographs really well; I just could have sworn it was glossed like Empire.
Was there a glossed version of this design and I've picked the wrong version?

Empire of the Sun has that exact gloss that Gremlins should have. It'd absolutely gorgeous in hand. Colour reproduction and design. Top tier. Unfortunately mine has a little dink on an edge. Yuk

Some great embossing on both titles with the frames.
I love frames on steelbooks. I'm sure I'll get over it eventually

Fantastic designs.

This isn't everything but I think I have a good collection going, there are some criterion blurays mixed in as well. Once I have them set up the way I want to I'll take some more pics. Just started in December btw (had to return the fugitive it came dented from Best Buy)

Oh, a newbie, welcome to the forum, and that's a good start, great to see a new collection being born!

 

[TheWildEye]

Popped up on Saturday.
'Cloverfield' steelbook.
Awesome metal work on this old steel. Heavy eboss/deboss. Great design.
I really like the 4k versions design but the finish is not good, so opted for this old one; it has a really incredible finish and the design is perfect. This can be picked up second hand DIRT...and I mean it, dirt cheap nowadays.

My contagion dispatched on the 23rd and it is still awaiting pickup from Evri...

 

[JinxyKatte]

I think I need to make an effort once again to complete my base set of MCU movies. I like the Mondos but I really just want another set too. Also I would love to go for a full premium set but that would cost a fortune at this point.

 

[TheWildEye]

Classic pickup time.
'Close Encounters of the Third Kind'
Blu-ray Steelbook
Very good matte finish and a great design. Embossing and spot gloss. I really wish they'd added some colour to the design though. Almost too blue.
Some nice hues of red and orange on the ship would have made it top tier.
If you love the film though its a must buy. Add a 4k disc as there's no 4k steelbook to my knowledge.

 

[TheWildEye]

Added Psycho to the collection.
After buying Vertigo 4k, I realised that we didn't get the set with film titles like the US did. What a pain. To collect that set now would be too expensive, so I decided to pick up the older Blu-ray versions that all have titles and decent art as well - not the original posters like the 4k versions - but really nice nonetheless. They also look cool together.
Psycho steel is particularly lovely. At least I've got the Vertigo in 4k anyway

Haven't taken any pictures of my recent purchases in awhile and they started piling up. So here are my newest editions to my collection.

 

[TheWildEye]

Local CEX does good for once.

I almost never find clean (ish) steelbooks in my local CEX trade-in store. It's mostly filled with dented, scratched and mangled stock.
Yet, yesterday afternoon, one alone stuck out like a shining beacon of lusty love, lost in the sweaty flaccid mess.

Boogie Nights.

Bought it immediately.
Nuff said.

The latest acquisition. Make a quick purchase decision as soon as it appears on the site again.

 

[TheWildEye]

4K Alien steels are hard to find and expensive now, so I picked up the older blu ray version for under £10. Still a decent price for now.
I've always liked this one.
It's a bit streaky but the colours are nice, if a little poorly printed.
For this price, it's worth a punt.
Add a 4K 40th anniversary disc and, bingo!

Until we get an inevitable 45th Anniversary steelbook, which I believe is this year in 2024.
Maybe? Who knows.
