That "Exhuma" from Injoingan is incredible. Getting Wailing/Handmaiden vibes...the other 2 arrived unscathed from amazon.com (in additional gift packaging AND inside a box!!)

I'm NOT addicted to Taiwanese Slipcovers, YOU are addicted to Taiwanese Slipcovers

Wasn't planning to get Akira as I have the US 4k steel but a cheap copy popped up on eBay and some people rave about it, glad I did though the slip is lovely.

 

[Lutzo]

Thanks @zoltan_g for Kiki and A Quiet Place. Amazing seller! That Lawrence of Arabia Taiwan Slipcover is yet another beauty!!

 

[sbarker]

To think, all this time I've just been putting these stupid stickers aside with the J cards when I could have been gluing them to the front of the slip.

Huh. I'm in disbelief.
So you've bought these from a marketplace seller and...am I reading this correctly because I can't quite fathom it.
They've actually glued the branding holo onto the front of the slips!.

Seriously?

Yup, off eBay. The price was great so I'm actually not going to complain to them, I saw the little badges on the front and assumed they just left them resting on there for the photo, not actually stuck the bloody things on. I hadn't even realised those badges were stickers, wait are they stickers or did they go to trouble of actually using their own adhesive? Managed to get them off without any damage thankfully, funnily enough a hairdryer is turning into one of my most useful tools for premium steelbooks. Fixes fine scratches, unfinished gloss and mental use of stickers.

I don't know if I'm more shocked that they slapped them on the front of the slips or that they didn't disclose that on their listings.

Does anyone even read listing descriptions anymore? Most of them just have AI slop in them which is always useless.

Always do. A cursory glance. Takes a second.
For what's it's worth. I still add some relevant info in the description when necessary.
I've seen sellers put a short explanation right at the end of the paragraph, easy to miss, something like, "small scratch bottom left corner" without showing a photograph of it in the image line up.
Saved me time, effort and money in the long run.
Not always the case but it happens a fair bit. I can't be arsed with the back and forth with sellers these days so I'd rather take a second to glance at Ai slop, sigh and move on.

Couple of new anime steelbook pickups to go with my (battered) old UK Blu-rays.

- The Castle of Cagliostro US Crunchyroll BR Steelbook (pics with and without the title pet slip)

- Grave of the Fireflies US Shout Factory BR Steelbook

 

[Lutzo]

Let's put it this way, the new Casino is among the 3 best Steelbook collector's editions of the film...

 

[Lutzo]

TFW you love a movie so much, that you even buy the super inferior US version
