Japan SteelBooks™ Thread

[SlimJim24]

Being a Japanese steel enthusiast, I wanted to open the floor to everyone who wants to talk about anything Japanese steels.

Share pics (cause mine are terrible quality), ask questions, and maybe learn a thing or two. Heck I wouldn't even think there'd be a problem if you have any really cool slipcovers to

Maybe somebody will even start threads for other countries

Hope to hear from y'all soon!

Don't think I could afford a Steelbook and Digi addiction lol

 

[earthscope]

@Slim glad it arrived safely.
Can't wait for mine to arrive. I think the Total Recall Digipack is better than the Steelbook!!

Awesome slip on that too

Did you order the spiderman digi as well ?
The price dropped by %57 last week, so had to put that in the order too!!

 

[chanfm]

The Total Recall digi looks awesome. But my bank refused to give me another overdraft. So no digis for me.

Yeah. I posted pic in the proper threads. Those two were too sick for me to pass up. Especially with the price drop. Works like a charm in my region A blu ray player

It was an incredible movie day for me. Recommend the digis for everyone. Both 5 discs and beautiful artwork! Not sure if I'll get the total recall steel now. (Everyone knows I still will)

I imagine it will look perfect opposite mission impossible cause of the "similar" covers.

Can't wait for June to add some more to my wants list. As usual though, I'll wait til the release to decide what I want. Expensive, but effective

Added Star Wars original trilogy (may 24th)

Still need to add links for them all. Just been super busy sorry guys. I'll try to make time

 

[Elena]

I saw some members here (Hubmuswell and Firmwizard) have Iron Sky booklet, is it came together with the steel? because I didn't get it

anyone have info for this?

 

[Nyvo]

Iron sky is nice and all but doesn't impress me as much as I was expecting. As for total recall you've gotta check out the JP digipack that I got today. Doesn't get any better!

Additional pics in the digipack thread.

That's very nice! Not sure I can afford to start on the digipack's as well though! I'm still only at the beginnings of my steelbook collection!

 

[SlimJim24]

Prometheus added. Actually quite excited about this if a slip is part of it !!!

Awesome. How is Snow White and the huntsman in hand? I'm iffy about it

Its a beautiful Steel with a three quarter slip up the back.
For me the front of the slip was what sold it for me.

Really happy with it !!

 

[SlimJim24]

Update for me!!! New additions: Iron Sky, Underworld Awakening, Mission Impossible, and Paul. Also added the digipacks the Amazing Spider-Man and Total Recall from Japan.

Can't wait to have more space!!! I do my best with what I have though.

 

[earthscope]

Looks great Slim.

Hey, wanted to ask are you going to open the Digipacks? I want to see them in all their glory but the collector in me is saying keep them sealed.

Its sitting there staring at me and tempting me to just open it !!

 

[SlimJim24]

I opened both of mine. Even though I have the US spider man steel opened too. Figured I bought them for their sexiness I had to enjoy them. Besides, didn't have any other release of total recall so that was a no brainer. I'm gonna try to stick to JP steels- sealed, anything else, open. Otherwise I'll be spending all my money and not getting any new movies to watch lol. Gotta enjoy these beauties!!!

I do, however, wish spider man was the same size as total recall

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

Sky fall and lockout just around the corner slips or no slips, that is the question!

 

[earthscope]

Your right they are just too amazing to keep sealed. Yep, keep those JP Steels sealed!!

I do have the TW,FR Steel of TR. The french one being the one I opened to watch.

Didn't bother about Digipacks until I saw the pictures in the thread, and now I think as long as Amazon.jp keep making these incredible collection sets I am going to need a bigger house to put them

Waiting for Skyfall from yesasia, hope it does come with a slip, and also Lockout that is a beauty of a steelbook and with a killer slip

:movie:

 

[SlimJim24]

So I need advice about where to go next. Steels, digis, slips. Anything JP. Just let me know what you think is awesome and try to include pics! I really need help on this!

My policy is always:

Metal>digibooks>amaray>slips

So my advice would be stick with Steelbooks

I agree but I like to mix it up every once in a while based on packaging.

I was looking for particular titles. If something has beautiful packaging I don't care if its just a slip or if its a digibook. I'll get that instead of a steelbook

The katakana (Japanese symbols) on the slips add an elegance like no other. So steel or paper or plastic. Show me the katakana I'll show you the $$$

Recommendations just off the top of my head would be
(Preorder) The Last Samurai-it's only fitting to have the Japanese version
Knight and day-it's a worldwide exclusive

 

[earthscope]

Hey bud I opened it and all I can say is WOW!!!!!
Sexy is an understatement , Smoking Hot ...lol

The only thing is where do I put that awesome slip that came with it? I must be mad as I love that slip especially with the katakana down the spine as much as the Digipack itself!!!
