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!

Mike

[blu-steel]

If you get a second job you can become a Japan Steelbook Club Member!!!

 

[Slim]

Wow, what a site to behold Aprilarrow. Thanks for those pics and I can't believe how many of the really rare ones you have.

 

[chanfm]

@AA. Gorgeous pics! When you have time, please post close up pics of 2012 Jpn. I have never seen this steel before. The slip looks great.

 

[SlimJim24]

Please make sure we stay constructive. The main reason I made this thread was to avoid "annoying" people who don't think JP steels are worth the money we pay.

So please be respectful. Questions are encouraged, but that doesn't include snide comments.

We essentially moved here to convenience you. You don't have to click on "Japan Steelbook Thread" if you have nothing constructive to say.

Thanks

Mike

BTW, I'm enlisted and in the navy. Far from being rich, trust me.

 

[surfury]

So this is the people with lots of money thread?

Correct. I am pretty sure that majority are affluent folks (not me).

More like buy as cheap as you can and slip them in to avoid Customs: ahem

Oh snap. Forgot my Batman collection was seperated. And no, Prometheus to Aliens does not have a SB inside, just a KA set!

Anybody know why JP always releases steels after everyone else?

 

[Slim]

Slimjim, you are only missing one last JP steel. The Amazing Spider-Man (from the boxset) which is already released. Also Le Grand Bleu was typed out of order for some reason when I made the list.
