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

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.

I don't believe it was typed out of order. Technically Grande is the first word. Le is just standing for The, which typically isn't used when alphabetizing

Not a steelbook but check this beaut out. Thanks to G:Box for bringing it to my attention

Little pricey but I'd be willing to maybe do a small group buy for it so we could save some on shipping. Or maybe if someone else would want to as I'm so busy

Ahh, that makes sense.

not bad .. but while we are off-topic from steels that total recall and spiderman digipaks are insane in quality. Love the partially clear slip and art on them. A member here bought themboth and took extensive pics they arein the digipack forum. worth taking a look.

 

[earthscope]

Wreck thanks for the heads up on the digipaks. There awesome.
Got me ordering them now .

 

[n3wk1d]

You see AA, so stop giving me the title and you should be honored to become one.
"God Of Japanese steel"

 

[Elena]

Missing several (coz they are in my office), and missing others like The Thing, Evil Dead, 3 x Anime, etc (coz I dont have them)...

Spoilers? Here, we don't use spoilers!

Ok, here we go...

Awesome collections AA, but I can't see Narnia with the booklet there

 

[Aprilarrow]

The top left corner of mike photo is the narnia with booklet.
Sold of mine but lucky me to get it back. Lol.

 

[chanfm]

Guys, I just checked. It appears that there are only 56 copies of Gran Torino Japan left....in case any of you is interested.

 

[jcm]

I have knight and day, isn't it a worldwide steelbook exclusive? I know there was a Chinese iron pack

 

[Aprilarrow]

Yes it is! There is also a Thailand metalpak...

There is also the more rare metalpak from Thailand.

I could not find my Gran Torino Korea. I turned my house upside down looking for it and realised I must have sold or traded it by mistake.

Anyway, I stumbled upon an unopened box from Amazon Japan. Forgot all about this. Man.....I love some of the spines on Jpn steelbooks.

They do look fantastic! I missed out on that set unfortunately - now regret it! Have they ever done any other similar deals/collections before?

 

[chanfm]

@Liam, they are still selling all 3 BTTFs at Amazon Jpn and the price has come down quite a bit

 

[n3wk1d]

The difference is the Paul steel. Probably you buy Paul and free the bttf free. Lol.
