Damn, this is nice.

Out of interest, MrSharky, how much does shipping to the UK cost? I live near Manchester myself.

I ordered 5 (all the white steels) and it came to £104.35 (using Amazon's built in currency convertor) and £34.31 shipping.

Add to this the cost of Customs and it all came to £166.88 so a little over £33 per steel.

They are gorgeous though...

Ordered 10 (is that the set?), DHL dude turned up today and wanted £70 off me.

Nearly shat a kidney.

Told him to come back tomorrow after I've liberated some money from my top secret stash of money, more commonly known as the collective piggy-banks floating around the house!!

ouch thats some customs charges damn!! glad i ive gone the customs free route via the US still works out cheaper doing it that way than paying customs.

Wow, I can't believe customs charges are so much!

 

[DK06CTR]

yes afraid so us in the UK get absolutley arse slapped for importing anything.

I'm in Manchester bud

Well if you get one steelbook the cost would be as follows:
Item: £20.63
Shipping & Handling: £24.22

I got Eight steelbooks for:
Items: £166.96
Shipping & Handling: £41.66

That's all excluding customs of course

See the difference my friend, the more you order the better it works out for you...

And here I was thinking I'd joined a site dominated by American's! A completely none blu-ray related question, but are you from the blue or red half of Manchester?

The shipping & handling isn't too bad, but the customs fee's are insane. If you don't mind me asking, what did you have to pay in custom's fees?

£33? Damn, those are some expensive steels. Why do we not get ones as sexy as this in the UK?

UK got many sexy Steels too at affordable price. These ones are just okay and too expensive in my opinion.

If these were gloss they'd be worth it, nevertheless, may still pick them up!

I'm underwhelmed by this one. I only picked up Seven and The Matrix, but to me the art seems bland on the front cover. The characters seemed to be washed out. Probably the intended design, but not crazy about it.

I like it because it portrays them as badasss's wearing those glasses. I love the look!!!

I didn't think this one looked as good as the Batmans personally. Maybe it's that photoshopped spotlight that whites out Keanu Reeves' neck - I don't know why they did that, it would have looked better without. Not wild about the incorrect title either (should be 'The' Matrix). The Agent Smith portrait on the back is a nice touch though.

I am with chip on this one, it's clean and simple with a bad-ass attitude to it

Look at these comments and see why I believe collecting steelbooks is no different than collecting art. We have a wide spectrum of opinions based on a single artifact - the steelbook - which continues to attract new collectors every single day. And thanks to a forum like HDN, we ALL benefit from these discussions because at the end of the day, almost everyone wants a copy of the steelbook

Great job fellas contributing to this thread! What a pleasure it is to read these comments without feeling like I am forced to get one.

.. which can be a good thing, if you're into that sort of behaviour.
