I have compiled a list of shiny bling effect artwork steelbook. If you put these steelbook against a light, and move it back and forth, you'll see a shiny effect with certain areas in the steelbook.

This is not a complete list since I can only vouch for the ones that I own.

If you know of any other shiny bling effect steelbook in your collection, then please share with us.

Picture is a plus. I'll try to take a picture of them as soon as I learn how to show the effect through the camera.

If it had blu-banner he would've snapped it up in a heart beat lol

I saw Hugo and really didn't like that much, was okish so I highly doubt I'll like this one.
 
I love bling bling and embossed/debossed for sure, but I won't buy all of them... I don't like half of the movies on the list LOL.... I don't have enough room to display all my steelbook, and A Trip To The Moon will never ever see the daylight in my cabinet :) So, it's no point of adding it :)

coming from the two bling loving guys i'm quite surprised EEK!
 
sucker punch DE, flame on the cover
Really!, I have this somewhere gonna go check it out now to see what others are seeing, man I have more than half of the listed ones so far and can't even tell from shiny effect to nada lol

I need a second opinion with this one. I have it and I see what you are talking about, but I"m not 100% sure because it feels like it's part of the steel silver color. It doesn't stand out like many of the shiny bling.

Ash, what do you think about this one? Do you have it? Can you see the bling? :)

looks like the sky in battle: los angeles is blingy too

hahaha..I think 70% of the steelbooks have inside artwork. I'll help you make that list :hilarious:

so when's the inside art thread going up?

no "bling effect" 100% sure.just very glossy throughout the cover.
 
I don't know if it counts but the Lord of the Rings Jumbo Steelcase from Bestbuy/Futureshop? has a "bling effect" on the words around the title.
