Underrated Steelbooks - Hidden Gems Or Often Overlooked

[Wreck]

Feel free to post pics too .......

this thread is not about values. I mean its ok to say that you cant believe its not worth more etc. But this thread is meant to highlight Steelbooks that you dont normally hear about. Its about underrated steelbooks in regards to art primarily. The Hidden Gems of the steelbook world. Often at times ones you think are bad ass/look great etc. but you rarely hear any hype of them. Sometimes this is because the movie isnt so good ... but never the less, show them off now and let them get a little attention.

I'll post some later today.

Don't think that its had a mention yet, but I think the HMV UK District 9 SteelBook is really nice and clean.

Alliance is my favorite studio and I think Appaloosa is one of their hidden gems

Excellent choice! It's an awesome steelbook

Marvel Vs. Capcom for PS3!

BEAUTIFUL all clean artwork all around! (Front, Back & Inside)
My all time favorite steelbook!

Thought I'd throw in a pic of this to emphasize how awesome it is, although I took it with my iPad so quality isn't that great:

The nightmare before Christmas, I remember walking into a best buy close to my previous job when they were supposedly oop and the stores were pulling them, well I recall seeing 10-15 copies still on the shelf. It's a very nice Steelbook that didn't get enough attention because of potc and monsters inc.

i've been thinking that blow (CA) may turn out to be highly collectible because of the drug taboo. I can't imagine any major retailer in the U.S. carrying a title with a huge line of coke across the cover. I am not sure about the rest of the world, but i can see the huge rail being easily omitted from the cover in future releases. if that were to happen....cha-ching$$$

i am curious to hear from members if they think a cover like this with would fly in their country.

Yes I agree. Tron DE is underrated. Also agree on Fast Five DE.

Another one underrated IMO is Oceans 13 from Canada. Its a stand-out steel book in my collection. The artwork is very fitting to the movie and series. Also clean front/back/inside art make it a complete steelbook. I love the all plain red on the back of the steel.

Play.com Pulp Fiction is one of my favourites. Love the film and the SB doesn't get covered in fingerprints if i'm caressing it out of its protection.

I quite like the Halo animated movie very underrated and a very nicely made steelbook

After receiving my copies of the recent play.com release of Wolverine, I have to say that it looks damn awesome and extremely underrated.
