Flashback is a metalpack if I am not wrong.

To my knowledge Steelbook is the only company currently producing metal cases in the G4 size. If Flashback isn't indeed a G4 size, or a Steelbook, I will remove/annotate once I receive my copy.

And why do you put BlazBlue twice ?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There are two distinct versions of the game that include Steelbook, as I've seen with other releases there is a high potential for variations in the Steelbook between the two releases. Again, once I receive my copies and/or confirmation on size and variations I will update the OP.

Your post was ill timed for my reservations also :wave:

Yep, it’s a metalpack.

Sorry what is a reservation?

I see the difference in the hinge now. Thanks.

I intended for my post that says "change log" to be directly below the previous post of mine. It's not a real issue.

Oh, I think it will be better to do like SBCollectorAl does. Just post updates at the end so we can sync our lists accordingly :)

The Mercenary Kings / Flinthook dual Steelbook is sold out. Your only hope to get one now will be on eBay around August when they ship from LRG.

I've added links to the two sources I've found for the clear protective cases. They both appear to be the same exact cases. Feel free to let me know of any other sources you've found for G4 sized protection and I'll add them too.

[SBCollectorAl]

I've got a question. Do you still want me to update the G4-list?

[ihadmail]

I’d say that would be unnecessary. I wasn’t able to find your section at the end of your G2 list with a google search, and didn’t even notice it was there until after I made this thread.

It won’t hurt my feelings any if you do continue adding the releases to your list though. I intend to keep this thread up to date throughout the lifespan of the Switch.

Would you all be interested in me adding detailed photos of the releases as I receive them? This would help identify the different variations in some releases. I can hide the images beind spoiler tags to keep the thread from becoming too cluttered.

I haven't opened a thread for the G4-list because there are only a few steelbooks at the moment available so I added those few to the G2-list and I can't change the thread-title.

[ihadmail]

Saturday Morning RPG Steelbook has been confirmed to release on 5/25/18.

[Seesternmann]

Can someone pls make this thread sticky, so it shows up at the top of the thread list ?

@ihadmail
Thx very much for your effort, always nice to have a list to compare what you already own and what's missing! :)

[ihadmail]

I have still been unable to get any information regarding the size of the Steelbook for either version of BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle. So far I've asked Arc System Works, Play-Asia and Steelbook via email/Twitter/Facebook.

Play-Asia has reported that they are attempting to get this information from Arc System Works and are not getting a response either.

[ihadmail]

A user on Reddit pointed out this Twitch stream that shows the BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle Collector's Edition Switch steel case alongside the PS4 steel case. It doesn't look to be a Steelbook to me, but I'm still kind of new to this and may be wrong. Source: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/249332244 The cases are shown at 1:01:45.

Arc System Works also responded to my email and this is what they had to say about the American BBTag CE: "The Switch version of steel case is the size of the Switch game package. It is slightly bigger than the normal case due to the material, but it is almost the same size!"

I'm going to move both releases to the confirmed size category, and will be able to give a better update once I receive both my Asia and American releases.

Yes, that isn't SteelBook - Metalpak Spine

According to theirs Facebook page, it has been delayed pending a proper reveal on Monday 14th with preordered on Friday 18th.

[ihadmail]

I apologize for being late to update the first post.

LRG announced around Midnight EST on Thursday 5/10/18 that they had decided last minute to delay the mystery release after speaking with the game developer again.

It is HIGHLY speculated that this game will be PixelJunk Monsters 2. The placeholders had image names of PJM.jpg The developers of PJ Monsters had originally tweeted on 5/10/18 that the game would be getting a digital release, a lot of DLC and a special limited physical print run. Shortly after the LRG announcement, the PJ Monsters developer removed the tweeted image that announced the physical release.

We shall find out soon enough I suppose.

[ihadmail]

Thank you for posting the link. I've updated the first post.
These tiny Steelbook print runs are going to get expensive for me.

[ihadmail]

Limited Run Games has announced Slime-San as their next release with a Steelbook case. It's looking like EVERY LRG release will get a Steelbook in the CE. This will quickly become too much for me to care about trying to keep up with buying them all.

[Gunmaster51]

Yeah, I gave up. Not buying every G4 steelbook with the full game that I'll never play. I'm just gonna stick to collecting G2 steels.

[Cosmic_Link]

It's funny you say that, because I haven't even received a CE for Switch from LRG yet and I'm already sick of them. >.< Steelbooks are nice, but I wish they weren't confined to a CE.

They should structure as Standard Ed, Steelbook Ed and CE should people want it.

I can see people losing steam with the Switch Steelbook CE thing. Especially as it has nearly been 1 per week so far. :(

[ihadmail]

It’s looking like 2500 is going to be the standard print run for the LRG titles.

I’m ready for them to go ahead and announce Golf Story so I can buy a game I’m interested in playing instead of just grabbing the CE for the steelbooks.

[ihadmail]

My BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle CE arrived in immaculate condition, miracously. There was a lot of empty space in the shipping box.

I’ve emailed Arc System Works ro try to confirm the manufacturer of the steel case. If it is MetalPak they’re using a different hinge than on the G2 (PS4/BluRay) sized cases.

I’m kind of sad that it’s a considerably thicker case than the Steelbooks, I’m not sure if it’ll fit in one of my protective sleeves.

[ihadmail]

LRG has announced their next Steelbook availability. They also announced a lot of new Switch titles and I would expect all of them to get Steelbooks.

I received my Switch game display stands. Would you all like me to take actual photos of the Steelbooks/MetalPaks that I already have and replace the stock images in the image section?

[ihadmail]

Kingdom: New Lands will be the smallest print run of a Switch steelbook to date.

[ihadmail]

LRG just shared photos of some upcoming Steelbook proofs.

I was able to find a new Steelbook that's not from LRG! 7-11 in Japan will be including an exclusive Steelbook with pre-orders for Pokemon Let's Go! These are limited to one per customer and will only ship to a Japanese address. There is no information that I can find about maximum print run.

Sadly we don't have any Japanese members here who could help with this. You can also only get the steelbook by purchasing the bundle with the pokeball controller or the bundle with the switch console. :( If anybody manages to order from them to a forwarding company, please do let me know. I cannot get 7-11 to accept any of my cards. :(

I will be ordering one through Tenso. If 7-11 won't accept any of my cards I will just pay the premium for Tenso to purchase it for me, it'll still be cheaper than buying from eBay.

I am waiting on a response from Tenso to get my forwarding address details that are missing for the 7-11 sign up.

Which company did you try? I used Tenso to ship my Bayonetta 2 NSCE and it was around $60 shipping to the US for 2 copies and 2 of the "extras only" copies. They came packaged very well and were all in immaculate condition. Turns out I should have only ordered one of each.

A member of a FB group I'm in recommended I try FromJapan if Tenso can't help out.

I am working with RetroProtection to try to get custom sized slip covers to fit the BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle metal case and the Shining Resonance Refrain slip cover. If this happens it will most likely be a 1 time run with me purchasing all of them. I will sell to anyone here for actual cost plus actual shipping, no matter the quantity.

There aren’t any real details yet. I’m going to stay hopeful until I either get an answer from Bandai-Namco or the details are added to the listing.

So far this one teaser image is all that’s been released for all variations of this special edition.

I have received confirmation about the metal case. It will hold the DVD that’s included in the special edition, so no G4 sized metal case for Tales of Vesperia.

The owner of Super Rare, George, is in a Facebook group that I’m a member of. He stated there that because any Steelbooks they offer will be add-ons that they can be purchased seperately by anyone who only wants the steelbook.

I have asked a friend who lives in Japan to reach out to GEO Mart to ask about the size of this steelbook. One of their previous Switch steelbook bonus cases was G2 sized.

I can add this to the unconfirmed size portion of the list if you all would like me to.

I am fairly certain that the US and EU Smash Bros steelbooks are different. The EU looks very smooth and shiny in photos and the US is matte black with a textured shiny logo.

I’ll be able to confirm this once my EU steelbook arrives in the US around the 15th.

Not that I have seen, it's just in the USA, they used the word "metalpack/case" and not SteelBook in marketing the CE.

So I was skeptical, and got me the EU one which was stated as SteelBook from the start.

Weirdly enough, it doesnt come up in any google search, not even the slightest reference to it.
Also, if you look at the back, the image is not properly centered... you sure this is official and not a fan made?

[gamecollector_nz]

I got it from eBay for £26, I don’t know if it’s official one or fan made either, if it’s a fan made then I would say it’s made really well
