Hey guys & girls, thank you for accepting me into your ranks!

I'm not sure if I would call myself a "collector". I usually don't collect a full series, so I think enthusiast would be more fitting? I'm more for quality over quantity.

In general I'm a huge Batman and FF fan, which is why these franchises dominate the little I have. (And a bit Overwatch)
As of late I'm very much hooked unto Steelbooks, especially Final Fantasy related Steels.

(The reason why I have multiple copies of some steelbooks is: I came across a forum thread of a person who did a "Steelbook-Wall" with his FF Steelbooks. Found it very nice, so I'll attempt to do something similar in the future +I want a backup copy of every Book… and yes, maybe I got carried away here and there O:) )
A bit more of my stuff: https://i.imgur.com/vAuDsGi.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/a8pqHwF.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/xjhsCTf.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/Yc4GqXd.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/jLMMaPt.jpg
(Sorry it's a bit crowded right now. That will change as soon as I move)

My true main passion lies within Statue "collecting" of pop culture characters.
I started out with collector's edition figures and small statues until I met Prime 1. "Abandon all hope ye who enter here" was their Facebook group screaming. Oh well… of course I didn't listen. :P
So, I dropped buying Collector's Editions and smaller Statues (except for a few exceptions like RE2 <3) and am now all in with Prime 1 Studios Statues and some XM ones.

Anyway, since I'm going on a hunt for the last couple of FF steelbooks, I thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself here.

In this regard: Again, thank you very much for accepting me! :)

Marcus

Thank you :)

I guess the usually suspects. 4 in total.
- FF7:AC Stickerbook (Asia)
- A Realm Reborn
- FF12 CE (PS2)
- FFXV Steelbook from China

The one from 12 is not really a problem, but the other 3 are real pain to find.
I already had a wanted thread up and running, when I got notice that a very good friend of mine is going to marry and I'm suposed to be his wing man. *sigh*
Gonna secure the funds for that as my main priority now and will continue to hunt afterwards. Probably in a couple of months.

But I know me, if I see a good deal for one of these steelbooks, I'm probably going to grab them anyway. :P

It's basically the same as our Deluxe Steelbook, but with a slightly different spine.

Thank you for photos :)
Actually this FF7:AC steel isn't stickerbook - it's print not sticker on steel.
P.S seems that you missing Dissidia Final Fantasy NT EU steelbook also (has different artwork as NA 3 versions).

Oh? So not a Stickerbook. Ok, thanks for the info! :)

The EU Dissidia Steelbook was actually already in transit to me, as I created this post. It's here now. :)
