I've had a lot of requests from our Twitter followers to feature occasional SteelBook announcements, so I'll be trialling this with a few UK SteelBook announcements (seeing as how I collect UK SteelBooks), and then maybe expand to North American / Canadian / European announcementsin the future

Obviously I'll keep these to a minimum and focus primarily on video game CE announcements, but I feel we could reach a broader range of collectors by expanding on what announcements we make via Twitter. As many SteelBook collectors are also video game CE collectors, it makes sense to Tweet about SteelBooks as well, especially as they more or less go hand in hand with each other :)

[gurpswoo1]

Thanks Gemini

This is going to help alot of collector's out who collect movie steelbooks.

[nipperkipper]

Many thanks Gemini, there were a few i forgot to pre order so got those on order now, this will be a very useful thread:thumb:

[vhal_x]

Thanks so much for this Gemini :D Got most of them preordered... gonna pick up the ones from this week that I've had to cancel later on :) xx

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I'll try to remember to update it whenever the rest get release dates confirmed and links are up to pre-order

I'll also try to come back and edit the post to include links to the store exclusive releases

I'll do one of these threads for every six months or so, and probably start a new one for all of the pre-holiday releases going into next year (Ie, a summer thread and a winter thread)

[vhal_x]

Thank you Gemini, you're a legend :D xx

[ferrari100]

I dont think they are available yet - they have notify me options on the product page

[Gemini-Phoenix]

See this bunch Gemini:

No, not as yet. They're still awaiting release dates, and aren't available to pre-order, although the placeholder pages are available to view. I'll update when the links to pre-order go live (I have eMail notifications set-up)

[nipperkipper]

UPDATE:

ninja scroll steelbook now available to preorder:

http://www.play.com/DVD/Blu-ray/4-/32180922/0/Ninja-Scroll-Limited-Edition-Steelbook-Double-Play/ListingDetails.html

[Gemini-Phoenix]

G-P UPDATE: I've added E.T. - The Extra Terrestrial, which has now been given a November 12th release date

I've also added Ninja Scroll, which is due for release on the 15th of October

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I've updated the initial post to reflect new release dates, as well as adding several new titles to the roster

Several titles are still awaiting release date confirmation

[Likey]

Are any of you buying all of these or just a few that you like?

[Cosmic_Link]

I'm just buying the few movies I like which I don't yet have on either blu-ray or DVD, with the exception of Scott Pilgrim, because I just have to buy that again! lol

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Are any of you buying all of these or just a few that you like?

Rather obviously, I'm buying all of them to maintain my almost-complete set of UK SteelBooks. Most of these I would probably have bought anyway though, as they would be the first time I would have these films on Blu-Ray, although I own almost all on Dvd already. Only a handful will be Blu-Ray double-dips for me

[Likey]

Damn, that must be a massive collection you have!

Are any listed above sold out already or we don't need to worry?

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Are any listed above sold out already or we don't need to worry?

Iron Man and Iron Man 2 sold out on pre-orders about a week ago. The Terminator sold out a few days ago

So far, these are the only ones, but due to the popularity I'm sure others will follow, especially the ones which are exclusive to a sole retailer - I'm expecting the Avengers Assemble one to be quite popular and sell out before release

[Likey]

Ah shit, I would have liked Iron Man 1 + 2 as well.

Thanks for the heads up about Avengers, that movie was awesome.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

G-P Update: I've added a ton of new titles!

Most are still awaiting release dates, but some new ones are now available to pre-order!

The Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp is rumoured to be a Metalpak and not a SteelBook. PLAY.com have it listed as the former, whereas HMV have it listed as the latter

[Gemini-Phoenix]

G-P Update: Recently corrected the release date for Hot Fuzz, which was previously the 6th of August, but is now the 3rd of September


I also added:

24 September - Cabin In The Woods (HMV exclusive)

1 October - Prometheus (3D) (PLAY.com exclusive)
29th October - Rise Of The Footsoldier

12 November - La Passion De Jeanne D'Arc
26 November - Men In Black 1-3 (PLAY exclusive)

[Gemini-Phoenix]

G-P Update:

I've updated the main post to reflect recent additions, including the newly announced Buena Vista and Warner Bros waves!

I've also fixed some release dates which have either slipped or been brought forward.

I would suggest that everbody browse the list again to check what's new! :)

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I've updated the list again with some new additions, a few rescheduled release dates, and also a few new announced SteelBooks :)

[Gemini-Phoenix]

A minor update, altering a few release dates that have been brought forward

[nipperkipper]

[NaughtyDogJames]

[Gemini-Phoenix]

For any one who wants to know the saving private Ryan Steelbook although itself nice they cheapest out on the disc which isn't printed.

I was expecting this SteelBook to be embossed / debossed, especially as the cover design lends itself well to this technique, but alas it wasn't :(


Also, I've updated the list again! :)

[NaughtyDogJames]

Inception
Blade Runner
300
Troy
10,000 BC
The Last Samurai
Heat
Sherlock Holmes
I am Legends
Clash of the Titans

All part of the premium collection coming out 12th November instead of October according to amazon.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Updated the list with new forthcoming releases and release dates :)

[Cosmic_Link]

So gutted that I missed out on the 2 Iron Man steels... ;_;

Had a reminder set-up for them to email me when pre-orders were open yet I got nothing! >.< Stupid play.com messing everything up again! >.<

If there is anybody who happens to have spares of these 2 steels and feel sorry for me and would sell at RRP + p&p, drop me a PM, please? XD
