Oh Mags I always wonder how many steelbooks go through your house on their way to their final destination

Of course I'm the same way......

MOQ is the same as before. Stickerbooks have smaller MOQ. So in general stickerbooks are made in much smaller batches and are rarer.

For runs smaller than MOQ (ie. 1k) it is a special arrangement but for those they use the metal that did not pass QC

As for price it is due to hype more than anything. The average steelbook collector just bases the rarity on what they read and have no idea on what is really rare. They wait for info so if there's no info then it doesn't register on their radar. Once the news gets out then you'll see prices shoot up.

You serious about the metal not passing QC?

If it was anyone else I would assume it's a joke but you do have some pretty good scanovo connections

Yeah not that the metal is defective but it just didn't pass the high QC standards.

So then is the standard steelbook MOQ around 4000?

It's been a while since I've seen someone say it that seemed reputable

4000 is G2. G1 is 8000. Those are MOQ for actual steelbooks. Stickerbooks have lower MOQ.

In the past the publishers/retailers weren't sure on steelbook popularity so orders were smaller. Now the runs are much bigger.

Sad to say I doubt any of the current/recent releases will ever be rare.
