BD Steelbooks are not so popular in the US, I don't now why. In Canada on the other hand, there is a big market for them.

Here in Europe, every single country releases some, UK and Germany alone have hundrends of them.

I have many rather rare ones, that are oop and oos but I don't think I have a "holy grail" . But I collect the ones that I really like for movies I like!

Yeah, this ac artbook pops up at ebay now and then, I'll buy it some time, and I think i saw that litho as well. It's very beatiful, regardless its rarity.

Very cool

I actually am a big movie and huge tv show nut as well so it would be bad for my health if I tried to collect movie stuff too

I've seen pics of blu ray steel collections that must top at least 500 seperate steels.

For some odd reason retailers don't release many US blu ray steels but there are a ton of collectors in the states. I've been on other forums for VG steels before and they tend to be subforums of movie steels because there are so many movie steel collectors worldwide.

A couple of things that came in today

Received a lot of steels that I got from France today




I already have copies of the steels in the 2nd pic so I'll be selling those if anyone is interested

Got in some guides as well, for real cheap!

I first started collecting movies and tv shows, and then i jumped to vg collecting! It is an expensive hobby, not the most expensive though. As I said though, I don't buy everything, just the things (movies/tvshows/game franchises)I like.

Yes I know, I visit the big related forums (bluray.com hdninja etc) but not post too much there and I was a regular in another one for movie collector's.

@ tonybsg

Yep that's what so difficult for me. I can rarely pick and choose what I want as sometimes it's the artwork on the steel itself and not even the game that makes me want it.

Self-control when collecting is always helpful but it tends to be something I lack

For instance, one of my favorite steels is Homefront.

The steel was only released in a PC edition to my knowledge and if I didn't find it cheap, I may never have got it. Game wasn't that great either but steel is beautiful.

So now I usually just try to get all steels I can if I can find them for a reasonable price

And a single steel came in today as well
