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

[Lemur]

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.

I still think country exclusive steelbooks are printed in low numbers (battlefield norway steelbook?!)

Lower but they still need to meet the MOQ. And you have to understand that information is only based on whether it is made available.

For example, Spain announce a stickerbook limited to 500 copies. That just means they get 500 copies. It does not mean there are 500 copies. You can see a classic example in dead island stickerbook. Spain announced 500 copies? Nobody from italy updated that they get it as well. Everyone assumes only 500 copies and the price skyrocketed at release.

Anyway I think a run of 10k is still considered small as most of them will be given to suckers who wreck the steelbook or don't want to sell. Ultimately not many get released to international collectors. Mint ones even less.

Ha so G2 steelbooks naturally have the ability to be rarer

Love me some G2's

So then lemur to your knowledge has any real printed videogame steelbook been made like the comic con sucker punch comic (i.e. less than the MOQ mark?)
