Sometimes luck shine and you pick up a Fist of the North Star for 7 euros

or a Netherlands exclusive stickerbook for 3o euros and sometimes it's all hell let loose and your $100 steelbook investment turns out to be a pile of c**p

I have never been tempted to quit. I love the challenge and I love the steels... At time it seems overwhelming but then I go through one of my boxes and smile as I remember the story of each one... and they all have their stories

Remind me to stalk to you on ebay and watch all your watched items

In my dreams I stop collecting steelbooks. However the reality is a little different. Last week I believe was Castlevania and a couple of films. Next week is the Studio Ghibli wave I believe. Got hold of the Chinese Lawrence of Arabia last week as well. Of course it is my intention to stop collecting steels at some point, just not today.

well, maybe scale down, but i suppose one doesnt have to stop completely.... ?

a pity to give it up completely after all that effort, plus its fun too!

its all part of collecting i guess!

I've certainly slowed down. I used to get a steelbook package almost every week, multiple times a week even, however, my last steelbook purchase was The Wolverine (HMV exclusive) which I picked up yesterday as I'd already put a deposit on it months ago. Haven't received any other new steelbooks since... I don't actually know, I can't remember!

I have a few movie steelbooks preordered for December, but I'll probably have to cancel some of them, and the others (Disney ones) I'll try to get as I'm trying to build up a collection of Disney/Animated movies for my son xx

It's only fun if you get all those steelbooks you wanted to have for a fair price but the problem is that many steelbooks aren't available and if you find them then just for a very expensive price.

I stopped being so nitpicky and ocd about tiny minor damages.

It took a while to get over it, but yeah... Not so crazy about them now.

Yeah, when i first started I thought about trying to get them all Mint and whatnot..

I then realized that as long as I had a decent one, it would do. The minor damage doesn't bother me anymore. The price difference is incredible in some cases
