Nicest-Looking Steelbook?

[ferrari100]

Mmm. I would be gutted if i paid new prices after reading this! Anyone used this company for items shipped to the uk? It advises royal mail postage. Not ems. Might still get stung the 20% taxes. + royal mails extortionate £8.00 carriage fee(which would put it near on par with amazons price). Feedback appreciated as I may use these in the future.


Also does anyone know of a place still selling asia resident evil 5 collectors edition with silver steelbook? Thanks.

I got my MGS4 LE (jap) along with a MGS3 subsistence LE, a Document of MGS2, a 20th anniversary MGS1 edition and about 4 other NTSC-J MGS games from ebay for £60....I was the only bidder and was amazed how cheaply I got them.

@ferrari I've never used that company but I know you are more likely to get stung by customs using EMS (in my experience anyway) plus if you use EMS you'll get an extra charge from DHL or whoever the courier is if it is detained by customs, it's more than the £8 that RM charge as well.....Around £14 I think.

Gazereths that was a damn fine haul!

No, ems method has always come via dhl and the carriage fee has always been £1.50 for me where customs fees are applicable.
I buy many bluray steelbooks from japan amazon so am accustomed to their charges.
I would use dhl over royal mail any day of the week.

As far as this store is concerned, its always a worry when you cant link to the contact page. I might give them a go on a cheaper item to see if they mark the items packaging with the item price.

Really it was only £1.50? I suppose it makes a difference what size the package is though. The last time I got stung by customs it was a Peace Walker konamistyle premium pack (pretty big) and they charged me an extra £14 carriage the robbing bastards....I just assumed that was a standard fee.

I lied its £1.25 for items less than £62.50, else 2%.

Hmmm I know digging up old threads is discouraged but my opinion hasn't been stated on this topic

My current favorite is the german Tomb Raider as it looks so nice

Favorite looking one of this year is the Ni No Kuni steelie, that thing is a true beauty

Other ones that I love the art on

- Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Limited Edition steel (US or ES release)
- Rage (both the inside and outside are gorgeous)
- Homefront (personally think this is very underrated b/c it's common, amazing art imo)
- Halo 4 FR Steelbook
- Hitman FR steelbook
- German/Austrian Army of two G1 steel

And so many more lol

*Worth noting I have no opinion on a steel until I actually own it

[aselwyn1]

My top 3 are

Rage
Assassins creed 3 hmv ( wish I owned one)
Mafia 2 just love how it's done
