i only saw when they had 10 minutes to go, was actually searching for something and they popped up in search results, i have seen this seller before, they seem to have quite few metal slips from time to time on the bay.

Heads up folks - "metal slipcase" is now a packaging type in the database so it's no longer something needed in the title. Will make it a little easier as they've been listed under "steel case", "steelcase", "metal slip" and "metal slipcase" before which makes searching a nightmare because of the varying names.

All entries for existing releases have been updated. If everyone can please use this terminology and select the packaging type if entering any new releases it should ensure these releases are easier to find in the future. Cheers.

Hopefully we get more this year. I would hate to see any more of those Viva slip boxes

Your doing? If so I've asked several mods over the years for this. Have a feeling we will get some this year (as last year was a no show but the year before was pretty hefty...the year before that).

Yeah. Iceman's been flat out with lots of updates and upgrades but I got that and some Aussie retailers (Big W, EzyDVD) added in the recent updates.

I'm sure something will roll up this year. Just a matter of time. Last year was pretty crappy for metal packaging in general here in Australia.

The Fast & The Furious 1 - 4 Collection, Fast & Furious and Fast Five all got Metal Slips I'd imagine we might get another one with Fast Six coming out this year. One can hope.

Maybe just maybe around November/Decemeber.

What do T2 and Gladiator go for these days? They're the only 2 (that I actually want) that I missed out on grabbing.

I did grab the Dark Knight trilogy so I may have to sell my TDK metal slip to help fund T2 and Gladiator.

Terminator 2:
-Mint/sealed $150-$200
-Very Good Condition $100-$120
-Good condition (minor scratches, small indents) $80+

Gladiator would be the same give or take $30 in their respective conditions.

Cool, thanks, I might have to have a hunt around.
