Is this what I can expect from SteelBooks...

[RowdyBurns]

Being in North America, we don't get many steelbook releases, but they seem to be a trend that is beginning to make its way here for collectors. And as someone who gets frustrated with bent slipcovers, I was excited about steelbooks.

I ordered 4 on Amazon....Hellboy 2, both of Burton's Batman films, and The Dark Knight. I even got one at Wal-Mart - Batman Begins.

All 5 have imperfections in the paint - little "chips" or whatever you want to call it. I even got the 'Django' exclusive steelbook at Target on the first day and what do you know? I take off the little cardboard backing only to find chips at the corners. I just chalked it up to a manufacturing defect for that particular release.

Am I just the unluckiest person in North America or is this really the kind of quality I can expect? I'm pretty disgusted and upset with it.
