steelbooks insert - Blu-ray Forum

Smigro · 03-21-2013, 06:18 PM

Does anyone know of steels out there that are not trilogies that have an insert that holds three discs or a way to get just an insert that holds three discs?

I just bought the 25th anniversary edition of Back to the Future and want to try and get an insert to hold all three movies.

edit: It looks like the CA version of The Hobbit does, so hopefully the UK version does as well and I can just swap out the inserts and the spine and call it a day since I can deal with a steelbook not having the DVD or special features disc.

i wish you could buy 2 and 3 disc steelbook inserts (g2 size). especially for things like the warner uk steelbooks (ex. ben hur). only idea i've had is to buy a handful of 'the dark knight's and use them for the inner case.

There's another idea.

It sucks because I could have sworn I was bidding on a steelbook trilogy and did not realize till afterwards. Heck, I am sure if I go through my steels at home I could find one the might have a three disc insert I could then use for this project.

Look for used/damaged Steelbooks with three-disc holder on eBay. It's a better option than ripping apart a perfectly good Steelbook and making that one inferior.

Thanks for the suggestion. A quick search on eBay for "damaged Steelbook" did not net me too many results unfortunately.

ive thought about doing this to some of my steels but isnt the spine a PITA to remove and re-apply?

Remove? Nay. Re-apply? Yea.

Definate gap in the market for some of these. Maybe it's too niche though. I don't understand why Scanavo don't sell replacement inserts for their steelbooks on a proper e-store

Everyone reading this should e-mail Scanavo and ask them why they don't sell them - sales@scanavo.com

Maybe then, they might open an e-store when they are flooded with enquiries

I know there is a video on youtube on how to do it. In the video I saw re-applying it did not seen so hard...just a little double sided clear sticky tape is all that is needed.

Good idea...I am doing that right now. IMO why would a company not want another way to make a little dough.

I don't believe we're getting the DVD copy in ours so the steelbook will likely be a two-disc holder. I hope I'm wrong though as I would like the third slot for the 3D disc (if not it'll be kept in a plastic wallet inside the steelbook, as I did with The Avengers).

Fast & Furious 5, The Hunger Games, Battle Royale and the original Kick-Ass steelbooks were all three-disc sets. Fast & Furious 5 can be picked up for £8.35 at the moment (and probably cheaper third party or eBay).

EDIT: Someone has a used copy on Amazon for £7.50 (including postage). Scratches on the discs but obviously you're not fussed about that.

Damn, that is not a bad deal especially since I have been looking to get Fast Five...just not the UK version but I can deal with that.

I was also hoping there was a place to pick up 2/3/4 disc inserts as well.

I will email scanavo also. Thanks guys.

I emailed them months ago and never got a response. If you hear something let us know. I am sure there are quite a few people looking to do this. In the mean time I found a TDKR steelbook on eBay for $10 that I might buy just for the inside disc holder.

GreatGreg · 04-18-2013, 05:22 PM

This is a pretty niche market -- even for SteelBook collectors.

But they have to be produced somewhere anyway. Why not let consumers buy some if need be.

mgdking · 08-30-2016, 11:51 AM

I have been looking all over the net for a place to buy just the inserts. I realize this is an old thread but I thought I would ask if anyone knows of a place to buy these at yet? The last post was 3yrs ago so I thought I would see if there were any updates? I would like to find them in 2,3,4 disc inserts without buying actual steelbooks just for the inserts. I am not interested in the glue on hub things just the inserts. Anyone know of a place?

I think people buy really cheap crappy steelbooks, like the Steve Austin 4 pack for $10. But that's just one insert with 4 discs.
