I brought this up in January at HDN. KingSteelie said he'd make them the SCF3 and they'll be out around June.

Rub it in that I don't have my CA1 yet.

What?! I seriously thought you had yours already?

My mistake, I must be confusing it with your other Blufans hauls. But, do let us know when you get yours and it it works.

I predict I'll get it around the 28th, based on Wall-E's shipping time.

I can't imagine CA1 is thicker than TF4 art C? If it's about the same, it will fit but the shrink wrap looked awful inside like it was being tugged. I know it's tough to think that the shrink wrap adds that much but from trying to fit in Kimchi Lentis in to SCF1s, the shrink wrap off they fit, on, they don't.

Mine fit in perfectly, not sure why people are saying they don't. Maybe it's the scf1 there trying.

All the more reason to open them! Hopefully you'll get yours in a few days.

So what I'm noticing is the Nova Lenticulars for Edge of Tomorrow, Planet of the Apes an the Kimchi ones for her, ESOTSM....they all fit opened but it's a squeeze. I've found it better to slid in the slip on it's own and the the movie. You have to be real careful though as the ridges on the lenticular have been scratching the inside of the case. Last one I just tried was Nova's Planet of the Apes. I put a movie sized piece of think paper over the front as I slid it in to avoid scratching. The first time, I tried, it scratched it up pretty good. :/

We could really use an SCF1.5, LOL

order a small batch from RetroProtection.com and see if they work any better for you. i have a batch of 25 from there and am using them on my T2 non-kimchi w/ slip and a Finding Nemo Viva Metal Box w/ 3D lenticular slip and they fit no problems.

Thanks. I'll pick up 10 for now and see how they go. I'll use the rest of the 100 others I bought for the likes of my BBY, Target, Zavvi steelbooks for now.

It was the SCF2, but I was trying with a sealed copy. Must be opened to fit. For me, anyway.

The way the seal is it just won't allow it. But I'll be opening soon to solve the issue.

In a perfect world, Emma Watson would hand deliver all our steelbook sleeves, and invite us over to see her steelbook collection.

"Sigh"....

a guy can dream....

[Jude72]

So I boxed up some more Steelbooks with the SFC1s and SFC2s.

This time I did manage to squeeze a couple Nova and Kimchi Lenticulars in to the SFC1s whilst still sealed. Kimchi Iron Man and NM Guardians Art B went in fine. NM Guardians Art A just wouldn't slide in. Think I'll wait and try the cases I picked up from RetroProtection.com for some of my other Asian Lentis.

Being jerked around by Steelbook Central. I asked if I could place an order for 250 to complete my collection and was told no problem. so I put an order in and...cancelled. Now get told they won't allow orders over 50, so I order 50...cancelled. Yet they are still selling packs of 50 on eBay.

Weird. I ordered 100 of the SFC1s on ebay no problem. Is it cheaper for you to order from their store than ebay?

I would actually like to apologize for my comment. I had that mixed up. The new sc2's are actually tighter then the first ones. I went and looked at the ones that I have and compared them to the original sc2's. The new ones are actually smaller. Only by a couple mm. As I originally thought. But the other way around. So you are correct. They do fit a little snug. Especially now since I open my steels and actually watch the movies its a little tough to get them out. So sorry about that. I was mistaken.
