I just bought my very first Steelbook.

I think this is the beginning of a new, expensive hobby. Anyways, I'm now one of you. Now who wants to touch me?

I SAID WHO WANTS TO TOUCH ME?!

i'm flattered, but unless you're both females....no puedo tocar.

I'm gonna go back to BB on Friday and pick up Cars + Bugs Life, too. I wish I'd have known about Steelbooks before this....missed out on Hurt Locker

MCT,

Hit the airport BB at River City. They have all of them!

MCT · 03-22-2010, 01:28 AM

will do.

Do you guys keep your steels wrapped in plastic, or do you actually watch them? Cruz I looked at your setup and I noticed all of yours are unopened. I'm thinking about doing the same thing....

I have them open and I reseal them.

However, I have the US BD version that I use to watch. Just buy a few and stop before you get addicted.

haha....yeah I know...it looks so pretty on my shelf, can't wait to add more. But no, I'm only going to get steelbooks for movies I actually enjoy and that I don't already own in standard casing. Those are my rules, to keep me from becoming a junkie. I don't trust myself, though. Let's see if I can actually adhere to my own rules.

Congratulations! Rules get revised - I think we all started off with some pretty restrictive rules. Many of mine are still in place, but many others have been sacrificed at the SB alter. Good luck!

I think those rules might last for 2 weeks and then they will be out the window. BTW, welcome to the *cough* SteelBook club

Buckle up it will be an expensive, but fun ride

Stick to your rules

Only buy decent movies and unwrap and watch them. They still look good on the shelf without the wrappers.

Keeping them wrapped means you can't watch them. What kind of movie fan would do that

MCT · 03-22-2010, 12:30 PM

The only reason I ask is because I didn't know if you guys look at these things like investments or something....like maybe in the future, the value of them would go up after they go out of print, and they could be worth more in plastic. If thats not the case, then I'm going to tear open every one of them lol.

While I have everyones attention, I might as well ask...where can I get a decently-priced NL Clone Wars steel? The only one I've seen was on Amazon and its going for $150. Yeah, no.

Personally, I am a sealed collector, but I do not keep them sealed because I look at them as investments, but rather because I look at them as collectibles.

I agree that they are movies and they would be great to watch, but I put that right up there with how great it would be to read a Spider-man no. 1 comic .... would be awesome, but if I had it, the comic, I still wouldn't do it.

Some steelbooks are not orth the "steel" used to create them, but others are rare and highly valued, in terms of desire to own, collectibles, but at the end of the day, do what ever makes you feel good inside
