DVD Steelbooks

[roach_rch]

I wonder, do any of you collect(ed) DVD Steelbooks apart from collecting Blu-ray Steelbooks? After all they are still being released, and there is more titles available than BD SBs Is there a list a definitive list of DVD SBs somewhere out there?

[Edawg72]

I have a Robocop and Platoon. Actually trying to sell or trade.

[tom pain]

I have a few:

The Fly
Sin City
Zatochi
Scum

Got a bunch:

"Robocop," with both DVD and Blu-Ray shoved in there
"Apocalypto," both
"Boondock Saints," both
"I Am Legend," both
"Immortal," both
"Breed," both
"Death Proof," both
"Planet Terror," both
"Appleseed," DVD only
"Appleseed: Ex Machina," both
"Dune," DVD only
"Hellsing Ultimate" volumes 1-4, DVD only

I believe SteelBook Hunters has listings for all SteelBooks (DVD & BD from all regions)... I only own a couple DVD SteelBooks (Batman: Gotham Knight, When We Left Earth, and Essential Games of Yankee Stadium...

Anyone collecting DVD Steelbooks as obsessively as they collect Blu-Ray Steelbooks?

Is there a DVD equivalent of Iron Man (FS), Indy 4 or John Rambo?

I picked up a copy of Iron Man Steelbook on DVD last week when I was in the USA, partly because it was on special offer at $14.99 and partly because I like the artwork.

I also have Dark Knight (USA), Donnie Darko (GER) and Sin City (UK).

The 90's called... they want their DVD's back.

No, but in all seriousness, I'm sure 99% of us here have either never collected (like me) or stopped collecting DVD Steelbooks, or anything DVD for that matter.

I still buy/collect DVD Steelbooks, but only from movies that aren't likely to get any Blu-ray Steelbook treatment (soon).

Still in my main Steelbook closet are:

- The Big Lebowski
- Braveheart Definitive Edition
- The Departed (because I hate the Bluray Steels with non-English titles)
- The Incredible Hulk
- Jurassic Park Trilogy (this Steelbook costs a lot less space than any other trilogy release)
- Back to the Future Trilogy (ditto)
- Kingdom of Heaven Definitive Edition
- Predator Definitive Edition
- Reservoir Dogs
- True Romance
- Up (I don't like Jumbos)

I'm still trying to get V for Vendetta, Heat and Batman on DVD Steelbook. My Blu-ray Steelbook collection is outgrowing my DVD Steelbook collection though I'm also replacing the DVDs in these Steelbooks with Blurays.

Indiana Jones 4 and Rambo 4 both got DVD Steelbook releases in Holland.

Seriously though, I only started collecting steelbooks once I got into blu ray.

Would be interested to hear what dvd steelbooks were around and what the rarer ones are.

Maybe a dvd steelbook gallery thread would be nice??

I never collecte them like I colected BD Steelbooks, but I can tell you that worldwide there are well over 1000 DVD steelbooks released and many many of them were for complete garbage movies.

I also see this as the future of the BD steelbook. We have already had lots of garbage titles released and as time goes on, the BD steelbook release list will grow exponentially to the point of

I wish all of the remaining completist collectors the very best of luck, seriously

That's an interesting prediction.

I must say I agree with you. Just looking at it from a UK point of view. We have (if my maths is correct) 20 blu ray steelbooks released over here. 8 of them are 2010 releases. In fact, half of them have been released since November 2009.

Seems their popularity is only growing.

I will take a look back through my collection manager, up to date to the end of 2009, and post some release numbers for 2007, 2008, and 2009

There was a Jurassic Park Trilogy steelbook???!

[SatinKzo]

I actually have quite a few DVD steelbooks. Most of mine are for personal favorite movies or store exclusives that I could get (before ordering from other countries). There are tons of just absolute crap movies with steelbooks though, so it kind of sucks.

My favorite dvd steels that I own are:

Platoon
X-men 1.5 and 2 (never wanted to pay for the 3rd since I didn't enjoy the movie that much)
Death proof
Planet Terror
Boondock Saints
Cloverfield
Transformers (Decepticon)
Doctor who complete 4th season (thanks best buy price error, got it for $20)
Robocop
Beowulf.

I have quite a few other, but have stopped collecting them and now just grab BD steels every now and then.

I do collect the odd DVD steelbook still. I try and find the more unusual ones, i recently got The Grudge 2 steelbook with 3-D lenticular cover. I also like the liquid metal paks from spain, i just got The Hitcher and it has red liquid that looks like blood in the cover, i think it looks pretty cool!

It's awesome. It has a great matte finish. Be sure to ask the Amazon-seller wether he's selling the Steelbook edition, though!

I only got the 1408 DVD Steelbook.
Wich is embossed. Quite nice.
