Now on I only buy steelbooks when I know I like the movie, or if the steelbook is very rare.

I haven't bought any of those grails, they are just too expensive for me.
And I could never justify spending that much for a steelbok.

I bought them all on release day for $30/piece max, I was being sarcastic, they were wise decisions.

Okay, but I don't get how buying very rare steelbook is a fail though.

Its an automatic fail if the steelbook has Green in the title.

Or if the film is terrible of course.

Felt a bit guilty about paying more than I had previously paid for any film for the Thor steelbook...until it arrived

Because it's the wrong reason to buy!

Buy the steelbook if you like the film or haven't seen it but know you probably will. You are stating your intentions as "I'm going to buy any steelbook that will be rare just because it will be rare." Buy for the content, not the case. Make the case an incentive to show extra appreciation for the FILMS you love.

Hence all of the FAIL comments.

I'll never see the attraction for the Thor steelbook. It's a great one, very classy and I have it but I see the silly prices people spend on it and it's nuts. The embossing is great and the picture chosen is perfect but the way it's placed just always seemed off to me - like a cut-out thin glossy picture just glued to the front of a plain black steelbook. And the back picture is alright but a bit too fake-looking.

As I say, a great steelbook overall (despite my nitpckings!) but I see people placing it on such a pedestal and declaring it to be their favourite and I just don't see it. Personally I thought the Captain America one was better.

Off-topic I know, I apologise

On-topic, I do still feel guilty about getting the Star Wars steelbooks, simply because they came out in a two-week period where I was already spending a solid amount on blu-rays (thanks Jurassic Park 3D, Hobbit and the Disney BOGOF) but I assumed they'd sell out if I left it too long and I really liked them. Happy with them, it's just spending £60 on any two blu-rays this month. I really hope they go OOP soon to help me justify it
