If there hasn't been anything posted by now, then there probably isn't any such outlet, sadly. I know if I ever stumbled upon somewhere selling just the innards, I'd let the forum know. Many others would, too.

Yes I suppose your right. I know I would as well. Just so hard to believe no one is selling these things? As much damage that accures or can accure with steels you would think someone would want to sell them. Of course maybe they just want us to buy another copy. Well at any rate this blows. I would like to condense my discs into my steels but you just can't fit 3 or 4 discs in a steel using the stick on hubs. To me having new inserts to accommodate however many discs there is is the best way to go. Well if I find anything I will be sure to post it.

I've been looking at damaged steels on ebay and even cex here in the uk. Some are really cheap. But does mean you have to buy a movie you don't want or like to have a innards.

These were on sale for $6 each around Black Friday on AMZ, unfortunately I could only order 3 as they placed a customer limit for the item. I just ordered 7 more at $8 each (just enough to get free shipping, otherwise shipping would've been like $10 for a handful). Hopefully they won't cancel the order. Luckilly, I received the first order yesterday so I could verify that the cases aren't any wider than the normal 1/2/3 disc SteelBooks before I ordered more.

I bought these to swap cases for titles like Ben Hur or Gone With The Wind where there are multiple discs, but the SteelBook releases only got a single disc release. It also opens up the possibility of including OST CDs or UHD discs. They'd also be a little easier to use than the normal 2-disc cases, as the discs don't overlap. But the plastic is probably thinner.

I feel kinda dirty buying so many copies of bad films for donor cases.

I kinda feel like, if Scanavo sold replacements, they'd probably be like $2-3 each anyways.

It's a real shame they don't sell the inlay plastic. But it would be more than 2 or 3 bucks

I wonder what I'll do with ten copies of each (40 discs total)! lol

Thought maybe print up an insert and sell them in normal cases, but I don't think these would sell enough to recoup the cost of a replacement case and ink costs.

Ten cases should be enough for me for future use. Not too many titles get 3-4 disc sets. There are a lot of 2-disc sets out there, but the same could be said of 2-disc SteelBooks that I could harvest.

I need about 5 single-disc trays to replace the dual-disc trays of steelbooks that I've sold the 3D disc or the 4K disc of. If anyone could engage me in a trade, that'd be awesome.
