I attached the master thread for the polybags. It contains many links to places where you can get them. I know its a lot of reading but read it because there are different companies that does the bags and they have their pros and cons. Ideally, the steelbook shell is the way to go but they are expensive and living in the US you'll need to pay for international shipping since the shells comes from Germany.

Steelbooks are a thing of beauty and while most people will say, they are choosy about which steelboks to get, I doubt it. Even I, own steelbooks in my collection just for the fact that the artwork is nice, or simply because it is a "rare" and valuable steelbook. Not many, but I do own them and don't even like the movie or is simply not a movie I'd watch over and over. As a newbie, do the best to think a little more before giving in to your impulses. This is what I struggle with everyday.

Yeah. That mentality for me lasted a whopping 60 seconds until I saw the Canadian steelbooks on Amazon.ca were cheaper on there than any listing on eBay I had seen. I got both Kill Bill movies and Inglourious Basterds, replacing the standard blu releases. I sold those 3 to a local shop yesterday on my day off. The 90s Tarantino flicks in my collection, however, are still standard blu-rays for now. And I'm OK with that, since those steelbook prices are outlandish at this point in time for me...

I'm cool with the fact that I got into steelbooks to late to pick up Pulp Fiction, Shogun Assassin, T2 among others for a reasonable price. There are other recent ones I've missed as well. Whatever. They're out there to get if you're willing to pay for them, but I'd rather get the ones that CAN be had for a sane price. One day, I might get a good deal on one of them, or decide they're worth splurging for. They'll never be IMPOSSIBLE to get.
