What does PET full slip mean when buying a steel book? What's an example of one?

Kingsman Manta Lab is a good example.

The slipbox is made out of plastic material

I live in the United States.

It's rare that we get hit by Customs so you can go with pretty much anything. I normally just chose Merchandise and original Invoice price or whatever the option is.

If you were in Germany or UK, then you would need to worry more about marking the price lower.

Hey guys sorry if this is in the wrong place.

So is there any word on this, or a place I can ask to get some info?

We got the Season 2 and 4 steelbooks from BestBuy (which are awesome) and I'm really hoping to add the new seasons, they were both great.

Thanks!

We'll find out in a couple of weeks.

I hope they do! I bought the last set and was hoping they'd do this and maybe add legends and supergirl. Wishful thinking though.

Given how quickly Flash season 2 and Arrow season 4 sold I'd say it's likely we'll get steelbooks this year as well. BUT we just got a release date for Flash season 3 and have yet to get a release date for Arrow season 5 so if we do get steelbooks it will probably be announced closer to their respected release dates

The real question is will Flash season 1 or arrow 1-3 get steelbooks

I checked my ET copy to see if there was a defect in the release, but I didn't see anything.

I have been looking through my steelbooks and so far I have found rust (or it appears to be rust) on 5 steelbooks. The worst ones so far being my Lucy steelbook and my Hunger Games (the first one) steelbook.

It is the material used for clear and colored slipcovers.

Guys, which studios are not region free? I plan to order Steelbooks on international Amazon sites because Best Buy dont ship in my country.

MANY THANKS!

Has anyone started a petition or anything ever regarding BB's stupid cardboard mailers they ship there steelbooks in? If not we should start one and send it to whoever is the most important within BB? I am so sick of spending good money on steelbooks only for them to shove them in something that offers zero protection! Its such a pain in the butt having them shipped to me only for them to be damged by the time they reach me. The nearest BB to me is an hour and half away. So shipping is the only answer. Would anyone be interested in trying to make a difference and get this matter rectified?

My ET steelbook has spots of rust on the opening edges, even though it's never been near any moisture.

I wonder if you were using plastic protective bags on your steelbooks?

It really just depends. Some studios have worldwide rights, some don't. Sometimes even the same exact discs from two different countries are locked. Boutique labels like Criterion and Shout Factory are contracted to release in the US only, though Criterion recently started to release Blu's in the UK.

Thanks! But Disney is assured to be region free right?

How about Fox, Warner and Universal, for the most part?

Most of the time, yes, but not always.

You will have to do your research before purchasing. There is a website dedicated toRegion coding for movies.

You can always buy a cheap region free player to solve your problems.

Is there a way to buy blank steel books?
I know Google's a thing, but I can't seem to word my search correctly.

Basically there's a few movies I own where I don't like the original Steelbook so I didn't buy it, but I found Lenticular Magnets I do like. If I had an empty blank Steel book, I could sort of build my own box.

Any leads are appreciated.
