Not bad for a newbie eh?? :-)

speedyjay · 02-23-2014, 12:25 AM

More :-)

vivablu · 02-23-2014, 12:47 AM

wow....I'm not sure if you're a newbie or not. Look at that Iron man & Captain America steels....they're gorgeous!

speedyjay · 02-23-2014, 12:51 AM

I did want to buy the British Captain America steelbook, but it's sold out everywhere now. As you can probably tell, I got my one from Germany :-) I have got a few more steels, but not enough display brackets to put them on display. Have you been collecting long??

I'd be happy to trade you my UK Captain America for that one. Lol. I have been collecting steels myself for only about a year and a half and amassed about 100 in that time. I can only display between 5-10 unfortunately and the rest just sit spine out on the shelf.

I've been collecting since the age of DVDs, but never been a hard-core collector. I just got into collecting g2 steels this past couple years, but never went all out with this hobby. It's expensive.

What's so special about my one?? They look identical don't they?? :-) I've just bought Toy Story 1,2 and 3 from amazon.de, I like the characters faces on the steelie instead of the regular everyday artwork you see on regular blu rays. I've got the entire Avengers collection apart from one.....THOR!!!! the thing is, it's so damn expensive lol

Very nice speed. While we really don't have a collection thread you also could have posted them here.

Don't know if you picked up anything recently though but still very nice.

All good bud. Maybe we need to make a thread for collections. Not sure if the mods would approve or if we need one since we have the haul thread. I'll have to ask around and test the waters.

So if you don't mind me asking. How did you go about getting some of those? Did you get them when they first came out or are they recent pickups?

I looked around and saw that they were quite rare (and also very expensive) lol so to kick start what seems an awesome (and expensive lol) hobby, I decided to start at the top, not quite futureshop iron man or German Rambo (a little too expensive) lol

neoz · 02-23-2014, 02:02 AM

Oh Lord, I'm afraid to ask how much you paid then.

Captain America £105
Iron Man £100
I got pacific rim brand new from amazon, as did I the rest of my steelies. I'm really after Thor, I have the entire Avengers collection except Thor, if you know any places that are selling it (not at a ridiculous price lol) let me know buddy. Do you have any steelies for sale?? What are scalpers??

Neoz was thinking about doing this, good call buddy :-)

speedyjay · 02-23-2014, 02:18 AM

I don't get it lol

vivablu · 02-23-2014, 02:36 AM

I guess he's surprised at the prices you paid for them. They were less than £30 when they were released.

You may want to look into the new Blufans release for Thor since it will have separate steelbooks for both films.

Smigro · 02-23-2014, 03:05 AM

Welcome to the club and prepare yourself. I started collecting steels about a year ago and went from 0-150 in that time.

I have slowed a bit lately and am pretty much limiting myself to Marvel, Disney and movies that really like. It is just too expensive to try and own every steelbook out there but props to those that can afford it.
