I have spent many years collecting dvd/blu rays and only recently (Nov 2019) have I discovered steelbooks. I have had to endure ridicule and shame as netflix and other streaming sites started to make my collection seemingly obsolete and so many of my friends would ask "why are you buying it when you can just stream it hahaha". But at last, I have found my tribe. I used to love browsing the dvd section of Barnes and Noble or Hastings (US stores) and my first job was at a Hollywood Video making 5.75/hour. My wallet is getting thinner and thinner as I browse ebay and see steelbook after steelbook that I just HAVE to have in my collection. I am close to 60 steelboo…

The year is 2003. A 12 year old boy gets a portable DVD player for his birthday but there is a problem. No DVD to play. So the boy takes a trip to Target to buy his first DVD. He sees the selection. He is overwhelmed but very excited. He browses and browses and browses. Finally he has made a decision. The boy chooses the 2002 film 007: Die Another Day. Now of all the movies out at the time I still don't really know why I picked that film. Maybe because I had seen a few older Bond movies that never really stuck with me. Maybe seeing the fine ass Halle Berry and the cover had something to do with. All I know is it started something in me that has continued for 17 years. I'…

Hey guys and girls. So two Black Fridays ago I bought a 4K TV. Then I realized that cable looked terrible on 4K being upconverted from 720. I also realized that 4K streaming didn't really exist at the time so I started buying Blu-ray/4K lots on Ebay from people dumping their collections to go digital. I bought one collection of DC/Marvel titles and in it were Thor Ragnarok 4K Steelbook and Black Panther 4K Steelbook. I didn't know what they were at the time, but I thought they were pretty cool. So then I started looking into them. Last year I upgraded all my surround sound speakers 5.1. Then I noticed a lot of my 4K titles had Dolby Atmos so I looked into that. I put 2 ov…

Hopefully I've done this in the right place Hi everyone, I've been collecting for many years (in saying that, I am only 18😂) I started on VHS and DVD's from my local opportunity shops and it grew from there. I still have some special DVD's and tapes that I think are amazing and are of particular note but recently have delved into the world of blu-rays, 4k and their premium editions, only found out about all this a little while ago but have made many an order already. I have a top 100 movies list that is forever changing however at the top of the list and won't change I don't think, is an unusual favourite. Moulin rouge!, I have an emotional and nostalgic connection t…

Hello everyone! Gonna jump straight into it, saw my first Steelbook in 2014 which was Sucker Punch. Boy did I like it, 8 years later I've got over 150 Steelbooks on my shelves and it ain't stopping! Recently got into premiums, specifically Full Slips. Have a couple marvel ones on the way. Covid-19 has been no help to my uncontrollable Steelbook purchasing. I still have my job thankfully but now I'm home all the time so I just shop shop shop! I stopped collecting for about 3 years but now I'm back at it, joined about 20 Facebook groups and found Media Psychos. Finding out all about Premiums and Group Buys (never heard of it until about 2…

Hello fellow Cinephiles, I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally get to my introduction, mostly because any free time I have left outside of work and life is spent hunting down all premium editions of movies that I have seen over the course of my life and left an impression on me, shout out to @Scary Hair and @Masterblaster for helping out in that area. I guess this was inevitable since a buddy of mine recently started an acoustic panel company and used my media room as one of his test sites back in July last year, I then finally decided to upgrade my home theater at the end of December to a 5.1.4 setup and after that I knew I had to make a huge inv…

Greetings fellow collectors! I joined back in mid-December but then immediately decided to shield my eyes from all things collecting-related until the holidays were over and I had fully recovered. So I am sorry for the delay in introducing myself but, trust me, it was not easy (I will admit that I fell off the wagon once for the EverythingBlu Gladiator Exclusive, but stayed strong otherwise!). I have always been a fan of everything that tells a story - books, comics, games and, mostly, film. Little did I know that that fanaticism as a kid would translate into a very easy way to spend all my money as an adult! I discovered SteelBooks and Exclusives about a …

Hi everyone just thought I'd do the introduction. I'm also on another forum and actually never knew about this site until it popped up through Google so thought I would join. Can never be on to many forums speaking to new people and seing diffrent posts. Joined a few days ago now I'm based in the uk only been collecting about 2 years now. My collection isn't the biggest yet think my last count I was up to 67 but being only 31 give me another 10 years it could be god knows what number ha ha. (Poor bank balance) :). Thought I'd post a picture of the growing collection as you can see i also like venom but my favourite film is the conjuring hence the name…

Hey guys, this site is awesome. I was looking for a collector's edition for "The Prestige" because it is one of my favourite movies of all time and finally found one on here. But of course it sold out About 8 years ago I started collecting DVDs and Blu Rays but back then I didn't put much emphasis on high quality editions. These Ultra Group Edition look so awesome, I wanna take part in the group orders as well. That is why I made this account and joined the community. I am really looking forward to the next DP versions. Still need to figure out how everything works here, I saw a guide here somewhere... My favourite movies are Oldboy, T…

Hi everyone! I’ve been collecting steelbooks on and off for a number of years but I just started getting in to premium editions. Luckily my wife is ok with that! I’m a big fan of Mantalab and Novamedia so far. I’m looking forward to getting a few releases from Hdzeta soon! I’m not much of a forum poster, but i’ll do my best as this seems like a great community!😃
