First of all I would like to say HELLO to MP community! After some some of reading and ripping off the latest news on premium steelbook releases I finally decided to jump on the train. I´m collecting since blu-ray and HD-DVD came out back in 2006/2007. In 2015 I sold a lot of my amarays and started collecting premium editions and plain steelbooks. My collection counts about 2500 units, 70% steelbooks, 10% digibooks and 20 % amarays. My main interest is collecting premium editions. I only buy amarays when there´s no steelbook release available. I´m here to keep track of future releases in the premium segment and to get to know folks that share t…

ihr Lieben, ich bin die Lilli und komme aus dem schönen, grünen Hessen. Schon als Kind konnte ich mich schon immer für Filme und Serien begeistern und bin immer weiter zum Junkie🤪 mutiert. Seit 4 Jahren bin ich jetzt am Sammeln und habe mittlerweile knapp 340 Steelbooks, vorwiegend aus Deutschland. Vor 1 Woche habe ich mein erstes Full Slip "Das Parfum - Die Geschichte eines Mörders" von KimchiDVD bei eBay ersteigert und bin total begeistert. Die Verpackung um dem Steelbook und die Extras sind mega klasse. Bin total verliebt. Jetzt will ich natürlich mehr davon...🤩 Ich freue mich schon auf die nächsten PREMIUM Editionen und hoffe das ich hier auch bei Neu…

I had no idea about collectors editions like the ones I've seen on this forum. I'm a newbie collector that loves movies and steelbooks but, can't believe how deep this rabbit hole goes with collectors editions. Looking forward to seeing everybody's hauls and hopefully joining in

Hi All! Introducing myself here, about 8 years too late it seems. Huge movie fan growing up, small city in California, not many other movie friends so got into film criticism and worked as a critic, covered fests, for a little bit -- you may have read some of my work! Had a huge collection of physical media growing up. I used to play video games competitively and all of my winnings would go into movies. Haven't collected as much since -- mostly because there's no space in my apartment for anything more, but do want to see physical media done correctly/ play a bigger role in the future of the film industry! Just wrapped up a Film Studies degree at …

Hello everybody! I wanted to get this up and introduce myself to everyone, I’m Jere and it’s very nice to meet all of you. You are the most welcoming and friendly group ever and I really appreciate it. A little about myself is that I’m 39 residing in the states, I have been collecting movies since my teen years I’ve sold off some and brought new ones over time so slime isn’t as massive and it could be, ive jumped on the steelbook and digibook wagon last year. I enjoy movies and can’t wait to discuss them with people who feel the same. My favorite genre is horror but usually if I enjoy a movie I love it forever as cliche and corny as that sounds. But I’m happy I found this…

Found MP by way of bluray.com was searching for a physical copy of The Wandering Earth as I've only been able to see it on Netflix. Then was on reddit recently and somebody posted a list of all Netflix movies that had physical releases and The Wandering Earth was on it. And I said "hold up, wait a minute" I know that there isn't a physical release because Netflix is a bunch of aholes that are greedy bastards that don't don't a dogs phooey about collectors. But anyways after a couple of minutes of research it brought me to MP which I have never heard of but it seems interesting so I had to make a profile to see what it's all about.

..but at least I got a cigar! (No, I don't smoke) Hey everyone, it's me tr0llhatt! Not really new here anymore, but I'm Thomas of Norway as some of you have learned by now. I haven't got a horned viking helmet, but I do have an axe! Which Gimli certainly approves of. I have managed to claw and push my way to a whopping 34 years of breathing! Over the summer I managed to get myself re-interested in steelbooks and other collectible packaging of both movies/tv shows and games, which has brought much dismay for my wallet. Had a brief stint in steelbooks some years ago, but it quickly fizzled out as I wasn't working at the time. This time though, I'm here to stay! Wel…

My name is Andy, and I am a 50 something American, living in New Jersey. All my friends and family discourage collecting physical media and would rather stream content. I, however, am obsessed with owning film. I remember seeing Star Wars in the theatre when I was in 6th grade. Unbelievably, Jimmy M had a birthday party 14 months after Star Wars opened and had a copy of the film on VHS! I couldn't believe you could pop in a cassette anytime and watch Star Wars on your TV! I decided then and there that I would have a great movie collection when I got older. And here we are- 40 something years later, and I have amassed over 280 films on blu ray/4K, some of which are…

Hello, I'm a collector from Finland and I've been collecting for about five years now. Being from Finland can make collecting steelbooks quite difficult as there are almost no places to buy movies from. Pretty much everything has to be bought online. I've been buying premium steelbooks every now and then for about two years now. I found this site recently and thought I'd join as it seems like a great place to talk to likeminded people and stay up to date with releases, maybe even join a gb once in a while. Thanks for reading!

Just joined and it seems I have some serious reading to do around this forum. You guys were recommended to me by many people so today is the day that I finally had a moment to do the necessary and sign-up. I’ve been a steelbook collector for a number of years and accumulating slowly but surely. But on joining the steelbook community at Reddit in recent times, I learned many things I was unaware of considering what I thought was just a personal hobby. Anyway... I hope to enjoy my time here.

hi everyone, I’ve been collecting videos since the vhs days. Most of my collections were anime Dvd’s but sold them in ebay once blurays came along. I stopped collecting until 4k came along and started back again - mostly bestbuy steels. Joined mediapsycho to score some exclusive steels . This won’t be good for my wallet, but what you gonna do. he he he! Got a ton of warm welcomes from you all and I appreciate it.

Hello - Long time movie collector but still fairly new to Steelbook collecting. I remember some years back when they started popping up at BestBuy and I accumulated a few, not thinking much of it - just another gimmick - then somewhere along the way they stared making art out of them and things got very interesting. I have gone from 'accumulating' to 'acquiring' and am always on the look out for the more offbeat titles that appeal to my warped aesthetic. Despite being super picky, I have still managed to acquire about 30 titles so far and really look forward to seeing what other folks have in their collections. They really are little art objects and are the perfect accout…

Hello new friends, I'm Doug! I'm 26, born and raised in Michigan, and started collecting blurays in 2014.

I heard about this place through reddit and figured I'd give it a shot since I've been seeing a lot of awesome editions of the films I love on Ebay. I became a movie freak in 2018 and haven't looked back since. Been collecting for about 2 years now, (mostly just regular blu-ray's or 4k's with the occasional best buy exclusive) and found myself searching around and trying to get information on if there would be a premium release of Tenet and was lead here by other collectors. Hope to find some cool stuff and make new friends!

My hubs and I are somewhat high risk and live in the Southern US with fairly rampant covid spread so we've pretty much been stuck at home since March. I had a healthy (some might say the opposite) stash of Criterion flicks before all this started which has grown to a much larger stash (go go B&N sales) and only recently discovered the world of 'boutique blurays' and have a growing collection of KL and Arrow discs to complement my Criterions. I discovered this site whole looking on eBay for a special edition of The Lighthouse and while I did not spend the $170 the buyer wanted for it, it's led me to what I imagine will be a much more expensive hobby in the …

My name is Rudy and I am new member to MP. But am not new to collection media. Started with VHS (mainly RKO Collection and Nostalgia Merchant collection), then DVD, then Blu-ray ( Criterion , Eureka, Kino). I have a 300 plus SteelBook Collection that I’m transitioning to 4K SteelBook. I just started collecting Titans of Cult. This site is awesome!! If you had to choose just a handful of collections of Blu-ray’s what are your top 3-4. I know that might tough for some of you. Also where could I find these complete lists of said collections! I appreciate your responses and thank you in advance. Moviedad

I found this Forum a few days ago when I was searching for a Steelbook that's hard to find, unfortunately I still don't have it but maybe you guys can help me out. I love Steelbooks and I have collected mostly Star Wars, Marvel and Disney. I'm a huge fan of Star Wars so beside collecting Steelbooks I also collect 1/6 figures en UCS Lego Star Wars. I hope everyone is doing well these crazy days, and i'm hopping to make my collection even more impressive than what I already have. Greets, Ian027VW PS: I'm from the Netherlands so my English is not the best. 😁

Hello, I'm just a guy who has spent the better part of the last seven years blowing money the old fashioned way of waiting for sales and going cheap, well now I want to expedite that process and try and get into premium collecting. I just bought my first one on eBay, it was a Manta Labs of Se7en. I was tempted to get the One Click, but figured I'd work my way up to hating myself a bit. In all seriousness, I'm very excited to be here and to build my collection to something I'm even more proud of. Here's a few things about my collection: 1. I open everything. I don't care how rare it is, or how much keeping it sealed will keep it's v…
