Hi Media Psychos I just joined the group, as I love to hear you guys rant about steelbooks. I have two collections my digital library which I purchase movies from iTunes and my Physical media Library. I only view my digital collection as I can view it everywhere, and I am very lazy to keep loading discs in my player. 😛 My physical media collection is pretty large and nearly all of my DVDs and blu rays are sealed. I love most film genres neo noir: John wick, seven, a simple plan etc, sci fi, action matrix, speed, turbo kid etc. However my TV Show library says otherwise I mainly love sci fi shows like stranger things, stargate sg1, farscape, xfiles, twi…

Hi everyone! I am a guy who loves movies and have so since 1983 and have been eating movies for breakfast! i was collecting movies first on VHS and then when DVD came heaven open! I had as much as 2500 dvds mostly collectors boxes but got to be a father and moved a lot so I sold everything which I totally regret today! But recently ( 1 year ago) I discovered steelbooks!! So assume! Love them! So now I have required over 500 steels in 8 months 😉 and started to build my media library! heard that this forum is a great place to do so so hope to make some nice connections here 😉

Not new to the collection game but new to the community I guess. I found the steelbooks and steelbookswap subreddits. Which led me to a discord. Which led me here. Happy to see such a thriving community and I'm even happier to know that I won't have to scour the internet any longer to figure out new releases. I have a couple hundred steelbooks and premium editions. Adding more everyday. My grail was the John Wick Maniacs Edition from FA that I just received today. I'm a working professional so a lot of my fun money is on this collection lol. Cheers.

Hey guys! I'm a 24 year old guy living in Texas who is now enamored with SteelBooks. I found this forum thanks to rave reviews from some of the regulars of the /r/SteelBooks subreddit and corresponding Discord server. Suffice to say, since the quarantine started, my obsession with SteelBooks has begun and exacerbated! I'm no stranger to physical media as I have a pretty extensive collection of music CD's, primarily heavy metal and punk rock, but this is my first foray into film collecting. Prior to being furloughed due to COVID-19, I actually worked as a server at my local Alamo Drafthouse cinema, and those of you familiar with the chain are probably aware of …

So I started collecting steelbooks in late June this year, and ever since I’ve come into the possession of 32 steelbooks and around 6 preorders... At this pace I’m definitely gonna spend the rest of the year eating only tuna cans. What brought me here was a fellow member from the steelbooks subreddit, as I asked for advice on getting the Gonnies release from cinemuseum. To which he mentioned group buys in here. Happy to be a part of this community! 🇵🇹

Hi Everyone Firstly, can I just say that this is an outstanding site - as a lifelong Jaws fan I never knew there was so much to collect from around the world!!! Being the same age as the Jaws movie I have always collected movies but unfortunately I have found this to be a dangerous task in the past: 80s/90s Collecting VHS tapes - had a massive collection but then unfortunately I met my future wife who within a few years had moved my collection from the Living Room to the Kitchen then to the Garage and eventually to the local charity shop - I'm not sure Oxfam wanted an Ex Rental version of Last House on the Left but they got them all any…

Hi everyone, Till a month ago, I had never heard of this web site. I am not a full time collector but I did get some collector's edition through ebay (hell they were expensive!). My favourite movie is the Lord of the Rings and I am so excited when I heard the 4k version is gonna release this year! Later I found out hdzeta is planning to do a special edition I was like gosh I need to get these...! (Well I am in fact a fantasy fiction lover too and my favorite author now is Brandon Sanderson... anyone?) So, one bad thing about working from home for months is that you start doing online shopping like crazy... I haven’t started doing any gr…

Hello to from Texas! I heard about this place on reddit because I am a 4k steelbook addict and heard about group buys! Here's my little collection of almost all 4k steels....., but some like Star Wars and Straight Outta Compton are the regular steels with the 4k discs.

Hi everyone! So I made this account last year before the chaos and never really said anything so I thought I'd finally post an intro. Used to collect DVD's when I was in my early 20's and ended up stopping for a long time...... .....and now im 37 and completely addicted to boutique editions and ended finding Media Psychos. I'm happy to be here and hope to have a fun and expensive time with all you film lovers. Horror is by far my favorite genre and I've been hooked from a very young age. Lets just say I had an uncle who was on the care free side of things when it came to letting me scare the stop using inappropriate language out of myself. Love that…

Hi, I am super stoked that I finally joined this forum. I just started collecting, and focus mostly on Steelbook and Fullslips of my favorite movies and classic. I have to say, it surely is addicting! I dont think my wallet is too happy right now. Once I saw a Black Baron edition of "The Shining" I just had to get my hands on it. Some of my favorite directors are Kubrick and Lynch. Thanks for the warm welcome and talk to you soon!

Hi! I'm MirroredReality! I'm relatively new to the whole physical media collecting scene. I've had a tiny collection for a while but it's begun to ramp up this year, starting with Criterion's release of The Grand Budapest Hotel, which I just had to have it, it's one of my favorite films. During Criterion's 50% off sale this past July, I got started on a real collection with: 3 films I've seen and loved Portrait of a Lady on Fire Marriage Story Tokyo Story And 6 I hadn't seen but really wanted to Solaris For All Mankind The Princess Bride Moonrise Kingdom In The Mood For Love A Brighter …

Happy to be joining this board! I am a lifetime media collector, but have just recently gotten into premium edition steelbook titles. I am selective in my purchases, but I hope to participate in group buys and continue to build my collection while discussing with fellow fans! Thank you for having me!

Hello, glad to join the community! I started collecting DVDs when I was a kid about 15 years ago. As I progressed through my later 20s, I stopped my collection as I started turning towards streaming/digital. I do remember seeing steelbooks back in the DVD age, but I never bought them because they were more expensive. I spotted them in Best Buy about 2 years ago, and I got the itch to start buying them. Haven't looked back since! I don't buy too many premiums, but there are a few that I do really want every once in a while. I generally get them off of eBay, but I thought group buys might be a bit easier on me (and the wallet). This looks like a really great com…

Hi I'm BlackWolf, from France (Nera Paris), so sorry for my English. He come more of movies and series in original version i'm watching, than school. (Learn English in school in France looks complicated) But i have a very beautiful Franglish. I arrived here, beaucause since few days I've fallen back into the collector's edition, steelbook,... addiction again. My first purchase was with the beginning of the DVD, but with the BluRay I felt betrayed, believing that, like the VHS, all my DVD's going to be obsolete. 'I believe i was wrong). So, after few years and a lot of change in my life I feel like taking up my collection again. (And watching m…

Hi Everyone! My name is Andrew and I am currently living in Hong Kong. I am a passionate collector, which includes figurines, retro games, sneakers and most importantly Blu-rays though I specialize in the Steelbook department. I started collecting Steelbooks 16 years ago back in the DVD Era and am really into Premium Steelbooks these days and have also started to show off my Steelbooks to fellow collectors on Instagram two months ago and really got to talk to many collectors in the Steelbook community which was a real positiv experience, so I thought the next step in connecting with more Steelbook Collectors was to join Media Psychos! …

Hi everybody, I am from Salzburg, Austria and have been collecting movies since the tender age of 16, starting off with VHS (yes, I am that old!🤫) and going through all the formats (still have over 100 LaserDiscs) over the course of the years, buying the same movies over and over again, marvelling at the improved image and sound qualities of my favorite pictures. Until fairly recently, I would have described myself as a movie collector. I never put the focus on collecting specific labels, instead I gathered a wide array of international movies from all countries and of all ages. So you will find pretty much anything in my collection: from Carl Theodor …

So... a little bit about me... Well... I'm quite certain I'm not that interesting. But I think I know the real reason we're all here. I believe I've reached steelbook addiction status. I started with Best Buy and Zavvi but that, of course, wasn't enough. Kind of new to the whole wide world of premiums, but Manta Lab got me hooked and I've been in love ever since. I fully expect this place to help me feed said addiction. That's right. I don't want help. I like it here and I'm staying.

Hi there, I’m not an addict. I haven’t yet got that bug many here have. Live in the south of England and my first film at the cinema was Raiders - hint to my age 😉. I found interest in SteelBooks just recently, then saw that I’d missed all these more limited and great releases. I’d never heard of GB... my thanks to @romeroland for making his videos which led me to this Asylum. This doesn’t seem a community full of expert collectors angry with the ignorance shown by the novice, so look forward to joining in asking Qs without being told to G**gle it or check the posts! (That said, I’ve enjoyed the guidelines for newbies here and can’t wait for that …

Hey everyone. Happy to be here and thank you for the warm welcome. Tl;dr - I like dogs 🐶 a little about me, I am 38 from Northern California. I am new to Steelbooks, but not new to collecting things. This all started when I got my first lg oled tv a few weeks ago. I immediately purchased a Panasonic UB820 4K player (first 4K tv) to go with the new tv. Before this I just streamed all my media. I have had a great center stage (right, left and center channel speakers) for audio and an anthem mrx1120 receiver to power it tie it all in. My goal is to have a home theater, theater In my home with full Atmos. With seeing the quality that only physical m…

Joined the other night and have already been treated awesome! 34 years old, mail carrier in the USA. Was always a fan of movies and books, my mom collected VHS (still owns first run Disney classics in great condition), and dvds. Guess it's natural I followed. Ive been collecting dvds and blu rays, have about 400ish. One day saw a steelbook I wanted December 2019 and that's when it started. Now I have about 150 of them. Some rare, some not. Unopened (ex-machina mondo edition, Unbreakable, Signs, and such. Just happy to have a found a place with like minded people (reddit isn't bad lol). Soooo yea. Nicknames Houdini, and that's what all my friend…
