I'm a 29-year old guy from Belgium with a big passion for movies and movie making. I've been collecting blu-rays on and off for years now and have a collection of around 200. Only recently have I been getting into special releases and steelbooks. I saw the Twitter account for Media Psychos pop onto my feed, I investigated and well... Here I am.

Hi everyone, long time collector here, and looking forward to being part of the community here! Love my steelbooks, collectors editions and slowly starting the move to 4K now! Have been collecting for many years now, both old 'classic' films and modern ones too. My oldest is probably play.com fight club, the newest being hmv's terminator dark fate. In terms of collectors editions, it's hard to choose between the Harry Potter collectors edition or the LOTR collectors!

Hi, I've been lurking on this forum for well over five years, so I figured it was time to finally sign up! I've always had an interest in steelbooks, but have never had a lot of money to purchase them, so I've become very envious looking at all of your collections! The first ones I purchased were 'Up' and 'Robin Hood' from the Zavvi in 2014, though I only have a modest collection of around 25 steelbooks currently. I've been sucked back into the world of steelbooks as I've been getting into film a lot more recently. I had a mostly movie-free childhood, and I was in a long term relationship where anything resembling a plot was off limits! People are always shocked at …

Hello! I am new to this site, but have been (slowly) collecting steelbooks over the past 6 or 7 years. My first steelbook was the Halo 2 Limited Collector's Edition way back in 2004 but I didn't wind up purchasing another for several year. Now, I have close to 100 steels with only a few duplicate titles. However, I do not own a single premium steelbook/set having only recently learned about them. I stumbled across this site while doing some research on some previous releases 🙂. I'm very much interested in learning more (especially what all these abbreviations mean) and hopefully participating in some group buys. Anyway, I look forward to meeting t…

Hello Everyone! I must confess I'm a newbie in the Steelbook area. I just started collecting Steelbooks this year but because of the Covid-19 I had more free time to look around than what my wallet supports, haha. Only a few weeks ago I found out about these premium companies and fell in love with all these beautiful editions. I got some of my favorites from WeET, HDZeta, Manta Lab, Novamedia and Blufans in such a short and expensive time. I tried to buy directly from them but has been a nightmare, first the Joker Manta Lab, Never got a chance. Today I tried for Once Upon a Time in... But again too "late". A week or so ago I was looki…

Hello MP! 😉 I decided to finally and shortly introduce myself. I am new to the Steelbook world. I found and decided to join this community because of the rumor about potential HDZeta release for the Lord of the Rings trilogy in 4K, that's how I found out about GB etc. Years ago I had LOTR extended editions, 4DVD for FOTR, 4DVD for TTT to which at later time I got also the box from 5DVD edition + extra DVD and Gollum's figure. Somehow I never decided to get ROTK as at that time it felt already that DVDs have no much bright future left... What made me get my first Blu-ray SteelBook was the recent release of SW:ANH. At this moment I don't …

Hi, everybody, and thanks for all the warm Welcomes I have already received! Just a little about me...I am a pretty avid media fan from the United States, and I've just really begun to become interested in exclusive and hard-to-get editions of movies likes Steelbooks. I have a ton of movies I own, and probably two dozen SBs. I'm really just beginning to focus exclusively on SBs and I realize I've missed out on some really great stuff. love the idea of being able to obtain these rare editions that might not be available anywhere else, and the sweet artwork that goes with them, thus my interest in MP. Was referred here from a recommendation I found on Reddit about GBs. I wi…

I may or may not regret signing up here. But in the mean time, I think I'm in good company. I've collected steelbooks infrequently for years, but now I've got the fever. And the only cure is cold, cold steel.

Hello fellow psychos I’m a new member and a film enthusiast who watches anything from major action movies to period pieces. I’m a major Scorsese and Tarantino fan and enjoy anything with Leo or De Niro in it. I love all physical media. I have about 500 movies in my collection. I collect criterion, digipacks, and have 13 premium slips. Most of all I’m a major Steelbook collector. I have over 140 and counting. It’s so great to be apart of this community, everyone has been so nice and welcoming me in with open arms. I appreciate the love.

Im not good with introductions so I will tell you a story instead. There were once a dark knight, a traveler of the night, who visited distant worlds without a purpose in his mind. He was no saint and never wanted to. He was a broken man, a ghost, lost in the darkness. An echo in the salton sea. Then, few years ago he found something new, something very special. Something he wasnt expecting. He had seen many things before, but nothing like it. It was like the sun, the moon and the starlit sky. It was love at first sight. It almost felt like breaking through (to the other side). And then he knew: nothing would never be the same again. Now he is nearly broke

I am Marius, 33 years old, married and father with 1 daughter. I am a native of beautiful Lower Saxony. Due to my job, I (unfortunately ins) ended up in the Rhineland. I have been collecting the last signs of life since the VHS. DVD's, Blu-Ray's, Steelbook's ..... Everything finds a place with me. In addition to my love of collecting films, I also fell in love with video games (which was many years earlier) There are also beautiful collector's editions and one or two retro pieces. Both games and consoles. OVP or open? It's one of those things for me. There are many pieces in my collection that remain in their original packaging and are only handled with white v…

Hey guys my name is Alex from Indiana. I am 36 years old and I have been collecting steelbooks for about 6 1/2 years now. My prized possession is my 2 copies of Ant-Man Zavvi lenticular steelbook. It is also my favorite collection. I am still building the Zavvi lenticular collection. I also have a great Blufans China marvel collection and am in the process of still looking for more of those. I look forward to finding any new steelbooks and am always looking for those rare and hard to find steelbooks.

Hi, there! Thank you to everyone for the welcome, as well as all the tutorials and help around the site. I'm really excited to learn more and explore stuff more! I got into collecting SteelBooks fairly recently, probably around last fall, and currently have a bit over a dozen, all from Best Buy. Premium releases are something that's really fascinating for me, despite being definitely against my best financial and spacial interest. While most of my experience with them has been marveling at unboxings and images online, I hope to actually get out and get some soonee than later, hopefully with the help of the resources here! Thanks again for everythin…

I decided to update my aging 2.0 system and television to a 4k QLED and 2.1 along with a new Denon 4500H. I hooked up the sub while waiting for the tv and wall mount to be delivered and decided I would go ahead and make a run at 5.1. Today the wrong tv was delivered due to a mislabeling by Samsung, so I am delayed another week. I discovered steelbooks early and love the concept, so I did a lot of research here and elsewhere on them. Naturally, I am drawn to the same beautiful art as you guys, so I figured I should start the 4k collection off right by joining. Thanks for having me!

First I just want to say thanks to everyone who have already welcomed me to MP! I’ve been collecting steelbooks on and off for the last few years (mostly off). With Covid-19 having us in lockdown, it gave me a lot of time to catch up with this hobby. My current premium collection mostly consists of Blufans. I’ve also recently completed the Best Buy line-up of Marvel steels, just waiting on the Hulk. I currently have HDzeta’s Saving Private Ryan on the way and have joined various GBs here already. With Marvel and Star Wars being my 2 passions, I figured this would be a good place to throw this picture on May the 4th (happy anniversary to…

Hi there everyone, Thanks for the welcome. Very glad to be here and looking forward to exploring the site. Like most of us, I am guilty of spending way too much on steelbooks and have a collection I am proud of and my wife is exasperated by. If anyone can share any tips of how to sneak their purchases into the house without alerting the other half, please let me know. In the meantime, I'll get started here by having a mooch around... Stay safe everyone

Bonjour à tous, Je m’appelle Glenn, j’ai déjà une petite collection de steelbook premiums (pratiquement tout les Mantalab, avec quelques HDzeta, Blufans et Novamedia).

Hallo, Ich heisse Glenn, ich habe schon eine kleine Sammlung von Premium Steelbook (fast alle Mantalab, mit ein paar HDzeta, Blufans und Novamedia). Mein Ziel ist meine Sammlung zu vergrössern!

Hi, everyone,actually I've been here nearly 3 months, and the reason I found this website it's that sometimes it's really hard to purchase Blufans and HDzeta in China, because only a few are released in China and rest of them just sell oversea, so I wondered how foreigners purchase these, since they don't even have a proper website(I did found a hdzeta website, but always the same things, never update)and that's how I found this website( it actually surprised me that Blufans and HDzeta are such popular oversea).And I want to talk to you about how this looks like in mainland China(I don't know whether there were people talked before) In China, only a very few …

Hey everyone. I’m a collector from norway. I’m 38, and have been collecting for 30 of them. Of course my obsession for steelbooks didn’t really kick in until 2008, about a year after the first official Bluray steelbook release. Over the years I have tried to compress my collection to the absolute minimum just as a way to not fill the house. I have succeeded and i now have around 300 steelbooks and some oddities. I am fairly proud of my steelbook collection as I have a fair few very sought after jewels in my collection. Recently (replaced text ) "Due to some certain situations" it is hard for me to continue my collecting hobby (removed text) I hope, by ma…

Hello and thank you for the warm welcome! Just a little bit about me. I started collecting Blu-Rays pretty hard in 2014 while in college. My first SteelBook that I remember getting was The Hangover Part 2 at a movie stop that was still open when I started collecting. After buying that first one I knew I was in for a ride and soon after started buying as many as I could find in my budget. I then started getting into the Best Buy and Target exclusives and the collection just kept growing. That leads me to where I am now. I just started getting into the premium SteelBook game and my first one was Iron Man Blufans Lenticular. While starting to research, I came acros…
