Reservoir Dogs (ctd) 

Apologies folks. I forgot to include the FS type B which I love 

I swapped out the NM steelbook and replaced with Zavvi which matches  the theme and art perfectly 😊

Along with 4 art cards I love 

@ksosk you've been hustled 😉

Invoice paid 👍

@Pbsw23

Great post 👍

I cracked up at your descriptions for Zavvi, BF (playboy genius) and Weet 😀

Boy, if Manta ever enter the MCU game, they'll blow everyone away 

Just look at their masterpieces, Inglorious B, Revenant, La La Land, First Man, Us, and soon to be released Dunkirk 

They'd blow everyone out of the water 

These Zavvi riff raffs will be nowhere to be seen

I've also spent a lot on multi dipping in the MCU 

But my take is a little different 

Blufans OC is my base.. I have got each and every one of those 

But then in every OC, I swap the duplicate steelbooks. So for example, I will keep the original Blufans WEA in the DL, then swap the same SB in the single lenti and FS editions with Zavvi lenti and BB 4k. So I have three different editions with 3 different steelbooks. 

Then after that, if there are any further exclusive WEA example NE or KE or Weet, then I buy further 

Essentially I want the variety of exclusive steelbooks, but will not typically have the same steelbook across editions. Makes sense? 

Obviously collecting is very personal, so each one to his own. There is no wrong or right way. If one has the money to spend £££, (which I do not unfortunately), you cannot begrudge someone for that 

@Tonic24k

That's insane lol

Now I know why this forum is called Media Psychos lol.

I agree Zavvi did some impressive stuff with Marvel, but I was referring to the flood of Marvel steelbooks up-till now

Many retailers were in on the act: Zavvi, Blufans, Nova, Kimchi, FAC, Weet, BB etc. Added to that , there were multiple Zavvi lines, so a multiplier effect

Amongst these, Kimchi and Nova did some exclusives (think Cap 1 and 2, GOTG, Avengers, Age of Ultron etc). Then recently, Weet have been dominant (with the Blufans hiatus).

Even then, we had Fanatics enter the market albeit WWA

Re: GoTG, I have the Zavvi lenti (agree, nice), the Blufans exclusive, the Nova exclusive, the Zavvi / BB 4k line 

I really was not feeling another steel-book for GoTG right now. Whilst Mondo is always jazzy , and I like the artist involved - it will look horribly out of place in my current collection

That said - I do have the Mondo / Blufans collaboration Avengers steelbook which is nice - but that in part is because there were no premium releases for this (apart form the Nova type A, B and C)

And more to the point , if Mondo really had to do another steelbook, they could have chosen a non Marvel film (a Tarantino flick for example - they did a great job with Reservoir Dogs)

Do I really need a 5th GoTG steelbook. No! There are already too many for this particular title 

If they really had to do a Marvel, perhaps they could have done a title for which no premiums currently exist e.g. Iron Man 2 or 3, Antman and the Wasp

Had Mondo done either of these three - then would I have got it? Probably yes (due to lack of choices)

Obviously, this will still sell out - cash cow for Mondo / Zavvi ... such mugs we collectors are!

Haha... I'm just Marvel'd and DC'd out

Buyer fatigue for these two franchises has definitely kicked in for me

But they definitely changed the Collector and steelbook market, that's for sure.. 

We have been treated to some quite spectacular and awesome editions

Yet another Marvel  steelbook.. 

Hope this is not another Marvel line 

This is getting beyond a joke from Zavvi if that's the case 

There is the lenticular line, the 4k line and now this..

Funny thing is that mine aren't like that there are no blank pages in mine although I watched a guy on youtube open his and it was like your describing it. WTF! Lol.

Hmmm 🤔

Confused 

Thanks @Ryan

Another thing I could not understand, in the booklet of part 1, half of it is blank.. 

Was this intentional, did it have a meaning vis-a-vis the movie? 

If not, then I do not get the blank pages 

@R1s1ngs0n

Wrong! 

I'm a psycho lol 😆
