Agreed!!! I think I found Ghost Rider on eBay first but thankfully my offer on one expired and I got it waaay cheaper through this nice person and it's brand new and sealed and everything! Ghost Rider is one of my favorite older Marvel films along with Elektra and Daredevil. The sequel was garbage though lol.

Nabbed all of these from someone in a steelbook Facebook group! I paid 140 euros total for the four (shipping was free since I bought more than three steels), and then they threw in the brand new Gone Girl bluray as a total surprise for free! So sweet!!! This has been my favorite buy yet for sure. So great to find awesome collectors and the person I bought these from was truly super kind. So so happy, got such a good deal and some really hard to find copies Glad I have Ghost Rider because I have another title coming!!

The one click and Lenti slip A sold out so fast.. Glad I got mine through the GB!!

As you know we both committed and I'm so glad we did! I swear without GBs I would be a lost dog paying too much on eBay all the time! Thank you for the info!! I see those in all of my Disney movies but I'm so laaaaazy I never redeem anything because I forget about it. HDZeta makes some of the prettiest steelbooks!! That's exactly why I hopped on that Wonder Woman HDZeta one click SO quick lol! Consistent quality too which I really like. I actually ended up buying Passengers HDZeta as well since I've really been liking the look of it. Hopefully it'll be here soon!

I can always count on you to know what's up!! I think you're right, majority of them look like bulges rather than dents now that you've described it to me. They packed it well so definitely not their fault if there are any dents. Looking at it now though it's really reassuring because they all look like bulges. Glad I freaked out for nothing! I LOVE this movie. I saw in a little indie theater back in 2011 or 2012 (can't remember when it came out right now) and I LOVED IT! I even got the books that they're based on (never read 'em though lol) and I bought the original movie Offspring. Gotta say though.. The Woman was AWESOME. Offspring was just garbage to me. I actually bought the copy I watched so I ended up selling it back to FYE (a movie/music selling and buying store) for like 99 cents lol. I just didn't want it in my house or anywhere near me!! But The Woman is great, probably gonna bust this baby open and rewatch it since I forgot to buy even a DVD or bluray copy all of these years so haven't watched it since my theater viewing! I very much agree. I think I see one or two concave, debating if it's worth bugging the seller and/or doing a return or if I should just leave it be. Funny enough I've gotten maybe four steelbooks direct from Zavvi and they all came in pristine condition! Probably just jinxed myself though lol. I think I'm just gonna open it up and confirm my suspicions. I was gonna leave it be but if it's glue I don't want to return for nothing It really is!! It helps me gauge how much they've been actually selling for as well as see if any items ended without being sold that I could message the seller and be like "do you still have this?" I've gotten some buys that way Yeah Amazon is AWFUL!!! And I was shocked too! I know this is the first FA and it's really short run but almost a grand for a bluray steelbook with nothing special other than what's included and of course the chance to say you have it... I won't ever pay more than maybe $700 for a single steel and even then that was again just for AASB. After this I am not going to pay any crazy prices again. I actually just got Elektra FA on eBay last night for less than $300 brand new and the guy actually lives near me. That was my only other super grail so thankfully it only goes down in price from here lol! I really hope so too, as this means a lot to me and I'm going to be super cautious about this one. I even plan to put the container of my steels in the car with me rather than the UHaul when I move out of state in March to ensure nothing happens! I knoooow but I hated it ? I was already spending a little over $100 for the box and then the slowest shipping was almost the cost of the box ? It's worth it though, would rather pay that than the upcharged ones on eBay. I know!!!! So many announcements from Nova and FA and HDZeta right now alone, let alone Blufans and the like! My wallet is crying. I've actually almost maxed at least two of my credit cards. I'm truly in for it and honestly hope to god that we don't get anymore crazy announcements until later on. They packaged the item very well! I think it's glue and I've felt the bulges and it seems like it could be glue. I'm just going to go ahead and take the wrapping off tonight to see if there are any dents or if it's all glue so I can let the seller know if there are any. You guys are super helpful!!

A couple more that arrived in the mail yesterday, just forgot to post them earlier. Better do it now since I might be getting more in the mail today (Friday) and tomorrow lol. Both are from eBay sales, got very good deals! The Woman steelbook (I'm guessing from Zavvi?) sealed and then a Resident Evil: The Final Chapter HDZeta steelbook sealed. The Resident Evil one is in absolute pristine condition, but for some reason The Woman looks REALLY beat up and dented on the back. I haven't even opened it or removed the stuff on the back and I can see at least 5-8 indentation marks on the back underneath the j card (am I using the phrase right? lol). I included a picture but I really need advice. I accept a couple of dents but I bought this brand new and it literally looks like someone pounded the back of it... Photo doesn't show ALL of the dents because the light reflects off of the wrapping, but I hope someone can see what I mean and advise me on whether I should bother the seller and/or keep it at all. I already left them a positive prior to noticing these dents but the dents are really throwing my OCD for a loop... Tags so I can get some second opinions on this dent thing (hopefully you guys can see it in the pic.. can try again later if you can't see any). Dents displayed in last pic @45Caliber @nefilim @extantsrevenge

It's one of those never watch again movies lol. Only reason I'm really not about seeing it again is the mutilation "She" does to herself at a point in Antichrist. I just thought this lenticular in particular was beautiful and one of a kind. Maybe one day I'll get through it again! But it's worth tracking down for sure. I think it was released by Nova? I found it by typing "antichrist lenticular" into eBay and made a best offer and got it. There's another one but it's $79.99 which is a little steep, especially for a non-steelbook. You'll find it in no time though I'm sure! You don't have to spoiler in here if you don't want to just so you know. If it weren't my thread I'd maybe be like "hey we're getting OT let's continue in another thread" or something but since it's mine I don't care Thankfully I was able to open this spoiler in a separate tab so I could read what you said! I wouldn't be surprised if the second volume is better though, truly. I also don't have a 4K tv yet but I probably won't be getting one any time soon because they hurt my eyes/head or something the few times I watched at a friend's house weirdly enough. I plan to rent GotG vol 2 from my local video store ASAP. Just depends on when it's returned inevitably lol. I'm the same way on slips, I actually bought Cinderella (2015) in person but ended up buying it on eBay again shortly after since the one I bought from Best Buy was 1) more expensive and 2) had no slip whatsoever. I still make sure to get my newer bluray buys in slips (if they come in one) but otherwise I'm a little more indifferent now that I'm focused on steelbooks. I already have one one click paid for and I feel the GotG vol 2 Blufans not far away if I fancy the movie enough once I watch it. And LOL! I have no clue what DMR is so I'm a dip lol. But WANT! How do you know?! Did you search it and then sort to "sold/completed"? Lol, I do the same a lot. I was willing to pay as high as maybe $650-$700 TOPS (only that high for brand new unopened ?) and ONLY for this specific movie as a steelbook but nobody is being even semi-realistic anymore. Only lead I had on here never went forward and then I saw that a brand new copy sold for almost $900 and here I was thinking that one listed at nearly a grand that wasn't a joke was ridiculous... But people are actually paying it. Which is fine! But I finally decided I'm desperate and as long as there's no chips/dents and such I'm good. And thankfully the opened copy I bought was completely mint (as you probably know lol) so I'm happy! Especially since honestly I'm good about keeping them closed unless I watch or I'm really excited, but this one would've been ripped open immediately so no loss here. They just opened it for me ? I love that it's a low odd number, though truthfully I would've taken anything. It's also nice to say that I have it as I'm becoming really addicted to FA for some reason! Just splurged on getting the John Wick FA box from FA direct and good lord their shipping is RIDICULOUS... Paid I think $50 or $71 just for that box alone. Wanted to get far more but the shipping just kept climbing ? I'll get Get Out, The Punisher, and Assassin's Creed eventually, I guess. I don't even know how you keep up though! So many movies, so many editions, so little time and only so much money! ?

Thank you so much!! And actually I FINALLY found it and nabbed it!! They're starting to go for crazier prices and I got lucky and found a mint opened one on eBay as well as got Don't Breathe Filmarena from them too! It'll be on its way soon I can't wait to have it in my hands!!! And I know everybody likes complete collections, I'm starting to get that way about Filmarena for some random reason haha. ? Lol thank you! I have too much passion for this hobby and I JUST got fully immersed into it only a few weeks ago. I still haven't watched GotG vol. 2 yet. It's gonna be a blind buy for me until I'm able to rent it. But I have the original Best Buy GotG vol. 1 still sealed but I want to match my Blufans GotG vol. 2 that I'm inevitably getting.... but also I can't justify the prices currently. Maybe in January I'll reconsider. I skipped Nova's release purely because I knew I wanted Blufans GotG vol. 2! As for feelers, I post here and on another site saying I'm searching (though I'm only active here to be honest) and usually people reach out to me. Or on Facebook I just join steelbook sale groups and watch posts that come in! I saw someone selling a BF GotG 1/4 slip I think and maybe a Groot and Rocket lenti as well but both prices were well over the eBay prices even so it was pointless lol. I just wanted to get the Disney steels of my favorite movies only! I won't get like say Pinocchio or Frozen, etc. I've gotten the majority of my favorites aside from maybe Maleficent, Aladdin, and Brother Bear. I own so many Disney blurays too lol... I just can't help it. I have a thing for getting blurays with slipcovers so that's another "problem" I have lol. And that's so cute!!!!

I'm in for this as well! Can't wait!!!

I'm absolutely in!!!!! Thank you so much @Scary Hair for the tag!

Aaaaand more! Cabin Fever from Zavvi while Mulan and Treasure Planet are both from a private sale on Facebook. Finally got both for very good prices instead of the crazy ones on eBay. Hopefully I'll find a mint Aladdin for a good price soon!

Thank you so much!! I have no chill... and a little too much spare change at the moment after the old house sold lol. I'm getting fairly down though so what's coming is probably what's left, aside from some extras from Masterblaster and then GB buys. And I'm the same way!!! I didn't even know a Hostel steelbook existed until I saw someone else's collection, and then found it while scoping out Zavvi's steelbooks. 90% of the buys in my latest haul and in general are from finding them in someone else's steelbook collection or "latest" steelbook thread and then I die inside. ? And today I got an eBay alert for "as above so below filmarena" and it was $299.00 brand new and I ran to eBay so fast ready to buy it now only to see it was the amaray I already have (and only paid about 75 pounds for) so I was over it lol. I actually got a few more steels in the mail today that I took pics of but forgot to send to myself, so you'll see more of my dum dum self not chilling in a few minutes here. ?

Another day another haul!! I still haven't taken pictures of the steelbooks from Utah but I'm being lazy lol (that and I think I'm gonna return a few due to quality of the steels and overexcited buys -- like why did I buy the Underworld pop art steels... they're so ugly and not even worth $9.99 a piece lol.. I'll hold out for a premium release and return these). I'll probably get to them eventually, but a pile of all of my new steels is growing! Now onto my haul! I'll actually do a short lil list of info this time. Antichrist Lenticular (just a simple little special edition, not a steelbook) is from a seller on eBay. The Hostel steelbook is from Zavvi. The Shallows Black Barons, Krampus Filmarena, The Huntsman: Winter's War Black Barons, and As Above So Below Filmarena amaray are all from @Zeefy! And last but not least, my beautiful Gone Girl Blufans lenti is from @PRIAPISM Maybe the AASB Filmarena amaray will fill the void of me not having my biggest hope and dream steelbook wise aka the AASB Filmarena steelbook until my lucky day comes (if it ever comes) where I get to own the steelbook, too! One of my favorite movies easily. Just rewatched it the other day. Really going to treasure this AASB amaray, not even sure I'll even bother opening it.. At least not until after I move early next year so it doesn't get damaged! I'm also glad to get the Black Barons copy of The Huntsman: Winter's War as I have the 4K version from Best Buy and I'm not a big fan of it. Might sell it now since I really like the Black Barons better and don't really need a duplicate there. Anyway I'm still VERY VERY excited and I still have SO many on the way... Keep hoping for more surprises, just very excited Zeefy's finally arrived as I just wanted to hold the AASB amaray so bad lol.

No worries I'm sure I'll have plenty more on the way anyway by the time it's fully implemented LOL

I was wondering the same because I definitely could've used it on my Kimchi Captain Americas or honestly any of the GBs I've had coming up for payment lol.

Thank you so much!! It means a lot to hear that I have PLENTY more on the way so I'll probably keep updating this as I go. Crazy to think how much my collection has expanded in the span of only maybe 2 weeks or so now! It's very nice to share finds with people who pop in and genuinely appreciate them! It's one thing I absolutely love about this hobby.

Okay I received these in the mail earlier today and just opened them a few hours ago! Both from sellers on eBay, one in the US (on the Lara Croft lenti combo pack) and the other from South Korea (the PA Blue is the Warmest Colour). Neither of them are steelbooks but they're special editions and I prefer to keep everything in one place

Thank you!! I honestly wasn't planning on getting Alien from Best Buy after the Mantalab pictures were released and I signed up for the one click on that GB. I even didn't plan to get the Filmarena one whatsoever until they showed pictures of the steel and eventually the editions and I gave in. Same happened with this one! I just really like the embryo sort of design for some reason and that it's unique. I don't know how the deal is going but if you check eBay there are some that are only like $5-$8 over the original price (shipping included in that overage). I almost went for one because I'm super lazy but opted against it and now I'm glad I did since Kong was there and all. Unless the cheaper copies have sold out now that collectors know it's out of stock at Best Buy and rushed to buy it like me lol. I'm triple dipping not even counting the plain bluray copy. But now I feel like an idiot because I didn't realize Target is doing a digibook and I just got a plain old slipcover copy at Best Buy today. A part of me is too lazy to bother returning it anyway haha. I hope you find a copy of the steelbook at a decent price though!!

Thank you all for such kind words!!! And MP DOES friggin rock. Can't imagine getting JW2 or Sucker Punch or Her or honestly ANY of the ones I got from John for even halfway decent prices anywhere else. It's all thanks to John! And I have so many in the mail from out of country that I'm dying while waiting for now lol. I went steelbook shopping big time at two Best Buys in Utah (which I visited last weekend) but I haven't gotten around to taking pictures of those because I'm lazy, so I'll take pictures of those probably tomorrow or Monday. But for now here's my haul from one of the Best Buys I visited locally this morning. I had to drive about 20 miles away to pick up the last available copy of the Alien: Covenant steelbook I had held as well as the Transformers steelbook I had held at another Best Buy as well. I couldn't believe it because I found the Kong: Skull Island steelbook at one of them!! I have been checking the Best Buy page for it religiously to see if any stores within 250 miles had it whatsoever, and I even checked while I was in Utah if anywhere there had it (they didn't). But I got very lucky and as I went to check out, it was just sitting there (only one left) in the new releases section in the front and I grabbed it so happily! No eBay prices for me!! All in all I'm very very happy because it seems both Alien: Covenant and Kong: Skull Island went out pretty fast. And I got some bargains on some of them too! ?

Thank you so much!!! ? I know exactly how I top it lol... I have two other massive grails and one I'm for sure getting from Masterblaster and another is... going to empty my pockets a bit I'm sure but if I can get my hands on it it'll be worth it and I'll probably be screaming about it in here lol. And I know what you mean!! I already messaged him about a few more I became interested in and of course he had them ? I'm kicking myself though because I stupidly bought Resident Evil: The Final Chapter HDZeta from eBay instead of asking John first. Could've gotten matching numbers for Passengers and Resident Evil if I knew ? And more money is surely going out the window VERY soon from me to him lol. Stay strong!!! And don't be my dumb self lol

I waited anxiously by the door today to ensure the mailman didn't try to run off without ringing the doorbell lol... And I finally got my most anticipated package from Mr @Masterblaster himself! @PRIAPISM @45Caliber @extantsrevenge and if I forgot anyone I'm so sorry! My ultimate grail aka Sucker Punch boxset is officially mine along with many others I badly wanted to get my hands on The one that surprised me the most is the Cinderella Kimchidvd lenti.. the lenti is SO pretty and SO cool! I still can barely handle myself and I probably won't shut up about this one for awhile!! I love this site!!! And I included my new fancy MP card in my last Sucker Punch boxset picture ?

You have pretty much everything ever and it's a big reason why I bother asking you first lol. I may update my wish list/looking for list frequently but part of me is always like "please let Masterblaster have it ?" (also will I ever call you John? Probably not considering I love saying "Masterblaster" out loud lol) I get TOO wound up... I no joke cancelled an appointment for today purely because I knew my package from you with signature confirmation was coming and I didn't want to miss it LOL MP started this craze for me!! Amazon... is my worst nightmare lol. Got a brand new CD that came cracked recently. I'm an Amazon Prime member but I get nervous about the steelbooks. They have some Disney ones pretty cheap but I worry about packaging. That's terrible that people try to sell it as new when it's not!! And Best Buy IS a gamble. That's why my desperate self will be driving 20 miles to pick up the Alien: Covenant bluray steelbook along with the Transformers steelbook probably this Saturday lol. I already have them both on hold for me. I have a problem! Hahaha. And yeah I've heard that too, that's why I'm really glad I haven't gotten many damaged items or ill fitting items either. Very true!!! I'd buy more too but I have limits and those limits are my credit card limits ?? Nah but I've gotten most of my most wanted, only really finding a few more and participating in GBs but otherwise I'm probably tapped out until Christmas time or January And thank you!! Everybody saying I'm wound up I'm glad you can tell my excitement because I really am just like !!!!! 90% of the time about everything. ? Thank you so much!! ? I'm in love with this hobby as of late, I'm pretty much consumed. And now that you mention it!!! I'm going to make a separate post so the people I tag don't have to wade through this one

I know I know, it's totally my fault lol. But the Jurassic Parks from Filmarena were calling my name..... And I gave in LOL. In all honesty 90% of the time I just feel like pming you and just being like "do you have this? you do? of course you do. great, I'll take it. add it to the list and let's do this" lol. And I can't wait! Sleep well by the way!

Really? I've gotten VERY lucky... Three out of the four I posted in the prior pic to the one above were from one (actually REASONABLE) seller on eBay. They bubblewrapped the life out of them and they were super awesome. Awesome enough that when I get money again later this week or early next week I'll probably buy a couple more from them. I have tons more on the way, I had to feed some scalpers their overpriced prices because I was desperate to get some newly found grails. I'm really hoping nothing comes messed up. I trust Mr. @Masterblaster with my items, it's a big reason why I took comfort in blowing nearly a grand with him this past week lmao... No judgement lol.... And he has more on hold for me that we're gonna sort out after he deals with forum software stuff I'll have to tag you when I get my shipment tomorrow, I already promised PRIAPISM that I'd tag him. I have some crazy grails on the way from another country too and I didn't have to spend a fortune... I have good karma on my side lately lol!

More arrivals in the mail!! Lilo and Stitch Zavvi Lenti, Tarzan Zavvi, and Lady and The Tramp Zavvi! I'm dying inside though because tomorrow my package from Masterblaster should be arriving!! ?
