That one was easy.

Next one should be easy too.

 

No clue.

Skyfall 

That answer is correct.  Nice job as usual @R1s1ngs0n!

Casino Royale? 

Not Casino Royale.

2 Shout Factory 4k steelbook arrivals displayed next to the bluray steelbooks, also from Shout Factory.  When everyone else decides to use lazy artwork or actually uses the same steelbook for the Bluray and 4k releases, Shout Factory instead decides to stand out with their incredible unique artwork for each release.  Nothing lazy about these releases.  Pure awesomeness!

That's the one.

Excellent!  Next one ...

For Challenge 4:

1. Helicopter

2. Jet

3. Spinner

4. Boat 

5. Motorcycle

Was surprised see that my all time favorite steelbook Goldeneye actually has 5 vehicles on it alone that I could have picked from.  Excellent idea @raylight.  Once again excited to see all the other entries.

Goldfinger?

Well from the MRI the first pop in my knee was a complete tear of my acl 😢,  the second pop was a lateral meniscus tear, and just for kicks I also have a grade 2 mcl injury.  In other words I totally destroyed my knee 😞

That's annoying. They should have released it in 4k to start with.

Agree, cash grab by Paramount, and lazy to release the same art as the Bluray steelbook.  

Here is my submission for the Blufans Treasure Hunter award.  I didn't add in the duplicate steelbooks to the picture, but I did take an extra picture of those and could post it if necessary, 26 editions in all, as of now.

I'm curious to hear from you Bond collectors.  What editions do you think are the best out there?  I have all the original DVDs from waaaayyyyy back in three boxes.  But I haven't kept track of any special editions that have come out in the last 15 years.  Is this release as good as it gets for Bond?

Here are nearly all the official Bond steelbooks released (other than the new ones just released and some unusual dvd steelbooks from overseas in a different language that I have seen before):

1st and 2nd  picture

-Top row: 2008-2009 Best Buy Bluray steelbooks

-2nd row: 2015 Best Buy bluray themed steelbooks

-3rd: 2015 Goldfinger European steelbook, 2021 Goldfinger Zavvi steelbook, 2012 Goldeneye Play.com steelbook, 2010 Casino Royale German steelbook, 2013 Skyfall UK steelbook, 2016 Blufans spectre lenticular, 2016 Kimchidvd Spectre full slip, 2022 No Time to Die Taiwan full slip and steelbook next to it

-4th row: 2020 UK and Best Buy 4K Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, and Spectre steelbooks (Best Buy are full gloss, UK matte)

3rd and 4th picture

Top row: 2021 No Time to Die Walmart special edition amaray with box and Safin mask keychain, No Time to Die other Taiwan full slip with steelbook below it, Titans of Cult Casino Royale with steelbook below it, 2015 Best Buy The Daniel Craig collection steelbook

2nd row:  2021 No Time to Die Target special edition fullslip amaray, rest in that and next row are parts of the printing ones listed

My favorites are the Play.com Goldeneye steelbook, the Blufans Spectre lenticular edition, and the 2015 European Goldfinger one that has the whole steelbook in gold and the title embossed (unfortunately the back is the exact same artwork).  As stated the customs from @R1s1ngs0n are the best hands down and blow all of the economy ones away, except Goldeneye because that is one of my all time favorite steelbooks 😎

Same here

Actually probably won't be able to post until after work, but then will show you the vast array.  If you are a Bond fan consider joining @R1s1ngs0n club for Bond fans "Shaken, Not Stirred", if you haven't already.

You have come to the right place.  I have almost all the Bond steelbooks, and posted them all in another thread.  Let me grab those pictures and let you see some of the wonderful releases out there. Unfortunately, some of them are duds.

I told my wife to at least let me write my will before she kills me for LOTR. 

 

Yeah I am trying to come up with an explanation for this month's credit card bill that won't get me kicked out of the bedroom.  It's not going to go well.  Never dreamed 2 WeET releases would get billed so close to LOTR.

This month stretch might be my worst expense ever for this collection adding in other things.  Two WeET OCs, probably two CM releases, at least one Manta release, the LOTR HDZ, probably other group buys I am forgetting, all the new Bonds from DVDstore.it, an MRI of my knee, and hopefully not knee surgery.  What an absolute crazy month stretch.

Most of these Bond steelbooks are pretty sh*t for an anniversary release.

 

I would've rather had EverythingBlu (who are doing First Blood) or Plaion Pictures (who did Cyborg) doing something special for these.

Yeah agree, feel they could make some awesome slips.  There is so much great artwork out there.  All these steelbooks and this slip only focus on the opening credits.  Hopefully MGM gets this out of their system, as now "almost" all of those opening credit steelbooks have been made.  Would like to see some poster artwork on 4K steelbook releases whenever they get released, but I know I am just dreaming.

Just shipped from Zavvi.  Although steelbook does look beyond lame, stoked for the slip and the extras.

Just dispatched from Zavvi, excited for this one to arrive.  Anticipate we will be seeing some live shots soon from others.

All I can say is how in the heck did you know that!  And I am beyond impressed.

Truly no idea. The busy nature of the set design makes me think it’s pre-90’s… 

 

I’m going to toss a guess out there. For Your Eyes Only
