Basically the title, a lot of people I talk to in the steelbook community seem to despite lenticular steels.

 

Other that it sometimes making the art look unclear but that’s the fault of the company for doing a bad job with it, doesn’t make lentis bad.

 

Is there another reason that I seem to be missing?

For me, it comes down to quality. I find that most lentis are blurry and low quality and often times the effect adds nothing to the art (a slight head tilt for example). There are some fantastic lentis out there with tons of clarity and interesting effects, but they are by far the minority. Full slips are just a safer bet in general since their floor is more acceptable to me - you know what you're going to get at least.

I also find that I enjoy the top-end full slips more than the top-end lenticulars as well. Really high end full slips with great texture, holofoil elements, and great art are just nicer to me than a really clear lenticular with solid depth.

@Wtd May I get a feedback for the Wim Wender holofoil card?

How do you find the gold girding frame along the border of the card?

I really loved it. It looks fantastic and I love the embossing. Very nice quality!

This is one of my favorite releases in the collection. Absolutely stunning. Thanks for making this possible MP!

Yeah I guess only time will tell. I’m hoping I can at the very least retain my gold membership but who knows

As someone who missed on membership by a few weeks last year and has been looking forward to the opportunity to officially join the psychos, I'm hoping I can get gold this year. Good luck Shali!

It pretty much had everything...except the main character 🤣.

 

I'm just considering it Episode 0.5 of The Mandalorian Season 3. We now have a good idea as to where it will go following season 2 and I'm very happy with it. I loved seeing the Naboo Starfighter and my heart stopped a bit when we first saw the BD unit. I thought it was actually BD-1. I'd love to see Cal Kestis in live action.

 

It might be BD-1, different paint job but it had the same limp. Cal showing up in live action would be super cool.

We’ve talked offline about this show but you know where I stand, the show has had serious flaws in its pacing, presentation, and storytelling. It took 4 episodes to get to any kind of motivation for the main character, yada-yada’d about 5 years of history, and spent an entire episode (and the longest one at that) without the titular character. I’m going to watch it because I watch all of the Star Wars stuff, but this is one of the weaker entries in a while and probably about as bad as the last sequel film if we’re being honest.

@Wtd you are short 4 Editions 😅. Need 40 for the first stage.

 

If you don't have any additional right now I'm sure you will have some more soon. You can still use these photos then.

I have a few more amarays but I’m short by 2 editions 😓. I completely misread the requirements too (thought the 40 was a second tier). Whoops. 
 

NWH and Eternals are already preordered so I’ll have it soon, but they haven’t arrived yet.

Finally getting around to taking some pictures for awards. For your consideration, my modest Filmarena collection as of today.

Thanks @extantsrevenge!

I think my collection of steelbooks is over 350 now. Here are some pics to meet the threshold:

Some MCU steelbooks (30 regular steelbooks):

And some Disney steelbooks (70 regular steelbooks):

For a total of 100. Thanks again for organizing these @extantsrevenge!

Finally getting around to taking some pictures for awards. For your consideration, my MCU collection as of today.

First, the mondo steelbooks:

Next, the regular steelbooks; and the first avenger mondo I forgot to remove from this group 😬:

Finally, the premium slips:

And, just for fun, some statues:

Thanks @extantsrevenge!

I know Shaliber and I can confirm he will cry.

Very excited to receive this in May, 2026.

WEA 😎

Agreed. Sign me up for The Princess Bride UHD. It definitely deserves a premium release.

Alright, took me a while to get them off the shelves (not pictured - my Disney and MCU full slips), but this should do it.

When is Kimchi gonna announce something new tho

For real, other than the Jackie Brown 1/4 slip re-release... it's been radio silence from Kimchi for months. Very sad.

Welcome! I too, am very excited for the Wim Wenders WCL edition, hope you're able to grab one!

Congrats @Wtd on your pick-ups! 

 

Did you get your Dune copy from DiabolikDVD? 🤔…

 

I wish I would have gone with them, I’d already have my copy by now!! 

I did indeed get it from DiabolikDVD. It's a very nice release, surprisingly thick. Can't wait to crack it open before the new Dune hits theaters!

Some more weekend pickups. A few premiums (FAC Arrival, Nova Gangs of New York) and the Deluxe Limited Edition Dune steelbook from Arrow.

They might not 😂 

 

Apparently they do (http://www.diskinomedia.com) but they don't have e-commerce as far as I can tell.
