I tidied up the interior of my Saving Private Ryan this morning. Here are the results.
If you go back a couple of pages you can see my revised Battlestar Galactica: The Plan interior.

(This is a work in progress)

The production notes booklet was from my Korean digibook DVD, I trimmed it down to fit in the Steelbook.

^ Avatar IronPack looks really nice! I love the back art! Did you, by any chance, get an extra copy?

Good job on your Saving Private Ryan interior. I haven't opened mine yet but I will definitely make some inside art for it. I have yet to find the image I'd want to use though.

Blu-devil · « **Reply #393 on:** Jun 28, 2010 at 02:13 PM »

That was the only copy in store. It wasn't meant to be there, it's the Chinese version afterall and not the local HK version. There were piles of the HK version, but they were very expensive. I paid the equivalent of 1000PhP for the Chinese one. It was a pricing error, seeing as the HK was equivalent to 2000PhP.

^ You got it for a good price then... it turns out that losing the copy from amz cn is a blessing in disguise.

My Wolfman steel replacement arrived today. I have made an alternate interior art for it.

For all you guys that missed out on the Best Buy Steelbook (G1) of Hurt Locker. Check this out.
http://tinman.co.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=review&wr_id=572
I ordered mine 3 weeks ago and I am so glad I did. It looks fooking awesome and its (G2) Blu-ray sized.
If you want it I would hurry, not sure how long there will be stock as everyone is rushing toward it now they know its's BD sized and NOT a sticker book.

coffeetiger · « **Reply #396 on:** Jun 30, 2010 at 03:01 PM »

^ So it's confirmed G2 and printed (as opposed to sticker)? If so, then that's good news!

Blu-devil · « **Reply #397 on:** Jul 01, 2010 at 09:15 PM »

^ went OOS pretty fast. i hope price would still be EUR 13.99 when they become available again. Interested in Transformers, War of the Worlds, and Collateral.

i just saw over a hundred steelbooks from sellers in amazon new and used. Ive begun to like these steelbooks although they are not so budget friendly. I have gotten a few titles from coffeetiger a few months back already. This thread started it for me actually, admiring the examples shown. I hope the collectors here grow in numbers and be able to share more of what they find and where to find. Cheers!

coffeetiger · « **Reply #400 on:** Jul 01, 2010 at 11:44 PM »

^ welcome to the club sir mandy! very addicting, yes, and it will indeed drill a hole in your wallet but it's well worth it. SteelBooks look absolutely beautiful!

More to come! And we hope to see more of your collection in the future.

This came in today:

Fight Club SteelBook (Germany)

I couldn't resist... case looks really nice so bought it even if it's locked to B. Luckily, I also have the region A version so I'll just swap discs.

I always thought the Book of Eli (Germany) was gonna be my first horizontal steel... I guess not.

Blu-devil · « **Reply #402 on:** Jul 02, 2010 at 12:20 PM »

I did the same thing with my Fight Club.

Will do the same to my Leon next week.

coffeetiger · « **Reply #403 on:** Jul 04, 2010 at 07:22 PM »

^ Oh no... another one of those with blank interiors?? i didn't know...

Oh well... guess I'll just have to find an appropriate art work for the interior...

Blu-devil · « **Reply #404 on:** Jul 05, 2010 at 09:18 AM »

go to google images and enter Fight Club. You'll have literally thousands of pics to choose from.

Mostly online stores like Amazon (Germany is the best in Steelbooks), Play (lots of lenticulars), HMV, and of course... eBay

And let's not forget our favorite exclusive Canadian stores

Would love to get the lenticulars from Play but unfortunately, they do not ship outside Europe. They do not accept local issue CCs as well. $:-\$

Favorite Canadian stores... with shipping by everyone's favorite post office... Canada Post!

Amazon and HMV does.

For ebay, look for a seller that does international shipping.

My inside art for The Hurt Locker BB G1-sized steel:

RNIverson · « **Reply #413 on:** Jul 05, 2010 at 05:54 PM »

Haven't had the time to read your procedures for this, but since you're able to change the inside artwork, I assume you can change the disc plastic holder also? Thinking of changing a 1-disc steelbook to 3-discs... possible?

Yes, I believe it's possible.

I received my Hurt Locker SteelBook Korea today.

It is G2-sized (blu-ray size) and has printed art work, not stickerbook as it was earlier thought to be.

RNIverson · « **Reply #416 on:** Jul 06, 2010 at 10:46 AM »

Watched my Once Blu-ray+OST last night, and someone needs to check its English subtitles, not that it ruins the movie though. I hope not all korean releases are like this...

coffeetiger · « **Reply #417 on:** Jul 06, 2010 at 05:55 PM »

Got these today as well:

Watchmen SteelBook (Futureshop)

Kill Bill 1 & 2 Lenticular slipcases (Canada Exclusive)

The lenticular slips were packed together with my Watchmen steelbook. The Kill Bill BDs were packed in a separate box so what I have as of now are just the slips.

Blu-devil · « **Reply #418 on:** Jul 06, 2010 at 06:14 PM »

Got this today, delivered by LBC. The thing is I paid for standard shipping and got a free upgrade.

RNIverson · « **Reply #419 on:** Jul 07, 2010 at 09:06 AM »

Which is a more kick-ass SteelBook?

UK

Germany
