^ YGPM sir jonjon.

Have you come across a Spanish steel of Hurt Locker?  I know you prefer the Spanish releases eh... hehe.  Been searching for one but couldn't find any...  :-\

Di pa rin ako nakakaencounter e...Mahirap talaga pag sa spain galing...the shipping is quite high...i have another set of 4 dvd steelbooks coming from spain, mabigat lang talaga shipping...it cost me 30 euros...kaya lang, tempting talaga yung mga titles, kaya grinab ko na...will let you know as soon as i see one...sa dvdgo, madami naka markdown na steels, kaya lang 30 euros din ang shipping...kaya i advise na if ever you will buy from them, purchase ka na ng apat...kasi, upto 4 dvds ang 30 euros shipping... ;D

Nope Ma'am.  Got them sa ebay din.  Seller was from Spain.  Kaya 30euros din paship nito... :'(  Natempt ako e, kasi nga yung complete trilogy and anthology na.  Sad part was, it turned out to be metalpak, and not steelbook... :'(

here's the pics...

group shot...

which of the four do you think is the metalpak and the steelbook?

Mission impossible, La Coleccion Directiva  (eto lang ang steelbook...)


X-Trilogia (metalpak)


Jungla De Cristal La saga completa) Die Hard Anthology (metalpak)


and lastly, Titanic, dagdag sa Oscar winner collection ko (metalpak)


Thanks for looking!!!

Nyak!  False advertisement ang ginawa ng seller!  Kaasar sya ha.. >:(   O talaga lang di nya alam ang binebenta nya... tsk.   Anyway, I hope you got them for a reasonable price and not for a steelbook price.  Mukhang sulit naman sa shipping...

Judging from the pics, maganda naman ang itsura ng metalpaks.  sila nga yung clear at vibrant ang color/print.   ;)  The Mission Impossible Trilogy has a washed out faded look (o nasa angle lang ng camera?).  These are still good additions to your growing steel collection sir jonjon!  8)

Sulit naman kuha ko ma'am...the only flaw was that puro single disc lang yung mga trilogy and anthology...buti na lang me mga naka amaray ako ng mga ito na double discs... ;D  saka maganda na din naman yung metalpak na nakuha ko, kasi pag sa malayo mo titignan, mukhang mga steelbook na din... ;)

well that's good, you can make a hybrid. put the 2-discs from the amaray inside the metalpaks. hehehe.  Wait, you mean single disc lang yung trilogy and anthology, like three movies in one disc?

Also, I think it's hard to distinguish a metalpak from a steelbook if you're going to look at it from the front lang. Sa spine mo kasi talaga mahahalata ang difference kung sa picture.  ;D

No ma'am, what I mean is, 1 disc sya per movie...Gusto ko sana e per movie e yung double disc...I agree with you on the appearance of the metalpaks...At least yung nakuha ko metalpaks from Spain e iba kesa sa metalpaks from germany...ne me RCV logo sa harap, kaya alam mo agad na metalpak... ;D

Ah I see.. akala ko three movies in one disc.. parang super compressed yata yun!  LOL  Yes, I completely forgot about that RCV logo.  It's how you can tell metalpak from a steelbook nga pala, although not all metalpaks have that logo, like the ones you have.   ;)


I received my Astro Boy China IronPack today.  This is my first ever IronPack.  Mas maganda nga ang steelbook, pero ok na rin naman ang IronPack.  Given a choice though, I'd still go for a steelbook.  ;)


Astro Boy IronPack (China)




What you see in the back is just a paper with info.  The printed back art looks like this (pic is by blu-ray.com member wxlinkswd):




Btw, this release does not have English audio or subs.  I'm still waiting for my Astro Boy U.S. BD so I can replace the disc with an English one.

;D

Thanks!  ;D    Iba pa ang MetalPak.  According to collectors, ganito ang heirarchy:

SteelBook > IronPack > MetalPak

;D


IronPack™ is similar to SteelBook minus the inner spine plasticholder & trademark logo.

The most visible difference is, again, in the spine.  Notice the spine of astro boy ironpack:



and compare it with the spine of the patriot steelbook:



The IronPack is the cheaper option to a steelbook.  The quality of the SteelBook is superior to that of the IronPack.

Check this out for more comparisons on spine and inside of IronPack™ vs. SteelBook™

Hindi ko pa napapanood yung movie, but I saw the trailer in theaters 2 weeks ago yata.  It doesn't look good.  LOL  But I'll let you know kung sakali.   ;D

@alihug, blu-ray po ba yung Troy nyo?  I see 1080p in front.  SteelBook po ba or Metalpak?

Speaking of kung saan nagsimula.. what's your first steelbook sir jonjon?  san nyo nabili ang paano kayo nag start sa addiction?  also, dahil 60 steels na kayo, palitan nyo na yung quote nyo under your avatar!!!  41 steels pa yan... panis na yan!  60 steels and counting na dapat yan!   :D

That Troy is a pirated Metalpak.  It's carries a Bluray logo (flash area) on top.  Daming pirated metalpaks around, That's why it's not as desirable to collectors.  Not to mention, that it is not allowed in PinoyDVD.

______________

On another front, why is the LOTR Steelbook that comes from Best Buy (preorders) called a Steelbook (Other than it is designed by Steelbook creators), it's more plastic than steel...

Pangit daw kasi pakinggan pag PlastikBook.   ;D    Seriously though, I also do not like these jumbo steels.  Masyado makapal yung plastic... But I did see the LOTR Futureshop, it looks nice, mainly because of the embossed front.  Even if it is a jumbo steel and probably has more plastic than steel, it still looks classy.

Wala po akong alam na brick and mortar store sa HK.  I buy most of my steels from online stores like amazon and hmv.  For HK movies, I buy from yesasia and sometimes they sell steelbooks and IronPacks too, like the upcoming Hurt Locker BD steel from Korea.  You can try searching for steelbooks at yesasia.com.  HK-based sila so shipping shouldn't be too expensive if you're based there.  :)




Got this today in the mail:

The Wolfman UK SteelBook (Theatrical and Director's Cut)
