Sorry to know about what had happened for not one but two steelbooks. 

Thanks but it's fine. I'm willing to settle for the normal cased Amaray ones (as long as it's R1). ;D

Nice scores Ms Coffeetiger!!!  Congrats!!!

Ayan na P.O. mo ms Wine!!!  Post pics ha!!!

thanks jonjon! :)

Sis wine... sana nakuha mo na yung steels mo sa PO. ;)






First North American Released Star Metalpak





Nice one sir xage! So meron na rin pala Metalpak sa North America ngayon.  I suppose that's a good collectible since it's the first of its kind there... and Frank Frazetta pa.. galing!  I like Frazetta's art.  8)

^ I just unsealed them and too bad that the Bourne collection has 2 big dings on it.  :'(

Sin City is still sealed; all the steels that I bought from Dowals are really dent/s free.  ;D

ouch!  so sorry to hear about the Bourne Collection.. don't you just hate it when that happens... but maybe you can email amazon uk and ask for a replacement?  Nowadays, I'm not sure if they require you to return the damaged item but in the past, if you're an international buyer, they usually don't.  It won't hurt if you try though.  ;)

I ordered Push SteelBook from EthaiCD - well it was what was stated there anyway.

I got it today, and it is NOT a steelbook.  It's a MetalPak.  Darn.  Anyway, it's in perfect condition and at $17.50 shipped, it looks okay naman.  :)

What's the difference between a MetalPak and a SteelBook again?

What's the difference between a MetalPak and a SteelBook again?

MetalPak is manufactured by Star MetalPak
SteelBook is manufactured by Scanavo

Main big difference is in the spine.

I've included pics for comparison of the spine as well as exterior and interior of metalpak vs. steelbook:



MetalPak spine - exterior


SteelBook spine - exterior


MetalPak - interior


SteelBook - interior


Most collectors prefer the SteelBook to the MetalPak because it is sturdier and has a much more classy look.

No prob. :)

I agree.  I prefer steelbooks as well. kaya nga medyo nakakainis pag naka-advertise sa site na steelbook but upon receiving it, ay.. metalpak pala.   ::)
