Thanks to all for keeping the other so prosperous, fun to read and be a part of. Who knows maybe all our talk has kicked "SteelBook" into high gear and we will see more and more in every format!!

On my way from Michigan to Massachusetts for a work trip, we cut through Canada, and of course I had to make my first ever stop at a Future Shop store. It was a little underwhelming, as things weren't very well organized and it reminded me of a poor Circuit City store. I guess I was expecting more, considering how cool the name is.
Picked up copies of "Bee Movie" and "Ocean's Thirteen" Steelbooks while I was there though. Very seriously thought about "Ratatouille" too as that's one of my major wants, but I already own the regular DVD, and couldn't justify $28.99 + crazy Canadian taxes on a double dip. I'm happy with my purchase, although a couple of the plastic tabs on the circle that holds the discs in on "Bee Movie" were broken off somehow. Oh well.

We have a minivan full of video camera equipment, and were nervous that they were going to try and switch us, so I was trying to be as non-confrontational as possible. We're heading back tomorrow, and going through Canada again... Any tips?

The tax rebate for non-residents has been eliminated as of April 1, 2007, unless it's for business purposes.
They lowered the tax rate for us from 7% to 5% so I guess they figured they could recoup some of that by not refunding it to tourists.

We once got ding big time from a trip from Washington state and I was dismayed they charged tax ontop of the taxes we already paid down there.. Something about they tax the entire amount it costed you to bring the item back into Canada.. If I got something shipped to my box down there, they suppose to include shipping when they calculate the taxes.. I did some research at the time (don't know if it's valid now) and apparently I could claim the WA state taxes if I resided in a province/state that didn't have provincial/state taxes (ie Alberta/Oregon)..
Onto steelbook news, db27 has posted (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showpost.php?p=8590860&postcount=78) he got their copies of Sweeney Todd and they will have the cover with the close up on Johnny Deep's face..

$24.99. I bit more than I wanted to pay.. The poster mention there'll be a MIR, so that'll knock it down a bit, maybe $5?

Here's a picture of my Steelbook collection so far. Soon to be added is "Sweeney Todd" and "Cloverfield" when they are released, and I have "X2: X-Men United" and "The Day After Tomorrow" on order.
I'm not a guy who is in search of all Steelbooks, like howwon, because that would drive me crazy and cost way too much. I'm only in search of ones for movies that I like, or at least don't hate and am interested in. Thankfully, I've gotten good deals, too. The most I paid for any of them was about $35 shipped for "X-Men: The Last Stand" and that's about the most I'd pay for any others.
Haha, damn, you had to come through and take all the attention away from my post, right after me.
That's an incredible price though, probably the only person here who's gotten a better deal than me, post-buying it retail, I'd imagine. Where are you from?
howwon
03-28-08, 07:33 PM
look what I found at a local dvd shop...and look at the price I got it for :)
I see a eBay listing for X-Men 3 coming up soon. :D
I can trade Jungle Book and Ratatouille for Sweeney Todd and Cloverfield.
Both are new and sealed. Prestine condition and I can ship tonight, if you let me know ASAP.
Steelbooks will be bubble wrapped and shipped in a cardboard box to prevent any shipping damage.
Send me a PM if you are interested.

Nice pics Kory.. I'm about the same.. I won't go out of my way to get a steelbook for a movie I have no interest in seeing.. But it might push me to get a movie I'm on the fence about.. I need to get my collection together and get some pics oneday..
Nice score junyab.. Was it sealed with the comic book? I can't remember how wide spread the problem was, but when I got mine, there was a large "S" shaped scratch to the back.. I think someone from steelbook(tm) said it was a replicator problem, but I'm not sure how many X-men 3 steelbook were affected..

Looks like the fad for X3 fades slowly now as the crown jewel of the steelbook collectibility world and just turn into a norma one.
As more & more members (Canadians?) shows up obtaining and showing up X3 steelbook of their own and letting all know that its not just ebay or amazon you can get one.
howwon

I'm curious. How many people here own the X-Men 3 Steelbook?
xage
03-28-08, 11:04 PM
Here are what I was able to gather... Big numbers within the thread for owners of X3 steelbook
I think that The Chronicles of Narnia could be grouped in with the following:
Ice Age 2: The Meltdown
The Little Mermaid
V for Vendetta
The Chronicles of Narnia has come up for auction three times. The last time, it sold within minutes of its listing, for $129.99.
The Little Mermaid has come up for auction once, that I know of, and it sold in the $200+ range.
Ice Age 2: The Meltdown sold in the last auction for $104.19
V for Vendetta has come up for auction a few times. The last time it sold for $202.19
X-Men 3: The Last Stand recently sold for $250.01.
I think that X-Men 3 is still sought after, as xage last post shows that, of all of the people that have posted here, only seven people have posted confirmation of ownership. Other people on other Steelbook forums are also searching for the X-Men 3 Steelbook. V For Vendetta appears to be a close second.
junyab, you can try WD-40 to remove the price sticker. Use a soft clean cloth to gently rub off the sticker. Once the sticker is removed, you will still have to remove the WD-40 residue. Warm soap and water should work.
xage
03-29-08, 12:19 AM
Thats a very interesting ebay watching on the market price. I might check it out as well..
anyways.. on the other side of steelbook collection
Do anyone of you here havent noticed the "weight"? mine is around 32 steelbooks only but its HEAVY!
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b221/xage00/XAGE2_steel.jpg
Approximate weight of 20lbs! total
I have it placed at the bottom of one of my DVD shelves... How do you store yours?

unfortunately nope, no comic attached...but luckily no scratches where the "s" shaped glue was...

will remember that trick...this time the sticker came off easily and didn't leave any residue behind...I usually use Goo Gone which also works like a charm!
I've owned the Narnia and Ice Age 2 Steelies...times got tough a couple of months ago (meaning there were too many new releases coming out for me to afford) so I sold most of my rarer ones on Ebay...got $80 for Ice Age and $125 for Narnia
I'd still think X3 is the rarest as it was the 1st steelbook released in North America (I think)...and with the comic book problem and only 1-disc f up...I think a lot of the stock was taken off the shelf and destroyed (so a Future Shop employee told me)...it may not seem so rare here, but Id still bet it has the lowest #'s
Cars, Little Mermaid & Ice Age were most likely bought by nice mommies who don't visit the internet DVD forums very often :)
howwon
03-29-08, 01:43 AM
I'd still think X3 is the rarest as it was the 1st steelbook released in North America (I think)...
X-Men 3 was released on October 3, 2006.
The first R1 Steelbook was Appleseed and it was released on May 10, 2005.

Kory
03-29-08, 03:24 PM
PMed you, howwon.
Also, I forgot that there are a couple non-R1 Steelbooks I'm interested in.
-"12 Monkeys"
-"Smokin' Aces"
-"Batman Begins" (I heard there are two versions, one that's entirely English, one that's not... I'd prefer the English one)
-"Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer" (I've seen pictures of this one on eBay... it's the black cover with the Silver Surfer on it that was on our standard 2-disc release)
-"Transformers" 2-sided edition
Johnsun: That's so weird to read that, I thought the guy I bought mine from was just an idiot, but I have that same "S" problem. It's not terrible and at the right angle, you can't even see it, but it's there. I'm now wondering if there's some way to maybe buff that out or fill it in. Any ideas?

6. X-Men 3: The Last Stand - October 3, 2006
7. Cars - November 7, 2006
8. The Da Vinci Code - November 14, 2006
9. Superman Returns - November 28, 2006
10. Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest - December 5, 2006
Canada Russia 72' and Superman Returns are still available from Future Shop.

Also i acquired some new steelbooks recently. Just yesterday i was at futureshop and i stumbled onto the Jungle Book steelbook! it was near the cash and just all alone and lonely. I just had to buy it! Anyone know how rare it is?
I also got me Ong Bak and Hannibal steelbooks. they were in the two for 20$ section at futureshop! I had Ong Bak before but my ex kept it after our break up and since it was only 10$ i'd figure i'd re-buy it heh. And as for Hannibal i remember not being TOO crazy about the movie but 10$ for a steelbook? Why not!
And i also got the I Am Legend, Bee Movie,Beowulf steelbooks.

Been following this thread for a few months and I'm very impressed by people's collections. Here are some pictures of my mine:
R1 Steelbooks (except for 'silent Hill' which was in the pic by mistake)

Only one missing from these pics is Boondock Saints which I was able to pick up yesterday.
I was lucky to stumble onto the novelty of Steelbooks when they were first being released in Canada (hence the copies of Narnia, X3, Underworld and POTC2). I would never have thought that they would be so valued years later.

**EDIT** guys, The Quiet Earth is listed and has always been listed. it is even in the old thread. am i wrong?
lol scott yesh it is in the old thread. but its under "The Quiet Earth", as opposed to "Quiet Earth, The". maybe thats where some of the confusion occurred meh.

Question: Why is the X3 steelbook so rare ? ... I remember that when I went to Futureshop on release week, there were many copies. even 3-4 weeks later, there will still many shelves stacked with them at various stores.
I think it was due to the fact that they were trying to charge 29.99 for a one-disc movie whereas the regular edition was almost $10 cheaper (for the same disc). If I wasn't a collector, I would have most likely skipped the steelbook.

no I reserved it a few weeks ago at FYE. There was probably 2-3 on the shelf. Still some Beowulf. So I'm guessing it's rarer.

I picked up my copy and a copy for a couple other people today that I had reserved, so three total. They only had one on the shelf, and a handful behind the counter. I assume they must have had more somewhere, but maybe not.
The back of the case and the inside are both really cool. They make up for the mediocre front cover. The discs are gray though... :(

I reserved mine on a whim since I was able to pick up the Transformers and Beowulf steelbooks without a reserve (granted I got the very last Transformers steelbook that day and it was only about 12:15pm).
When I got to FYE to pick up my reserved Sweeney Todd, they had nothing left on the shelves. The lady who helped me said they flew out of the store faster than any of the others that she could recall.
is this the bestbuy steelbook says it comes with bonus disc and i thought the steelbook was the only one with a bonus discThat is not the correct version. It should be this version of which is $24.99 (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8210722&type=product&id=1615921).

Wouldn't it be interesting if Golden Compass was released as a Steelbook.
Double bonus if it was released in a horizontal layout like in Spain.

A lot of people have been asking about my X-Men: The Last Stand Steelbook. I've been wrestling with myself on if I should sell it. It would be awesome to have some Paypal funds to help me with other DVD needs, but at the same time I'm starting to catch the Steelbook "bug" a little myself as I just got the Dragonball Z: History of Trunks Steelbook yesterday, so it's starting to feel like the beggining of a collection...lol. I have access to Future Shop easily, so if I wanna keep collecting, I could do it. What should I do? How much do you think I could really get for this thing if I threw it on ebay?

Definitly would go over $100 bucks if you started the bid at $0.99 cents. It is rare and there would be collectors seeking it out to complete their DVD collections. Think of your most outrageous fixed price that you feel you have a serious shot at collecting on it and go for it. That way you only have to pay listing fees and get to keep it if nobody is crazy enough to use buy it now. For something that rare I would try it out. Try $299 for it at a fixed price, nothing to lose if nobody wants it at that price.

if youre willing to lose a few bucks on a fixed price listing on greedbay, why not attach a "best offer" option. that way, you can give yourself a feel for the market now.
whether you decide to keep it for a collection or sell it, good luck (you really will need the best of luck if you do the whole collection thing :D).

You could try EBay, but I've just seen 300 go for under $50, and it was commanding much higher prices just a few weeks ago. There is still a big demand for this one since ALOT of US Collectors want this one to complete the Steelbook Trilogy (myself included). I'm working on scoring another region of this one that actually has two discs. It'll probably be my first non-R1 dvd, but it'll be a steelbook, and it'll complete the trilogy for me.
You could also offer it up for trade here on the forums, and ask for best offer in steelbooks. I would be willing to bet you would get offers of around 6-12 steelbooks for just this one alone. That way, you may loose a "supposedly" rare steelbook now, but you would grow your steelbook collection instantly, and then you could enjoy the quest to get it all over again. The fun is in the hunt for me.

So I went to Suncoast today to reserve Cloverfield and, though I had no expectations, I asked if they had any more Sweeney Todd steelbooks left. The clerk said, "No, sorry, we only have the regular two-disc edition left." I was disappointed. But then he went behind the counter to get something for another customer and said, "Actually we have one left." Happy day. I'm guessing that someone had reserved a copy and then said that they didn't want it anymore and then the sales team forgot to put it back out. So if anyone missed out I'd recommend going and asking.
For those who have never pre-ordered a DVD before, is the $5 you put down included in the eventual DVD price or is it an extra $5 that you have to pay for piece of mind?
Also, with the $5 mail-in rebate, do they send you cash or is it store credit or what? Also, the "Original bar code symbol from the package," is that the "Proof of Purchase" from the back of the DVD? If so, do you send one or both of them?

:lol: No There is Nothing Wrong with the Steelbook (X3)
The links I shared where from Memory Lane... It gives some answers on what had happened before with the X3 Steelbook (on its release dates)... and many members here owns it
Actually X3's release in North America was a Major MESS which involves:
1. The Target Exclusive Edition
2. The Special Edition (21 Deleted Scenes vs 10 Deleted Scenes)
3. The Futureshop Steelbook (Which only came in disc despite 2disc slot on its steelbook and I have no clue if it were 21 or 10 deleted scenes)
With Junyab's post referring to X3 which were burned (coming from a Futureshop employee).. thats one possible theory
To be honest Im also inconclusive of X3 in futureshop, but I still stand that there were many scattered in Canada and many many members own it here have a photo proof that they do.
Heck, even the sales people at Scanovo (CANADA) got no clue about. All they thought were its discontinued and its rare ( but they cannot give any reason.. though they give me special promo stuff! but deymm cant post it due to some ********** reasons... ). One thing, I learned from the Scanovo guys... they are thankful in this thread (especially to you Scott! Kudos to you dude)
Oh speaking of sources... as far as sources are concerns... The xage, got a lot! :D :D :D , Hindolio is one of them (dont underestimate that dude.. he got a lot of very very interesting and ahead of sched/streetdate tips given to me)
On my end, I still stand that in North America the rarest steelbook is the APPLESEED GIFTSET (and please, enough with the excuse that there is a non-giftset steelbook, yeah I know.. but Im pertaining to the giftset).
2. The Giftset itself is Limited and #d out of 8000 (and the only #d Steelbook set in North America)

Kory
04-06-08, 07:55 PM
It's the Proof of Purchase, including the UPC. If you don't want to cut anything, the price sticker on the plastic wrap that includes the UPC on it is a valid substitute.
Also, the $5 you put down goes towards the eventual purchase price.
And I am pretty sure the guy is just mistaken about "There Will Be Blood."

junyab's post got me thinking about the early Future Shop exclusive Steelbook releases. Below is a list of the first ten exclusive releases from Future Shop and their release date.
1. The Chronicles of Narnia - April 4, 2006
2. Underworld: Evolution - June 6, 2006
Just noticed this list from earlier in the thread. Seems so long ago that I got my first steelbook (Narnia), but it's only been 2 years. I remember back then they used to hand them out to you as bought the DVD and seeing people that didn't want the extra case. If only they knew what those would be worth now :lol:
I guess that's part of the reason those ones are so rare. The steelbooks were a new thing and not everyone asked for it even if they were entitled. I sure did though, still the best DVD packaging ever IMO.

Hello my name is Willo007, and I am a Steelbook addict:
Well since everyone is talking about their collection, I might as well post my list, I hope no one minds:
I wonder if Fox didnt find their first batch of stellbooks released on 06/15/07 a sucess. The reason I say this is bcause they should be releasing a second batch. They do have many two disc SE editions that deserve the steelook treatment, Including their Alien, Predator, Alien Vs Predator, Speed films, also they should do the French Connection, I,Robot and Independence Day & from the MGM vault they should do the 007 films and Rocky!

As far as I know, its the two disc theatrical cut special edition, the one with the brown cover.

Here's the proper way to link it, Scott. You just forgot to link to the public one and not the private one.

Great collections!!
I got started a little late in the Steelbook™ game, my first was The Departed. Hopefully later this summer I will make it to Canada and get some of the Futureshop exclusives. :up:

ok, i think i got it now? thanks. also, keep in mind that almost all other regions steels were made R1 with the swap out program. boy- the more i look at that collection, the more i realize how utterly generic it is.

Steelbook fan right here, been lurking for a while and decided to join. I'll post up my collection soon - hoping to get Death Proof and Planet Terror on Friday.
I also think there's some steelbook fever going around. This was posted by someone on another site about steelbooks:
And fuck all Canadians, you get twice as many Steelbook exclusives as us Americans when the movies are produced by and made by us. We should have more exclusives instead of the other way around. It galls me and drives me crazy to see all these Futureshop exclusives when I would kill for those steelbooks. steelbooks are starting to make me hate Canadians.
The things steelbooks will make people say! Crazy, I know.

That's not how I read it. You must have edited the original comment with your own words. Are you refering to the post by sirdizzy?

I stand corrected.
I had not yet read the post made by sirdizzy, that Piznarski is referring to.
I'm going have to contact sirdizzy and see what his problem is.

Question: Does anyone leave inserts in their steelbooks? I bought Die Hard used online and it came with an insert. Part of me wants to keep it (it's fairly informative) yet the other part of me is saying that it covers up the beautiful artwork inside the steelbook. What to do?
Kory
04-18-08, 08:56 AM
If it has to do with the movie I keep it, but those Fox inserts advertising other SteelBooks? I just throw them away.

How much does that (fake I hear) hinge on the front stick out? And is the spine normal compared to previous steels? I found some pics, but no side pics.
Kory
04-23-08, 12:21 AM
The hinge is partially "feel-able" meaning that it is indented and raised just like the rest of the case, but it's not a real hinge, just part of the case design. The spine looks just like any other SteelBook spine does. Packaging is incredible though.

Can anyone tell me the difference between the Future Shop and the Best Buy exclusive copy of The Departed?
Kory
04-23-08, 03:11 AM
Pretty sure there is no difference. Best Buy's had post cards with it, and everything was written in English. Those are the only two differences I can think of there possibly being.

04-23-08, 03:42 PM
just got 4 new babies (on the way to me):
1. Chronicles of Narnia
2. Bee Movie
3. Quiet Earth
4. Da Vinci Code
not too bad.
can someone tell me which if any of these are 2-disc SE's? specifically, DC, CoN, and BM. thanks.
Bee Movie is the two disc. I dont know about the others, as I do not own them.

04-23-08, 06:00 PM
DaVinci Code & Chronicles of Narnia steelbooks are both 2 disc
They were handed out as extras when you bought the regular case at Futureshop.
These are the editions they were given away with:

There is no difference. The Futureshop edition has no French writing and includes the post cards, at least mine did.

no, they just scanned the regular case and handed you the steelbook at the checkout
Edit: I just noticed that you have your steelbooks listed on DVDspot. I don't think that the Narnia and DaVinci code steelbooks are listed there, you might have to make a new entry.

And all of those scratches, as well as the border on the front cover (except for the "latch") are indented. "U.S. GOVERNMENT" on the back is indented as well. Adn the movie title extrudes from the case. A lot of detail put into this. SteelBook has very cool possibilities.

04-24-08, 12:37 AM
Thx, Paddy, so the "damage" is just an "illusion" and not actually damaged? I was hoping the steelbook itself would be damaged.
Paddy963
04-24-08, 12:40 AM
ya, it's not really "damaged". More like a pattern of dents & scratches stamped into the metal. Still a very nice case, one of the better steelbooks released lately

I agree.

This has probably been asked before but, are the Die Hard steelbooks available at Futureshop the 2 disc versions?
I know the ones from Best Buy in the US are, but they don't say on them whether or not they are the 2 disc version at Futurshop.

Just saw your thread in the DVD Exchange Forum, and wanted to post here and see if you had any spots left open, howwon. I only buy one copy of a steelbook when I want it, but if there are spots left in the group I can buy multiple copies if needed. Let me know.

If anyone knows, would you kindly do a comparison break down of the Indy steelbook and the current Indy set? If it has enough extra material to make it worth a double-dip, I'd be interested in a copy too. TIA!

Really not fair considering that it's being released in Canada, Europe and Australia. And this is an American-made film after all!
