Some interesting facts about this release:

- The very first in North America - Steelbook with a slip case? (correct me if I'm wrong)

You guys are forgetting about Hellsing, Volumes II and IV. Each steelbook was housed in a slip case with an artbook.

1. Is this an actual steelbook of Unsolved Mysteries or is it just listed as one like Terminator was before?

It is listed on Best Buy and I can't post the link.

2. Are the DVDEmpire TV shows that were originally listed as steelbooks (now collectible tins) steelbooks?

200 Family Cartoons Collection
Best Of Sherlock Holmes Collection
Best Of TV Westerns Collection
Beverly Hillbillies Collection
Big Dragnet Collection
Gunslinger Western Collection
Heroes Of Horror Collection
Hollywood Hoodlums Collection
John Wayne Western Collection
Ultimate Bonanza Collection
Ultimate Lucy Show Collection

The Unsolved Mysteries WAS going to be a Steelbook, I believe there were going to be two of them, but then they were canceled by First Look Studios. BestBuy still has it as an Steelbook but its not, its just a regular double digipak case.

The DVDempire issue was that they had the Allegro Entertainment tins as Steelbooks, I had to go Item by item and send them an email through their website telling them they were NOT steelbooks and just metal tin cases and that Steelbook is a copyrighted brand and they should not be fooling the consumers with false advertisement, they changed the description to metal tins. They did the same with a shaw brothers collection which is not a steelbook its just a tin case as well, they also had Heroes Of Horror Collection marked as a steelbook, which they just changed to collectible tin not too long ago.

Go to www.steelbookhunterz.com for the most update R1 steelbook releases news.

Looking back to my collection, yeah youre corect. Thanks for the info.

Both Ultimate Hellsing (Limited Edition Vol Ii & IV) were housed in a thick slipcase. To add up, its the same slipcase dimension for this:

I cant contest it as made for steelbook as the offer was originally exclusive with TWEC during those days (while Bestbuy & Futureshop offered the steelbook).

Well, you gotta start somewhere. Now you have one.

Maybe if you guys finally unbanned me, I could finally go back on it.

MovieGod91...I was falsely accused of abusing the cool points, but enough about the past. I can still view it at school.

The spine is similarly white, with the silver "language" strewn throughout, and the text of the title is small. It's not the best-looking steelbook, but it is nice-looking.

^ give it a try. you'll love it. but, you won't get half of those in without cover art and since many are pre-release and weeks away, good luck trying to find actual pics.

To hook the suckers who buy every steelbook they see.

Like me. , But then again I felt Eye See You deserved the steelbook treatment more than Sex In The City.

I still can't believe I own Sex in the City - just because it's a steelbook. Probably got a few layers of dust on it.

That is a title that, even with a steelbook case, doesnt need to be in my collection.

As Nick mentioned, they are a film studio. They release alot of movies in steelbook packaging. Most of these movies are lesser known titles, and maybe direct to video. They are relatively inexpensive, usually list for $15 and can be had for $10. What makes them so inexpensive is that First Look saves money by not using shrinkwrap on their steelbooks. Just stickers.
