Went to Bestbuy in the states yesterday and they had a bunch of steelbooks on sale for 9.99. I ended up picking up all three Lord of The Rings movies on Steelbook. I only have about 6 steelbooks now but everytime I see one i try and grab it.
So is anyone a big Steelbook collector? And what do your collections look like.
I have: 3 Lord Of The Rings, The Dark Knight, Appaloosa and Rush:Beyond the lighted Stage.

I love steelbooks, but I'm not one of those "I buy it JUST because it's a steelbook" kind of guys. If it's a movie I want and it's in steelbook, I'll pick it up. I picked up 7 of those new Best Buy steels this week to add to my growing collection, and I'm hoping to snag Sherlock Holmes 2 next week.

I have a ton of steelbooks. I love them, they look really classy. My favorite ones I own are the Death Proof and Planet Terror ones, which are actually pretty rare I think.
Question: Is there a site, or forum, that tells you what movies will be getting exclusive steelbooks, and where?

I like the feeling of a steelbook on a hot day...
Anyways, I don't have many come to think of it. The only Blu-Ray one I have is Scarface (got it for $10). I do like them though, just tend to be pricey.

I love steelbooks, but I don't get too crazy about them.
I'll buy one if the opportunity comes along, especially at a good price (like the Resident Evils at Wal-Mart for $7.88).
I did recently get Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, V For Vendetta, and Inception from the Best Buy sale. Batman Begins and V were DVD upgrades, the other two were double dips.
I don't go all out as far as importing them, though.
My steelbook collection is modest...
Batman Begins
The Dark Knight
Inception
V For Vendetta
Battle: Los Angeles
Resident Evil
Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Resident Evil: Extinction
Salt
Cloverfield (DVD)

I actually just started collecting. My brother bought Resident Evil Afterlife steel the other day and it made me want to start buying them. Ironically enough right after that Best Buy released a bunch of exclusive steelbooks.
Currently I own:
Goodfellas
The Dark Knight
Scarface
Hangover
Hangover 2
Batman Begins
The last three haven't shipped yet. I bought the first two when they were still $14.99 last week.

If you haven't already, go get your price adjustment! Or if you ordered online, just call. They'll refund you within a couple days. |

Unfortunately though they only put 5 bucks back in my account. Oh well, I'd rather not call again for the other 5 bucks. |

I've been collecting them for a few years now. At one point I was REALLY big into them and did a lot of importing from France, Germany and Canada.
My original Iron Man Blu-ray steelbook from Canada (that I bought for $45ish shipped) was once fetching for $1,000 on ebay.
I just love 'em!
