I actually take back my previous statement about Beauty and The Beast being most expensive. The most expensive one I bought was Tangled 3D from Kimchi. That shit was like $65 purchased brand new straight from the website. I like the quality of Kimchi but they are so damn expensive. I think shipping alone was $15.

I have all 3 Bourne steels and the Jurassic Park one on PO from that new reel heroes wave. Already have all of them on BR, but still.

 

And I love kimchi. Their releases are expensive (not as crazy as blufans though), but really top notch. Managed to snag the Thor 1/4 slip, but not sure if I should keep it, seeing as it can pay for at least 10 other steels. I had no idea people would go so crazy after it.

Just stumbled upon this thread. I've always loved steels but never got into them due to spending all my money on vinyl. I picked up a Shaun of the Dead on Black Friday for $6! I couldn't pass it up. I think I have total recall (the recent one) but that's it. I have the mondo drive one coming and I'm hoping to get the boyhood one too.

Very nice! You have the first UK release of Scott Pilgrim, it took me the longest time to get that one. Also love the gallery 1988 art wave, I only have Snatch on order, but these won't be out until February here in EU. And some titles will even be missing, would love Fifth Element, but not sure it's worth paying the high shipping costs to import from US since I already have the UK release. Might jump on it if I find a cheap one on ebay.

 

I also see you have a few zavvi exclusives, and since someone mentioned they didn't know many of the steels existed, here's a list I keep of all zavvi exclusive releases. Many are region B locked though, but they are really bringing out some great titles.

I've just started getting into these myself. Bummed that the guardians of the galaxy steel book was gone before I knew it existed. I missed the preorder and the store near me stock all went to those who preordered. Speaking of which if anyone finds an extra copy, I'd be interested in it.

Also word of caution when ordering from best buy. I got the fifth element and it was shipped in a plastic bag. No bubble wrap or anything. Of course it was dented. The store did an exchange but they can only exchange based on what they have in stock.

From what I've read these are all gone, both in US and CA, so your best bet is to grab one on ebay now that prices are still relatively low.

 

You can still get the korean release: http://novamnm.com/index.php/steel-book/blu-ray-guardians-of-the-galaxy-2014-2d-3d-steel-book-non-nova-choice-korea-pre-order.html

 

And the Norwegian one: http://cdon.no/film/guardians_of_the_galaxy_-_steelbook_(blu-ray)-29828423

 

but it's probably still cheaper on ebay.

Thanks I appreciate the heads up on the GOTG. I think I'll just hold off on the ebay machine for now. It was already a bit steep and I can't justify the 40 plus dollar price for it.  The movie is super popular so I suspect there will be a definitive edition released at some point anyway.

I wouldn't hold my breath on that. All of the MCU steels sold out within months of the release, and not a single one got a re-release in North America yet. There have been a few re-releases in Europe, but none for the last five movies, and they're all oop.

 

There are some upcoming Asian editions of the "phase one" movies, but even if you manage to join the group-buys, they're around $60 a pop.

 

As for the first releases of the phase one movies, well, it's not even worth mentioning.

 

Thor: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=thor+steelbook&LH_Complete=1&_from=R40&LH_Sold=1&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xthor+-dark+steelbook&_nkw=thor+-dark+steelbook&_sacat=0

 

CA: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=thor+-dark+steelbook&_from=R40%7CR40&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xcaptain+america+-winter+steelbook&_nkw=captain+america+-winter+steelbook&_sacat=0

 

Iron man 1 & 2: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&_from=R40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40&_sacat=0&_nkw=iron+man+-3+steelbook&_dcat=617&Format=Blu%252Dray%2520Disc&rt=nc

 

So while the price of GotG might even drop a bit in the coming months, a re-release is very unlikely.
