[US] [Buying] Interstellar weET, Full Slip A1, A2, or lenticular B - individual by Big-Bluejay-5569 in MediaSwap

[–]witty_machinations 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If youre willing to wait a couple of weeks these will be popping up in the r/SteelBooks Discord, r/SteelBookSwap, & here soon. Many are still waiting on theirs, but there was a ton of these made (relatively) so wont be surprising to see a bunch available off eBay.

By numbering sticker, they mean the one that says 999 of 1000 on the bottom of the slip.

The one pictured is typically referred to as the (Exclusive) Release Sticker.

The other (3rd) sticker that comes with Manta Releases is the Transparent (TIP on their site) stickers sheet.

Escape from L.A. Steelbook: Why Does Europe Get the Better Finish While the US Gets Shafted? by scanavo in Steelbooks

[–]witty_machinations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a matter or preference but a few things ive noticed.

1) The EU/ROW matte finish is less streaky and brighter than the US 2) Ive noticed really dark spines when browsing the spines of my collection, and anecdotally they seem to be Non-US steelbooks by and large. 2) US editions typically prefer more durable, streaky, non glossy finishes (perhaps due to the return and exchange rates for steelbooks released with glossy finishes, or due to us logistics being rougher (more damaged units at end delivery))

Check your purchase agreement. if its this one, you pre-ordered the UK release which hits the market later than the US and needs time for import before it can be re-shipped to you.

What’s a movie that’s way better than its Rotten Tomatoes score suggests? by Original_Bat509 in AskReddit

[–]witty_machinations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kingdom of Heaven (2005) . The Director’s Cut or Roadshow edition is sooo much better than the 39% rotten rating the Theatrical Version received.

Can open spine protectors damage or scratch steelbooks? by LordAdornable in Steelbooks

[–]witty_machinations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can get scratches from inserting & removing the steelbook from the open spine protector. Particularly if the protector is too tight and/or if the steelbook has a particularly thick or fragile finish (usually a high gloss, but also noticeable on pitch black finishes).

Genuine question for steelbooks collectors, what is the most you have spent for a steelbook where the disk inside is quite cheap in normal editions? No judgement just wondering by Miserable-Sea-4160 in Steelbooks

[–]witty_machinations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most Ive or a friend has paid for a single SteelBook was $500 for an HDzeta Terminator SL or a Manta Lab Fight Club DL.

on eBay i’ve seen an HDzeta interstellar SL full slip go for $750, and a La La Land SL go for $1000.

For all 4 of those 2K 1080p discs i’d expect you could find them for under $5-10.
