Movieman:I couldn't resist. Went back to EzyDVD and bought another four titles 😁
Breezzee:
Quite a good read if you haven’t seen it already :
I had my love of movies and my movie collection rekindled just in the past three-four months after I started listening to The Rewatchables podcast, which I thoroughly enjoy. A regular host of it, Sean Fennessey, is an avid physical media defender, and he talked a good show about it recently on The Big Picture podcast.

Looking forward to Easter to get into it!

Buying catalogue titles is a bit of a lottery I'm afraid. I have often added 10 titles or more to my basket and I may be successful with one or two.
Selecting recent titles is usually met with success, but yeah, it's frustrating if you really want an older title.

I have just read that the UK will not be getting a 4K Ultra HD release of the recently re-mastered THE ABYSS. The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) want the rat scene; A rat trying to breathe underwater... cut.
Disney agreed, but to his credit (in my opinion); James Cameron did not, so the release was cancelled. UK collector's will, of course, import the film from wherever they can. Crazy!

Managed to get V for Vendetta, Beetlejuice, Contagion and Meg 2 out of JB AU successfully. Had to get the 4K only not the steelbook as surprisingly they won't send that version, but still not bad(ish).

Walmart (US) will have an exclusive SteelBook of the GODZILLA X KONG (2024) film.
Some of their exclusives have been offered as Australian JB Hi-Fi exclusives in the past. The recent Walmart exclusive of the WONKA SteelBook however, was not released over here and we got a rather disappointing SteelBook.
I like the artwork for this latest GODZILLA offering, so, fingers crossed that we get it here.

When I was avidly collecting SteelBooks I bought several from Premium SteelBook sellers, such as Blu-fans. Expensive and usually glossy with embossing/debossing and including a selection of Slip Boxes with Film Cards and other collectible items.
Manta Lab is one of those Premium SteelBook sellers. Based in Hong Kong, they continually release high quality SteelBooks with World Exclusive Artwork. Usually sold out in a matter of minutes when offered on their website, they are an expensive option for collector's worldwide with limited runs of around 2000 to 2500 units for each release. Their SteelBooks are offered through the Collectong website, which advise of new releases and the time that they will go up for Pre-order. I only bought two SteelBooks from Manta Lab... The Greatest Showman and Ready Player One. The latter I sold to another collector and I have still got the scars on my legs where I have endlessly kicked myself for doing it 😁.
Their two latest SteelBook releases are WONKA [ME#68] and AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM [ME#69]. Both have sold out, but copies are readily available at astronomical prices on ebay.
For anyone who is interested in Manta Lab SteelBooks; Here is the link to Collectong. • Collectong - Manta Lab SteelBooks
