Ah, I have the Flash Gordon one then!

I remember seeing the Aviator one posted somewhere when it for sale around the time of Gangs of New York on Amazon.fr but didnt go for it, nice looking packaging though.

I didn't realise Total Recall was a steelbook, I thought it was just a standard tin.

Definitely gonna get this at the end of the month.

cheers for the pic MG 8)

Always wondered what a steelbook was - until I bought the new Anchor Bay R1 edition of "The Quiet Earth". :)

Thankfully it wasnt just me that thought a steelbook was something different!

Wouldnt mind that total recall one either! My Mars tin freebie from dvdsoon has taken a bit of a battering

I have the R1 Mars tin too but my new addiction to steelbooks made me double dip yesterday which is something I usually avoid doing.

These are the only steelbooks I own but I want more:

Aviator (R2 France), Flash Gordan (R2 UK), The Boondock Saints (R1 USA), Tomb Raider Collection (R2 Italy), Total Recall (R2 UK)

MG, didn't you buy the Leon one as well? :?

Cheers for that, knew about Kagemusha coming out, didnt know about a lot of those.

Im after Appleseed and Casshern Steelbooks on top of Scum, Total Recall and Duel (which i once owned, why did i sell?)

At the moment i have 4 Steelbooks:-

Boondock Saints R1
Flash Gordon R2
A Better Tomorrow R2
Night Watch R2

I like them, a lot more than Tins.
