It's a special edition DVD/Blu-Ray case made of metal, usually featuring unique artwork. Lots of people are into collecting them.
Tonari no Totoro my favourite of all time. Watched that movie as a kid so many times (edit: in cantonese unfortunately)
My Neighbour Totoro?
Yeah, "Tonari no" is basically Japanese for "next to".
I love that movie. I'm in Japan right now and Totoro toys everywhere! Must resist….
@clarky:
Have you gone to the Ghibli museum yet??@clarky: any chance of a small to medium sized totoro if you are coming back to Australia one day?
My kids love the movies.
If you are in Japan, you gotta buy the Inemuri Totoro animatronic toy - it makes breathing and snoring animations!

@clarky: Don't resist. I brought back a large one from the Ghibli Museum and have no regrets. Love it!
@diddy50: the ones I've seen in comic shops in Nagasaki and okinawa are about $20 for a key ring size and about $35-45 for something about size of a large coffee mug, I'll see if there are any cheaper ones in Tokyo. PM your whereabouts :)
@greenlantern: I'm spewing. The day I arrive in Tokyo it's closed for Christmas new year break and the day I fly out it opens! I had it on my list :( I'll have to come back another time.
@clarky:
Now that's bad luck, now to wait for a jetstar special to tokyo :)
This is good for Ghibli blu-rays
(but why are they never really cheap? I only buy blu-rays for around $15 or less these days…)
Because they are good I suppose. Pixar films never went on sale earlier on. Also I used code WELCOME for first time and it knocked a few dollars off, 10% I think.
Well at least you can buy the pixar collection in a huge box that works out to be about ~$5 each when they're on sale. Wish they had a similar compilation set for studio ghibli films.
You mean like this > http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2014/11/finally-theres-a-studio-ghi…
@Elijha: must resist this…
Maybe when I get a little more money this will be bought.
@Elijha:
£180.00 ouchMight as well buy all 12 steelbooks separately at the price haha, especially since one of the amazon reviews said the disc trays are pretty flimsy.
@johnjones8:
cheaper here: https://www.mightyape.com.au/product/The-Collected-Works-of-…
too expensive still for what it yes - but as noted above these films rarely seem to drop in price by much.I agree. I have been eyeing off the complete Hayao works but Grave of the Fireflies isn't in it which is my favourite. It's not his, but I like it. I just bought Totoro for now and will look for Spirited Away as well at a good price. And princess monoke.
.
Spirited Away is on SBS 2 today (Saturday) 5.55pm - 8.10pm :)
anyone know what a "steelbook" is ?
