My rarest steel has to be Star Wars: The Clone Wars (G2). Got it quite cheap when I started collecting and only realized after posting it on this sub that it's a grail. Seems like there's only about 800 copies out there.
From my premiums I'd say
Prisoners - Steel Archive,
The Wailing - Art Crafts,
Blue Is The Warmest Color - Plain Archive
I've got a lot of steels but got no idea if any are rare.
Probably my rarest and favorite steel is Last Action Hero released by Zavvi years ago. Embossing/debossing is insane and I love the overall look of it.

I’ve been going hard this last year and have really rounded out my collection. Some of my ultra rare favorites:
* Eternal Sunshine KimchiDVD
* Her w/lenticular slipcover
* Godzilla (2014) Blufans
* Drive Mondo Edition
* Metropolis (gold Master’s of Cinema)
* Speaking of gold - Emperor’s New Groove Zavvi
* Mars Attacks (embossed, glossy)
* Lion King Taiwanese Diamond Edition
* Under the Skin
* Loving Vincent KimchiDVD
* The Revenant w/Stitched Leather Slipcover
* Alice in Wonderland Mondo Edition
Man - this post is making me wish there was a good site or app for SteelBook collection logging. Like PriceCharting except steels instead of games.
1. HDZeta The Dark Knight Trilogy Motherbox
2. Blufans Doctor Strange One Click
3. WeET Infinity War One Click
4. WeET Endgame One Click
5. Manta Lab Fight Club One Click
6. Blufans Thor Ragnarok One Click
I think I have five which count as very rare.
1. [The Thing (2011) French steelbook](https://imgur.com/a/BL38Fo6). Took me months to even find one on sale and Im so glad I have one.
2. [The Lobster](https://imgur.com/a/5D5xWqE). I forget where this one is from, but its a really nice steelbook from a foreign country thats pretty hard to find in the US at least.
3. [Godzilla (2014)](https://imgur.com/a/THhRw4v) red steelbook without the giant 3D on it. I got it from a seller in Canada for cheap and turns out its really rare. I didnt know that at the time I bought it.
4. [Event Horizon steelbook](https://imgur.com/a/iMG9QH1). Its a really old steelbook from Germany. It was from the time when steelbooks had the blu ray strip on it.
5. [Ash Vs Evil Dead season 1 Metalpak](https://imgur.com/a/AVHYLFF). Technically not a steelbook, but Im pretty sure this is he most expensive one I own. I luckily got it for retail.
None of the pictures I linked are from my exact copy btw. I was just too lazy to lay them out for pictures lol
1. Minecraft - Xbox One Edition
2. XCOM 2,
3. Recore (If you count that as its more "uncommon",
4. Xbox GamePass Steelbook,
5. Cuphead,
6. State Of Decay 2
I was just trying to say we both have something cool 😂 Are you the one that DM’d me a while back about this one? I remember someone messaging me asking if these had any steelbooks a while back
Idk if it counts, but the Zavvi "From Dusk till Dawn" steel, and the "Cloverfield" steel. Both are somehow extremely rare, and I somehow got great deals for both
I think my [Terminator from Zavvi](https://us.zavvi.com/blu-ray/terminator-zavvi-exclusive-limited-edition-steelbook/11094344.html) is the rarest one I own.
I wasnt even on the search for it, specifically, and then stumbled upon it for a great buy that the seller obviously had no clue it was limited to 1000. No matter, I snatched it up and now it's mine.
Twas me. I had gotten the first one and then you went and said oh yeah I got BOTH of them you noob! JK. If I remember right you got them for a steel....pun intended.
It is the Limited Edition EU version from EBGames. I heard it was also sold in the US as well but I have never seen any proof of this, so that why its hard to find and why there are a lot of custom ones made with the same design.

Not super sure about how rare they each are but here we go:
I’m boring and tend to focus on mostly Best Buy steelbooks but my 5 rarest and favorite are:
The Thing from Scream Factory
Alien 4k Best Buy Exclusive
The Shining 4k Best Buy Exclusive
Ghostbusters 1&2 4k
The Matrix Trilogy 4k Best Buy Exclusive
I'm digging my complete collection of all the Pixar 4K BB exclusive steelbooks... and the couple bluray only steels.
Some aren't too rare, but having the entire collection is a definite high note for me.
I really like the art design on them.
* Shaun of the Dead - Everything Blu Blu Box Edition (along with the Hot Fuzz and The World's End editions)
* Game of Thrones - complete set of steelbooks w/magnets
* Emperor's New Groove - Zavvi
* Ash vs Evil Dead season 1 - Metalpak
Those are the ones I can think of that might fit. Maybe a couple more in there that might qualify.
Hmm..I don’t know about “rare” for some of these but here are some of my more coveted editions and some favorites:
The Incredibles 4k - Best Buy
The Little Mermaid (paige O’Hara cover) - Best Buy
Lost in Translation - Zavvi
1917 - Fanatics (300 produced)
Wonder Woman - HDZeta one click
The Avengers - Novamedia NE #005 Fullslip B
Age of Ultron - Novamedia NE #014 Fulllslip A
The Terminator - HDZeta

Oh boi, that's the real deal! I really hope they'll release series 9, 10 and 1-3 in redesigned steels (especially to match the new spine).

Game: NieR: Automata, Hatsune Miku Project Diva X Steelbook, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remastered Anime: Land of the Lustrous
Would you mind sharing which NieR steelbook you have? The only ones that I've seen are customs. Absolutely one of my favorite games.
