Hey folks

This is a contribution from goblinsdoitall for the UPC 4-013549-572873.
Postal - Limited Edition.

The is submitting it for the 2nd time now.
he wants to change the Case Type from CUSTOM to STEELBOOK.

I writed in my NO vote that this is NOT a STEELBOOK, it is a METALPACK, and those are all in the database as CUSTOM CASE.
STEELBOOK is a special packaging, METALPACK is a different thing.

It was clearly stated many times that METALPACKS are not STELBOOKS.

Someone please stop him before his contribution gets accepted

he already convinced one NO voter to vote YES, LOL.

I mean it is not the end of the world, but it is simply a wrong contribution.

greetings
Donnie

Metalpaks come in different sizes and shapes but it's not the same thing as a Steelbook. And I already requested to add Metalpak to the available cases.

Since I'm not trying to drive anyone nuts, here's the explanation:
The change of the CaseType followed the Poll results of this thread.
Since I'm quite aware that polls cannot change rules. I counterchecked in the contribution rules and it's linked thread, whether there were any restrictions that the casetype "Steelbook" should only be used for cases of the trademark holder. I couldn't find any restrictions.

Donnies reason for his "NO" was a "Rule violation" I asked him in a PM which rule I might have violated and asked him to quote the passage. There was no answer until now. Probably somneone else can show me where I went wrong.

The reason for contributing twice is quite obvious: when the first two "NO"-votes came in I withdrew the contribution and rechecked it's correctness, since in my eyes I couldn't find any errors I recontributed and named the reasons for this in the contribution notes.

If Donnie would have been able to show me the part of the rules I might have violated, I would have withdrawn the contribution and kept the change in my local db. But he simply couldn't, or didn't want to.

I can see what goblin & north are saying & if that is the case (no pun intended!!) then Steelbook should be renamed to something else so we don't have keep on having this problem (not a complaint merely a statement ).

Rules aside, my personal preference is to see these as distinct. A Steelbook actually holds the discs, and looks quick distinguished, whereas (for me), a metalpack is a cheapish way of bulking up an ordinary release. Metalpacks aren't packaging, rather they're glorified slipcases.

Are you sure you are talking about the same thing?
A MetalPak is almost identical toi a Steelbook (means it's practically a KeepCase made of metal), from what you wrote I'd assume you're talking about a Metal SlipCover (which is on the market too)

I didn't even know about metal slip covers, but yes, I'm talking about the same thing. A metalpack isn't actually a package for holding the discs, it's merely a wrapper if you will for the actual case, hence my view that it's a glorified slip case.

I don't have this set so I won't be voting,, but I always felt that custom was plastics and cloth etc.
( think LOTR Sp ED box set),, Superman Box set in a metal box is steel,, any metals is steel,, and the drop down box for case type only lists Steel  no Metal  in that drop down box..
