I was talking to a dealer I have bought from in the past trying to find POA - of course he is out.  And he indicated sounds like a hobby update will be released in Aug/Sept he wasn't sure exactly which month and he said he is anticipating preorders to be about  $525 for a 10 box case preorder.  

Of course we all know what is going to happen they will make 15,000 boxes and there will be one Chase card per box and most will be numbered to 1500 or so.  

Just preliminary from my side of the pond (us)

Would you pick up 2 boxes of LOTR FOTR Update for $99???

What about a case of TT update for $340???

Two Towers hobby box for $175??? (sounds like to big of a risk??? but they only have one left)

I know you all probably can tell me if it is a good deal or not.

$50 a box of FOTRU sounds ok, most costumes in that set sell for a decent price. TTU, I am a bit doubtful, imagine spending $85 for a Sam costume card Undecided but then again you could get an Arwen requiem  Smiley
I agree the TT hobby for that price is a bit high if you plan to open it.. imagine pulling a Sam/Eomer/Theoden when you could buy all 3 cards for less than that amount! However, if you plan to keep it sealed adn sell it later, it may be a good investment. Its down to you and how much money you are willing (or able) to spend.

Update series tend to be of lesser quality and in less demand than the original releases (think FOTRu-only costumes! ROTKU - apart from PJ, pretty disappointing with 10 costumes, apart from Elrond, I guess and the 2 mystery cards - heres hoping for a Legolas and Gimli!). TTU was decent with 3 major signers (Viggo, Sean, Andy). With this being only the first Artbox HP release, you never know. I would hang on until definite confirmation of what the chase cards are just to be on the safe side...

Yeah but changed his user ID in last 30 days with 11 feedback showing,  check or money order 3% discount  I dont know sounds pretty risky, No picture of the box either.
