The thing about Artbox that to me is most frustrating is the fact that they really don't help the collector's by letting them know ahead of time what's actually in the product ..... Remember how we'd all get "bits and pieces" of info on the Update set ?? They have to know ahead of time what inserts/autos/costumes etc. are going to be in there product ..... They have to .... Why this does this seem to be a big secret ?? Take for example Rittenhouse Archives --- they have the Star Trek TNG set coming next month -- that info has been on their website for awhile now -- list of big autographs, the fact that you get 1 auto & 1 costume per box with other inserts listed as well etc.etc. etc -- it's out there telling people what is actually in this product .... Why the devil can't Artbox do this ?? Seems to me it would be logical that the more info they'd place on their website the more people would know about it and the more people would be looking forward to it and eventually the more product Artbox would sell .... Does'nt that make sense ?? I remember with Update we'd get a photo here and there on the Artbox website and that was when it was close to release date -- If it was'nt for the hard work by some on this board we would have actually had very,very little info on the Update set before it was actually released ..... I see no reason for this --- I always thought if you had a product you advertise it -- get the word out about it -- promote yourself ... I guess Artbox does'nt look at it that way  ron |

I think if Artbox xontinues to run it the way they have been, then they are going to start to get less and less sales. I only get a few boxes, so i will still be ordering, but for their large customers, the ones who order cases at a time, they will not be doing that anymore without knowing the ratios of the inserts and the inserts themselves. Or without knowing a print run. Since this one was so large, making it even harder to pull a really good card, it really damaged the after price of the set. Hopefully, they will take that in to consideration this time, although, we have to remember that they sold out of the last set, so to them, they got their money's worth. It is the people who want to buy to resell who ended up losing out.

I agree. Artbox should tell the collecters what they plan or have made.

Artbox is so extremely bad concerning information. There is still no information on the homepage which Autograph cards are in the POA update. So bad ...  |

Cards Inc aren't taking orders yet so I am not sure the UK sellers will have a costing for you... on top of that I am not sure who'll be taking it, but I'll find out.

\i would really like a crystal ball to know that i won't get another dud box. I think i would rather buy from forum members than get another dud box it might be a cheaper way.

Good Grief retro cards!! I can't even afford POA cards I would like, now they are doing the Philosophers Stone.. Sheesh. I would feel a heck of a lot better about collecting this kind of stuff if I knew the money wasn't just making fat cats fatter at Warner Bros. Phooey! |

One of the moderators at NSU posted that she had heard there could be six autos, nine costumes, 15 props, and a significantly reduced production run. Has anyone else heard this? There's still no info on the Artbox website. Grrrrrr!  |

No Mike, they never are - yes KB I have that same info in my inbox too - and when they say "greatly reduced print run" it seems to be 750 cases... that's 50% more than PoA but also about 1/3 of PoAU... IF TRUE! Here's more of that info - at the moment it should all be taken with a pinch of salt. 6 Autos : No Details As Yet 9 Costume Cards : Hermoines Jumper, Harry Shirt, Hagrids Shirt, 15 Prop Cards : Sorcerors Stone, Top Secret Letter, (presumably the letter left on the doorstep with Harry? Or his invitation to Hogwarts??) Accceptance Letter, Daily Prophet, (again! but published daily there must be a few  ) Golden Ticket, (train ticket to platform 9.75??) Gringots Coins, Harrys Wand, Rons Wand, Hermoines Wand, Nimbus Broomstick |

If ti is the Platform 9 3/4 ticket, it should be a low number since it isn't that big, right? I mean, what else could be the golden ticket?
The SS would be a cool one, but I still want to hear that there is an invisibility cloak!!!
The wands are very possible since they have changed since the first movie.
