The Costumes/Props aren't ready to be announced. PAH!
OH YEAH! Good job, Trey! Hopefully, our continued asking is annoying them.

Yea exactly, as if they wouldnt know what costumes and props they would be using! I am getting a bit sick of artbox really, not giving out information. I mean, we havent even got confirmation on much of HP. We know a few things but nothing really in concrete. Look at Topps and Inkworks for example, they have heaps of info on upcoming sets. Even if not pictures, they still let people know who is signing, props etc.  me annoyed |

Right now, we know much more about the SS set (even though it isn't much). For example, I have two CCF promos, but I don't know where to get the other ones. With SS, I have all the promos except the binder exclusive. GAH! As for the inserts, we know a couple from the SS and have seen pictures. For CCF, we only know of the Depp auto. DOUBLE GAH! |

I belive the CatCF binder comes with one of the promos. The other may come from an upcoming show/convention or possibly NSU like the SS promo. Only Artbox knows for sure.  |

Its ridiculous - several months on from PoA update, they still have not updated their site to include information about that set. Why bother with a website and paying a fortune for bandwidth etc if you are not even going to use it? |

"Artbox's set, releasing in late May, will feature 90 base cards, as well as nine foil insert cards. Eight card packs will have an SRP of $1.99. Among the many highlights of this set will be autographed cards from the three main stars of the film : Johnny Depp, Christopher Lee, and Freddie Highmore. ... The product will also include costume cards, although the exact number has yet to be announced. There will also be prop cards, with different versions for retail and hobby packaging. Hobby packs will feature several different prop cards. Retail prop cards will feature pieces of wrappers from some of the candy bars used as props in the film. There will even be a prop card featuring a 'golden ticket' wrapper in retail packs." There you go - now you know all I know, which isn't a whole heck of a lot  |

Wow thanks for the info Joanna! I wonder what role Christopher Lee plays? I am guessing Wonka's father but...  I wants the Golden ticket prop!  |

I do believe it said Lee was playing Wonka's dad - I edited so I didn't have to type the whole darn thing in Lazy Joanna!  |

I just hope the props in the retail packs are not going to be like the autographs in the FOTR retail packs  |

It does look that way, unfortunately. I really don't like hobby and retail versions  but I guess they're not going away anytime soon... |

WOW! All this info is rather inundating!!! Thanks Joanna and Martyn. Now, I might have to get a hobby and retail box or just a retail box. I like the idea of getting a candy wrapper! Though, I think it kinda weird to spread their product that way, but Artbox can probably make more sales that way. When talking about the next NSU issue, does that mean the Sopranos one. I looked on the website, and they didn't mention having the CFF promo with the issue ... could it be one of the surprises If this is the issue, I'll have to put a preorder in with my local comic book store |

My brother has them and they are beautiful. Or was it just the pull ratio? Oh don't get me wrong, I love the FOTR autos and they are mainly what I collect if possible. Its the horrible odds that I don't like. 1 auto in three boxes. And when you consider that boxes nowadays (if they turn up at all sell for $250-300 and you are not even guaranteed of an autograph. The FOTR retail boxes had the Legolas, Saruman, Elrond and Merry autos which fetch the highest prices. I was lucky to get a Legolas but I doubt I will ever get any of the others  So that was why I hope the odds for the CatCF retail cards are not the same! |
