Well, you better beleive I'll be emailing artbox with a complaint if they don't release any info on this set (before it's release)!

I recently got my promos and sell sheets for both this set and SS. While looking at them, I noticed a key difference. SS did not mention anything about releasing info in the future, but they promos and sell sheets for Charlie say that info shall be released in the future.

We'll see if they stick to this  Tongue

The key words "in the future" can mean anytime.  They didn't say "in the near future", so we'll see what happens. Roll Eyes

Good Call Wink I guess I didn't think of it that way.

Perhaps, the petition for the SS set will make a difference to this release and all other sets produced by Artbox. They are a month apart, right?

I guess I'm just hoping for the best when I don't really think that something could happen   Undecided

Maybe its scattered in Chocolate bars a la the book? So instead of Golden tickets, you have Golden promos with full release information?

Now THAT would be a novel way of doing it Wink

Searching ebay for anything and everything, I stumbled upon some interesting auctions:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=219&item=6166580112&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=219&item=6167281794&rd=1&ssPageName=WD1V

I emailed the seller about the picture. The reply I got was that she didn't know anything about it except it was a picture being released for retail distributors to promote their product.

The same seller also had this up for auction (not part of the card set):

The picture used in the first two auctions looks like a promo card.

The statue looks cool. Cool  Were you thinking about getting one?

Sometime down the road, I'de like to get the binder and the bust; but not right now. Since the box is definitely overpriced, I guess I'm just afraid that I'll be able to get them cheaper.

Ok, take this for what it's worth. Out of sheer boredome, I emailed artbox Friday afternoon regarding this set. Here's their reply:

He hee - you guys sometimes pay in $ the same as we pay in £ - i.e. £45=$45 by the time we have shipped them and paid import duty  Huh

C'mon Cards Inc - become a huger manufacturer so we can gloat that the US folk have to pay huge prices for a change  Grin
