Hi Guys! Many's a morning I waited patiently until finally this morning - they came - it's the Harry Potter Top Trumps Set. I think I am one of the few people to really have a totally complete set of LOTR Top Trumps as they reprinted them (when the FOTR ones got hideously rare) and they also did some very rare "super top trumps" like the Flying Nazgul and Shelob which are proudly in my collection. Anyway - it's about time to start collecting HP ones and to give you all a taster of what the cards look like I scanned some in:  Very cool. It's odd that they haven't put foil stamping on the cards like they did with the later LOTR sets but they are still very cool. I bought 2 packs as I thought someone off the forum would want them, but no-one's contacted me so I have put them up on ebay - I hope to get my money back on the spare so fingers crossed for me guys: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5183480212you can also see the case they come with and the topper card you get  in the auction. All in all a fun set. Now all I need is someone for a game |

He hee - they did FOTR and it was relatively short printed and it went high in price. Then later they printed it (slightly differently - i.e. it was stamped with "specials" across each card) within a "Trilogy set" of all 3 packs. Which came with 9 bonus cards. That would be the one for you to get Jo |

Roz, Did you get the Buckbeak special card as well. Mine came today and so did my normal pack. I ordered the pack on line last week and am pretty impressed with the service. |

LOL Mine cost £7.97 for the two packs (£3.985 each , which is the normal retail price for them My son was checking out some of the shops the day before to see if there were any available and couldn't find them, so it was really nice to be able to give him one of the packets today and say ... 'here, these are for you!' |

It was a pre-order so there wasn't any.

Well, we went in and asked about them and none of the assistants knew when they'd be stocking them, so for once ... my son will be one of the first people to get them instead of the last!   Now all I need to do is to track down a couple of the Buckbeak cards without breaking the bank to get them, as I haven't got a paid-up subscription to qualify for one of them as a freebie ... yet! Nice not to have to pay postage either and I believe their postal charges are quite reasonable on normal 'in stock' items, which is good to know. |
