Well I hope there is some nice forum member in the USA who is will to let get a ss box and postage to Australia .

We will have 5 autographs per case, 10 costumes per case (1
per box), 5 prop cards per case, 3 film cards per case, 1 case topper
(best looking ones so far), 1 box topper per box.

For every 5 cases you will get 2 promo sets
For every 10 cases you will get a 10 case incentive prop card
For every 25 cases you will get a 25 case incentive prop card

Props

Over 10 prop cards including sorcerer's stone
Over 10 costume cards
Over 10 autograph cards

This is what I have heard. And it's direct from Mike @ Artbox so I would
hope it will not change, but with Artbox you just never know.

The number of cases estimates from 800 (US sources) to 650 (UK sources) so
I'd err on the side of caution and say at least 800. I think numbered boxes
would be lovely.

This set needs Hotboxes again in my opinion, it created a "buzz" about the
cases. And of course Becks if I am only getting a 9 box case then my last
space in my case will just be stuffed with all the remaining Alan Rickman
autos right? (NO ALAN RICKMAN AUTO EVEN RUMOURED YET SO DON'T GET YOUR
KNICKERS IN A TWIST IN ANITCIPATION).

Speaking of Case Toppers, I hope they put in some special "normal" numbered cards. Speaking for myself, I am not really fond of the lenticular format, they just don't seem to fit.
I like the idea of  the UK case cards like the Rare Ron's Robe of 100 and the Rare Harry's Robe of 100. If they were to issue normal numbered cards as case toppers, I would also hope that they would use a unique design instead of an existing design with a different limited issue.

[ferdinand_the_yak]

Yeah - I totally agree - if they do one more Harry black robe, I am going to start eating my base sets

[Roz]

I think for this one at least they are sticking with lenticular as Mike says the SS are the best looking ones so far.

He might have mentioned if they had changed them to normal cards... but we'll see

[ferdinand_the_yak]

I was never a fan of the lenticulars... people have said that they look better close up, but I still am not a fan

I like the lenticular cards.  I especially like the Hermione punching Draco one.  What would be better though is for Artbox to number the lenti cards like the normal cards.  To me numbered cards are more "official" collectibles.

of course if there are only 800 cases any item numbered over 800 will average 1 per case and if there is any at 1600 there will be 2 per case!

Remember the original set the weasley Quiditch robe was some times 3 per case as there was 1300 of them and only 500 ish cases.

[Roz]

he hee - that's true. I only got one in 5 boxes so perhaps I should regard myself as lucky

I think it is so funny that Mike @ Artbox says that is the info, yet the peron who told me the info I posted and many of you are familiar with him (hint: He goes by ______Cards ((it is a shape))

And I know he talks to Mike directly also.  So there we have it. Conflicting info that is supposed to come from the same source.  It just doesn't make sense to me, this is the same thing that happened with Update, we would get information from realiable sources and then when it comes out certainly not very accurate.

[rns91294]

well, I hope it is the one with 10 costumes per case.  That makes our odds of getting more than one card per box much higher!

[Morningangel-Iola]

I hope there are hot boxes (and I hope I get one )

[EmmasOneandOnly]

I hope there are hot boxes (and I hope I get one )

Me too

[Morningangel-Iola]

One for all us Yaks would be good although highly unlikely

[EmmasOneandOnly]

You never know they could change it from 20 to 50

[Morningangel-Iola]

And the house elf team could win the next Quidditch world cup

[ferdinand_the_yak]

Well, ztaylork and MPC both got one... so it IS possible

Then again, I shudder to think how many cases they opened up between them to get one!

[mpcltd]

I got 2  

[ferdinand_the_yak]

Case in point... so 2 forum members got 3/20 of them then!

Here I was thinking you only got one paltry hotbox... how disappointing that would have been!

Thanks for clearing that up

[zero]

I remember when we all wished for hotboxes of POAU. Then, someone at artbox confirmed that they weren't going to be making them ... that sucked!
