I think Anna has a master of POA update.  LikORish, you too?  Not sure about original POA

[Roz]

Oh yes, and Tower too, and Chris/Gimli... there's tonnes of them

[Tower]

LOL. 

BTW, i'm working on a new website with my card collection (and the POAU Master set of course). Better than the last one, i'm sure.

[canny19]

WOW! 

Congratters to you all that have a MS of POA etc.
It must of taken you a while.

Wow, our first dud box!!  Good thing there was an extra insert in the other box.  I wonder now that the boxes are numbered, if you could email artbox and tell them. Hmmmmm.

Aw I'm upset by the dud box I thought we had avoided that this time .  Its bad news for those who only get one or two (or three or four) boxes, while if you get a case like you had there was a box that made up for it which there wouldn't be if there were singles.

I really dont know what you asking but its a Bon-Bon one,

[rns91294]

So here are my first two boxes - the breakdown (two more to come)

Box 3686 (Ryan's box)

BT2
Cinema fimcard - Troll (cells of Mr. Ollivander) 195/397
Fluffy's Fur  497/700

Box 5959 (My box)

BT4
Warwick Davis as Gringott's Bank teller auto
Harry's PJ's  145/360

I am loading pictures and will post them in a minute.

[rns91294]

Well, here are the pics.  The one after Fluffy is of the side of the card.  It is a little off to the right, but that thick white thing you see is its thickness.







Love the PJ's swatch

[kbmum]

Oooooh, great stripes on Harry's pjs!  That's the best swatch I've seen so far for that card.

[rns91294]

Thanks!!  Oh, and the fluffy card, it is the one sitting on top of the case, which is holding a LOTR costume card.  And I thought those were thick.  Ha!

[Anna]

Ooooh!  I like the stripes on Harry's PJs too!  Real nice!   And those Fluffy's Furs are thick!  The Devil's Snare is supposed to be even thicker that!   LikORIsh could tell us for sure.

FINAL TALLY

5@ Props, Autos & Costumes.
3 Film Cells
2 Box Topper sets + 2 extras
5 Foil Card sets + 5 extras

THOUGHTS

All boxes with Props/Film Cells were on the left side of the case.  All Auto/Costume boxes were on the right.  Each box contained five Foil Cards.  One box I collated had exactly two base sets with no extras.  Artbox is like the kid who got caught being bad.  They're now on their best behavior.   

My one complaint is that some cards are just too big.  I like to store my cards in their respective albums.  When I saw the "Fluffy" card I started looking around for a glass to sit on it.  It's like a coaster.  When I held it out to a friend of mine he said, "Wow!  Is that a whole stack of cards?"  No, just one, and it's too big.  It's almost like Artbox is saying, "See what we can do..."  My one bit of advise for them would be to stop making cards this big.  How are we supposed to store them?  Take a look at Inkworks' Pieceworks cards.  They've got the right idea.  No more coasters please.

Overall, a good comeback after the POAU fiasco.  I plan on buying two more cases, but I'm still miffed about the "giant" Props and Costumes.
