Me thinks I will end up with the non card one

[Sharon]

Apology time 

A very big apology to Mike.  I have just put my Scene It DVD in a region 2 player and it was fine.  So really sorry Mike, it does seem it will play on any region.

Even more embarrassing is that I nearly lost to my Dad    But what an excellent game.  Even if some UK Shackers can't get the trading card one I would recommend it as a great game anyway.

Apology Accepted

We all had are doubts abotu the game

If only I had a camera handy for the look on Sharons face when my dad beat her to the answer "Cornish Pixies"

oh dear .... this is the same man who thought Umbridge was Voldi using Polyjuice Potion is it!?!

Classic!!

It looks like the GOF set is going to have tins too.  I didn't hear anything about it before but I noticed over at Potomac, they have pictures of one tin with the champions on it.  Had anyone else heard anything about them?

[Nienna]

I wonder if the foil inserts will have pix of the four champions?
Naturally we know nothing here in the UK ... unless a wee birdie has been whispering in Roz's lug'ole ...

[Roz]

I think we can safely say with whatever set Artbox do we'll always have tins they love them - collectors don't Well some do - but most like their collection contained within boxes and binders that they can keep out of light... where are we supposed to keep tins in our minimalist modern luxury apartments

Nienna, I don't know exactly what a lug'ole is .....But I hope it's civil.

[Roz]

lug hole is an ear hole... I don't know where the phrase came from  but obviously it was taken into our language after the Mayflower set sail from Southampton well either that or it got lost along with the British measuring system (yep, a pint is a bit smaller in America...)

[Nienna]

"lug'ole" might even be unique to the part of the UK I live in John ... we do have some strange words in the local dialect believe me!

ear'ole
tab'ole ... are a couple of other versions you'd hear in Derby too!

[kbmum]

Here are the links to Potomac's pre-orders.  They have pictures of the box and the tin:

OOOOOOOO lovely tin lid and imagine what the card will look like!!
The burning question we all want answered now, is just exactly 'what' are the inserts/autos going to be for this set, because too many members got burnt over the previous releases and it's time Artbox got themselves sorted out giving us this information.

Mcgonagall costume card and Hagrid auto card lmao I wish

[Morningangel-Iola]

Cool tin, they seem stuck on red (and Blue though) they could have had one for each champ.

Since Cho Chang and Diggory play important roles, it would be great to get Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff ties.  Plus all 4 heads of houses AND Dumbledore.  Am I asking for the moon?  Probably.  Let's just hope we don't get Chang and Diggory black robes.  

[Morningangel-Iola]

Something from the four houses would be cool.

aaaaaaawwwwwwww!!
Just think Kelly ... the black robes would match all the rest in the set!!!

I would LOVE to finally get decent tie swatches from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff - long overdue IMHO!
Prof McGonagall auto would be lovely, so too a Hagrid auto ... what about a dual auto with him and Madam Maxime .... I'm sure Barty Crouch Snr and Karkaroff will be contenders for an auto card and hopefully Fleur, Cedric and Krum too.
Could you imagine a card with ALL four champs signing it!?! OMG!!

Maybe Mr & Mrs Weasley will sign this time? Bill & Charlie - what about them?

I know, not much hope of that ever happening but it's nice to dream.

[EmmasOneandOnly]

HUFFLEPUFF, GIVE ME SOMETHING HUFFLEPUFF. IS THAT SO HARD TO GIVE ME

Ok, now that I've calmed down. I want a Hufflepuff tie, worn by Cedric (Robert) would be a even better. Got to get something from my house right, and something thats a varient. Never got a vareint duel

Ravenclaw would be nice too seeing as we woudl have one from every house now but I'd perfer, of course, Hufflepuff.

I'd like to see alot more, again, Hufflepuff stuff Like all of Cedrics task uniforms, robes, scraf, etc. Are you with me Anna

I'd like to see some Ravenclaw, as much as Hufflepuff seeing as that would have been me second choice as my house if I wasnt so stuck on yellow and black

Some stuff from Viktor and Fleur. Not big fans but I want something from every task and champ.

A auto of all the champs would be nice, but indivitually because I'd more likely buy Harrys and Cedircs before Viktors and Fluers but I'd settle for a quad .

For props, not really have my heart set on those, big fan of costumes at the moment. But the maze leaves seem  like a good idea seeing as I havent got a leaf from any set prior.

Maybe Sphine fur or something like that. Grinylow scale or gillyweed (posted that before). I'd really like to see something from the dragon. That would make my trading card year
