THANK YOU THANKS

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I GET EMMA WATSON CARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ArwenEvenstar]

wow! my opinion has totally changed about this set. I am sooooooo glad that we get a Moaning Myrtle auto..and another Sirius Black.  Im definetely getting 2 cases!

The new swatch design is cool and really gives it more of a medieval feel. I also think that somehow it makes the swatch look bigger, although I bet it's the same size great illusion!

[kbmum]

the picture of the Barty Crouch Jr. prop card makes me think of some baaaaaaaaaad 80's wardrobe.

Maybe it is!  The costume might be from the pensieve scene when Crouch Jr. was on trial for torturing the Longbottoms in 1981.

Does anyone know what the Monolith Trophy is?  I can't remember that term in the book.  Is it presented to the winner of the Quidditch World Cup or the Triwizard Tournament?  I've sent an email to Artbox, but they might not know.

I could be completly off on this, especially since I have not read the books...but I was under the impresion it was just one of MANY trophies in the Trophy Room...because of the fact that it is so big (or so it looks) it will stick out on film pretty well (hopefully) I believe each little plate on there is a different award and they just filled up the trophy with different awards. But then again, I haven't even read the books...so that is my shot in the dark

There is a picture somewhere of Harry in a trophy room.  I'll have to find it.

**********

Well, I can't find that picture, but I did find this:



Some of the plates read:

Class of 1984

Seeker of the Year 1983

So, it must be a Hogwarts trophy.

Oh My!!  I Love the new swatch design!!

And for Sirius's auto, is the picture going to be his head in the fire?  That is all he has in this movie, right?

[kbmum]

In an interview, Gary Oldman said that the only thing he does in this movie is talk in a fire.  The picture on the card would have to be the fireplace scene.

SEE GUYS, YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A LITTLE FAITH. ARTBOX CANNOT AFFORD TO LET THIS LICENSE GO DOWN HILL..(THEY WOULD LOOSE TO MUCH MONEY AND HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING OTHERS.) STILL IT DOES BOTHER ME HOW THEY LET JUST A LITTLE INFO AT A TIME OUT. THE GARY OLDMAN AUTO REALLY MAKES ME HAPPY AND THERE MIGHT BE A FEW MORE SUPRISES AT THE VERY END.

[Roz]

There have to be Sixpence, it's really not that exciting as yet is it?

[darthmactor]

I have to agree; I mean, Gary Oldman and Brendan Gleeson as signers is nice, but we still haven't found out a whole lot about props, and only a few things about costume cards, so, no, as of yet, it's not really that exciting.

[rns91294]

I was considering upping my order of 4 boxes to 5, but then I remembered there will be an update set.  I might have to wait for that set to get more boxes with.  I mean, if I knew more about the props and costumes in this set......then maybe....but they don't tell us enough info!!!!

With 4 boxes, I could get 1-2 autos, hopefully 1 prop and 1 filmcell, and 4 costumes, right?  I mean, if there is a prop, then you still get a costume, right?  Or is it back to one prop OR costume per box?

[darthmactor]

One prop OR costume per box? Oh, didn't you hear? Taking a page from Topps E-card book, Artbox is putting cards with PICTURES of prop, costume, or auto cards in it boxes; when you get one, you know you have it at Artbox HQ, safe and sound, in pristine condition.  (for those just waking up this morning, yes, I'm joking  )

[sixpence33]

  WATCH OUT DARTHMACTOR! ARTBOX MIGHT JUST DO THAT!

[kbmum]

Each case will have 10 costumes (one per box), 5 autos, 3 props, and 3 filmcards.  Please note that this is not a GUARANTEE, just the stated odds.  Artbox will not guarantee the distribution in any box or case.

[rns91294]

So I know this is not a guarantee, but basically, lets just say that a case does indeed contain these cards..  That would be 21 cards in each case...so we should hopefully see 9 boxes with two inserts, and 1 with 3.....that would be great!

[darthmactor]

That's like saying, "You're Mixed Oreos Bag will have 10 Regular, 5 Mint, 3 Butterscotch & 3 Chocolate, but if your bag of Mixed Oreos has no Oreos in it, too bloody bad, we never promised you'd get those cookies in it."

Exactly!   Even if you get a dud box, you'll still have lots of base cards and some foil cards.  That's worth $50-$60, right?
