This auction has all four promo cards.  The listing gives print runs (or maybe just the amount distributed at San Diego Comic Con):

Promo #1     500
Promo #2     500
Promo #3     100
Promo #4     050

Has anyone heard anything about this?  This is the first time I've seen promo #4.  Here's the auction:

I've seen that auction too and to be honest, i don't believe the print runs for the rarer ones.  Roll Eyes

I agree with Tower, only 50 of Promo #4 doesn't sound right at all. Roll Eyes

They handed out promo 4 on Sunday to each of the 50 people in line for the Harry Potter Goodie Bags.  The people who worked at the display said they were only handing it out to the people in line and wouldn't be giving it to anyone else.  That is probably where they got their "50" number from.  I don't know about the 3rd one though.  They were handing that one out early in the morning but weren't giving it out by the late afternoon, so they may have limited it.

Good explanation. But of course they talked about normal people, normal collectors who got them for free. For example the distributors became ever complete promo packs and i'm sure, this set won't be different. There will be more than 50, maybe not hundreds more, but more.  Roll Eyes

Exactly, when I added the cards to the price guide I ignored those values, perhaps that is the number of promos out there at this stage, but 3 and 4 will probably be in the binder or something and 1 and 2 will be sent out through distributors - this is guess work as there may be an NSU promo etc Smiley

We must play the waiting game Smiley

So before I go into serious panic mode do you reckon it is worth paying silly money for the 3/4 promos or do you reckon there will be a few knocking around later on  Huh

I'm almost sure there will be enough good chances later.

Question about promo 4: in the price guide, it says Harry enters Mad Eye Moody's Office.  How did you know that it was Moody's office?  For some reason, I thought it was Dumbledore's, since you can see the bird staircase behind Harry that he used in COS.  Do all the teacher's offices have one?

Hmmmmmmmm I did it all on my own without discussing it with other fans, it may well be Dumbedore's office, but I took all those mechanical machines to be all Mad Eye's trinkets. He had lots of trinkets stacked up looking out for dark wizards approaching... what's the verdict everyone? It was the only location I could think of Sad

I think I am voting with jfer21 on this one.  It does look like Dumbledores office (as seen in the extras on the DVD).  I sort of got the impression Mad Eyes stuff would be a bit more messy and disorganised  Undecided

Yes but DDs office is not always DDS office it was the astronomy tower in POA Roll Eyes (and the same room was used for DADA and Divination)

Although looking it does look like DDs office and see the massive bird behind him does that have anything to do with anything?

Also where is he here?

Just to confirm guys that the promo set currently available  is silver. I know one seller put their name in red over the foil causing some temporary confusion Smiley

So do we assume that it will just be retro sets with gold foil? We'll have to wait for the first CoS foil to be sure Smiley

The seller with only 5 feedback  Undecided sold that first set for $62 and now has 2 more sets up - starting at 99 cents and BIN $100... crumbs!

How come he got so many? It makes them look less rare for sure

Roz, you can delete these pix if they are somewhere else.
Oops--  Thanks Anna, I put them in the correct order.
I still need to correct my photobucket page.
