Good haul gimli.  
Can I ask how many boxes in a case?  
I know you are tired.  But I bet you like it  

[beckham1]

That is amazing that you can be missing so many of the cards after opening 10 cases :'(

I guess not so many, but I think for opening 100 boxes and no harry or hermione auto (although having a triple auto if there truly are only 25 is amazing).

That is almost a little scary still needing cards for a master set.  You would think anything over 200 print run you would pull from 10 cases.  I wonder how many harry auto's there are.

[Roz]

 I wonder how many harry auto's there are.

Rumours suggest 65 ONLY but I don't know for sure

[beckham1]

65 just sounds like so few for a print run of maybe 1300 cases

Your odds are like 1 in 200 cases.  Just seems way to hard even for harry

[gimli]

wel just had the worst case break 9 inserts only

3 x 35 mm Film cards

Fat Lady auto
Ernie Prang redemption

Marauders Map
Sleeping Bag
Wanted Poster

But only 1 costume
a lupin jacket  :'(

[Accio Wealth]

Just got word from a dealer in the US that there are 1500 cases in the US and 500 in the UK. Not sure how many went to Japan but he did say they were also 300 retail cases. Kinda contradicts what Cards Inc were saying yesterday.

That is one big print run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone else heard any new info?

[gimli]

So after 17 case I am still short the following for a master set

AUTOGRAPHS
Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter)
Emma Watson (Hermione Granger)


PROP CARDS
Buckbeak Feather (390)


COSTUME CARDS

[ztaylork]

WOW!!  Thats crazy!!  I can see possibly the Harry autograph, but the rest, especially the George Weasley costume.  Definetely doesnt' give much hope for getting a master set.  I still think the set is amazing and am very happy with it, but that is crazy!!

ztaylork

[ford-prefect]

i hate to think how much that many cases cost, but after all that you should have all the cards  

[dis-cix]

WOW!!  Thats crazy!!  I can see possibly the Harry autograph, but the rest, especially the George Weasley costume.  Definetely doesnt' give much hope for getting a master set. ztaylork

Yep no autos in the last case whatsoever! Not one! I think it's pap to get that frankly! I know nothing is guaranteed but from 2 to nothing???

It's a beautiful set - the base set is amazing, there's tonnes of nice stuff in here but you are going to have to get used to paying more for what seems like high number costumes and props because they are RIDICULOUSLY hard to pull!

In 4 cases ... no marauders map? No Fizzing wizzbies!! If you have a spare and need anything I have spares of please DO get in contact

[olly]

dis-cix

Do you mean what the incentives are for all the different coloured sets?  

[beckham1]

Wow,
Bad luck on the auto's in the last case, and the first case was strange.  2 of the same auto and 2 wanted poster props # 57 & 58?

Artbox is not very good a packing out there collation seems terrible.

Which is great when it works in your favor, but not cool when you get no auto's.   I myself prefer good collation as I never seem to be lucky enough to benifit from extra inserts (ie LOTR Chrome Case)

How many more cases to go Roz?  Are you going to wait, or do you not have them yet?    

[Roz]

That's it for tonight Becks as 2 cases of mine are coming from Chris (no idea when yet as he might come and visit Cambridge) ... and one from the states

[beckham1]

Roz,
what are your thought on the first four?  
Are you  
Or are you
or :'(

It seems a little undecided yet.  I am a little disappointed to find that the Rupert, Hermione, and Harry auto's are so hard to pull.  And you would expect the triple would be tough.  

I wonder if this set is going to be so difficult to try to put together that most people will give up

If you can't complete a set from 17 cases that is about rediculous.

[beckham1]

Yep no autos in the last case whatsoever! Not one! I think it's pap to get that frankly!

What is pap?

Is that like crap?

[dis-cix]

dis-cix

Do you mean what the incentives are for all the different coloured sets?  

Yes Olly but also what colours there are this time too  

I know there are ( in decreasing order of rarity/price)
Red ( 1 set per 5 cases of binders ? ),  
Blue ( 1 set per 3 cases of binders ? ),
Gold,
Silver

Is there a Green set again or any others ?

dis - still twiddling  thumbs whilst waiting for his 1 case to arrive

[olly]

Hey dis-cix

I have the list as this....

P1 P2 Silver - General Distribution
P3 P4 Silver - In the binders

Gold Set -  2 sets per 5 cases of cards

Red Set - Binder Incentive
Blue Set - Binder Incentive

And I believe there is a Green set, but I have to receive any so aren't really sure what these are for yet.

Hope this helps.

Olly

[morenomark]

Olly, the green set are a binder incentive, too.  I got them today.
(By the way the new binders look as sweet as the pictures would have you believe.)

Roz,  0 autographs is totally unacceptable.  That's just ridiculous.
It's insulting when you've spent all that money and the company can't even be bothered with seeing to it that you at least get the bare minimum.  Artbox needs to have a serious talk with a company like Inkworks, where the odds are stated and that's what you get.  The thrill of not knowing what you're going to get sure is tempered when you get nothing.  That just sucks!
