what happened to 10 costumes per case and 2 autos percase some had no autos and itsalways 7 and below with the costumes, Artbox have made a Balls out of this!

[Roz]

Muahahahahahaha

At you all for not believing me when I reported it would only be one costume or prop per box.

Damn I wish I wasn't right!

(I have a feeling the down damn might be more 18 rated in the USA than it is over here... so I should make the forum recognise from your IP that you are in America and censor it to darn... at the moment we just are not that clever... sorry!)

Well, after struggling with UPS, I received one of my cases. Here is the breakdown, I was kinda depressed, but then I looked up the buckbeak feather. Let me know what you guys think.


Case Topper: Buckbeak&Harry

Autos: Dawn French (only one in this case :'()

Costume Cards:
Lupin's Jacket
Draco's Robe
Harry's Cardigan
Hermione's Pants
Hermione's Sweater
Harry's Quidditch
Diggory's Quidditch


Prop Card:
Sleeping Bag
Unfogging the Future


Creature card:
Buckbeak's Feather

2 Film Cards

Hi Becka,

I think that was an ok case, sure you only got one auto, but you did get buckbeaks feather, and a good range of inserts. At least you didnt get double's of anything, it could be worse and you could have got 4 harry's quiddich costumes in the one case or something like that!!   Let us know how u go with your other cases

[beckham1]

yeah, I have to agree the buckbeak feather, hermione sweater, hermione pants, and draco robe all /730 or less.  The French auto also a pretty good one, but it would have been nice to at least get the second auto, so I can understand that.

[beckham1]

Also I don't know if everyone noticed but the packs have odds printed on them:

Chase cards 1:5 packs
Costume or Prop cards 1:24 packs
Cinema Film cards 1:80 packs
Autograph Cards 1:120 packs

Of course it states the standard disclaimer and no insert ratio guaranteed to exist in a box or case.

So out of 288 packs per case
10 prop or costume
3-4 Cinema cards per case (every other case should have 4 cinema cards)
2-3 autos per case (so I guess 1 in about every 3 cases should have a third auto)

[Tea_and_Fruit]

Yeah but it seems that Artbox can not even guarantee for the 8 Basic Cards per pack. In addition the Ratio applies to the hole print run, so no wonder we can found 5 autos in 1 Case and 0 autos in another.

 

It seems to be simpler for Artbox to make the Ratio for the hole print run than to guarantee the inserts per Box.

I think in such a way could Aertbox more boxes produce and sell  :'(

well i just got my monster book of monsters cards

and i thought i would show you all they actually are the thickest cards i have ever seen

[beckham1]

Why are the monster cards rather dark swatches it would seem they would be lighter like the second top right card?

[gimli]

Well yes the book looks lighter than the swatches I think it maybe a case that the photo is photographed in a way that makes it look lighter

The swatch you see top right has a wood grain effect but feels rubbery

and the swatch bottom right has hair smoth skin like material and the edge of some gold lettering

all in all a nice set of cards

[morenomark]

Those are n-i-c-e.

[Roz]

oh no.....my ears, THEIR BURNING! Where is a moderator when you need one?? such language!!

Quite right - my ears are indeed burning too - you meant THEY ARE  BURNING

[Tea_and_Fruit]

So far, I am still waiting on my 3 boxes.  Which really is crap since my chances at good cards are more rare than if I bought a case (might buy some more boxes tomorrow though).  With all the customes, they could have made less boxes and kept the odds at 1 costume per box, 3 props per case and so on.  I think we would have all been more happy with those odds.
