Hey hey hey

i did NOT recieve the cases from Olly till today :'(

Wonder why the USA Case is faster in shipping then the 2 Cases from Olly  (UK)



 

They should be with you soon...unless they are held up in customs.
If they are I will hear Monday and can update you.

Please email me off board in future.

It's all swings and roundabouts with postage and distribution T&F, look at poor RNS without her boxes and she's in the US, home of Artbox!

Thanks for thinking of me Roz!!  Yup, still no boxes.  Apparently, if you read Diamond Comics site, they only ship once a week for Wednesday delivery.  I still don't know if they have them or not, and if they will be shipping to my store this week or not.  I have a bad feeling which is why I plan to get a box at the card show tomorrow.   And here, ordering from a local shop, I thought I might have them before everyone else, and now it looks like I may be last

Bought 6 boxes....opened 5 so far.   Here are my box breakdowns. I've over in the U.S. by the way.
Completed the Box Topper set in the first 4 boxes, so was pretty happy with that.

Box 1
Cornelius Fudge Coat  776/830

Box 2
35mm Lupin & Dementor 150/900 (cells are of Snape)
Diggory Quidditch 2041/2173

Box 3
35mm Harry & Snape 587/900  (cells of Trelawney standing in front of class)
Longbottom Cloak (593/1170

Box 4
Daily Prophet prop 123/480

Box 5 (best so far...good for pulling different types of chase cards)
35mm Soaring on Buckbeak 82/900  (cells are of Snape standing in doorway)
Percy Weasley auto  (happy to at least get one)
Harry Cardigan  220/2173

A couple of questions though.....Is there a site where you can see a detailed copy of the Daily Prophet???  It would be nice to where my prop card was cut from.  And the Film cards; are there 900 in total, or 900 for each picture type???

[rns91294]

I think there is 900 per film card, not total.    Not sure about the DP picture though.  Good pull!!  I hope my 3 boxes, and the one or two I buy tomorrow turn out as good.

[rns91294]

Wow! Great case.  I remember from the first set when I got a costume and auto in the same pack.  I was so happy over the costume that i was shocked to look down and see the next card was an auto.   It is a great feeling  

Maybe you could post a picture of that variant for us all to see

Two more boxes to go, but they haven't arrived yet.  They're a Christmas present, so I have a while to wait to open them.

[rns91294]

6 inserts in 3 boxes is great!!!  Watch, I will get 3 inserts in my 3 boxes.  I think I need to buy more.

That Unfogging the future card is really nice.  I would say it is an E, and I think it is the E from "future".
