Hey guys, just wanted to update you on my pack openings. My two update boxes arrived today. The first pack I opened had a Cedric costume card. I know that many of you would probably be disappointed with that pull.......but I am so excited just to pull a costume card. I was pumped just to open a pack with some success. However, I am expecting that will be about my only pull from this box. I have opened ten packs so far, getting this costume and a foil. So I'm really happy already. Ahhh just the love of opening packs.
I really want to open all the packs from both boxes.....but I hesitate because I know as soon as I finish off these two, I'm just going to want to buy several more. LOL. I can see why you are all so addicted. Well, welcome one more to your ranks! I plan on being around for quite a while.
Take care all,
Aaron

Haha, alright........
yes, so after opening those ten packs I layed down to go to bed. Then I decided to open just two more......then just three more. And eventually I just tore into both boxes and finished them off. LOL I just had to know what was in those packs.
So here's the report
Box 1
Cedric Diggory Costume 160/2173
4 Foil Cards
Buckbeak film cell- 682/900 (with emma watson in the cell.....most happy about!)
Box 2
Remus Lupin Jacket 2244/2900 (funny, as their are many hairs stuck to the peice, is this common?)
5 Foil cards
I'm happy that I did not get a dud box. Though I got high numbered costume cards, I am happy that I pulled one from each box. And the film cell thrown in there was nice as well. I'm happy about my purchase and am considering buying a few more to tear through.......but perhaps I will hold off until further sets are relased. What do you guys think of these pulls? Average I assume.
Thanks everyone
Aaron

Sounds like you had fun! At least there were no dud boxes, and you got three inserts out of two boxes, so thats pretty good. I've actually pulled those same two costume cards from my first couple of boxes, and though they are high numbered, there are still only ~2000 in the world so its still kinda cool.
Congrats on the pulls anyway.

Thats great Aaron. They are nice cards even though they are high numbered, and opening the boxes is the most exciting part!! I pulled those costumes out of my boxes too, looking at it from a monetary point of view I am disappointed, but for quality and the excitement of opening packs, I would do it all over again!  |

Yep you are right - the dud boxes must be less common, though I hit a few myself but it doesn't hit you so hard if you are buying on a case scale. I love opening the pack and then peering in to see if it's got a costume/prop/film card in... if so I smile and open it all up. If there's nothing to see (by the thickness of the card) then I open and see if there's an auto to be found  |

My husband and I open the packs and don't peek in. We look at each card and hope the next one will be a costume or prop or auto. Makes it exciting. I guess we all have our ways of doing it, huh?
Emmafan, not sure about the hairs on the costume. I will have to look at mine when I go home.

Maybe you've got some of David Thewlis' hairs on the jacket. Wouldn't that be cool!!!  Hee hee - isn't there some lab in America working on human cloning? You could send them a sample but remember what happened to Hermione with the polyjuice potion in the Chamber of Secrets!!! You might be cloning a REAL werewolf D |

David Thewlis is a fine actor and he did a great job in the movie, but would anyone really want to clone him?  Sorry, he's just not the way I pictured Lupin from reading the books. |

Well he would himself obviously - so he can send his clone to work and he can sit at home doing DIY... or something I know I expected him to be thinner, taller, younger (but look tireder) and not have a moustache.... although I might have missed that in the books. |

His girlfriend is going to have a baby, so maybe he'd want a clone to change diapers! I thought he'd look thinner, much more shabby (they definitely didn't play up the poor angle in the movie) and no moustache. Sirius is described as being much taller than Snape, but Gary Oldman is on the short side. Oh well, you can't have everything! |

Even though you miss out on the small things I think both David and Gary are perfect for the roles of Lupin and Sirius. David struck me by surprise, he was not what I imagined yet he seemed to carry the role perfectly and now I can not even remember the image of Lupin that I had in my head, David did a great job. And Gary Oldman, well what can I say, he was just perfect too I didnt really see any differences between the book and Gary's portrayal of the character, he fitted perfectly into the image of sirius!! |

I think, there will be no trade with Anna. Mike, i should mention that there is "of course" only one card in my set that was found in one of my 10 boxes. The Sleeping Bag. The other cards are all bought from ebay. Hmmm. Or did i pull the Grim Fur? Hmmm. Really, i have forgotten. |

OK, about a month ago I went to the mall to have dinner at Ruby Tuesdays like we always do every two weeks. And thats when I found my first costume card. The Harry Potter Retail Only card. I opened that at the table in the restraunt and didnt even think about it and started to freak when I saw the little piece of clothing. People where stairing at me because I stood up so I quickly sat down after about five minutes of drooling. I showed it to my mom and sister before rolling it up in the pack I got it in and smashing it between two trading cards and hiding in the deep part of my bag. So a month later, February 22, 2005, I go to the mall again for dinner this time at Charleys Grilled Subs for a hot and toasty Philly Cheese Steak  . So I was walking past Suncoast and thought "What the heck, why not seven more *my lucky number*". So, I buy seven more and go off to eat. On the way home I start to open them in the car and what happens to be in the second pack I open.... Geroge Weasleys Quidditch Robe So, know I own both of the Retail Only cards and are proud to add them to my ever growing Harry Potter Card collection Mike |
