[Roz]

Just a quick note to consolidate all the info we have so far:



6,000 boxes (600 cases in total) worldwide


EACH BOX CONTAINS 24 PACKS

14 Autos (3 will be available through redemption cards)

Gary Oldman ... Sirius Black
Jeff Rawle ... Amos Diggory
Devon Murray ... Seamus Finnigan
Robert Pattinson ... Cedric Diggory
Stanislav Ianevski ... Viktor Krum
Miranda Richardson ... Rita Skeeter
Brendan Gleeson ... Professor Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody
Tiana Benjamin ... Angelina Johnson
Henry Lloyd-Hughes ... Roger Davies
Warwick Davis ... Professor Flitwick
Pedja Bjelac ... Igor Karkaroff
Shirley Henderson ... Moaning Myrtle

14 Costumes

Champion Harry Costume (still in product or now the 2 case incentive card?)
Champion Fleur Costume
Champion Cedric Costume
Champion Crumb Costume
Rita Skeeter Costume
Dumbledore's silk robe
Barty Crouch Jr. Costume
Hermione Costume
Death Eater Shroud x/250
Karkaroff Yule Ball costume x/800
Beauxbatons costume x/800
Krum costume x/700

NB Some of these costumes will be fabric 'as used to make costumes' rather than screen worn fabric. This is because some items will be used in future films or are being kept by Warner Bros for other use. The cards will be clearly marked to show if they are 'screen worn' or not in the description on the back of the card

12 Props

Bulgarian Flag x/300
Burnt tent (UK 2 case incentive?)
Dragon Canopy
Dragon bag (from the first task)
Yule ball hanging (Silver drapery)
Yule ball programme
Yule ball poster
Dark Forces Book
Trial Chamber Paperwork
Quidditch World Cup program x/205


INCENTIVE CARDS

2 Case Incentive   :  Daniel as Harry (1st task under-jacket) Costume
UK 2 case incentive card   :  Burned Tent Prop (It's unclear at this time whether this means that the UK will get the Harry costume or not, only time will tell.)
5 Case Incentive    : Death Eater Costumes
10 Case Incentive   :  Monolith Trophy
25 Case Incentive   :  Death Eater Wands

(There also appears to be some tin case incentive card too.)

Other odds and sods

9 filmcards, each card x/300
3 Lenticular case toppers
4 different box toppers
9 foil chase

Odds are apparently:

(per case approx - actual insertion rate will vary - numbers here cover entire production run, unlike other manufacturers Artbox are incapable of guaranteeing anything )

10 costume cards (this was promised for SS but then was revoked, we shall have to wait and see on this one)

3 Prop Cards

5 Auto Cards

3 Film Cards

1 Lenticular Case Card

Thanks, Roz.  This is much easier to read than going through 27 pages of the other GOF thread!

I thought the word was approx. 3 props per case

[Roz]

Well spotted - cheers.

For you TIN collectors, there will be two different TIN designs. There will be a Case card for the TINs. I don't know if there are two different case cards. That would be too much to expect but, you never know. I am wondering if this case card is different from the usual TIN card inside the TIN? The information is the usual foggy stuff that is released.

Here's a PIX of one TIN:




You'd think if they really wanted to sell them there would be more publicity.

[rns91294]

Thanks for the picture.  I really like the tins.

Is there a retail set being made for this too?  And will there be costumes?

Oh, and Roz listed 8 props in the first message.  There will be 9 in the product, so is the 9th the one in the last sell sheet we have seen, but aren't sure what it is?  Or is that the book?

[LikORish-Spider]

According to HWMNBN,  , The RETAIL boxes will not, repeat, NOT have different foil chase cards in them. That means we will not have the usual M1-M9 set of foils to complement the Hobby R1-R9 foils. So, if any of you have ordered Retail boxes with the idea of getting M1-M9 foils, you might verify with your supplier and cancel them. I did.

[rns91294]

But will there be retail costumes made like for the PoAU update?

[Roz]

Nothing's very accurate yet, it also says "pack inserted props" and "Pack inserted costumes" but we have also heard that those are incentives, so we'll leave it as it is - there'll be more info nearer the time I expect

[kbmum]

The sad fact is, Artbox has never divulged the full lineup prior to release, unlike other companies who post checklists on their websites.  Rittenhouse has a big Star Trek Art & Images set coming out on Nov. 16, and the complete checklist is already on their site.  We won't know about all of the GOF inserts until the first of us receive our boxes/cases and start posting breakdowns.

To paraphrase a classic movie: "Dang you Artbox! Dang you all to heck!"

I sent this e-mail to
HWMNBN:
Am I correct in assuming that the  Retail boxes will not have any Box toppers, Case Toppers or any other Premium cards like Costumes or Props that aren't already included in the Hobby boxes?
John

The Response:
YES THAT IS TRUE NOTHING ELSE THAT IS WHY I CANCELED MY ORDER.


So, plainly, the Retail box is for pack sales to base card set collectors.

[rns91294]

Thanks!

Inkworks posts their inserts ahead of time too. 

I must say that I do kind of like not knowing what is in there for the surprise factor, but knowing ahead of time would also help me decide what I want to buy.  Without knowing, i need to keep it to a minimum, just in case.

[kbmum]

I wonder how popular, in general, the retail boxes are?  Without foils or any kind of chase cards, I can't imagine that too many people would be interested in them.

I would think they would still have the retail foils, at least. Maybe the lack of retail boxes for the SS set changed their mind I, too, wonder how many non-collectors would be willing to buy a pack or two of the retail version at stores.

[rns91294]

To be fair, before I knew about these cards, I saw the retail PoA packs at Hot Tpic.  My husband and I started buying them to make a full set.  Then, one day on good ol'  , my husband found Hermiones pink top card, and we realized it was from the makers of the cards we had been buying....and to think, we would get excited when we pulled a foil......but now that I learned about the hobby version, I would never buy retail packs without the chance of a costume or something special in it.

I mean, Artbox did the special cards in the retail for CatCF, as well as the PoAU.  Without them, I don't know who would want to buy them, except for thsoe who know nothing about costume/prop/auto cards.....

[kbmum]

Does anyone know what the price is for a retail GOF box?  Maybe Artbox is making them for stores like Wal-Mart and Target.

[rns91294]

I jusy found one website that shows the hobby box being $69.99 and retail is $49.99.  Both seem a bit high.

My story is somewhat similar except I found them on Warp9 webpage, first. I think Wendi was buying some Stargate cards. I, then, went to ebay and found out more info. Since I was in Japan, I went to the Isetan that had the PoA Event and bought a pack. When I got back to the house, I did some research and found out there was a retail AND hobby verision. I had gotten a retail pack. Quite a few hobby boxes later, it remains to be the only retail pack that I have ever bought

[Morningangel-Iola]

Well I have instructed mum that if she helps me I want a Rita Skeeter or a Sirius Black

Mean about the retail boxes
