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

I would love to pull one from my boxes.

[EmmasOneandOnly]

I pulled my first card from a retail box

Thanks for the info Roz

[LikORish-Spider]

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.

You can probably take it to the bank that people who are used to premum cards  and M-Series foils a la POA, POAU and CATCF will be filling up Artbox's ears with some unpleasant words.
They are missing a bet by not inserting these Retails boxes with some different foils and Props. Let's face when teir biggest customer cancels the oder it had to get their attention.

I was just looking at one of the info pages Roz posted on page 1 of this thread.  They say there will be a Krum costume and I just assumed it would be one of his Triwizard uniforms, but they show his Yule Ball coat in the picture.  So far we've seen Harry and Fleur's Triwizard costumes at SDCC, but nothing about Cedrick.  Please don't tell me that Victor and Cedrick's costume cards won't be thier Triwizard uniforms.  That would bum me out.

[EmmasOneandOnly]

Me too Kelly, I want to get a piece of the Triwizard Uniforms from all four of them

[darthmactor]

Well, if they don't have a cedric and krum tournement outfit for this one, they will probably have it for the update, as a way of garuntee-ing those who want one from each TW champion outfit comes back for more. 

[grecopa]

Oh yeah, I didn't think about that.  Very sneaky. 

[LikORish-Spider]

Did you notice that Fleur didn't show up on the Autograph list yet either? Maybe she'll sign up for the Update set.

[darthmactor]

I certainly hope so! 

[EmmasOneandOnly]

I certainly hope so!

ME TOO

Meh, it wouldn't bother me to not have a Triwizard Costume for each in this set, but Artbox better put the remaining ones in the update set I'm really looking forward to the Yule Ball stuff (watch that'll be the low numbered cards ). My mouth dropped when I saw the Yule Ball WB Webpage.

By the way, the Mini Dragon Bag pictured in the first "SOLD OUT" advert from Artbox has a big white "M" on it. Looking at the New Japanese Products, they have added a similar bag, and the print on it is from the Ministry of Magic Just thought it would be interesting bit of information ...

Per email from Artbox, here are the cards pictured on the announcments:

10/05 announcement:  Harry's costume card and Barty Crouch costume card

10/19 announcement:  First Task Dragon Canopy Prop card and Trial Chamber Paperwork Prop card

[rns91294]

Thanks for that info.  So the dragon canapy.  Kind of odd picture they used for it...you can't even see it!!!

And I guess the Trial Chamber Paperwork Prop card (which I like the picture on the card) is the 9th prop card that we can now add to the list.  That means no Daily Prophet for this set.  I know there could be one in the update, but PoA had one for each set.

I am really sad that there are not super thrilling props in this set.  I think I want the Trial Chamber and Dark Forces book ones, and my luck, those will be numbered to 100.

Per email from Artbox, here are the cards pictured on the announcments:

10/05 announcement:  Harry's costume card and Barty Crouch costume card

10/19 announcement:  First Task Dragon Canopy Prop card and Trial Chamber Paperwork Prop card

Thanks for the update, kbmum I saw a similar picture of Barty Crouch Jr. at the Hogwart's Galleries, but I can't seem to find it anymore. The part of this costume is the dress shirt that he's wearing in the picture. It's hard to see on the card. Also, I hope Harry's Costume isn't the incentive

I think it's weird that that Trail Chamber Paperwork Prop is using a picture of the Trial Chamber instead of the paperwork. Perhaps, it's like the SS Letter Props, and they got many different Pieces of Paperwork

You're probably right rns, those cards will be limited I wouldn't give up on the Daily Prophet, yet. I would be ashamed if I were Artbox and didn't have one in both sets. I think the GOF book has used the Daily Prophet the most because of Rita Skeeter.

[rns91294]

I like Harry's costume so hope it is not an incentive as well.  But if it is, I hope is prices on eBay are similar to the Hermione UK case incentive.

I do like Barty's swatch.  Neat looking colors.

I also am surprised the paperwork picture was not used, but the Trial Chamber pic looks pretty neat, IMHO.

[kbmum]

And I guess the Trial Chamber Paperwork Prop card (which I like the picture on the card) is the 9th prop card that we can now add to the list.  That means no Daily Prophet for this set.

Not necessarily.   Artbox said there would be nine props inserted in the set.  Here's what we have so far:

Bulgarian Flag
Burnt tent (UK 2 case incentive?)
Dragon Canopy
Dragon bag
Yule ball hanging
Yule ball programme
Yule ball poster
Dark Forces Book
Trial Chamber Paperwork

That comes up to nine cards, but the tent is probably a UK case incentive.  That would leave one unknown prop.  I really hope it's the Daily Prophet with Rita's article about Harry.

[gbream111]

This set sounds awesome... and its copnfirmed there will be an emma costume(hermione)!

[rns91294]

I bet it will be her pink dress from the Yule Ball.

[kbmum]

To recap, we have now accounted for:

• all 12 autos
• 7 or 8 of the 12 costumes (depending whether there is a pack-pulled Harry costume)
• 8 or 9 of the 9 props (depending whether the burnt tent is pack-pulled or case incentive)

[EmmasOneandOnly]

** They better give me Emma's pink Ball Dress **

I'm really disappointed with the props. This is one set I'm just going for Autos and Costumes. I really hope they give us a fate for the update as we head into 2006 because I will definitely get more more than one box if its better then this
