Hi guys, we heard rumours about this before but rather imagined it had gone on the backburner... we were wrong! Harry Potter Goblet of Fire Trading Card Factory Sets releasing this week.Limited to 1000 sets. The RRP will be £29-99 and each boxed factory set includes : 80 Card Basic Set 8 Embossed Art Cards 4 Foil Triwizard Cards This is a wholly new series and bears no relation to any other series that has been released worldwide And some images follow -  Some art cards   Two of the character cards  Two of the heat revealz champion cards (awesome - heat reveal cards were supposed to be in the Topps FOTR retail set but never made it through)  And some of the Story (base) cards     The design of the back of the story cards

OMG!  This set is amazing! I would love to get a few boxes of this! Do you know the ratios for the the cards? Is it possible to get base in one box etc etc. Thanks for the info Roz!

I believe it's a factory set - so yes, everything should be in the one box

Two of the heat revealz champion cards (awesome - heat reveal cards were supposed to be in the Topps FOTR retail set but never made it through)  Awsome  I will definitely have to get a box of this. To bad they don't have costumes and props like the Artbox set because this is definitely more beautifully done. Plus, this one has Heat Reavelz

£24.99 - sorry not sure what that is in dollars  Depends on the exchange rate .... if it's £1.00 = $1.72US, then it works out to roughly $43.00US which in turn is probably rounded up to $45.00. Don't quote me as Gospel on this, I'm just doing a very rough conversion based on recent £ to $US rates.  Lovely set isn't it!?  Ohhh and don't forget post and packing on top of that figure ...

Is it just me or does Dan look incredibly short in the Disturbance at the Campsite card  Also some of the pictures don't look familiar - could they be deleted scenes

Oh I don't think there's any element of chance on this set Mike - you're buying the complete set ... inserts ... everything for that price! I imagine that if any people manage to get hold of them to resell in the US then they will probably charge more than $45 ... I don't mean dealers/distributors either, I mean private individuals.  Sharon - these might contain images which will be used in the GOFU set!

This site seems to be a pretty good source for exchange rates: http://www.xe.com/ucc/$44.08 at the moment you were right in there.

I imagine you'll be able to find them in the states for just under $50. Still not a bad deal on what looks like a very nice factory set. Ed

Great, I got my order for some in and have popped one up on ebay (see Diagon Alley).
I think Ed's right, the price will be just under $50
