Yup - there's a pic of the resin box in the price guide

*stamps feet* NO!  *stamps feet*

Sounds like a fantastic set, but there are WAY too many sets I like already this year

*pouts*

Want a Maggie Smith auto though!

[Roz]

Exactly - they are attempting to schedule this for a month after GOFU

Artbox have officially lost it (no matter who's pressing them on this they should have more common sense!)

[tialessa]

I just don't see why this isn't a 2007 release which could include OOTP...

Someone's not thinking straight...

[kbmum]

Maybe they're planning to do this Memorable Moments set and then another one for the last three movies.

I want more info about the costumes and props, but I love the box (even if it's heavy and will cost more to ship) and the auto line-up sounds great.  Some people may not be thrilled with another Hermione auto, but I'm happy to have another chance at getting one.   The McGonagall and Lucius Malfoy autos are long overdue, too.

You know I am Cindy

Are all the costume Dual Costume cards? If so then what would they be? Mostly dual costumes have something in common Or will it be like a Dual Hermione with two Emma swatches

[kbmum]

Right now, that's all the info we have for the set.  We don't even have a confirmed release date.

[Martyn]

I have been told there hoping for an end of May release date

[Bogleg]

Anyone got any idea on who is taking pre-orders and what kind of price ?

[Nienna]

I believe Tom and Chris might be taking pre-orders thoguh I can't recall how much boxes/cases would cost, sorry.

[gimli]

sorry everyone i will not be taking pre orders as I am worried that due to allocation i will not be able to fulfil orders when it is released

[Nienna]

Thanks for clarifying the situation for us Chris!

This looks like an exciting set (obvious statement of the year). Huge kudos to Artbox for being able to get Maggie Smith and Eric Sykes to sign! The one thing I noticed was the DE auto/costumes...

1. Don't we already get these in GoFU?
2. Exactly how many DE items are there?

The signers list looks fabulous, but if we have say, 200 premium autos (Hermy, McG, Lucius, Sykes) and 500 DEs, I don't think very many collectors will be impressed, especially if they are pretty much replicated from the GoFU set. Also, as this is a premium set, box prices will be significantly higher. I don't fancy paying $80-90 (my speculation of the price) for a box only to get a duplicate. All this is purely speculation on my part, so I do hope I ma wrong

Other than that - bring it on!

[ArwenEvenstar]

Just got word from tom that cases are at $680. Ive ordered 1 case as with those resin boxes, shipping to Australia is going to be huge. 

[ferdinand_the_yak]

I'd only buy from dealers you trust as well - with 375 cases, allocation for this set will be very tight and many pre-sells may not be able to deliver if they don't get allocated what they've ordered.

And get in quick! (So says FTY with the Aussie case secured )

[EmmasOneandOnly]

If it is a duplicate of GoF, GoFU, SS, and PoA then I don't think many people and collectors will continue to buy it. I'm buying one box as I do with every Potter set but this will be to see how it is and if I'll buy more but I agree with you Jo. I'd have to pay almost 100 dollars, when all you'll be paying for is the box and print run, and get the same cards over and over But if like you just said that it'll go fast then I'll have to see what the set has to offer other then the Emma auto for me

[blackcat20]

. Some people may not be thrilled with another Hermione auto, but I'm happy to have another chance at getting one.

me too! Haven't got a hope in hell of picking up one of the earlier ones, so this is a second (or third) chance 

Very relieved the Aussie case is secured, but not looking forward to those postages costs...the resin box better be worth it.

[EmmasOneandOnly]

...the resin box better be worth it.

Definitely

[ferdinand_the_yak]

The thing is, it will be difficult to buy one box, go, 'I really like it, let's get another' if the set is in as much demand as I think it will be. Once on the open market, I think  prices will go nuts and you'd be looking at paying perhaps maybe even double the pre-sell. If we are looking at $70 pre-sell, I can imagine it could go up to $100 at the very least. So it's a gamble - get in now with a big order and have more chance of getting what you want BUT risk spending a fortune if it bombs OR buy a box now and have no chance of getting more if you decide to get some more later.

Argh. decisions, decisions
