Oh dear, anyone seen how much the Resin boxes are going for on ebay?. Over $140 for a Resin box! they were being sold for $75-80 before  . I expected the "regular" cardboard boxes would go down a bit but they didn't. I seriously hope this set does make up for the amount of money we're all going to spend on it  .

The resin boxes were being sold for $75-$80 before we found out that there would be only one resin box per case, and from what I can see on eBay, many dealers still don't know about the change. There are going to be a lot of disappointed buyers who will expect resin, but receive a regular box, and there's nothing the dealers can do about it.

I understand that the Resin boxes are (now) limited to 375 and that makes them rare/more valuable but $140-$180 for a resin box  ? That's almost twice what the cardboard boxes are selling for. I know what you mean, I'm one of those that will be dissapointed if the inserts aren't worth the $80+ i paid for a not-Resin-anymore box.

That's the pre-order from one dealer right now. In two or three months, the boxes might be less expensive or people who have them might want to sell the empty ones.

I really hope so Cindy  , I'd love to have one of those boxes, even an empty one would be nice  .

I am still unsure about what exactly the resin boxes will contai I am still hoping they will be a little special and not just have the same cards as we will find in the normal boxes. I cant understand why we would pay more for a resin box even if there are only 375 of them. My boxes will all be sold empty.

I agree about the boxes. The resin box sounds nice, but I buy these things for the cards not the boxes LOL

Still, I think I'd like to have one resin box for my Harry Potter collection. Although the prices are scaring the daylights out of me.  Frankly, I really wouldn't be all that surprised if the only thing special about the resin box is the box itself and the inserts are basically the same as the regular boxes. I do think it would be great, though, if the resin boxes held some especially special cards.

Oh, I don't know. We're going to have a lot of cards that are very limited as it is, particularly the props. I'd hate to think that there is even one card available only in the resin boxes.

I'd like to have at least a shot at pulling everything. I just meant that maybe the resin boxes would have one of the double props or something special like that AND have more inserts.

Like I say it is very exciting . I was thinking more along the lines that the resin boxes might have an extra premium card in a noticable way and not a stealth way as in GOFU where we had 9 boxes with 2 inserts and then one box with 3 premium cards. At least this way you would know roughly what you were getting making it worth paying the little extra. I say bring on the cases and lets have a look. Rest assured my breakdowns will be on here first as soon as they are open.

WOO HOO !!!!!!!!!!! My case was delivered about 1 hour ago !!!! All dealers etc. have been asked to not show scans or start auctions until tomorrow and I will honor that ... however -- I can state that these are GORGEOUS cards ..... the base cards IMO are by far the nicest Artbox has done for HP and they are totally different than all the other sets ....... the presentation from the box to the cards is very nice .... And there are only 3750 boxes as previously stated .... I'll ask for opinions on whether or not I can pass along any other information today or whether I should wait until tomorrow ... I will say that I have cracked all 11 regular boxes and am currently debating on whether to crack the resin box packs or just sell it like it is on  .... ron

12:01 what time zone?  (Since I don't want to get in trouble either). I got mine yesterday and have already cracked the whole case and I was just about to ask the same thing. I have to say I'm pretty happy with my pulls. It didn't seem to me that the resin box had anything more special than the other 9. I did think it was interesting that the other 9 boxes were more like the poster set type and not the usual cardboard ones I was expecting.

My resin box had two inserts (one dual). My dealer never actually told me not to put pictures up, I just read it on the board and was following what everyone else was saying.
