Yea she was only in the first film because there was some sort of dispute about her coming back for COS...I think it was about $$ if I remember correctly

Yeah, and rather than replacing her they just cut the character Madam Hooch out... odd!
I think she was just outraged at the poor pay everyone's getting in comparison to what Warner Bros. are raking in. Can't say I blame her!

And, so consequently a lot of the quidditch was able to be cut out as well, so it seems. Shame because it is so much of the story. |

I'm kinda of disappointed that they haven't gotten an Alan Rickman or Robbie Coltrane auto yet. Was hoping COS would have them. Any one know why they haven't done one yet. Not even a Snape's costume card. Very disappointing.

The actors have to agree to sign and Warner Bros. give Artbox the costumes Warner Bros. want to give out and most costumes are used over. Snape's outfit hasnt changed much from the 4 films.

My guess (and it is only a guess) is that Alan Rickman doesn't want the costumes he has worn to be used. The only reason I think this is that some actors are very protective of everything to do with their image ie Christopher Lee with the sketch cards. It could be because he always wears the same thing but even if the costume changes very little I am sure the studio would have a lot of them made as 'just in casers'  |

If I remember correctly we had a thread where we spoke about this before, but Alan Rickman is SUPER protective about his image being used.

Tom Breyer/tomunique and Potomac Distribution are accepting pre-orders. I'm sure there are others, as well.
By the way, no ship date has been confirmed, but Potomac is listing it as December 31.

Thanks for that I had a look at Potomac Distribution's website but they have a warning about paying import tax that apparently can be quite expensive here in the United Kingdom, so I went for the Collector Zone which has a release date for 22nd Dec, but I am guessing it will be more likely to be January. |

Even if you get hit with everything they can throw at you it will still probably be cheaper than buying from the UK. Plus you will receive the cards quicker  . Well so much for a pre-Christmas release date  |

The last we had heard, back in November, was that the set would ship before the end of the year. Hopefully, we'll find out this week what the actual ship date will be.
Neville's grandmother's costume would have made an excellent costume card!

There is no separate UK release. Artbox ships all of its cases over a period of a few days, sometimes staggering the shipments (UK, US East Coast, US central, then US West Coast) and sometimes not. But, it's all the same release.

True, but the problem was with the sole distributor in the UK, not Artbox. I'm pretty sure that there weren't such long delays with the other HP sets. When POAU was released, the first person to have the cards on eBay was a UK seller.

That is true. I didn't get any MM boxes (Although I have a lovely base set thanks to Sharon ), was there much delay there? |
