Chamber of Secrets Set

[Guest]

[Bitsy]

I'm in for a midnight Yak Party!!!!!!!!!!!!    Could be the best New Year's Eve to date!

WOOHOO A MOLLY AUTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hurrah!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for she and Arthur!!!!!!!! AND DOBBY!!!!!!!!!  Dang, now I wish I had pre-ordered more boxes.     Too bad my wallet won't let me. 

[ECL]

It really does seem like this set is packed with goodies!  I kind of wish I saved my money for this set instead of the MM set.  I can still drool over the ones I see online though

[kbmum]

Is it me, or are there more cards to get in this set than in previous sets, or am I'm just imagining it!?

It's a big set.  POAU has 20 autos, 23 costumes, and 12 props (including the creature cards).  COS has 16 autos, 18 costumes, and 13 props.

A green Draco robe.  I frickin' knew it!    Time to sell the MM Quidditch sweater on ebay.  Last chance if anyone wants it.
I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing Ginny's pink costume card.  But kind of dissapointed about Lockhart's costume being brown. 

[kbmum]

This set has Lily and James Potter autos.  When do they appear in COS?  I'm drawing a blank.  The International Movie Database lists them for the movie, but as uncredited.

[grecopa]

They were in a photograph maybe?  And what does (double) mean next to each of thier names in the auto list?  If it was a double auto wouldn't that just count as one card?

[kbmum]

I missed that.  Maybe they're dual auto/costume cards.

[kbmum]

Someone on a Yahoo Groups HP movie group said they were in the first scene of the movie.  Harry is looking at the photo album Hagrid gave him and sure enough, there are James, Lily, and baby Harry!



I wonder if that's the picture Artbox will use on the card?  If so, I love it!

[Sharon]

That's stretching it a bit though for autographs  .  If they had not signed before I wouldn't mind them in this set but really they could have settled for 14 autos and had this as a prop instead.  This is only a little moan because this does look like a lovely set

  WOW
i so cant wait for this set, it dose suck about the timeing but i think the set will be worth the debt


the autos are great but whos the "must have" of the set" i know its normaly down to how many each actor sign, in the past actors auto are cheeper if thay have apperd more than once like bonnie wrights (exspencive POA / cheep GOFU)

so do you think these will be the must haves in order......
no#1 Julie Walters Molly Weasley = £££
no#2 Toby Jones Dobby
no#3 Kenneth Branagh Proffessor Lockhart
no#4 Christian Coulson Tom Riddle
no#5 Julian Glover Aragog
no#6 Gemma Jones Madam Pomfrey
no#7 Miriam Margolyes Proffessor Sprout
no#8 Fiona Shaw Aunt Petunia

Really looking forward to this set looking amazing plus it looks like we have got all the auto signers we wanted for this set plus some duplicated signers as I would expect.

Since the cast is mostly the same for each movie, there are going to be repeat signers.  Otherwise, we'd have only one or two autos per case.

I would much rather have a Lily and James Potter dual auto than a generic witch or wizard Harry encounters when he mistakenly floos to Knockturn Alley.

[Galea]

I'd rather have some Dual/Double Autos too. I fear they will run out of ideas and start a new Warwick Davis collection, WD1: W.Davis as a Goblin, WD2: W.Davis as Bankteller, WD3: W.Davis as Choir Conductor, WD4: W.Davis as Random creature, WD5.. 

[kbmum]

It's a big surprise that there isn't a Flitwick auto for this set.

[jfer21]

The only autograph on my wish list for this set that didn't make it was Mark Williams.  I would have loved to see a Mr./Mrs. Weasley dual card.

[Tower]

Yes, would have been nice.  :'(

And it seems that we still have to wait for the missing signers. Robbie Coltrane and Alan Rickman may be tough to get, it seems that they don't like ti sign on cards. But why is Tom Felton still missing?   

[Nienna]

I cannot remember for the life of me where I read it, but I'm fairly sure Tom Felton is just as careful of what he signs as Snape and Hagrid are!
Maybe he hasn't been offered enough $$ (in his opinion! LOL) or perhaps he wants more control over who makes money from his image and autos?
It could also be that Artbox will include him in the HBP set in the future? 
It might be worth asking him the next time any of us attends one of the conventions where he is a guest! 

[Galea]

Like you said maybe he's been careful of what he signs, he's always warning people about ebay and fake photos that sellers claim to have been signed by him etc. so it's understandable, but most of the cast has signed already, at least those his age have, including Jamie Waylett & Joshua Herdman (his friends from way before the HP movies) and even the Trio has signed more than once. Not to mention he's been to his own share of cons, and he seemed more than happy to organize special signings for his fans (something not many actors are willing to do) so i doubt it's about the money.

Maybe Artbox has the answer to that question ?, at least it would be easier to ask Artbox than ask him these days. I doubt they haven't approached him yet. And i have my fingers crossed for the HBP set too, I hope he signs for that one  . The set would look a tad bit incomplete without Snape and Draco  .

[Sharon]

I must be the only Shacker who would love another Warwick Davis autograph  .  His was the first character where I could say I had all the autos - signed and unsigned.  The only thing that still miffs me is that card where he is listed as Flitwick instead of the Choir Master 

I actually think we should start a campaign for more Warwick Davis autographs  .  Anyone with me ?

Graham, could you please make sure your sister gets back on her medication?
