Just noticed in the latest Non Sport Update that Artbox has another set scheduled before OOTP...
The World of Harry Potter in 3-D...
Due in April. No word yet on contents.
My question, do we really need another 'gimmick' set before OOTP? Chamber of Secrets suffered because of coming out soon after Memorable Moments.
De we really want to see Harry Potter in 3D?
It really looks like Artbox is squeezing the last penny out of this franchise.

Two HP sets per year is enough. Artbox is not giving collectors or dealers a chance to recoup from each big release. I'm also concerned about what the price will be for a box of 3D cards. They will definitely be more expensive to produce than the regular ones.
I do like the idea of a 3D set, but I think it would be better to wait until all seven movies are done. It shouldn't be a filler set between movies.

Do you mean info or do you mean promos? I have to say I am a little skeptical. We've all seen the lenticular case topper cards and although they are cool, they aren't all that 'lifelike'. I particularly liked the quality of the case topper cards before CoS, although even those don't live up to the Kodak produced Skymotion cards that were featured in Star Trek Voyager in the early nineties. Artbox are claiming that we'll be blown away by the new cards, that (and I quote)
This set features 72 cards in stunning 3-D Technology and randomly inserted chase cards —3-D cards that require no special glasses to view--but instead use a lenticular process creating 3-D effects so lifelike that you’ll swear you’re watching the scenes on the big screen!I'm not sure I'm convinced, but I'd really LOVE to be proven wrong  I'm waiting to see a promo before making any hasty decisions. |

Yes, too right. We have a new movie and a new book coming up, surely they can milk another license for a few months (lol, like 24... oops ) |

Well that's a point Bryan... maybe they have something stunning up their sleeves, and that's pretty stunning stuff... but it might be a little pricey for Artbox?? Who knows? In the meantime I'll prepare to be blown away (no I'm not talking about the latest weather forecast in Britain) Typical cheeky Boggy |

oh somehow I doubt Artbox could afford something like that, but I thought it would be cool to point out that the technology is there, and we all know in 5 years every movie poster will be using that technology, and it will become cheaper and cheaper to produce SO (lol) maybe it is something to look forward to well down the road for this hobby

I was very disappointed in the Collector Cards in the Memorable Moments set. I'm like the rest of you'll. I'm going to wait and see what the premium cards look like before I buy any boxes.

Well at least we can have a pretty good guess who the auto's are going to be (well at least some of them)...remember not that long ago all the pull backs from COS...All the MM autos were from GOFU .....so I wouldn't be the least surprised that these autos, that at first were reported to be in COS are now going to be in HP3D...It looks like there will be more black robe swatches to collect also !!
I sure hope they get their act together and have Warrick Davis signing this time..as we all need the 6th installment of his autograph, to collect in our sets
