Any pics? Much appreciated if anyone could post them up!

We haven't received any additional pictures or info from Artbox.   If the cases are ready for shipment, I think they know by now what cards are in the set and could release at least a partial list and some scans.

I think it is about time we had a card list for this set, since artbox are suppose to be shipping the cases out today.

Or they might not ship until next week.  We don't know yet.  Artbox isn't even open for business yet today, because, at the moment, it's 8 a.m. in California.  We should know by the end of the day if they've begun shipping.  In the past, they've done a staggered release -- UK cases first, then US east coast, US central states, and US west coast.  That doesn't mean they'll do it this time, though.

[potter]

oh i see, I thought they would send cases to the US then leave us in the UK to last..I do hope they do start shipping later today, I have been really looking forward to this set.

There isn't any way to ship product overseas and across the US and have everyone receive their cases at the same time, but they try to even things out a bit with staggered shipping.  If Artbox says they will start shipping today, they might ship the UK cases today and wait until Monday to start on the cases headed for the eastern US.  But, that's just speculation at this point.

I'm hopeful that we'll get some new info today and maybe we'll see some inserts on eBay at the end of next week.

Oh please don't say this set is delayed further, who is your dealer?

[kbmum]

Gryffindor Forever, do you mean that your dealer is expecting to have his shipment sent from his distributor on June 14 or that he expects to ship out his orders on June 14?  Either way, potter, this does not mean there's another delay!  Artbox ships cases to its distributors, who in turn ship to dealers and other customers.  The dealers then ship to their own customers.  I'm sure you can see why it sometimes take a while before product gets to a collector when it has to be shipped three separate times to reach that collector. 

All of the dates we see on dealer websites and in eBay auctions take this into account.  Since some people have their cases drop shipped directly from Artbox, they will get them sooner than others who have to wait for a dealer to ship.

Thanks for the information on the binders and promos John  .  I am not sure how I feel about a limited binder though  .  Yes I would love one but since this is a 3d set it would have been nice if all binders had been 3d.

I preordered a couple more boxes with Potomac last night, just got my invoice through email and they have charged my card for the full, now normally when you preorder they charge a 10% deposit, and charge the other 90% balance when they ship, so I am just thinking have they shipped my two boxes to me 

[potter]

I sent potomac an email asking when they expect to ship my order to me and this was the reponse.

Hi Stephen,
We just got an email from Artbox last night saying that they moved the
release date for this product back to June 15.  We expect to ship preorders
then.     

[kbmum]

Here's the scoop.   Artbox will begin shipping cases next week.  However, the official release date is June 15.  This means that even if people receive their cases earlier than the 15th, they aren't supposed to sell their items until that embargo date.  That's why Potomac will not ship pre-orders until the 15th.  Here at the Shack, the case/box breakdown and scans/comments thread will be locked until that date.

Hi

I have also heard end of next week, cant wait but would appreciate a proper card set list.

[kbmum]

This is one of the binder promos.

[Bitsy]

WOW! I like that promo....a little scary (not a fan of snakes) but, cool just the same.   

[HPfamily]

Well, here's to show you how out of the 3-D loop I really am! 
I just realized that there is a binder that is "3-D", and a another
that is regular! 

[kbmum]

You're not out of the loop.   We just found out yesterday.

[potter]

Does anyone know where I can buy a case of binders from I've had a look on ebay but cannot see any cases.
