Oh well, here's the first "HOBBY" box ("in hand" with "next day shipping!") on ebay. That's probably one of the German boxes. And it will probably sell. Someone will be veeery dissapointed to find no costume/prop/auto inserts  . |

No, no, that's not a German box (no German writing on it, not 5 cards per pack), that's an original English Retail Box with 8 cards per pack (or is it 6 cards?). So we'll have Retail Boxes too, but there seem to be no Retail costumes this time. But bad auction, no "Hobby" inside ...  |

No, I dont think it's the German set, it looks like the Artbox retail version to me.  If you squint hard enough you can just make out 'Look for randomly inserted foil chase cards' on the yellow scroll and you're right, somebody will buy it expecting to pull something good and be extremely disappointed.  |

I agree, it looks to be a retail box of OOTP. I hope no one is fooled by the word "hobby." |

That's good, seems to be a fair seller. Now the price has to change too ...  |

US Retail boxes? That only makes things a bit confussing , back when POAU was out I remember buying a box or 2 that were supposed to be "HOBBY" boxes and turned out to be retail ones. Some sellers don't know the difference and end up listing them as hobby boxes too. |

I don't recall reading anything about there being a retail version of this set, although I shouldn't really be surprised given that Thomas has already posted info about a German language version. Was any info released about the retail version or did I blink and miss it?!  I'm sure quite a few people are going to get their fingers burned the same way they did with the POAu set  |

I believe it was mentioned in the NSU somewhere around here. At least that there would be a retail version (different foils, though, I think).

ahhhh right, thanks Jennifer! As I don't read NSU then that might be why I didn't remember anything about this version then! LOL I wonder if the retail foils will be similar to those in the German language version? |

I'm still somewhat new to collecting these cards.. so I have a question. With the retail cards being done and ready to ship, I guess we can assume the hobby are also done? Unless it's a delay for autographs or something? Or just delaying it for the release date of the movie?
Thanks,
Jeff

I think they have been done, my dealer in the US emailed me last night about my case and said that he was told by artbox that he should have his cases next friday 6th July, with a release date of the 16th.

Artbox have started shipping cases and the date for release in the USA is 13th July and now that cases have started shipping I am sure we will see some info on the set and the 13th is only a week friday.

I got an email from Tom that my case shipped yesterday. He also said the official release date is July 13. With the 4th of July holiday, I probably won't get my case before Thursday or Friday. Will post further imfo when I get it.

The holidays sometimes don't count as a delay when stuff is in transit.
Last time, my UPS Ground shipment came a day earlier than predicted. So if the big trucks don't stop, I have a shot for Friday. Which would be _really_ nice because I have to fly out of town on Sunday.

I also had an email from Tom saying my case shipped Monday. The UPS man has been past my house today and didn't stop, so I can only guess that means I'll get it tomorrow.

I can confirm that cases have started to be received by distributors and with the US release date set for 13th July I doubt you will see anyone post scans until then

I too can confirm that cases are being received by distributors - and they are back to square cases again. No more of those impossible to ship double boxed rectangular cases...thank you Artbox!
