I have just had a look at the new info and whilst I like a lot of the cards (the dual autos etc) I am very miffed about the case incentives. Why is the Daily Prophet the 25 case incentive? If Artbox read any of these sites they must know that is one of the most popular props they have ever made and one they have now put out of the reach of the average collector. Why is the five case incentive the Dragon bag - one of the most expensive props from GOF? There will now be loads of these, making the original one less special. I still like the look of this set but I am not a happy bunny  |

I'm sure any one of us would be happy to be Artbox's unpaid HP consultant. I wonder if they read this forum?
All and all, I'm pretty happy with the cards I have collected thus far, but I agree with Sharon. No one wants to chase a rare card and have it pop up as a more common card in another set. Or be chasing Prophets since POA and suddenly have one that you won't be able to buy, like Cindy. It's all very discouraging.
There are many more tips that we could give them if they asked or browsed this site. I guess we could bombard them with emails all the time, but I sure wish they would do a little market research on thier own.

I assure you that all of the people at Artbox reads this site on a regular bases..............Don't we have most of these costume/autograph/props ...sometimes more than once in other sets  ? I'm just having a hard time getting me head around this set as I don't see anything turning me on about it..Maybe the Sirius costume ...I also may pass on this set or maybe pickup any prop/auto/costume card that I don't have 4 other times in previous sets released.........the shine is starting to dim on these HP cards for me....Maureen |

Sara saw the mock-ups of some costume and prop cards at the Philly show. Maybe she can tell us if the cards are horiztontal or vertical.

The props and costumes are horizontal, like all the other sets. Only the autos seemed to be vertical.
And if anyone read the NSU upcoming sets list, you will see that Artbox has a couple more 24 sets they plan to release this year too. I don't know how they will manage to do all these sets at once and still keep up the quality. I really hope they can do it, but I won't complain for certain sets to get delayed so that they can keep up the quality, and allow me time to save my money between sets.

One thing I'm really looking forward to is having another shot at a Lupin auto. I hope so much that I can get one!  Fred, George, and the Krum/Diggory autos would be super as well. |

At the moment the Ci1 Sirius Prison Costume card is the only one I'd be interested in purchasing. I hope the fact that this is the first and only costume card for Sirius won't run the price up too high.

I doubt that the price will go to high - I know Tom Breyer usually lists his 2 case incentives for around 20.00-30.00 USD. But I think there will be a couple of variant versions of it. Probably a light grey version, dark grey version, and half and half. |

The costume could have the shirt and trousers or the overcoat like one that recently sold at a Christies auction. There could also be dirty or torn variants, too. If I recall correctly, the GOFU 2-case Daily Prophet originally sold around $40 or $45 each.

Question: I don't quite remember, but was there a patch or any writing on the prisoner uniform? Like his prison number, etc. |

Thanks, Roz!  That's definitely one of the more disgusting scenes in any HP movie, but it must look great in 3D! |

well they look interesting I hope there is a little more to the backs of the cards than on the promo
They look very clear images but just How 3D are they is hard to tell from a scan

That's JUST what I was thinking with 3D Troll Bogeys... LOVELY! (I don't think that translates to US English, and frankly you don't wish me to, but since we're headed down this slippery slope - in the Philosopher's Stone version of the movie they say "eaurgh, troll bogeys" - what is said in the SS version?)

Awwww, Ok - I know that they changed some of the rest of it (mostly any mention of the Philosopher's Stone) for your version, so wondered if they'd changed that too  This promo lark is quite baffling so far. Is it just one set of 9? I'm not sure, there may be some kind of 'version' to deal with |
