Ahhh another very good reason to be missing Roz

Well I thought I would buy a couple as they were quite cheap as I will keep the one from my Mag when it comes but give it a few months and I will be looking for them for friends and the price will have gone up

The June-July issue with a story about the OOTP set and the first promo is now available on the NSU site.

PLEASE NOTE:  Several people with NSU subscriptions who have received their issues are reporting that the promos were NOT included.  It's likely that there was some sort of packaging error, because other subscribers did receive the promo packet).  I went ahead and ordered the issue, so I'll post when the magazine arrives.

Do we know yet whether its going to be a costume card in each pack and either an auto daniel radcliffe please  or a prop card in each pack.

Not unless you get a hot box

Otherwise you are looking at approximately 2 inserts in each box, if the insert rate follows the other releases. The inserts could be either autos, costumes, props or filmcards.

Generally, the case breakdown is 5 autos, 10 costumes, 3 props and 3 film cards. So you may get a box with 3 inserts.

I was one of those people.  Apparently, it was a packaging error for the last batch that they sent out.  The rest of the people weren't affected.  They are sending out replacements at the end of the week.

Thanks for letting us know.   Can you tell us if the OOTP article has any new info about the cards in the set?

[jfer21]

Let's see....all the things they mentioned in the article are below, whether we knew about them or not.

Props: Daily Prophet, the Quibbler, DA List, Umbridge's progress list (for the teachers), OWL exam papers
They have 12 death eater masks, two they are using for the sets (for sure) and then some exclusively for Comic Con.

Costumes: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Bellatrix and Luna; fabric from Voldemort and Lucius

Autographs: trying to get all three main kids again.  Officially, Michael Gambon and David Thewlis (does this mean that I don't have to try so hard for the Lupin in the 3-D set)?

Case incentives: ?? costume card for 2 and 5; 10 case will be Bellatrix Lestrange Death Eater Mask Prop card; 25 case will be Hog's Head Prop card

4 promos- NSU, distributors, binder, TBA

Thanks!   I have to wonder how many items will actually be used for the first set and which ones might be held for the update.  The 10-case card sounds great!

[HPfamily]

The 25 case sounds a little.....ewwwww! 

[kbmum]

The 25 case sounds a little.....ewwwww! 

Guess it depends what it is!  Maybe a piece of the stuffed hog's head or the dirty rag that Aberforth uses to wipe down the bar?

Now that this info has come out, it would be really nice if Artbox would confirm some more details.  I'd love to see scans of some cards.

I wonder what my chances are on pulling a really good card from my 2 cases.

Sorry Cindy, I seem to be doing this to you quite a bit lately!

_{Clearly, I don't have much faith in Artbox's information releases... can't think why}

[kbmum]

Here I am, trying so hard to be optimistic!   I think it's ridiculous that they won't give out the info.  It doesn't matter that the set is sold out.  They should be doing this for good customer relations.  If we look down the road, once the last movie is out and Artbox does the DH and DH Update sets, what's left?  Years of filler sets.  One would think that they'd want to engender good will with their customers so those sets continue to do well long after the last movie is released on DVD.  But, perhaps that's just the PR professional in me coming out.

I wonder what my chances are on pulling a really good card from my 2 cases.

All you have to do is look through the case and box breakdowns for other sets to see just how hard it is to pull a "really good card" from just two cases.  People do get lucky, but for the most part, the best that happens is a nice break of cards without many repeats.

What's the DH and DH Update sets?

[tialessa]

DH = Deathly Hallows

[potter]

I've never heard of that before 

[kbmum]

It's the seventh and last book in the series -- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  It's being released in July and there's quite a big buzz about it.  The movie will probably be released sometime in 2009 or 2010 (since Half Blood Prince hasn't started filming yet), at which time there will be DH and DH Update sets.  There's an entire board here devoted to discussion about the book.  You can find it here:

Just be forewarned that there could be spoilers.

I just spoke to someone and they said that he is doing some sketch cards for a Harry Potter series. He didn't specify whch series, and he knows very little. Perhaps that OoTP might have them... or 3-D set?

[kbmum]

There hasn't been any info about sketches in either 3D or OOTP (of course, there hasn't been much info about the sets, period).  If the rumor is true, maybe it's a new set.
