I have a feeling the ship date (to my house) is going to run into my July vacation. Just like last year. *sigh*

I hope they are released before you leave for vacation  Of course, does this delay surprise anyone? I thought since we were so close to their original ship date that we were for sure going to get them on time. I should have known better  |

Have there been any updates on the autos/props? I thought a few were still to be announced, but this close to ship (even though they pushed it back) I would think they'd have everything posted. :S

Unfortunately not. Tom's email from yesterday the 6th said Artbox slipped the shipping date to the 19th.

I can't recall one HP release when Artbox released info about all of the inserts before the cases were shipped. Generally, there are some surprises when people start cracking cases. It really used to irritate me that Artbox wouldn't give out all of the info, but now I like to see a few surprises.  |

I like the props that I see now. The more the better. I don't like that they cut inserts per case from 20 to 14 but with more props I can adjust. I wonder if future sets will be the same ratio?

The ratios were different for the MM set, too. I'm hopeful that the insert ratios will return to normal for the regular movie releases.

I'm hopeful to see the return of the regular insert ratio as well. However, I do agree that with this set having more props, it indeed makes it more intriguing for me. I like the props more than anything else in the sets...except for maybe a small number of autos  |

I'm a bit excited too, but haven't heard a thing  I think this is the first time I made it to a release date without knowing if they shipped yet or not. |

Thanks for the update. I was beginning to wonder myself. Looking forward to seeing the new props.

One seller has base sets, box toppers, puzzle sets, and one of the case toppers on eBay.

Sellers who get their product directly from Artbox can take their own chances and risk the wrath of the manufacturer. But if you ordered it through a dealer who kindly arranged for it to be "drop-shipped" to you, or if your dealer is lucky enough to get the cards in your hands before Thursday, please try to respect the Artbox release date of June 26th before posting auctions that show images of specific cards.

It's an interesting dilemma. Obviously there can't be a real problem for presales of things that are certain to be in the hands of the seller like boxes, sets, and insert sets like the puzzle and boxtoppers. They like everybody to have the same chances at the rest of the market though, regardless of how quick some people might get the shipments because they live nearby. Artbox used to try adjusting the shipping dates by address so that everything would show up at the same time, but that didn't work very well.
I'm not sure that it makes much difference, except that the company would like every card release to be an EVENT, where all consumers can open their boxes at the same time and enjoy the thrill of surprises. Most resellers have respected the Street Date over the years, but now we have internet electrons that travel much faster than the big rigs on the interstate highways ...
Possibly the people who post single-card auctions as early as possible are hurting themselves because the possible buyers don't know yet whether they need that card. I've seen some early auctions that go for less than those a few weeks later after the "market" has figured itself out.
