Harry Potter Memorable Moments II

[Guest]

I got this email yesterday from Digital Hero:

Hello Harry Potter Fans!  This is a one time email to everyone that has either ordered or inquired about Harry Potter trading cards from us sometime during this last year.  I recently received news that Artbox will be releasing Memorable Moments Series 2 next month.  Because of the short ordering window I wanted to drop you an email and give you a chance to place an order.  If you want to purchase multiple boxes or a full case, I will need to get your order as soon as possible.  Artbox is making this a very limited release and we will only be receiving a few cases.  Orders will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

Does anyone know how many boxes are being produced,
  or if the cases will have a special box like the resin box from the first MM set?

[kbmum]

We have no more info than we did a week ago, yet the order deadline is in approximately five days.

[mcgonagall]

wow this set must really suck lol

[erevine]

Better to let the set be released and then decide after some feedback on this forum if it is worth purchasing or not. I realize that some dealers rely on preorders to have capital to purchase multiple cases for the chance to get specially number cases and multiple case incentive cards given to large purchasers. In this economy folks do not have funds to devote to an unknown product even if one is an avid collector.

[terryweasley]

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Hey, maybe the Figg and Moody Autos are even on their way   
I don't know about you guys , but I would have preferred to skip right to the Half Blood Prince set!!

Tremendous case purchasing apathy could result in a tremendously rare set (which would make us all regret that apathy!!!), but who knows?

[kbmum]

I was thinking the same thing.  There might not be as many cards on eBay as we usually see.

I have been thinking for a few months about treating myself to a sealed case and i was debating about whether to get MM2 or wait for HBP.
The way things are looking at the moment i think i will be skipping right to the HBP set.
Maybe we will get some new info soon that will make me change my mind!.

[Fizzingwizbee63]

So I caved, and put my order in for a case of MM2.
I had not yet begun collecting when the first set was released, so this will be my first MM case.
Please wish me luck, I hope there is something worthy of the expense

Curious about the compass prop, I don't recall seeing it in the film.
Does anyone remember seeing it??

[terryweasley]

Do you think it could be a part of some of Dumbledore's devises from his office?

[kbmum]

That's a good guiess.  It could also be from the Weasley house or Lockhart's office.  It's been so long since I've seen COS that I really don't remember.

[stoney]

Damn! I'm in two minds now about getting a case now that i have seen these new cards.
There are some really nice sounding cards in those lists.
What to do!...what to do!

[LikORish-Spider]

From You-Know-Who:

Costumes 12----------8 per case

 

Autographs 10--------5 per case

 

Props 12---------------3 per case

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Less than two inserts per box. Dud boxes anyone?

No word on how many cases. Anyone know?

[stoney]

The props and auto inserts are consistent with other cases by the looks of it but isn't 8 costumes per case a bit lower than usual?.
10 per case is the norm usually i think. Or is it 8 for this set because there are fewer costume cards in the set?.

[terryweasley]

Tom says the cases should ship April 13.
