Or yet another maybe, we'll find out that there are distinct variations for Ci4. There were 120 coins total for TSS and 112 wands total for GOFU. (I don't even mention 172 Whomping Willows for POAU!)  At least with the coin cards and GOFU wands there were distinct variations, so if you had a Sickle card you could say that it was 1 of 40 or with a Harry wand that it was 1 of 28. Not sure that even with variations of the goblet that people would get QUITE as excited. |

It's been a while since my last case and I'll either buy one or 2 or be selling my soul for a Harry+Draco Auto. And the first few of those start popping up when I'm packing to leave for the 11hr flight to London for the HBP premiere :'(.
**If anyone gets a spare or wants to sell one PM me. I'll probably get the odd-stare when/if i start bidding on this card while flying.

The first case-"topper" crystal cards have shown up on eBay. (They were supposedly shipped separately from Artbox.) There was a "Dumbledore (purple)" and "Lupin (unspecified)."

Wow!!.  I've only been away a week and already things seem to have happened very quickly. It was a big shame to come back and find out that 8 of the autograph cards will be redemptions but deep down i suspected it would be like this (although secretly hoping not) as this seems the norm for HP sets now. I have only just sent my Harry and Sirius Dual Redemption card off to Artbox today. It's my first ever redemption card i've sent so hopefully if i get the signed card back without any problems i will have more confidence in sending the HBP ones. I must say that i do like the overall look of the cards a lot. I like the colours that have been used, particularly on the film cards. I am very much looking forward to getting my case!  |

Hello! My first time post here, but a long time reader, for some reason it took a while to get my account activated, but after a mail it was sorted really quick. thanks for that!
My 3 cases just arrived a few ago, so now waiting for the wife to come home (early i hope) so we can break them open!
The incentive cards are really nice, the bats one is really thick! But i might trade them at some point cause i personally don't see incentives as part as a masterset, only the pack inserted cards!
The redemptions in this set are really weird, they already have 7 out of 8 redemptions back signed from the cast, the only one they're waiting for is the Harry and Draco, the same two they still haven't received back from the MM2 set.
I'll post some scans and box breaks later.
Nice joining this lovely little family of HP card collectors!

Just opened the first two and we're rather upset, we had 2 IDENTICAL cases... same inserts in both, even at the same spot in the case and in the box... Not a bad two cases, both had the three rares in, but 2nd case was no fun to open as after 3 boxes we had the idea they were identical  -edit- forgot to saw thanks for the welcome  |

Welcome to the forum!
Sorry about your two cases. That is why I hate these "case clusters". I prefer things be more random.

I can't believe my luck!! :'( I bought my case from fellow shacker RichWithCards today and was looking to getting it on friday. I got the paypal invoice from Rich and paid this afternoon and then got an e-mail from paypal saying that i had paid by echeque and that it will take 7-9 working days to process!. I couldn't believe it!. I have absolutely no idea why it happened. I have bought on ebay using paypal for ages and it is always instant payment although it wasn't ebay this time. I don't know why it went through as an echeque this time. It's so frustraing!!  I now have to wait until at least the 17th of July for the payment to clear!. Rich is a great guy though and he is going to hold onto the case for me. I was so looking forward to getting the case on friday. Rich told me it was all packed and ready to go tomorrow!. Excuse me while i go and cry now :'( |

This happened to me before and I think I know why it happened to you. PayPal never told me the credit card I had as back up funding has expired. I needed to go in there and update it with the new expiration date on my card. Check yours, as it may be the same situation. Although, even if you change it right now, it won't effect the payment you just made and you will still have to wait.

Although, even if you change it right now, it won't effect the payment you just made and you will still have to wait.
This may have had something to do with it in a way as i have my debit card and not a credit card for my backup funding. It had expired at the end of june but i was told this when i logged onto paypal yesterday so i updated my details just before i paid for the case. Do you think the purchase of the case was a little quick after i had updated my details or should everything of been ok as soon as the new details were entered?. My brother suggested that because it is only a debit card it has a limit on how much you can send in an instant transfer (he thought £250). You see, i have never purchased anything over £100 with paypal before and they have always been ebay items too so maybe he is right. I just don't know. Hi Stoney! I`ve been there before!I wish paypal tell you before your pay! It's just so annoying! I do remember there being a little circle that you could click on with the word echeque next to it when i paid but i left this blank and never clicked on it as i didn't want to pay by echeque so i was really surprised when i was told that i had sent an echeque. Oh well...at least the case will be coming eventually. It will just make me look forward to it even more!. Rich was really understanding about it and is holding onto the case for me until the payment clears and we will be both checking paypal all the time to see if it clears before the specified time..LOL!. |

I've had paypal do that to me once or twice, and right now I can't remember what the circumstances were. I have my paypal account with my checking accounts with a credit card as the back up.

It could be that you paid too quickly, but I am not sure how debit cards work. Believe it or not, I refuse to have one. Makes it way to easy to pay. If I want something, I physically have to go to an ATM machine to get cash. This helps me save money, although, not as helpful on eBay  You'll get that case soon. |

I think that paying too quickly after updating could be the most probable reason. My own fault really if it is. If i had logged onto paypal on the 1st of July when the old debit card had expired then i would of updated my details then and that would of given me about 5 days before having to pay for the case. I am the complete opposite of you rns. I won't get my money out of a cash machine for anything!. I have always been like that. Probably from hearing too many horror stories about all the ways that people can get your card number like using false covers etc..LOL! If i want to take money from my account i will always go into my building society and withdraw the money over the counter from a members of staff. Even for the smallest amount of money!. How sad is that! Even though it will be a bit later than i had hoped, i will still be getting the case. And that is the main thing after all. |

Still waiting for the case from Tom. The House of Bogleg is not somewhere you would want to go right now. If the Royal Mail was using the Pony Express, it would only have three legs  |
