Looks good to me though I can't wait to see the 3 at the top of the list. I have a hunch that they are at the top of the list for a reason!!!

The Grimm fur is a card we hadn't heard about before... we have always complained about topps not using their imagination... I think this counts as "using your imagination"

 

The 35mm cards at 3 per case! Sounds cool! I wonder if they need some Philosopher's Stone 35mm pieces - I have some of those I *cough* knew someone who worked at a cinema back then

There are SO MANY LEVELS OF CHASE CARD! I am not sure my case order will be enough

O my i can't wait now   Roz your a star for getting the info i will never completer this set but thats not what i am buying for  

[Roz]

Yeah I think everyone without a budget of a million dollars or with the last name Chidgey should choose something to collect!!!

Eg the autos OR the 35mm cells OR the props etc

Hmmm what to choose?

and Ben it's really no trouble, Cards Inc make it very easy for me to get this info all I have to do is check my mail

[ferdinand_the_yak]

Thanks for the info Roz!

By grimm fur, do they mean Padfoot's fur? Which would make it 'Grim fur', I guess, but I thought it was CGI. The rest of the info sounds great, the signers are the most exciting part for me though ATM... seems like the Slytherin gang are out in force so I hope this bodes well for a Draco auto card - or even a SNAPE auto card

Alan Rickman signing... (*FTY collapses* ) = a golden set

Have you noticed that we have more unlikeable characters in this set? Balancing out the PoA set, I suppose!

[samwise16]

I think the Grimm Fur is Hagrids Clothing although he has a Moleskin Coat so its not a coat  

And there was no grim in the film so it cant be off of a Grim  

[Roz]

It may be prudent to point out that I had to correct a lot of spelling mistakes in characters names in the artbox "press release"... so the difference between a "grimm" and padfoot is probably not much with these guys

Stunning product though

[ferdinand_the_yak]

doesn't the black dog counts as the 'grim' although it wasn't one reallly?

[morenomark]

News, at last!  I'm as excited as a little boy at Christmas-time.  Wow, that's a lot of chasers!  Roz, you are my god, er, God.  Time to hunt-up two more cases.

[Roz]

LOL seriously!

Stop with the gratitude/worship thing!

But you can send any spare boxes to Rosalind Turner... 123 Fake Street.... UK

[morenomark]

If your phone number starts with 555, we're all in trouble.

[Crystyles]

I guess you have to wake up pretty early in the morning to beat Roz to a post  

Yay the doorbell just rang and our HP Film cardz are here!!!!

[Accio Wealth]

Thanks for the new information Roz.

Does this mean that the previous list of props i.e hagrids tie,book of monsters etc are no longer going to appear? (As cool as the Marauders map is I wanted a Book Of Monsters )

Also as a "Case Opening Virgin", how do they supply the case incentive cards?

7 weeks and 4 days to go...................................

[Roz]

No, this is just the latest release, they have only given examples of the prop cards etc so I don't think you have to abandon your plans for the monster book of monsters etc yet.

The lenticular case cards are usually in an orangey brown envelope on top of all the boxes in the case  

[samwise16]

WooHoo I'm really excited   Keep us Updated Roz  

[gimli]

well all good stuff from what I can see but another price increase. I hope that the insertion rates reflect the increase in the box price although more chase levels to go after I have a feeling that i may have to get all this set but hey with a name like chidgey roz may mistake me for someone with thousands of Dollars to spare  

[garage]

I wonder with all the chase cards how many extra cases will be produced. If you include the film cards there are approximately 40% more cards to collect than the first set. Looks like I will have to buy some more cases!  

[Roz]

Guys - you just have to take this as a guide line. Until we have the boxes in our living rooms you can take nothing for granted. This is just a whiff of what we can expect.

LOTR fans here will remember the Topps' promises of "Heat Sensitive" FOTR cards, or a Gandalf the White auto

with a name like chidgey roz may mistake me for someone with thousands of Dollars to spare  

Hmm... no but you DID set a precedent with the last set that we expect you to keep to  

[blackcat20]

Its getting exciting! At least there is still a chance of a Malfoy auto; but just who is Tom Filch? A hybrid character?  

[Roz]

Good point - Argus Filtch - I only corrected the spelling mistakes

[blackcat20]

I thought maybe they meant a card for Tom the Inn keeper and Filch, but got a bit muddled.  It would be quite funny if the card came out as Tom Filch...
