It's a sad time tho when you can't be sure of getting a master set in 10 cases

Yes that is sad isn't it, it sure puts the word "Trading" back into trading cards tho and makes it that much more worth it in the end if your a completionist  

I think I will sleep until the cases arrive, I can't take the waiting any longer!!

Its going to be an amazing set if all the rumors are true.

Oh aye lass - there'll be a buzz of trading when this set is out - I have already grabbed people and said we shall trade

Question... and sorry if this was already asked.  With 19 costumes, are they saying it is one costume per box now, or is that still up in the air?  I like how inkworks says one per box, nad it is usually true.  I am just worried that of my 3 boxes, I may end up with duds.

[Roz]

I think it's one costume per box but they say that's based on how many costumes they put in the system over the entire print run  

It's rare for people to get Duds, I am just exceptionally talented at it

[rns91294]

So let me make sure i understand correctly.  You could get one costume per box.  There are 3 props per case and 2 autos.  If you happen to get a box with an auto or a prop in it, you should also still get a costume in that box as well?

[Roz]

Yes - on average every box will have a costume in and one in 2 boxes will have a prop or auto in as well... then there's chances at 35mm cards and all sorts

[kbmum]

When you look at it that way (combining the odds for props and autos), even people who buy less than a case still have a good shot at getting some decent inserts.  It's too bad we don't know the print run so we could better assess the odds.

Yea i brought 5 boxes at first and did very well i think. I got 3 inserts in one box which was a warm feeling :p

[Roz]

Yeah it's a great shame we have no ideas on the print run or the numbers of cards available... but as soon as one of us gets a case and starts cracking them open we'll certainly know! I am relying on all you US regulars, Ztaylork, Sonarghost, KB Mum, RNS, and so many more to come forward with info - and (presumably) to gloat a little too

Is gloating allowed?

So even us who only get 3 boxes still have a chance at something other than just props.  I just can't imagine how much money I will be spending on eBay this time around.

Also, my boxes will be coming from a local store, so i might have them before some others who ordered them from other places.  I will be sure to post what I receive.  My husband tells me the other day that we will open 1 box per day (over 3 days).  Yeah right, like he could resist waiting. That will NEVER happen.  Not on my clock anyway

[kbmum]

Just watch -- you'll pull a costume and a prop out of your first box, and then he'll be the one tearing into the other boxes!

[rns91294]

Oh, he is the one who finds things harder to resist!  There is no way he could do one box a day.  In fact, he will go through all three and then be searching online on where to buy more

I'd say it's a must if you are first on here with a case  

[kbmum]

It'll be interesting to see which distributors/dealers are the quickest to ship the boxes.  When Artbox states that the release date is November 3, does that mean they are shipping the product that day, or is that the day the distributors and dealers should expect to receive it?

[beckham1]

I talked to Potomac dist who I ordered some of my cases from and I think they said ship day (which is after they get them from Artbox) will be around the 10th of Nov.  So if you are picking them up from a local shop or dealer I think you could get them up to a week or so sooner then if you are getting them shipped from someone out of area or ebay seller.

Hopefully my local guy I am getting two cases from will have them in hand around the 4th or 5th as Artbox is only about 5 hours away he should get them pretty fast!

Good Call kbmum!

I hope to receive the few boxes that I did order shortly after the November 3rd release as I can only come home from the University during weekends. Knowing that they would be waiting for me at home and I couldn't open them and was stuck studying instead, would kill me!

[kbmum]

The reason I asked is that I saw this auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=219&item=6125763622

The seller claims he/she will have boxes and binders IN HAND November 3, and they're 3,000 miles away from Artbox.

Hello,

  I have dealt MANY times with this seller (trianglecards) and deal alot with him personaly. Many times he will drop ship the cases of cards to me to save alot of time getting me the cards!! Very good seller. One thing to keep in mind with him is that he is a Master dealer. He sells cases to other dealers at wholesale. He has many perks which is really cool (especially knowing him well!). I would not doubt that if he says the 3rd he is correct...but then again anyone can make mistakes.
