   HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN™

COLLECTOR’S EDITION UPDATE SET!

 

LATEST UPDATE 10/28/2004

 

Artbox Entertainment is pleased to announce that we are now SOLD OUT! Please be patient, we are scheduled to release on November 3, 2004. We are waiting for 2 more autograph cards to come in, we have decided not to use redemption cards for these two individual autograph cards. We are working hard on the November 3, 2004 ship date, if there are any changes, we will let you know!

 

I have some exciting NEWS for you on the costume and autograph cards. There will be 19 hobby costume cards (this includes the double costume card), 2 Exclusive costume tin cards, 10 prop cards, 2 prop case incentive cards and we also changed the autograph cards up to 15 different autograph cards, and this also includes the double autograph card. This will confirm all the rumors that are in the market place right now. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have agreed to sign! The biggest news is the triple autograph card that will be signed by Daniel, Emma and Rupert!

 

[zero]

WOW! It's great to have confirmed numbers on all the cards. This set is going to be a nuts to finish. I'll probably be like 50 and still missing many of these!

[Elle_driver]

yeah, i love costume cards, but do you think the harry/cedric card will be out of /1300 like the weasley quidditch robe?

[zero]

With the weasley quidditch robe being that big of a print run, I'm sure that they could most likely do the same for this one. However, I don't think they will. I have a feeling that it will be in the lower hundreds like 200, if not less!

[Elle_driver]

awww, well, we still have a few days left until we find out for sure

[kbmum]

I think fewer of the dual costumes will be produced, since it's most likely more expensive to produce this card than their standard costume card.  Imagine trying to get two swatches perfectly on a small card.

my attention now is turning to release dates. The original date was around the 5th but with auto's not back yet and no redemption cards being put in boxes hopefully. Then I can't see this being released next week. Although I don't think that is a bad thing if it means no redemption cards.

[Roz]

Yeah you are right there! That's exactly what my attention is turning to as well!

I had heard that the UK boxes had shipped. I hope this is untrue or that would mean the Cards Inc quota would be missing those last 2 autos. If anyone rings CI can they ask?

But I'll happily wait a week or two more for these last remaining cards not to be redemptions, they are a lot of hassle, especially for international buyers!

[gimli]

well I just talked to Cardsinc and they are still saying the 6th to me so that would mean I wouldn't get them til some time after 9th but you never know depends on how fast the shipping is I think they were playing safe with that date

[samwise16]

Chris are you going London Film and Comic Con

[Roz]

Young Samwise I need to have a word with you about that avatar of yours!

[samwise16]

  what did i do  :'(

[Roz]

You STOLE it precious! From Kay!

You have much angered her and she has Elvish Knives she's planning to use when she sees you at Memorabilia

[kbmum]

Nothing like a little violence to spice things up around here!  

[samwise16]

I'm sowwie Kay I never knew, i saw Ollys and thought i would use his idea and copy cut and uploaded the parrot, Never new you had it   but its sorted now, did a little copy paste cut and macromedia fireworks and made my new avatar lookin like a film cell  

[rns91294]

So are these tin cards UK exclusives, or will they be in the US as well?  I guess no one has odds on pulling ont hough, huh?

Oh, and where are the creature cards?  Are they considered props or costumes?  There was also no mention of the cinema cards.

[beckham1]

Well I talked to the dealer who is going to have my case drop shipped direct from Artbox and he was told that they are going to ship "in waves".  

He thinks they caught a lot of flack last time for shipping them all out at the same time so dealers on the West Coast got them a week earlier than dealers on the East Coast....so they are going to ship to the East Coast first, then Midwest, then West Coast.  That sucks - thanks jerks from the East Coast for complaining  (I am sure it is dealers so I don't think that would be a slam to anyone on the forum ((US ONLY)).

So I dont' think I will be getting my case on Monday as hoped probably more like the 3rd or 4th.

[rns91294]

Woo Hoo!!!  I am on the East Coast!!!!  How exciting!!  

But really, if they do it this way, it will be good.  That means everyone should get them close to the same time.   That is, of course, if they don't get delayed due to waiting for two more signers.
