YAY!! -Jumps about-

1st year girls' skirts... kinda sick... :P

Exactly what I thought :P But we can always avoid that one since you and I are not completists ;)

Great minds think alike!


Thank heavens for that :D

I think i will pass on that one tooo

The five costumes and five props per case sounds like Artbox is getting back to the same odds as the POA original set -- one costume or prop per 24 packs.

I see that there will be another Harry Quidditch robe.  Hmm...I think I know what I'll be pulling from my two boxes! :P

I STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET A CHOCOLATE FROG BOX ;D . Maybe the first year girls skirt is Susan Bones or someone we've seen ??? and I dont see any Emma :'(

The only things that are at all interesting to me at the moment are the props... unless they have some big signers up their sleeves, the rest looks pretty plain TBH :P

Yeah, the props are the only thing interesting me right know too. I hope they have some Hufflepuff Ties in this set...

Jo, I think the ties are pretty cool, especially if they do Hufflepuff (they are a load of Duffers Anna ;) and  Ravenclaw. Then owners of the PoAU ones will have rather a nice set.

But like the first set the props may very well be the stars of the show  ;D

I'm just glad their bringing the Chocolate Frog back because I missed it in the first set

Oh I don't deny that the costumes will be nice... its just that you can't really come up with fantastically interesting new costumes for each set. All the HP books centre around the school, so I think we will be seeing plenty of balck robes/Quidditch costumes/random clothing (as it seems like Cuaron introduced more casual clothing). So unless we get a new and interesting character (Rita Skeeter, Voledemort etc) we aren't going to see many novel things as far as costume cards go.

Props on the other hand - well there are so many for each book - you can never really go wrong there! There have not been any repeats yet apart from the Daily Prophet.

But the Daily can be explained because its changed every movie

Interesting news. :)

Well, some cards are a little bit disappointing, but some sound really great. :D

Like Harry Quidditch and 2 further Warick Davies autos perchance?

But, the Quidditch Robes are different from POA, a totaly different color and texture

Yes, or Matthew Lewis again. But most of the cards will be great. :)

*Sends thought controlling mind waves to Tom Felton, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith and Robbie Coltrane to SIGN SIGN SIGN*

And Dan - sign again! How else am I going to get your autograph? ;)

*Joins In* Yes Emma Sign again, I MUST HAVE YOUR AUTO

3 times??  ::)

You can never have to much Emma ;)

Question: Is anybody else besides Artbox produce SS? ???

Dan has to sign again. I really need another chance at getting his auto  ;D ;)

btw, how are they going to do the coins? Roz, you mentioned something about using a quarter of a coin in each swatch...won't the swatches be smaller than normal if they do that? I'm having a confused moment ???

I disagree - I think you can have too much Emma *ducks as Mike throws Sloppy joes at me*

I loved Orlando Bloom as Legolas in the LOTR trilogy, but I was thankful that he didn't sign more than the 2 series of cards that he did... the reason being that too many of these cards would devalue the previous ones. I'm not so much concerned money wise, but more the fact that I would appreciate my OB cards more if I knew that I was only one of 3000 people in the world that had one (or 2 ;) ) In my opinion, I think 2 sets for Em is enough for the time being - they need to save her for a future set - OoTP maybe?

But Dan - 50 cards?? Get scrawling Potter ;)

I just hope they priduce a box with my name on it that has an Emma auto in it and watch your back, I've got plenty of Sloppy Joes ;)

I have a feeling the coins were pretty big so these swatches will still be big - but an odd shape.

I heard Dan had said he wouldn't sign again in future sets, but you can keep your fingers and toes crossed just in case ;)

Why wont people sign?

Well as soon as someone here gets one, they better post a picture  :D


Bummer  :( Still, like you suggested, every limb of mine is crossed...there's still a slight chance  ;D

I'm just crossing my fingers for a box ::)

There was a Sorcerer's Stone set prduced by Wizards of the Coast.  There are no inserts, just base cards.  If I'm not mistaken, the cards are slightly bigger than the standard trading card.  Here's an auction for the set:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=219&item=6170057611

As for the Artbox SS costume cards, I'll be very surprised if there isn't a Quirrell turban.

I would have prefered to see 10 costumes per case, but I guess this will do.

Is anybyd going to produce a series like this?

I believe that the Turban will be a costume card.  I saw it in the current NSU magazine.  They also mentioned the Hogwart's schedule and i think the welcome letter Harry received.

Hogwarts Shield :-\

I was speaking to Roz and she said my guess on average amount of cards is terribly out of date so i will update my thinking

12 costumes average of 333 each
14 props average of 286 each
13 Autos average of 307 each
9 Film cards average of 266 each

so I am sure we will get some higher than those but that means too there will be some lower numbered ones too.

its keeps rising :'(

Let this be a lesson to the lot of you ;) I am a harsh task master  ;D



Well with a fixed "celing" of 8000 boxes, the number of cards shouldn't go up, just the number of different cards produced

Will everyone get a case, box. I mean everyones buying them and I have to wait FOREVER. I got my POA box of a small site five months after it came out so...I might not get a box of this set and not enjoy opening packs *crys outloud :'(*

I don't think so - some collectors don't like to buy boxes...and they are the ones with tidy homes, only one base set and didn't cry about PoAU ;)

So your saying that I can get boxes because most people just buy cases?

I'm saying you will have no problem buying individual cards on ebay upon release.  A box is good fun though Mike.

I was teasing that my home has a pile 5 cases high of cards all sorted into base sets and that it's untidy so people like Jules (nienna) who do not buy boxes or cases are not cluttered up like me!

I dont think I'll be buying off EBay, you never know, I might get lucky and find a stack of boxes ;)

I think I'm feeling the itch to buy some boxes....

All this news seems so extremely promising.  I had been planning on saving up and getting a case or two of GoF.  But now I'm thinkign about investing in a box or two of SS now.

HMMMm there seems to be alot of really cool inserts.  And a JOHN CLEESE AUTO>  COME ON!  I'm personally not from the East side of the pond, but I have been a huge Monty Python fan for years.  I wouldn't mind pulling one of these, or at least picking one up on Ebay later.  

Is anyone buying a few cases and looking to sell a box or three?  Let me know, I would really like to purchase a few.  

Thanks,
Aaron  

Same for me ;D

I always have the itch to buy more boxes, somebody needs to develop a cream for that, instead of just buying boxes.  :)

I need to win the lottery, seriously  ::) 8)

Lottery interesting idea I will (runs off to buy a ticket)

actually it is lottery night tonight if I win it is chris in card heaven tomorrow.

Please sir can I have 10 cases of everything you have in stock!!!!!!  ;D

i can dream can't I  ;)

Since I bought up the idea...when you do win ( ;)), can I have a case please!!!  ;D :P lol!

Hmmmmm I don't think we need to worry too much the likely hood of me winning the lottery is so small  :'(

Noooooooo don't think like that...you have the same chance as nearly everyone else playing it  ;) Think postive  ;D

Yes I was going to say that. It was the wet weather robes with got it POA, the normal robes are much nicer :)

ROFL!!!
I might be canny enough to buy the cards I like off eBay rather than risking pulling nothing from the boxes, but rest assured Roz .... my house is probably more cluttered than yours without buying cards by the case! HaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!!! ::) ;D ;D ;D

my trouble is I still have 26 cases of unsorted Potter Update base cards plus all the other stuff i have in stock (unsorted) so they do take up quite a bit of space less when you eventually get round to sorting

not that i can be bothered to do it for pennys a set

Good grief Chris ... 26 cases!?! :o
Maybe we should organise a 'base-set sorting' party at your house to get the job done?! ::)

I don't mind the repeats with Warwick Davis.  In the HP world, I've always thought of him as Professor Flitwick and that's the auto I'd prefer.

I thought he also played Griphook, but was that someone else?

Any everybody who goes gets a free base set (to get rid of them  ;) :P)

To bad that wasnt SS you where buying, you would have gotten a coin ;)

Whats a hobby wax box? ???

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=219&item=6170757194&rd=1&ssPageName=WD2V

i think thats what they call an unopened box with the plastic coating still on it. i could be wrong and thats only guessing on seeing it written with unopened boxes

I want to know too :-\

Ok ta, its just I have never seen that terminology before.

The auction is for a factory-sealed box.  Wax box is an older term from when trading cards were packed in wax paper packets instead of foil packets.

Ahhh when the had the likes of Lily Lantree on them  ;)

Now I know, thanks ;D

so thats where it comes from.cool thanks kbmum

Will more info be given out? I mean theres still three more weeks...

i'm hoping so but i wouldn't hold my breath artbox are better than topps for the info but not the best.still........

so thats the only three cards we get to see till the 12th >:(

I've just seen the price list, ooohhhh its whet my appitite I want my box NOW  ::)


(Good work on the price guide guys  ;))

Oh, me too. I want a case so I can make sure I get all the Emma cards ;) . But I think one or two boxes is all I'm going to get :P

I wish I could get a case but have no way near enough money I have only just squirreled enough for my box.

I just know found the money for my POAU I dont think I'll ever get enough for a case

That might not be ture. I'm sure I could get a case of OoTP, HBP, or Movie 7 I'll be old enought to have a job when they are release ;)

I could but no one wants to employ me  :'(

I'll just go and apply at the store or Bushe Gardens or Adventure Island they are always looking for new and younger people to work and draw in the crowds ;D you have to be 15 or older to work there so next year

Do we have an offical release date yet. Is it 12th May?

Oh, I hope

That's the date the I got from the seller I'm getting my cards from.

Lets hope they don't put it bad again  ::) I want my cards. And my have to be imported so its even longer :(

For the update set, Artbox did staggered shipping so that distributors across the US and in the UK received their cases at roughly the same time.  MPC was the first person to have cards on eBay.  I know that most people in the UK had their boxes before I did in the US.

Yes I think TomUnique was the first person in the US to have his cases, and he was a day or two behind Cards Inc. I think the UK cases had been packed first.

However, the UK was a good two weeks or so later than the US for the PoA set so you just never know, although when I was talking to Darren he seemed to think the "simultaneous release" would go ahead.
