The Yak Shack Forum

OK now we have the SS set (or hopefully some time this century we will be getting them  >:( ). I was wondering what we would hope to find in the GOF set at the end of the year. Ok I know we haven't seen the film yet but we can still ponder  ;)

A bit of Rita's costume (more interesting than rosmerta's)
Dragons scale
Costumes from the 4 competitors
Something from the world cup ;)

hm...the possabilites:

a shaving from the Goblet of Fire
a shaving from Mad-Eye Moodys wooden leg and fake eye  :rofl:
a piece of the golden egg from the second task
a piece of the daily prophet rita skeeter article (common, gotta continue the Daily Prophet cards)
A galleon card #'d to 1000 (since that is the prize money for winning the tournament)
a piece of the beard the Weasley twins sprout when they try to put their name in the Goblet of Fire
Irish and Bulgarian team quidditch robes from the world quidditch cup
A leaf from the headges from the last task  :rofl: #'d to...oh, I don't know, if the trailer is any indication, 10000000  :rofl:
Swatches of the tents the weasleys, Hermione and Harry stay in for the Quidditch World Cup
A Dumbledore, Snape and McGonagall costume card...FINALLY

And the list can no doubt go on and on and on for ideas.

Shouldn't the hedge be numbered 3 so that everyone wants one but they are not sure why :-\

They'll Probably use DRAGON HIDE as Case Incentive PROPS:

Hungarian Horntail
Welsh Green
Chinese Fire??
Norwegian Ridgeback

Just begging to be made into Case Incentives

Voldemort costume and auto... Ralph Fiennes autograph... *swoons*

what about piece of the horse carriages and boat that they others school arrive on
and costumes from the other school

Autos and costumes of the four champions. Cho Chang, any of the Yule Ball robes/decorations. A shaving from the Golden Egg. Harry's Firebolt. Moody auto (Brendan Gleeson!!!!!). The shoe that they used as a Portkey. The Triwizard Cup

Snape and Mcgonagall autos and costumes!!!

a piece of voldermort fathers tombstone

a piece of the cauldron

apiece of cloth from the deatheaters

Dang, you guys are going over board.  A piece of the boat, carrige, tombstone, cauldron, tri-cup, man, this is going to be a THICK set :o :o :o

wwwwwooooooooohhhhoooooooo

since artbox doesn't listen to us >:() >:() >:() i think we can suggest anything  :rofl:

Well you never know, there weren't any black robes in SS ;)

How about a quad costume of the four champs?

I wonder how many things they can fit on one card... we've gone from duals to triples... and now quads :D

But can you imagine how hard it would probably be too pull.

I vote for a quad. I dont care I would buy one.

A piece of Peter Pettigrew's hand?   >:D

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuck :rofl:

As bad as Gollum's loincloth!

I want to see a piece of the dummys used in the Second Task filming ;D

I'll take any clothing from Victor!  How about some kind of merpeople clothing?

I have an idea I wanted to pitch to Artbox, but they would probably laugh at me.  Okay, I had a dream (don't laugh, these cards are a terrible addiction) and in it, I pulled the Diggory Dual.  It was a piece of his costume, AND his autograph on one card!!! I think something like that would definitely be different.

It would be a new idea for Artbox, but Rittenhouse Archives had made autographed costume cards for their Quotable Xena set.  I'm not sure of any other sets, but I do own some from the Xena set.

That's cool!  I would like to see more "different" stuff.  Although, Artbox has been pretty good about giving us different in the past (a feather, animal fur, a monster book).

Yeah, and now they've given us these humongously thick cards that we can't store properly.  >:(

Just be glad the devils snare doesn't stick out like the wanka grass ::)

I hear you ::)

Since the rare cards so far have been plants, let's see some rare Gillyweed.

What do you think about a piece of Dan and thems hair :rofl:

Well there's enough for more cards than Lupins jacket ::)

Maybe thats why they have grown it especially for us card collectors. I think Harry and Rons hair would be more interesting than Fluffy or the Grimm  ;)

I know, you know how many boxes I would buy to try and pull that or how much money I would save up to buy it if it was a case card :o :o ;D ;D

And it would get them to cut it too ;) Should we write to Artbox or the boys? :P :rofl:

I'm going to write and tell them to approch Artbox ;) :rofl:

As long as they don't use all of it, don't want a skin head Harry for OoTP lol

LIKE I WANT TO SEE EMMA BALD :o :o :rofl: :rofl:

I'm not sure she would hand out great chunks  :-\

I dont want a chunk, I just want a small curl ;)

Maybe next time she has it trimmed ;) now the boes they need a lawn mower ::)

Does anyone know where Emma gets her hair cut ;) :rofl:

Nope I don't even know what part of the country she lives in. I know Dan's about Fulham somewhere I think. No idea about Em.

What other WEIRD cards can we come up with ;)

What about a finger nail or something :rofl: :rofl:

Used tissues :P

I think we better stop before we get too grose

LOL - we better start getting back on the GOF cards road ;)


I want there to be some Trunk cards and more school books and maybe the trios backpacks

Harry's bathrobe would be cool

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/MorningAngel-Iola/Harrydressinggown.jpg)

Or Ron's lace

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/MorningAngel-Iola/Harry_Potter_og_Ild_173901m.jpg)

Hermiones Pink Dress would be a great one

Viktors outfit looks rather nice too. Lets just have a little bit of everything.

I love the robe idea!!!

And its super stripey. We do like stripey things ;D (plus nice even stripes ;) )

Did anybody notice the update of the Artbox webpage and the first pictures of exclusive GoF Trading cards?  ::)

(http://www.artboxent.com/images/sceneitcrds.jpg)

http://www.artboxent.com/home.htm

wow, an actual update  ;D

The cards look great!

Yes, but the Sorcerer's Stone set is still missing.  ;D

Those aren't all GOF cards.  The first card shows Harry with the Sorting Hat, which is SS.  The second card is Harry and the basilisk from COS, the third is Harry, Sirius and dementors at Black Lake from POA, and the fourth is GOF.

Yes, one card per movie, of course you are right. :)

So that does mean there is going to be a COS set which will be green and GOF which will be red

The update on the site says that they are only found in the Scene It DVD game.

According to Non-Sports Update (which I know is not the MOST reliable) there WILL be a Chamber of Secrets set, however, Artbox has not said any kind of release date. My guess is it will come out NEXT year at the same time SS came out this year. GOF will be coming out late oct/nov.

There was talk that COS would come out when GOF was supposed to and it would be pushed back. It would make more sense though if GOF came out the same time as the film and COS came the following spring.

I email artbox and they told me they would have details on both sets in a couple of months and that production has not yet begun on either set. This is good because it gives me plenty of time to get my SS set complete.  ;D

And start saving ::)

I reckon is definitely one card from each release - the Dumbledore in the first one to me is most likely Richard Harris. And as Cindy said - Harry in the CoS, Harry and Sirius by the lake and Harry and the egg.

 Looks like it

OK smarty pants ;)

He hee - looks awesome and it's the first time I've seen the pic of Harry and the egg - I couldn't quite believe it was the egg at first as I think Harry looks pretty young in that pic, but I agree it has to be that :)

Its the hair that makes him look young ::) but don't start me off again  :-X

Anyway Roz did you see the piccy I posted a page or so back with Harry in his bath robe with the egg?

I did - and what a smart bathrobe it is too!

If I remember rightly - doesn't the prefects bathroom have about 50 taps :D this I HAVE to see ;D

Yes and we already have designs on it ;)

Oh yes, they'll have to be lots of bubbles to pretect Dan's modesty ;)

We should see COS next spring, assuming that Artbox doesn't produce a GOF update. ;)

*runs to hide under a pillow*

I think I'm going to wait and see on these sets, 800 cases was plenty - we don't want Artbox getting too big for it's boots again

Shall we shout incase they are listening?

What about a SS Update :o :o :o

I don't think they have enough bits for an update

I pray they have learned and will never release an update anymore.  :o=

I hope, it will be really GoF in November and CoS in Ssummer 2006. And no update.

They don't really need an update while there are others to do made really.

As to Updates ... the initial reason that companies started publishing update sets (or Series 2, with earlier Topps SW cards and sometimes their widevision versions from a movie) is that the movie-makers wouldn't release some of the best shots for printing before the movie was released.

Then they also found that there was a perfect tie-in to when the movies were released on DVD, which perked up the audience again.

Sure, you can push a franchise to its limits and keep making cards until everybody is sick of them. But those first "marketing" pushers above don't apply to TSS. I wouldn't be surprised to see a GOF Update at DVD time, though.

That's a great point Jeff... so its unlikely we'll see a SS or CoS update set, but depending on when the GoF movie and DVD is released relative to the GoF set, we may or or may not see a GoF update set...

Fingers crossed for no update! :o=

If we'd see a update of SS we might see it in November, an update of COs in 2007 because if there is a release update for GOF it will be May for the release of the DVD

No no - seriously the updates are for additional un-released shots... an update of SS or CoS would be MAD  MAD MAD

I know, I cant spend ALL that money on updates and originals or else I'll seriously need a job.

I want a case of GOF I'm not sure how on earth I will pay for it though  :-\

Oh they look so good  :o

For those of you who just can't wait. There are loads of lovely picture cards on ebay at the moment I think they come from Japan or somewhere. I might get some when I have money again (thats my top phrase isn't it ::) )

Here's just one lot

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6194994201&fromMakeTrack=true

I received my first GOF promo today  ;D It is the SD number 2 and is lovely  ;D

But it says release date is October 2005.  Do we really think they will release the cards before the film  ???

Yes, they normally do it just before the film, you have to be careful to ignore the pictures and DEFINITELY NOT read any of the card backs!

If I remember correctly, the original POA cards were released just before the movie came out.

I hate auctions like this.  It's unofficial, unlicensed merchandise that infringes of JK'n and Warner Bros.'s copyrights.  All of the those images are available on the internet -- most of them can be found at fan sites like The Leaky Cauldron.

I just thought they were Forgein releases as they all seem to come from Japan and such.

Sorry just looked an other listing says Thailand.

Oh, i didn't see the new forum yet. Nice. :)

Thailand is like Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore; intellectual property "rights" to them means intellectual property "writes". If it can be copied they'll write it.

I think Japan should be regarded as quite separate here, there never seems to be such activity in straight-laced Japan :)

Just wanted everyone to know that I just got these cards!!  I bought the Scene it DVD game, HP edition and these cards come with it.  They are numbered 1-4, and there is a card for each movie.  The Chamber of Secrets card is of the Basilisk and looks great!!!  The color at the bottom of the card (below the silver line) is green.  It looks great!  I will try to get a good picture of them to post for everyone to see.

How did you get the game when it comes out next month on the 15th :-\

Do you get all four cards with one game?

All 4 cards come with the game.  The are wrapped up together, and I didn't want to open them, but my husband wanted to display them in our binder, so we opened them up.  Was the only way to see them anyway. 

Mike, the game is out.  You can get it at Barnes and Nobles site (for full price Ibelieve) and it is currently on sale at their actual stores, which is where I got mine.  Maybe it came out the 15th of this month?

Ok, I'll have to go and see the price and get my mom to take me. Thanks 8).

Thanks rns for the heads up. We probably wont see this here in Australia for a fair while so Im going to order one tonight from the website. Cheers again!  ;D

Any spotted in the UK yet?

Just so you know, my husband and I have played this twice now and it is a lot of fun!!!  Good times.

I'd like to see what these two are wearing

_{toke pictures out do to size}

I'd also like to see if Waner Bros will produce one of these jackets for us Hufflepuffs and the Gryffindors 8)
I was thinking about making my own but just looks at all the draw strings and the yellow mess would be so hard to sew and find :P

_{Sorry about the size. I toke these ouf of the hige res pictures}

Oh yes, I would agree! Japan doesn't seem to have products like that. It's more like other Asian countries like China, Indonesia, and what not. I think Hello Kitty was having such unoffical products in other Asian countires. Plus, they've had a plethora of official POA stuff, and I would expect the same for GOF, or at least I'm hoping!

I got mine on the night of the Harry Potter party at Barnes and Nobles, I saw a guy carrying it and I made my brother help me try and track it down at the store so I could purchase one also  ;D
 
It really is a lot of fun isn't it  ;D Mikey (Zero) and my sister played it a few times now and it gets better each time. I love how they do the tie breakers  :rofl:

I havent got mine yet because I dont get my allowence now for another two weeks ::)

Does it have any footage from GOF?

Yes, the game has footage from all four Harry Potter Moives. Its actually a game for the release of the movie.

Wicked. Thanks for the info Mike...wish mine would hurry up and get here already.  :P

I know. I'm so ready to get it but I've got ALOT of school work to do so.

Oh, and this doesnt go here but I'm just so HAPPY ;D I got my school grades yesterday
I've got an:

A-Math
A-English
B-Florida History
B-Sicence
B-Literature
B-Intro to Bible 1
A-Word Building

and I have a GPA of 3.43 ;D and my teacher said it will go up since I turned in some test ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well done on those grades Mike!! ;D ;D

Thank you. Hard work does pay off after all ;D

Congratulations Mike  ;D  I don't know what a GPA is (I assume grade point average but we don't have them in the UK) but that is one impressive set of A's and B's.  I bet your mum was dead chuffed  :)

My mom was surprised, very surprised. And yes GPA stands for Grade Point Average ;D

Good work Mike! ;D  You did very well with your classes, congratulations! 8)

Thank You Anna ;D

Now I think we need to get back on topic ;)

Did you guys see that new picture from GOF. The trio waiting for Sirius to appear in the fire?

Great job on your grades, Mike! :D

Can you post a link to the photo?

************

Never mind.  It's the link I posted in the new GOF pictures thread.  Sheesh, that's what I get for spending the day in the sun with the kids. ::)

Thanks Cindy

I think Emma looks SO cute in her PJs ;)

The first thing I thought when I saw that picture was, "Those pjs would make great costume cards!" :D

I know, me too ;D. Thats when I know that I need to get a life :rofl:

Yeah here in the UK we only understand As, Bs etc as that's what we work on ;) - or %ages make sense to us too :P

Congrats, sounds like you did well.

What exactly IS this scene it game? Some trivia based on some scene you are shown or what?

Thanks Roz

It works with your DVD player to where your so into the game all you have to do it shout out the anwser. No mics, no speakers, no nothing. Just the game, DVD player, and a TV ;D I've only played the Movie edition (and sucked at it :rofl: ) and it was great. It goes on forever because you just dont want to stop. Once you get the hang of it you just can stop. And it is a form of a Trivia game. They show you a few seconds of video or play some audio and you have to yell out where its from (not really sure anymore because I played the movie one last year :-\ )

Maybe you could get a better anwser from Sara or Wendi, the two on here thats played it. I'm not so sure just yet.

Well done Mike.

As to Scene it in the UK they have got it in Argos but you can't buy it yet :(, they also have cells which you can't buy yet

Just got a message from Artbox. This must be wrong

Hello Micheal,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire will be released in September, approximately 1 month before the movie release.

I just now sent Artbox an e-mail asking the same question.  I'll post what they respond.

We only had to do a tie breaker once, but it was pretty neat.  Except that he won the tie breaker and not me >:()

The game has clips from each movie, but I have only seen still frames from GoF so far.  Anyoen see actualy movie clips from it yet?


Careful with this.  I just saw this same scene it game at Toys R Us for $34.99.  Thing is, it is not in the nice colelctor's tin, and it DOESN'T come with the 4 cards from Artbox.  That is why it is cheaper.  Probably the same game, but the one at Barnes and Noble is the collector's edition.

Can I be nosey and ask how much your one was.  And was it a Barnes and Noble special edition.  I hope not as I have never heard of them and don't think we have them in the UK  :(

That's good to know Sara.  I've been shopping around trying to find the best price for one.  I only want the promo cards, so I would be very mad if I got the game and it didn't have the promos in them.  I guess I'll have to get it from Barnes and Noble then. :P

I have a debate to make. Ether a new card or the game :P

I'd love to have the game because I get so board sometimes ::) and my mom wants it too

No we don't. I hadn't heard of them til I bought some compilations of the early spiderman comics, they are B&N exclusives.. and no one else has reprinted them recently in coloiur (you can get B&W copies anywhere, but I have to ask ... what's the point? They were drawn painstakingly in colour so I must see them in colour ;)

That's interesting.. perhaps the B&N ones won't be around in special edition long

I bet you anything the one with the cards is for the US only :(

It has to be wrong.  The movie is being released November 18.

They were having a deal at my Barnes and Nobles for the Collectors Edition of Harry Potter Scene It...it cost me around $36.00 with the Discount and the membership card if that helps you.

The only GoF stuff I have seen so far are a couple of pictures. Also, I don't know if their are actually any scenes yet or not, but you never know because we only did play the game a few times so far.

The price you paid is better than what they have on their web site.  Their website price is $49.99 or $44.99 if you have a membership card.

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?EAN=9781933318134&x=5220808

$49.99 was the regular price for the game but thanks to it coming out the night of the book release they had a special discount price on it. Also we bought a membership card earlier that day to get discounts on the six HBP books we ordered so that made it even cheaper.

Did you see if Target carried the game? Sometimes they have great sales on their toys and games  ;D

No I didn't look for it there.  I did look for the PC version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory video game, but they didn't have it. :(  But I thought the Collector's Edition Scene-It game was a Barnes and Noble exclusive. ???

Just confirmed by Warner Bros. GOF will have a PG-13 rating for sequences of fantasy violence and frightening images

Good thing Monica turnes 13 in September ;)

Do you think they are a) very mixed up and talking no sense... or b) refering to the preview set - but even so the comment "approximately 1 month before the movie release" is perplexing

if it was being released in september then surely we would have heard something about it by now  :-\

That isn't the first time there was an error in an Artbox email about a release.  I don't remember the specifics, but I'm sure that I got a similar email from them about the POAU release with the very same mistake -- someone said the release would be a month earlier than it actually was (as opposed to SS, which was delayed).  When I wrote back, the person corrected him/herself.

Actually, they didnt anwser all my questions. I did ask the date of release to see if they would give me something different and asked if they could tell me some costumes they were using

I'm not surprised.  We've had a hard time getting info from them one week from release, never mind two months. ::)

Sorry it took a while for me to answer the price of the game.  The B&N one I bought was indeed $49.99, but it was 20% off, so it cost $39.99, plus my state tax of 6%.  I  think if Target has it, then it would be the ones without the four cards in it.  Does B&N ship international?  They should.  I think it is definitely worth it.

Even if Barnes and Noble ships internationally, I don't think US DVDs will play in the UK and Europe.

They should play if you have a multi-region DVD player.  :)

Yeah, if you have a playstation just use a "multi x" disc.

We have one for Studio Ghibli (Japanese anime) films :)

And so we are left with the naff stuff again :(

I finally got a reply back from Artbox:

Hello Anna,

The release date for the Goblet of Fire will be October, 2005.

Thank you for your interest in our products.

So what they originally told Mike was incorrect.

I just found a website that carries the DVD game that you can get at Toys R US.  Another word of advice.  Not only does it NOT come with te cards, it looks like it only comes with 3-4 plastic movers (game pieces).  The special edition one has the cards, tin, 6 nice pewter moving pieces, and it says on the box that the special edition has more trivia questions as well.  Just another update for everyone.

The 6 pieces in the collector set are the Golden Snitch, Hogwarts Express, Hedwig (Owl), Nimbus 2000 (Broom), Fluffy and the Sorting Hat. I called them Owl and Broom, John, my son (with imagination) says they are Hedwig and the Nimbus 2000.

I think I posted some incorrect info about the cards in the Barnes and Nobles Goblet of Fire collectors edition game. I say I think because I can't find it to correct it. That means either, 1. I'm having a senior moment, 2. I was dreaming, or 3. The WEB Fairy knew it was incorrect and deleted it.

Anyway, I opened the cards in the Tin, here's the pix of the cards. The numbers are 01 thru 04. They are not "P" number cards. NOT PROMOS as we know them, no P's. Notice they are from 4 different movies.
Chamber of Secrets is in Green and Goblet of fire is in Orange.

The backs:

wow nice cards i like the chambers one

*Trek Music*

They're promos Jim, but not as we know them

;)

No idea where those would go in the price guide!

Sorry the poor old eyes are not what they used to be  ::)  Do they say Scene It or Barnes and Noble anywhere on the cards?  What I mean is, is there anyway to tell they are different from a base set card (ie different writing on the back)?  I am just wondering how much I want them, as it seems us Brits are going to pay dearly for them  :(

Yes, if my eyes serve me ok - they have info about the films on the back - a synopsis of the films - more like a teaser than a description.

They are actual Artbox cards as we know them.  I do not recall seeing anything about Barnes and Noble or anything on them.

Has anybody checked Ebay yet?

Hey Everyone.
Good luck on the Goblet Of Fire Set. after Sorcerers Stone My Wife and I are Throwing in the towel. Between Azkaban update and Sorcerers Stone 2 financial beatings are enough.  >:()  I think a binder and base set will be enough. ;D.
Best Of Luck To Everyone
Rich

You do raise a very valid point :( - sorry to see you go Rich

I have the HP Scene It game  ;D  I got it for my birthday but I havn't opened it yet.  It hasn't survived the trip across the Atlantic very well so we are waiting to see what Barnes and Noble have to say.  But it is a lovely tin  :)

Yes, Rich, sad to see you go. I know I can not afford the GoF set either, but where there is a will, there is a way.  I will find the money!!!!!

Sharon, that is so sad.  I hope they will replace it for you.  Was it badly damaged?

Just a word of advise.  After 2 games, my husband and I keep getting repeats.  Then, we realize there is a setting on the game to avoid this from happening so much.  So don't get discouraged if you start to get repeats.  Just read in the directions on how to adjust the game settings.

Thanks for the tip.  I plan to thrash my Dad so I may be asking you for a few hints  ::)

One corner of the tin is completely crushed.  The annoying thing is that it must have been packed this way as the outer box was perfect and the celophane is intact.  If they have more I would like to swap but if it is a case of this or nothing I would rather have the dent  :)

I am sure they have more and should be willing to exchange it with you or something,  I am sure the game itself is fine, but you get the cards and the tin with the special edition, so it should all be in perfect condition for you.  Let us know what they say.  And feel free to send me a PM anytime you want for some tips ;)

Woo Hooo nice pressie but a complete pain that's it's damaged like that! >:(
Did you get it from the Barnes and Noble online site Sharon as I've looked for it here in the UK with no luck? ;)
*Fingers crossed* they will offer a replacement with no fuss too. :o=

Graham bought this for me (sorry I refuse to call him Bogleg  >:() ).  I will check with him how he got it (it was definately Barnes and Noble) but when I emailed them to check out shipping (not knowing he already had it) they sent back saying they didn't stock this game!  So I am not sure if it was for a limited time only and you can now only get the 'normal' version.  I have to say even though the tin is crushed on one corner it is a beautiful tin.  I have no idea why it is not sold here; it would fly off the shelves.

I tried everywhere in the UK (Argos, Amazon etc) and none would confirm if their version had the trading cards in it  :(

You know, I am sure someone here in the US would be willing to buy the game and ship it to those in the UK.  Problem is, I don't plain on going to Barnes and Noble for a while.  And I don't know how much shipping would cost :-\

Let's say "Europe" instead of "UK".  ::)

The german release date for the scene it Potter Edition is the 3. Oktober

but i have no info about promos

Last week on went on line to B&N to try and purchase this game.  It wasn't available but I was able to pre-order it.  It is supposed to be "released" on September 10.  It is the"Deluxe" DVD set in the tin with the cards!!!http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=gT4J7z1CMQ&isbn=1933318139&itm=1 

Ive mailed the Mattel (Publisher) Online Costumer Support if the german version contains this cards too, but i didnt believe it.

Amazon Price is 49.99€  :o

It would be cheaper to buy the US Version for 49.95$

!*!*Please Note*!*!

Now, as the warning says. There are about 15 images I have seen from the Scene It? game from GOF. A few like Fleur, Cedir, Harry and Ron, Krum we've seen. But there are three we so far havent. One of them is Emma with her hair blowing back, one is of Krums headmaster, and the other is of the Triwizard Cup. The first two of Emma and Karoff are pictures like of Mad-Eye Moody, in a crystal ball, so all you actually see it their faces. The TriCup, as I call it, is bigger. Its standing on a kind of wooden or stone basin surroundred by four walls of the maze. Very exciting. I've been playing for about three hours straight and havent seen any snippets from the movie like the B&N site promises but I forgt to suffle up the guestions after playing Party Play.

Will update when I see more...

Got one, quick I know LOL

Its of Harry from the First Task, looking upward probably at the Firebolt or Dragon

Yet again,

This time its Cedirc in the Maze holding his wand and Arthur Weasley

I, again, havent seen any clips or snippets of audio. Just photos and puzzles. I havent Shuffles the anwsers yet, I'll be playing it again Sunday so maybe I'll get lucky!

Here some of them from the game. Sorry about the quality, not much light in my room at 10:16 at night

If you buy a US version of the game for $49.99 that will no doubt save you some money. One question you should be asking is will the DVD play on European DVD players?
I understand that the DVD players  may have different codes.

On the back of the disk case it says that they try to make the game work on as many DVD players a possible

I think they probably mean as many models as possible Mike.  The US version is definately a region 1 DVD.  The UK is region 2, along with I think France and Japan - but don't quote me.  I am pretty sure Germany is another region altogether - are you a region 3?  Unless you have a multi region DVD this will not play on your player.  Even some region 0 are having problems now (region 0 or region free DVD players were surpossed to play any disc but the companies are putting a special code on some discs to stop this.)

For anyone in the UK, WH Smiths do two DVD players that are multi region and only cost £30.  I have bought both version for various people and they are very good players - all the usual features plus things like zoom.  Graham has had his about 2 years now and, touch wood, it has been fine.

So on top of having to find a US distrubutor to send to the UK, paying loads of postage and risking import duty you now have to buy a new DVD player.  Now that is what you call devotion to Harry Potter  :rofl:

Like Sharon i see no problem in play the US DVD on a German or UK DVD-Player. I bought mine in 1999 and this player is codefree and play everying i want (except my pizza)

The other problem is that i do not want to play the english game alone   :'(

Why?

Maybe his Photobucket space is full  ;D

Isn't most of Europe region 2?

He could always open up another one ;) or find another free host.

Yes all of Europe and Japan is Region 2 (which makes Anime nice and accessbile to Europeans - woo hoo)

LOL, forget the message. I just dont know how much space I can have on PhotoBucket. I'll be deleting them after the DVD comes out of my computer and PhotoBucket (no since in having them when I got the movie :P ) so I guess I can leave them up till people stop drooling over them and trying to figure stuff out :rofl:
 Sorry Again

Well I cracked today and opened the Scene It game.  Barnes and Noble were being very unhelpful about replacing it and I didn't want to risk not having the cards  >:()

But good news is that it is perfect inside  ;D  I was a bit disappointed by the number of question cards but the game itself looks fab.  The challenges have been made - me and mum against dad and Bogleg.  So when we play I shall be popping out on the pretence of going to the loo but actually I will be logging on here for a little Yaky help.  I'll be counting on you  ;D

I did it.  ;D

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5994043215

That's excellent Tower, and a good price too.  It is quite heavy though so the shipping will be pricey but sooooo worth it  :D

I hope so. I'm happy that i got one.  :D

Me thinks I will end up with the non card one :(

Apology time  :-[

A very big apology to Mike.  I have just put my Scene It DVD in a region 2 player and it was fine.  So really sorry Mike, it does seem it will play on any region.

Even more embarrassing is that I nearly lost to my Dad  :o  But what an excellent game.  Even if some UK Shackers can't get the trading card one I would recommend it as a great game anyway.  ;D

Apology Accepted 8)

We all had are doubts abotu the game :)

If only I had a camera handy for the look on Sharons face when my dad beat her to the answer "Cornish Pixies"  :rofl:

oh dear .... this is the same man who thought Umbridge was Voldi using Polyjuice Potion is it!?! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Classic!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

It looks like the GOF set is going to have tins too.  I didn't hear anything about it before but I noticed over at Potomac, they have pictures of one tin with the champions on it.  Had anyone else heard anything about them?

I wonder if the foil inserts will have pix of the four champions?
Naturally we know nothing here in the UK ... unless a wee birdie has been whispering in Roz's lug'ole ...

I think we can safely say with whatever set Artbox do we'll always have tins ;) they love them - collectors don't :P Well some do - but most like their collection contained within boxes and binders that they can keep out of light... where are we supposed to keep tins in our minimalist modern luxury apartments ;)

:rofl:

Nienna, I don't know exactly what a lug'ole is .....But I hope it's civil.

lug hole is an ear hole... I don't know where the phrase came from  but obviously it was taken into our language after the Mayflower set sail from Southampton ;) well either that or it got lost along with the British measuring system (yep, a pint is a bit smaller in America...)

"lug'ole" might even be unique to the part of the UK I live in John ... we do have some strange words in the local dialect believe me! :D

ear'ole
tab'ole ... are a couple of other versions you'd hear in Derby too! ::)

Here are the links to Potomac's pre-orders.  They have pictures of the box and the tin:

http://www.potomacdist.com/detail.asp?ItemId=pottergfab&a=

http://www.potomacdist.com/detail.asp?ItemId=pottergftc&a=

I can't wait to start opening packs! :D

Me too! ;D

OOOOOOOO lovely tin lid and imagine what the card will look like!! :D
The burning question we all want answered now, is just exactly 'what' are the inserts/autos going to be for this set, because too many members got burnt over the previous releases and it's time Artbox got themselves sorted out giving us this information.

Mcgonagall costume card and Hagrid auto card lmao I wish

Cool tin, they seem stuck on red (and Blue though) they could have had one for each champ.

Since Cho Chang and Diggory play important roles, it would be great to get Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff ties.  Plus all 4 heads of houses AND Dumbledore.  Am I asking for the moon?  Probably.  Let's just hope we don't get Chang and Diggory black robes.  >:()

Something from the four houses would be cool.

aaaaaaawwwwwwww!! :-\
Just think Kelly ... the black robes would match all the rest in the set!!! ;) :rofl:

I would LOVE to finally get decent tie swatches from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff - long overdue IMHO!
Prof McGonagall auto would be lovely, so too a Hagrid auto ... what about a dual auto with him and Madam Maxime .... I'm sure Barty Crouch Snr and Karkaroff will be contenders for an auto card and hopefully Fleur, Cedric and Krum too.
Could you imagine a card with ALL four champs signing it!?! OMG!! :o

Maybe Mr & Mrs Weasley will sign this time? Bill & Charlie - what about them?

I know, not much hope of that ever happening but it's nice to dream. ;)

HUFFLEPUFF, GIVE ME SOMETHING HUFFLEPUFF. IS THAT SO HARD TO GIVE ME >:() >:() >:() >:() >:()

Ok, now that I've calmed down. I want a Hufflepuff tie, worn by Cedric (Robert) would be a even better. Got to get something from my house right, and something thats a varient. Never got a vareint duel :P

Ravenclaw would be nice too seeing as we woudl have one from every house now but I'd perfer, of course, Hufflepuff.

I'd like to see alot more, again, Hufflepuff stuff :rofl: Like all of Cedrics task uniforms, robes, scraf, etc. Are you with me Anna ;)

I'd like to see some Ravenclaw, as much as Hufflepuff seeing as that would have been me second choice as my house if I wasnt so stuck on yellow and black ;) :rofl:

Some stuff from Viktor and Fleur. Not big fans but I want something from every task and champ.

A auto of all the champs would be nice, but indivitually because I'd more likely buy Harrys and Cedircs before Viktors and Fluers but I'd settle for a quad ;) .

For props, not really have my heart set on those, big fan of costumes at the moment. But the maze leaves seem  like a good idea seeing as I havent got a leaf from any set prior.

Maybe Sphine fur or something like that. Grinylow scale or gillyweed (posted that before). I'd really like to see something from the dragon. That would make my trading card year :o 8)

Won't get a Mr and Mrs Weaskey auto as she's not in this one  :'(

I'd forgotten that Dawn *sniffs* :'(

What do you reckon the 100 CASE Incentive card, Numbered to 12, will be? Platium plated Hungarian Horn-Tailed Dragon Scales?

If Artbox SERIOUSLYS makes a 100 case incentive thats the last thing I buy from them ::)

I thought mrs weasley came to visit harry in the goblet of fire with bil or charlie when the school champions had visits from there parents . I could be wrong

She does ... in the book!
I remember reading that the director decided not to film her part and her being quite upset about it - it was all to do with trying to keep the length of the film to something reasonable and not ten hours long! :o
Mugglenet or LC ran the article months ago ... :'(

i missed that article and i am really sorry they took that out i think that that scene would have shown the real bond that has grown between Mrs weasley and harry and how harry is looked on as one of her children

True, but in the article Julie Walters said that she could see the director's point-of-view and the reasons why he cut her from this film ... she didn't really elaborate any further on it than that, only that she was naturally disappointed. I can't really remember much more than that as it was some months ago when I read it, so I'll be very interested to see what they've included and what they've cut when the film is released. ;)

I think its nice that she enjoys it so much that she's upset when she's not in it ;D

Too bad. In the book they were all in the infirmary after Harry recovered weren't they?

You're correct, but the movie scalps the book and doesn't add the depth or build characters they way a book can.

I still wanna know whats going to happen about the loss of the marauders story.

I am so lost.  D I really need to read all these books a third time :-\

Are you talking about the fact that they never explained in them ovie who Moony, Padfoot, Wormtail and Prongs really were?

And Mrs Weasley was in the beginning before they left for Quidditch World cup too, right?  Of course, the Dursley's were cut out too.  I guess this one will start at the Quidditch World cup?

I like the movies. but, they don't live up to their potential. They've missed a chance to make some really great movies instead of just very good ones.
*SIGH*
I guess they'll never be able to equal the books. I get the feeling they are just "cashing-in" with minimal output of effort.

no movie is ever as good as the book

I thought LOTR was acurate :-\

i do not like the lotr movies the books are better

It's accurate in that it has very accurately re-created the look, feel and magic of Tolkien's world... but the story itself had to be pretty twisted to work on screen.

I have to say that in a few years time, when all the books are out, I am hoping they make a tv series.  The first book could be say 12 episodes working up to OotP which could be a full 26 episode run.  That way the side stories and characters could be explored.

I would love to see the books made into a TV series. ;D  Then I could get my weekly dose of Harry Potter. ;)

True, but the LOTR three sure came close. What it may have lacked in story, it more than made up for in visual effects.

i think the lotr movies are "Moneymaking  + Hollywood"

The books are great but how many people read the books before the movies came out??? The first time i read the books i was 12 years old.
Tolkiens books are cult, you can read them again and again but this movies full of visual effekts are boring. The movies are made for your eyes but not for your fantasie.

It is the same with the Potter Movies, Titanic or every other "Big Hollywood Production". You can wach them 1 time maybe twice but then BORING. So many potential got lost only because they want to make money.

I definately prefer to read the books.

Really a huge number of people - I once heard it said that the English speaking world is only divided up into those who have read LOTR and those who are going to read it --- waaaaaaaaaaay before the movies came out.

This is like the Shakespeare filmings. Many people know and love the books. And other people watch the movies, try to read a book and did not even understand what Shakespeare meant.

Funny but i know a lot of people that say the films are great but however at all do not understand the sense and intention from Shakespeare.
This is why i think too much "Hollywood and effects" kill the charm of the books.

But by the films more people read the books.  ::) Thus films are only advertisement for the books.  ;D

With Harry I saw the first film before I read the books (shameon me) but it did make me go and read the books and get hooked so it did work ;D

In the 20th Century, no English-language writings had bigger sales than Lord of the Rings, except the Bible. It's going to be tough for anything to catch Harry Potter in the 21st, especially since we probably won't use paper books for very much longer!

 

Oh please don't say that.  I honestly can't imagine not having real books and having to read from screens.  Even when I read Dawn's fan fiction I have to print it out as I don't think it is the same on a monitor.  Just the excitement of turning the next page - we can't lose that  :'(

I am presponsible for quite a few dead trees ;)

Here's four more GOF posters. I think their international but I'm not sure. The title isn't in a different language :-\ Anyways, enjoy!

Did you notice that the charactors that ether go to the Ball or have loads of amount of time together are featured together!!

Poor Harry gets moody  :-\

Well they are nice, see they make all the lads look mighty handsome  ;D

** Hmm...maybe I need to get a poster made of me then I might get a girlfriend ;) **

I like that we get to see some of the costumes actually on the people. Now we know that was Fluers First Task outfit at Comic-Con. I wonder what their all looking at. Harry cant be looking at the dragon because its on the right not left...possibly his broom :rofl:

Viktors wand looks kind of wavy.  Am I seeing things?

It looks wavy to me too.  Maybe we're both hallucinating. ;)

Then I must be too ;)

No, I think thats just Vik's wand :)

Just in, the first rumours about content. Noticibly Devon Murray and the Weasley dual are repeated (unless it's a Weasley dual with 2 other members of the Weasley family), and there's no mention yet of them using that trophy, or indeed anything related to Cho Chang, but there's time yet, but this is the first trickle of info.

INCENTIVE CARDS

10 Case Incentive   :  Monolith Trophy
25 Case Incentive   :  Death Eater Wands

 
There's rumours of a UK 2 case incentive again - part of the burned tent from the death eater march :)

So that's the first info to trickle through!

More info just in suggests that there will also be an Amos Diggory auto and repeats again that there are 600 cases.

Standard bits and bobs:

9 filmcards
3 Lenticular case toppers
4 different box toppers
9 foil chase

Ships early Nov 2005 (which doesn't leave much space in front of the film!!!)

Nothing against Warwick Davies - but do we really  need another auto from him in whichever role he's playing? ::)
However, that's a good line-up on the rest of the autos and I'll be very interested to see the costume card inserts! ;) ;D

I'm quite excited about the Dumbledore costume ;D along with the champion costumes and the evil Rita Skeeter (more misguided and selfish than evil)

But again, love Warwick Davies, but don't really want his auto for the 5th time ;)

Maybe the monolith trophy is the trophy?

Other than some of the autos and Dumbledore's costume, I can't say I'm all that thrilled with the lineup so far. :-\

Georgetown Card Exchange is listing a release date of November 2 (they have boxes at $64.95 each, 3 or more boxes at $59.95 each, and cases for $574.95).

Digital Heroes has boxes for $65 each.  They also had this image of the binder:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/kbmum/HPGobletBinder.jpg)

So far I think the costume line up is outstanding.  PLEASE add ties!  :o=  Not so thrilled about the props, but maybe once I see the movie I'll change my mind.  I'm hoping they're also going to use the Quidditch program and the Ministry of Magic banner shown at SDCC.

I personally am looking forward to the Crumb and Reeter Skeeter autographs... totally brand new characters for sure! :rofl:

I want the Champions costume set... and Krum/Diggory autos... wonder if they can get Fleur to sign as well?

WE HAVE NEWS!!!! :rofl:

I'm so happy to see a Cedric auto and costume. I'll defently need to get ahold of these.

And yes, we need TIES!! I dont see any hedge leaves from the third task (and I thought I'd finally get my first leaf from an HP movie :'( )

Well, 6 costumes were not mentioned, so we could have ties....I am also still hoping to see a dragon scale in there somewhere. 

Would you say the big auto of this set would be Brendan Gleeson?  I really wish Snape and McGonnagal would sign already!!!!!

And no mention of odds, huh?  Are we assuming it is one costume or prop per box, 5 autos per case and 3 filmcards per case again?

I hope they throw some Emma and Katie stuff in there :-X

I really think they are letting out little tidbits just to give us the "whopper" so to say when they anounce they got Ralph Fiennes to sign. I would think they would be able to get him. However, I really love Brendan Gleeson also...so he will be an signer I am definetly going to hope to pull.

I'm hoping they use the inside red and yellow mesh from Harry and Cedric's task robes.  Not the outside black.

I hate to say it but the whole line-up looks weak. Once again no Hagrid, Prof. Mc, Prof Sprout, Nurse Pomfrey or Snape auto.  ::)  Props uninspired.   :P  Why not an Irish flag as well, Leprechaun gold, Dragon scales, Butterbeer lable, Rita's AUTO Write Quill, The Quibbler, and where is the rare "Veggie" prop.   ::) There are a lot of better subjects for PROPs than what seem to be in the news/rumor. I hope it is a LOT better than it appears. This is Artbox's chance to influence the next sets success. If GOF bombs the sets that follow surely will.

wait, after a VERY quick rethinking of this...maybe they won't have Fiennes sign....I only say this because maybe they do NOT want a good image of Voldemort to be released before the film....I mean I know we got a quick flash of him in the new trailer...but a close up of him would more than likely be used for the card right? Which simply means, look forward to the Update set if you were looking forward to him signing.

I wouldnt mind if they used both because then I'd get both kinds of varients. Like they did for Harry's Quidditch Robe for SS (just not as thick :rofl:)


I'd have to agree. I really dont like the idea of a trophey because thats not something as big (or cool 8) ) as a dragon scale or something. I'd love to have Leprechaun gold and Butterbeer Label...maybe Artbox DOES need to listen to us. Maybe then they'd actually make money ::)


That would be awsome...maybe they could use some of the better props then like they did for PoAU :P

Yep, 3 out of 9 props are Yule ball related.  Do we really need that many?  And a Dragon canopy and Dragon Bag?   ???  I'll definately be going for the costumes this time around.

Please no update set!!  Unless it yields better sgners/props/costumes than this.  Although to be fair, I do love the update set from PoA.

I do hope to see some of Emma's costumes and Ruperts as well.

And John, your prop suggestions were great!!  You should go work for them. I was expecting this set to be spectacular...well, I hope the few they are holding back from us are great!

As for the dual auto, maybe it is Mr and Mrs Weasley?  Although, she isn't in this one, is she?

I know, GIVE US SOMETHING FROM THE DRAGON. Not a bag ::) And do we really need a canopy or something from the Yule Ball. All I really want is the Invitation :P

I'm going with Kelly on this, the costumes are much better this set around. But I dont see my triple for all the task uniforms ;)

Dream on, Mike!  ;)  Maybe the Weasley auto will be the older Weasley boys.  Charlie and (forgot his name)  Were they both in GOF?

Charlie was...and I think you mean Bill, right?

Yep!  Charlie was the Dragon wrangler right?  But I don't remember if Bill showed up in GOF.

Is the dragon bag the one they pick which dragon they will have from.

Possibly but why couldnt they just say that ::)

Oh wait...I forgot, thats to hard for Artbox >:()

I don't know about the movie, but Bill Weasley is in the book.  He and Molly came to see Harry before the third task, and he was in the hospital with Harry afterward.  Dumbledore sent him to inform Arthur that Voldemort was back.  So, a Charlie and Bill dual auto is a possibility.

There will probably never be a Hagrid auto.  I've read that Robbie Coltrane refuses to sign autos for any card set.

Did anyone else notice there was no mention of a Daily Prophet prop?  They have to have one!  I'm counting on a Daily Prophet with every set. ::)

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but the dragon looks more leathery than scaly.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/kbmum/r_props_horntail02.jpg)  (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/kbmum/r_props_horntail01.jpg)

What about a leather scale :-\

Just a piece of the dragon would do...any piece.

And Cindy, you are right!  where is the DP?

Remember for SS, they didnt have it up there but there was still one ???

And Early November?  I want it now. lol.

I think I read

a costume in each box
5 autos per case
3 props a case
and 3 filmcards a case

But that may be a slip of the keyboard, as that would mean cases were overloaded with things, we'll have to wait and see - info on insert odds are always rather vague at this stage.

Normally, I want it to be a costume or prop per box, as that gives me a better shot at pulling a prop (although I rarely do), but with this set, I think I like the costumes more...so far anyway.  Although, if those odds are right, it would be nice to get 2-3 inserts per box again, you know?

Is it just me, or is there less in this set that there was in SS?  You would think that with SS being an older movie, they would have been able to obtain less props and costumes than for this set, which is a brand new movie.

Well you cant use everything from the movie then there would have to be 2000 cases to hold everything :rofl:

Artbox doesn't announce every card with the first release of info.  I'm sure we'll find out about more cards sometime next month.

To be fair, Inkworks is coming out with the LOST set in November as well, and there is absolutely no information that I could find on that either.  So at least we got something from Artbox.

I agree.  If it's going to be one costume per box, I may end up buying a case.  That way if the collation is good, I'll have nearly a complete costume set.  I guess we'll see.

I gotta agree with LikORish-Spider on this one; the info/rumors up 'til now make the set seem uninspired. I could do without a Seamus or Prof. Flitwick auto again, go for some other member of Gryffindor or a different Prof. I am glad to see Brendan Gleeson and Miranda Richardson's autos in there, but really, they are the only ones I'm glad to see in there so far (I know, they have 2 of the 4 Triwizard Champions, half of them, but that's like having half a horseshoe; just can't play the game that way :p). As for the props, three from the Yule Ball, a Dragon Bag and Canopy, and a Burnt Tent? A Burnt Tent?!? Think of how big a tent is; it'll be like the Lupin Coat of the series, numbered to 4000, and your variants are crispy or non-crispy. And the one set in which a couple of Quidditch Robe cards would have been nice, they are gone. I mean, common, the Irish teams dark emerald green robes would make wonderful costume cards, and Bulgerias dark red would...um...okay, we have that color already, but that's besides the point really. I am looking forward to the Dumbledore costume card...or is that the material used to make Dumbledore's Costume card? Hm. Maybe I'm being overly harsh, and we really don't have the whole picture on the set yet, but I'm just not that excited about it yet (I'll admit, I was much more excited about SS at this point).

All I'm really pumped for is that we get to see a little of the movie thanks to the cards but...thats about it ::)

We'll, given that this will be coming out the beginning of Nov. (or so they say), only a week or two before the movie, even that prospect isn't as enticing as it might have been.

POAU had three from the Divination class:  Unfogging the Future book, the red material with gold stitching, and the second Divination material prop that had two variations (blue background and purple background).  There were some really good variants for all of those cards.  Maybe the Yule Ball will also have nice variants. :o=  On the other hand, if those cards are very limited in number, their appeal will increase immensely!


 :rofl:

And as for a burnt tent, sure hope the "burnt" smell is out of it.

I don't know, that might be kinda cool; like a scratch & sniff prop card you didn't have to scratch to sniff.  >:D

 :rofl:  You are too funny Casey! ;D

Easy answer for that one: Make one of the props a piece of Mad-Eye's trunk! Plenty of room behind the fifth lock.

 8) The scratch and sniff sounds like a great idea. lol :rofl: Maybe some socks? or maybe smelly t-shirt? The possiblilites are endless. Artbox needs to come up with something that will bring their franchise back "online". It almost seems that they dont have the money to sign the big name actors for autos and people that actually know how to be creative on the harry potter cards. Me and my son were talking about this the other day and he said that is why they produced so many of the POA update so they could pay the big 3.  >:D What do you guys think?

It's estimated that Emma and Rupert signed about 150 each, and Dan less than 100.  Just how much would they have been paid for that?

A lot of other sets have sketch cards.  If Artbox is having problems getting enough autos, maybe they should consider adding sketches.  They haven't tried this before, so it might get them some attention.

As for smelly cards, Artbox missed an opportunity with the SS set -- a troll costume!  We have a pop-up book for SS.  When we open the two-page spread with the troll, there's a terrible odor.  At first I thought something was wrong with the book.  Then I saw a small, round spot on a page and realized it was a scratch-and-sniff spot.  You definitely don't have to scratch it!  The smell is truly nauseating. :P

 :D That is a good idea!  Sketch cards worked well with Star Wars. I hope artbox is reading this. I believe alot of collectors would jump in on this idea. Maybe they should further and have custumes and sketch cards together. I dont believe thats ever been done. How about autos and costumes together? My son told me that would be a great idea. Many of the sport cards that he collects are doing this now. Wow they have alot of options!  Lets hope they suprise us because if they dont they will loose alot of collectors. :o=

At this point in the game, any spurt of creativy on Artbox's part may seem like desperation to those who have abandoned the ship, and those halfway over the side; but still, it'd be nice to see 'em get really creative.

 ;D Yes very much. My son wants to pre-order two cases but with so few good signers, original costumes, and other ideas I wonder if I should? ??? What do yall plan on doing?

Heck, I can barely afford one case, and that's with throwing any birthday money I may still get at 24 (well, 25 then) into the pot; but I'll still go for the case. Just because.

Based on yesterday's info, I'm getting one box. :-\

 ??? It sure makes it tuff to decide. My son is getting money for his birthday in a few days from his grandpa and harry potter was one of his choices to spend it on.  I wish I got that kind of money for my birthday! :'(

Hi all
At this stage i will probably buy a couple of boxes after the release rather than preorder anything.
I am actually excited about a few of the autos especially Cedric and Rita.
No way will i buy cases because of this but will save my money to pick these up on ebay and then buy boxes just for the thrill (and a base set or three).
SOOOOO looking forward to the movie and the set is MUCH, MUCH  more interesting to me than Sorcerer's Stone.

I had no interest in that set at all and i think more people will be likely to pick up Goblet than Sorcerers. Just because its more recent and doesn't feature all the gang when they were still tiny. The base set alone will be fascinating.

 I really liked both Azkaban sets and still have warm feelings about the two releases. Then again i didn't buy lots of cases and lose lots of money  :'( but they are still a great couple of sets and have fantastic autos which we probably will never see in a release together again.
Anyway I can't wait for the release of the Goblet set and will be watching  :ebay: with hawk eyes.
Cheers
Inger

I think that they made so many cases of PoAU because they had orders for so many cases.

Unfortunately people thought they were being clever - they were told they would probably be allocated (i.e. only given a small percentage of what they ordered), and they ordered double or more of what they wanted so that they would get enough.... so it all added up to disaster for dealers, especially in the UK where the whole market seems to still be in the doldrums because of it.

Personally I wouldn't collect HP sketches, but that's just a personal preference, but costumes and autos on one card is a great idea and has already been done in non-sports by Inkworks (X-files connections) and Rittenhouse (Enterprise) to name just a few.

I know what you mean Inger, the base set is something to look forward to a lot more than the SS one, but it was still a nice set to look at :D

The latest issue of Non-Sport Update confirms that there will be an update set.  Artbox wasn't allowed to use many CGI images for GOF, but they will be able to use them for GOFU.  Someone from the company was quoted that they have plenty of costumes and props to support both sets.

I was just browsing eBay at the pre-sales of GOF cases and came across this one.  What interested me was the breakdown this seller is quoting per case (from the VP of Artbox)!!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/HARRY-POTTER-and-the-GOBLET-OF-FIRE-10-BOX-MASTER-CASE_W0QQitemZ5245240117QQcategoryZ2535QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem


If this is true, I will definitely be getting some cases!!! :o=

The seller is mistaken.  The numbers he's quoting are not per case.  They are the contents of the entire set; that is, Artbox is producing 9-12 autos, 8-10 props, 8-10 costumes, and 9 filmcards for the set.  The likely breakdown per case could be 5 costumes, 5 props, 5 autos, and 3 filmcards.

He also made a mistake here:  2 -3  box toppers (ONE IN EVERY 4 BOXES !)

A box topper is an insert that's put inside each box, not one in every four boxes.  I think he confused it with the case loaders -- the lenticulars that are packed one per case.  Artbox has produced three case loaders for each HP release.

Last, but not least, look at this claim:  MASTER is a fancy name for HOBBY, US BIGGER , (more money spending)!, dealers get "MASTER" cases, (rumor is they have a "bit more inserts", but no promise on that one).

He's implying that he's a bigger dealer and that he might be getting "master cases."  Unless this is something new, Artbox hasn't done master cases.  POA did have archive boxes, which contained all or most of the pack-pulled inserts, but they did not do archive boxes for POAU or SS.

For what it's worth, I had problems with this seller last spring. :-\  I would be very wary of any seller making claims like this one is.

Yeah, he seems a bit fishy to me.

OOOOOOOOOOOHHH!  Now that you break it down like that, this seller does seem to be S-T-R-E-A-T-C-H-I-N-G the truth a tad!!!  >:(   As far as buying, I'll be buying from tomunique!!! 

Anyone who buys from him and expects 35 inserts per case is going to be very disappointed!

 I agree that a master case sounds a bit "fishy" to me.  :-\ I had a lot of difficulty getting my cases last year. (they didnt order enough) I will be watching for the best deal on ebay :ebay: A good hint for better prices is to contact some of the owners on ebay. Sometimes they will give a better price quote and throw in shipping for free! :o=

I'll be joining HPFamily and going with Tom.
I have bought almost all my cases/boxes from him in the past (as well as an Azkaban master set in the early days-ie when i had money!).
He is the amongst the best i have dealt with on ebay.
Hmm makes me feel like buying another Update box...maybe this one will have my Triple auto! ::)

I wouldn't be interested in sketches and really hope Artbox doesn't go down that path. Pretty soon companies rely on sketches to sell their sets and let the autos and costume cards slip.
I'm sure its easier to get some little known artists to do some drawings than it is to get actors to sign cards.
Topps have done that with their Star Wars sets and i stopped buying them soon after (well soon after i got a Paul Rudish Clone Wars card-ok so some artists are worth it but there is alot of junk).

Ok I'm off to watch the trailer just one more time.
I so can't wait to see this film! I can't get over how consistantly well these movies have been cast. Victor and Cedric seem perfect to me even though i had my doubts when i first saw their pictures.
Inger

One card we haven't heard anything about is a Draco auto.  This would be a good set for it!

 ::) SURE WOULD BE NICE TO GET A DRACO AUTO OR ANY OF THE BIG CHARACTERS.  :o= MAYBE THEY WILL SUPRISE US. MAYBE IN THE UPDATE OF GOF? NEVER KNOW WITH ARTBOX.  :-\ :-\

Maybe they are waiting to do a triple Malfoy (Lucius, Narcissa, and Draco) auto for Ootp.

Does anyone know if Tom is taking pre-orders yet?

Yes, he is! :)

 ;D YES AND YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY UNTIL STREETDATE.   :o HOW MANY DEALERS WILL DO THAT! :o

Ask John if he ordered his yet :P

NEED you ask?  :rofl: I ordered mine in May.

When I woke up this morning I decided to write Artbox about GOF info since I'm getting mad because I'm dying to open a box :rofl: They sent a message back with the dealers info. Nothing new...I  think Roz posted about the 2, 5, 10, and 25 case incentive cards? Let me know and I'll post the info if its ok with Roz

Please post what you have! If it is ok of course....I have not heard about the incentives other than the two case Tent card

Not really much new info

ORDER DEADLINE September 30, 2005!

Costumes are inserted 1 per box, no guarantee numbers per box?  What does that mean?  They will insert one costume per box, but if they screw up on insertion and you get 0 per box, too bad for you?  ???

Amos Diggery is signing. I wish they'd get the wife to sign so I can have the whole Diggery Family

Kelly,
It is exactly what the did with POAU, it is just to cover their butts whenever they mess up in production and we get dead boxes with nothing in them. They say one per box, but yes, there might be some boxes with nothing.

Artbox can do that though. Topps on the other hand i LOVE because they insert (for instance) LOTR costume cards from the TTTU set 1:33 packs, and there are 36 packs a box, so it is 100% guaranteed to get one, sometimes, on rare chance, you will even get 2 (as I did in a box) same goes for autographs....1:113 packs, with 144 packs per case

3 prop cards per case? *sigh*  :-\ The more I hear, the more dicuraged I get about this set. Oh well, maybe it'll get better. :(

I believe that 3 props and 3 filmcards per case was the standard for the SS and POAU cases, too.

Well, I know it was for the filmcards, but for SS, wasn't it 5 costume/5 prop per case (though mine ended up being 4 costume/6 prop...stupid three restricted section book bits  >:D )?

Now that you mention it, I think the odds were either a costume or prop in every box.  But, did it mostly work out to 5 costumes and 5 props per case, or did it swing toward slightly more costumes than props?  I didn't pull a prop from any of my three boxes.

I am loving the death eaters wand!
Cannot wait for these to start hitting e-Bay!

Most of the SS cases had 5 costumes, 5 props, 5 autographs and 3 filmcards.  There were noted variations like 4 costumes & 6 props or missing costumes/props also.  So it sounds like with the GoF set that the prop cards will be even more rarer (and expensive) than other sets if there are only 3 per case. :P

Graet, even more harder to get prop cards.  >:()

I just really hope they don't go silly with the thickness of the cards again.  Some made sense - the Fluffy fur, Wand cards etc.  But others like the quidditch cloak were unnecessarily thick.  I don't know if Artbox thinks by making them thick they look more expensive but for the collector they are just a pain to store.

After seeing some of the pictures from the film the one prop card I would love would be a dual Fred and George beard card.  That would be cool  8)

 :rofl:  That would be hysterical! ;D  I hope they make that one. :o=

Gillyweed might be a possible prop card. Heres a picture from GOF

(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y76/EmmasOneandOnly/GOF/nevillegillyweed.jpg)

Fred and George's beards and gillyweed -- ohhhhh Kelly, I have some new prop ideas for you! ;D

I'm fairly certain that one of the props in the new set or the update will be a World Cup poster.  Someone has a replica up on ebay right now.  I thought it was just a made up one, but then I saw a really blurry photo from SDCC and it had the poster in the background.  I'll try to find a link soon.

 :D Thanks Kelly!  Looking forward to all the info that we can get our hands on. ;D

Wait a minute, wait a minute!  I just found a clearer picture but it says PROGRAM on it.  ???  I thought the mulicolored squares booklet was the program.  It's in the photo on the second row, 3rd from the left.  Under the blue wand box next to the Wonks stuff.  I never noticed it before and I've looked at these pictures a lot.  It looks like it has a bunch of colorfull pages, but why are there 2 differerent props that say PROGRAM on them?  :-\
http://ww.rebelscum.com/gallery/sdcc-hp-props/default.asp
Here's another.  Scroll down to 2:53 time.
http://nonsportupdate.infopop.cc/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/6236037711/m/9741059211/p/3

Maybe it's a program for a different event, like the Yule Ball or the Triward Tournament.

Nope, check the second photo I just posted as an update.  It's definately Quidditch, but I also know that it has all of the world teams listed on the cover of the blue one.  So maybe the blue is the playoffs and the squares one is the championship final?

 ;D I just went to that board to look, too!  Since I've already uploaded two scans to my Photobucket account, here they are.  Maybe, then, it's like going to the theatre or ballet -- you receive a free program when you walk in the door, but there's also a glossy, full-color program you can buy.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/kbmum/artbox03.jpg)  (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/kbmum/artbox04.jpg)

That might be it.  ;D

Hang on we always have to buy both programes ??? yeah think that may be it anyway ;)

So now we have a Yule ball invite, Yule ball poster, Yule ball banner, World Cup Program 1 and a World cup program 2?  That's 5 of 9 props and not very inventive.  :-\  Maybe one of the programs will be in the update.

I hope the whole set is not props from The Ball and Cup ::)

it is still blowing my mind that they have not anounced a whole set of anything yet, we still do not know all the props, costumes, or autographs for the set. Just to know all 9 costumes, or all 9 props, or anything would be nice. I want to buy a case or two from tom....but I don't know if this set will be worth it at all.

 ??? It looks like they what till the last second until they announce to keep us guessing. You would think this would be the other way around :P Hopefully they will shock us with something outstanding at the last second.  :o Do all of yall at the Yakshack think this is the way to do business?  8) Maybe reverse sycollegy? I would think this would hurt their sales.  What do you think Roz?

I think it's a very poor way of getting interest in a new release - many other card companies have detailed information as to what's going to be inserted into their sets but Artbox don't seem to like doing that.
Don't hold your breath on being shocked by an outstanding last-minute card insert either ...
Mind you, we all had a heap of fun reading what Anna and John got when they broke their card cases a few months ago, so perhaps they'll be good enough to repeat it with GoF ... ;)

I believe I may have said this before, but I think the Update for this set is going to be GREAT. I know for a fact that Artbox cannot use most of the CGI for the film, so this means the Dragon, and I would be SHOCKED is they had a card with Voldemort on it...this means we could possibly be looking forward to a Ralph Fiennes autograph and maybe the one card everyone seems to want, the dragon scale, in the update. Plus (because I have not read the books) I am sure there are a TON of other cool possibilities as far as the CGI/Animatronic creatures go

The creatures in the movie are the dragon, mermaids and grindylows. Thats about it for this one. I dont think Dobbys in it because they toke out S.P.E.W. and it looks like Neville gives Harry the Gillyweed, not Dobby ether. I want to see for the update a piece of the Portkey boot...is it still a boot in the movie :-\. Well, if it is then I want a piece. I want Emmas Yule Ball Dress too.

Anyways, I hope they do gives us at least something good at the last minute. I'm really only going for Harry and Cedric this time so I probably wont care if this is all they give us. I'm much more looking forward to the Update :o= 

Seen this yet?
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y102/LikORish-Spider/Goblet%20of%20Fire/GOFSalesInfo.jpg)

OMFG!!! :o :o :o

Sirius! Mad-eye! Myrtle!!!

*collapses in shock*

oh, theres another sirius auto! I might actually have a chance this time!  :o

Agreeing exactly with what FTY just posted!!! Methinks, this may change my opinion on this set ... it's about time ^-^

Oh yes and another shot at the Sirius auto doesn't hurt either ... I wonder how many more of these artbox "updates" we may see until the release. How many was it for the SS set.

I like the design of the cards, too.

Let the drooling begin!

boy, im beginning to wish id stuck with getting a case like I was going to...but four boxes should be more than enough

I like the design, too!  Mike is going to be very happy with a new Emma costume. ;)

The design is very Slytherin like, isn't it ;)

wow!!!
Artbox did exactly what I hoped they would do! I wanted a Sirius autograph from the POA set SOOOOOOO badly and now I might also have a better chance. I am excited about this now. I was going to just go for a master set, but it sounds like I might be ordering a case or two to open!

The cards do look cool 8) , but what is that pyramid thingy?  Could that be the Monolith Trophy prop card? ???  It looks taller than the CatCF Long Grass prop card! :o

The design is very cool.Slightly different to what weve seen before which is great!

yep, i think thats the trophy...

oh boy, here come ridiculous Variants! look at all the different plates on the trophy, you know this one is going to be a huge seller on ebay

depends on how many too i guess...and which part of the trophy they actually use...

well....if it is the 10 case variant and there are 600 cases being made there should be 60 of them. The trophy looks HUGE...so you are right...not a lot of it will be used at all.

Do they actually make 60 though? cos the cases arent necessarily sold in 10-case lots...

very true. Usually they make extra though and keep some or give them out among company workers

For the SS set the 10-case incentive was the Wand card which were numbered to 205 and there were 800 cases.  So they do make quite a few extras.

They have to have something to put into those famous grab-bags,  >:() >:() >:() don't they? :rofl: :rofl:

 :rofl:

Yea!!!!!  I wish there was a jumping for joy smiley!  The only thing I don't like is the black swatch for Harry's champions robe.  LOTS of varients please!  :o=

true...now if only they came and sold them in Australia...   :rofl:

I hope they do like Harry Quidditch Robe for the First Task Robe, I've said this before, I want the four varients: mesh, nylon robe, the yellow stripping and letters  

Hm...all my grumping and hrumping about how little this set has interested me thus far may be a little brighter...if only because of a chance at a Gary Oldman auto card. I would like some more info on prop cards and a picture or two, though, before I decide to get really happy about the set though (the picture of the Barty Crouch Jr. prop card makes me think of some baaaaaaaaaad 80's wardrobe.

Am I the only one that is a bit disappointed with Artbox on the fact that they have mentioned 3 props in specific on this sheet, 2 of which are high-end incentive cards? >:()

Not only that, but the fact that I find out about this here instead of from the fine folks who sell me the cards... :P

Good thing Artbox has a few good licences to keep people coming back, because their business and marketing practices sure don't make me want to keep ordering from them...  >:(

I knew their 2nd half of 2005 release schedule was too ambitious.  Does not look like either Zorro set will be made, Frankenstein has been moved back to December, and no word on Doom either...  The only thing that keep the Potter cards coming on time is that I would imagine they have a contractural obligation with the studio to have the cards released prior to the film's release.

[soapbox mode off]

Ed

I wonder why they changed the outline around the swatches?  They're the same for POA and SS.  I thought they would stick with that one for the entire series.

WHAT SHEET, I JUST NOW LOGGED BACK ON A FEW MINUTED AGO...I MISSED SOMETHING PLEASE POINT ME THE RIGHT WAY :o= :o= :o= :o=

Go back to page 17 and scoll up I think.   ;)

THANK YOU THANKS >:D >:D >:D

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I GET EMMA WATSON CARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow! my opinion has totally changed about this set. I am sooooooo glad that we get a Moaning Myrtle auto..and another Sirius Black.  ;D Im definetely getting 2 cases!  :)

The new swatch design is cool and really gives it more of a medieval feel. I also think that somehow it makes the swatch look bigger, although I bet it's the same size ;) great illusion!

Maybe it is!  The costume might be from the pensieve scene when Crouch Jr. was on trial for torturing the Longbottoms in 1981.

Does anyone know what the Monolith Trophy is?  I can't remember that term in the book.  Is it presented to the winner of the Quidditch World Cup or the Triwizard Tournament?  I've sent an email to Artbox, but they might not know.

I could be completly off on this, especially since I have not read the books...but I was under the impresion it was just one of MANY trophies in the Trophy Room...because of the fact that it is so big (or so it looks) it will stick out on film pretty well (hopefully) I believe each little plate on there is a different award and they just filled up the trophy with different awards. But then again, I haven't even read the books...so that is my shot in the dark

There is a picture somewhere of Harry in a trophy room.  I'll have to find it.

**********

Well, I can't find that picture, but I did find this:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/kbmum/monolithtrophy.jpg)

Some of the plates read:

Class of 1984

Seeker of the Year 1983

So, it must be a Hogwarts trophy.

Oh My!!  I Love the new swatch design!!

And for Sirius's auto, is the picture going to be his head in the fire?  That is all he has in this movie, right?

In an interview, Gary Oldman said that the only thing he does in this movie is talk in a fire.  The picture on the card would have to be the fireplace scene.

;D SEE GUYS, YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A LITTLE FAITH. ARTBOX CANNOT AFFORD TO LET THIS LICENSE GO DOWN HILL..(THEY WOULD LOOSE TO MUCH MONEY AND HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING OTHERS.) STILL IT DOES BOTHER ME HOW THEY LET JUST A LITTLE INFO AT A TIME OUT. >:() THE GARY OLDMAN AUTO REALLY MAKES ME HAPPY ;D AND THERE MIGHT BE A FEW MORE SUPRISES AT THE VERY END. :o

There have to be Sixpence, it's really not that exciting as yet is it?

I have to agree; I mean, Gary Oldman and Brendan Gleeson as signers is nice, but we still haven't found out a whole lot about props, and only a few things about costume cards, so, no, as of yet, it's not really that exciting.

I was considering upping my order of 4 boxes to 5, but then I remembered there will be an update set.  I might have to wait for that set to get more boxes with.  I mean, if I knew more about the props and costumes in this set......then maybe....but they don't tell us enough info!!!!

With 4 boxes, I could get 1-2 autos, hopefully 1 prop and 1 filmcell, and 4 costumes, right?  I mean, if there is a prop, then you still get a costume, right?  Or is it back to one prop OR costume per box?

One prop OR costume per box? Oh, didn't you hear? Taking a page from Topps E-card book, Artbox is putting cards with PICTURES of prop, costume, or auto cards in it boxes; when you get one, you know you have it at Artbox HQ, safe and sound, in pristine condition.  :rofl: (for those just waking up this morning, yes, I'm joking  0:) )

 ;D WATCH OUT DARTHMACTOR! ARTBOX MIGHT JUST DO THAT! :rofl: :rofl:

Each case will have 10 costumes (one per box), 5 autos, 3 props, and 3 filmcards.  Please note that this is not a GUARANTEE, just the stated odds.  Artbox will not guarantee the distribution in any box or case.

So I know this is not a guarantee, but basically, lets just say that a case does indeed contain these cards..  That would be 21 cards in each case...so we should hopefully see 9 boxes with two inserts, and 1 with 3.....that would be great!

That's like saying, "You're Mixed Oreos Bag will have 10 Regular, 5 Mint, 3 Butterscotch & 3 Chocolate, but if your bag of Mixed Oreos has no Oreos in it, too bloody bad, we never promised you'd get those cookies in it."  >:()  :rofl:

Exactly! ;)  Even if you get a dud box, you'll still have lots of base cards and some foil cards.  That's worth $50-$60, right? ::)

 :rofl: >:() :rofl:

Now you all know what I was saying.... I was saying if by some miracle, the stated odds were actyually in a case, there should be 21 cards total in the case.  I never said it would actually happen :P

I love the new swatch as well, it does make it look bigger.

BTW - Nicole, love the new avatar ;)

8) NOW WATCH ME GET A CASE WITH THE NOT GUARANTIED BOX'S :'( >:() :rofl: LOL (EXCEPT FOR MY POCKETBOOK.

I am at work and my avatars do not move on my office PC.  So all I see for Nicole is a brown square.  Can someone please fill me in on what it does?

I'm only getting one box so fingers crossed on my part :P

It switches from Hermione to the HP logo.  It's brown, sort of like a sepia print.  I think it came from the GOF website.  I'm going to check!

Well, if I recall, those who got dud boxes with SS were opening cases, and they managed to get cards in the case to make up for the dud box.  If it were to happen this time, and I  :o= it doesn't, I can only hope it would not happen to those getting only one box.

Thanks Kelly!  I will have to check it out later from a computer that actually works right.

From what people posted about the SS set there were very few dud boxes.  I agree if you are only getting one or two boxes, any duds are too many.  But if Artbox do this like SS I think it will be really good.  I also really want a Gary Oldman - well that's all the Sirius cards bagsied for the Shack ;)

H*ly COW!!!  Seeing all of this recent info just intensifies the eagerness (is that a real word?) to want these
NOW, NOW, NOW!!!!!  I can't wait!!!

I bought two cases of SS and I was very happy with what I got.  I didn't get a single repeat!!! Out of all of the sets, I hope GOF is a lot like SS.

Excuse me while I go buy another case from Tom!!! ::)

BTW!!  Love everyones new avatars!!!!

;D  THANKS! I FINALLY GOT MY AVATOR GOING.  ;D

OH!!  But the X is sooo original!!! :rofl: :rofl:

I should probably change my avatar soon, but I like the colors of it so much!!!  Maybe if I could get a moving Basilisk from CoS, or a dragon from GoF......Hmmmmm, I could use my pumpkin from last years Halloween too..........

Anyway, back to Gof (got side tracked there for a second..sorry), I am extremely excited.  Now, what can I do until then to keep me busy??

What is the official release date?

 :rofl: :rofl: ONLY THE BEST X'S WILL DO :rofl:

I originally heard end of October, then beginning of November; so, kind of like with SS, whenever they decide to stop pushing it back.?. :P

Right now, the release date is early November.  That could change, though.

Oh I want a Sirius too, makes me really wish I could afford the case I wanted to get of this set  :'(

I am hoping it will be out like November 1!!  I can't wait too much longer!

 :-X ARTBOX IS FULL OF SUPRISES >:D

Not all of them pleasant   (:D#

Did you see it said costumes worn by the actors. But why do they wait until after it has sold out to tell us about what it has ::)

Actually, it says costumes worn by the character...bet they are trying to be sneaky.  ::)

My distributor has a new date of November 2nd for the release of this set. :o=

Subject to change, as always... ;)

Ed

Thanks Mike.  ;D
Found it on the GOF site and Hermione is my favourite character.  :)

Your lucky I didnt like the picture or I would have it ;) :rofl:

I hate we have to wait another few weeks ::)

I know. I want them now!  :P How many boxes/cases are you going to get Mike?  :)

I bought a case from Tom today and I asked him what the release date was (so I knew how many more weeks I had to buy more cases  ::)) and he told me November 4th!!!  It seems soooo far away!!!!

Sadly one box :( but I always "attack" the cards I want from members ;)

Oh, just a heads up fellow Yaks, I will be buying all the Emma cards if you dont mind >:D

(I think I finally found the perfect Avatar 8) )

Hey Mike
Can't Have Mine ;D >:D :rofl:
Have A Good Weekend
Rich


P.S Just Kidding I'll Help As Much As A I Can.

Oh, I'll find a way ;)

REALLY nice avatar, Mike!  ;D

Mike, if I get any extras, you'll be the first one to know!!!

EXCELLENT AVATAR MIKE!!!!!  8) 8) 8)

Kelly!!  I like your signature picture!!!  8) 8) 8)

Where do you all find this great stuff?

I spent the time I should have been cleaning house yesterday and made my banner instead.  >:D I also made the avatar.  I was inspired by the banners on the LOST Forum.  Some of those are AMAZING!  :o
http://www.lost-forum.com/

Thanks ;D


 ;D I couldnt decided from or the one I have :rofl:

Kelly,

How did you make the Banner, I cant make one with paint because the picture becomes fuzzy (thats why I changed my "Can You Handle This?" Avatar ::) )

I'll PM you Mike, so as not to clutter up this thread, but they have tutorials on the LOST Forum.  Mine is pretty basic, I use Photoshop Elements but I still don't know that much about it.

I saw the GOF calendars today and there is a picture of Sirius in some strange cadge things might that be whats on the auto ???

cadge ??? do you mean cage. If thats true, Barty Jr. is the only person in a cage in the movies, during his trial when Harry goes through the Pensive

Well I haven't got the calendar yet so I'm not 100% sure

I'm getting it as well, I've never seen the back. I'm also going to get the Planner and Desk Calender 8)

Did you see this online or in a store?  If you saw it online, please post the link!

I haven't seen the desk calendar, mum got me it last year and its great. There has been a bog lack of all things potter this time >:(

Then, where did you see the picture of Sirius?

The normal calendar and the planner on the calendar stall at the mall ;D

http://www.calendarclub.co.uk/results.asp?TID={8AA6C612-F841-4707-9505-0674E265A44E}&PID=1

Here's there online varsion, if you click on the calendars theres an option to see the back look at octorber on the planner. ;)

The Leaky Cauldron site has been posting a lot of pictures from the desk calendar, but I haven't seen that one yet.

Oh, thats not Sirius. BTW - Sirius (Gary Oldmen) only appereas in the fireplace scene. In a interview froma a few weeks or so ago he said that he was only in one scene in the movie and was disppointed by it because he so much wanted to do more. Thats this guy
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y76/EmmasOneandOnly/karkaroff.jpg)

That's Karkarov, headmaster of Durmstrang.

ahh well in my defence it was a small picture and I haven't actually got a calendar to look at yet.

WOW!!! :o :o :o :o

I don't think this seller will sell many!!!!   ::)

People in the UK (and other countries overseas) pay a lot more for their cards than we do in the US.  They have to pay real hefty import/customs duties on their cards. :P  I think this is a normal price for them to pay for a case of box. :-\

EDIT: I forgot to add that they pay around US $65 a case for shipping too. :P

WOW!!!! :'(

T'isn't funny how much we have to pay ... :'(
Maybe now you'll understand why so many UK buyers look to the US to buy their single cards and make such a fuss over how the Customs forms are filled-in for their items. :-\

It's CRAZY!!!!!  I guess I never realized!!!!

Nope its not fair I think we should just go over there and buy all the cards but then they would get us on the way back :( card smuggling anyone?

They'll check your bags but they wont take anything. I brought back loads from Las Vagas and all they did was throw it (not litaraly) through this huge scanner and send it to the plane. I know its not like from the UK to the US but if it doesnt seem threating then they wont inspect it throughly. I dont think they'll take it because its a threat for a paper cut :rofl:   

Yeah maybe they might not realise how expensive they are. Its not fair becuase you can't get them over here, Cards inc cards are ok but they don't have the cool inserts and they didn't even do SS/PS :(

I'm willing to help anyone out anytime!!! ;)

The yak shack card smuggling ring pmsl  :rofl:

Oh, I'll help too ;D

Mundungus will help with the deliveries.

I'm sure its right up his street ;)

OOOOOHHHHH  WWWWOOOOOWWWWW!!!!


I just saw a new commercial for GOF!!!  It showed new scenes that what the trailer didn't!!

My blood is rushing!!!!  I CAN"T WAIT!!!! (we need a jumping up and down gif!!!)

Now this would make an incredible McGonagall costume card!

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/kbmum/yuleball.jpg)

Can you imagine if they used Viktor's coat, how thick the card would be, especially part of the fur? :o

Dumbledore's outfit would be nice, too.  Anything but black fabric swatches!

I'm sure Mike would LOVE a costume with some of Hermione's Ball Gown in it - imagine how bright it would be!! :o ;D

Poor Victor having to dance in those boots!

From what we've seen so far, I think the costumes could be more exciting than the props. :-\

I thought Hermy-own's dress was meant to be periwinkle blue? :o

(Sorry I am just re-reading GoF and am being particularly picky ;) )

It's supposed to be blue, but maybe the director thought pink went better with her coloring or stood out better against the gray-steel blue colors in the Great Hall.

Just me being picky... it all looks lovely regardless, although Harry WAS meant to be wearing bottle green dress robes *is being one of those annoying book fanatic types* ;)

All these tantalising pics - I don't know if they are good or bad... reminding us how long we have to wait! I have to say this is one of the movies I have been looking forward to the most in recent times, the only other movie I think I got more excited about was probably Return of the King :)

Where did you get that picture, Kbmum?
Poor Hermione if he steps on her foot!  :o

There are other pictures here, but I didn't want to overtax my poor Photobucket account. :)

http://www.harrypotter-xperts.de/index.php?page=1&id=2503&shash=ad370d5060f28fa8da6f64da86e555c6

Thanks for the link.  Those are some nice photos.  You know, I was never all that thrilled with Cho, but she looks STUNNING with her hair up!  Nice dress too.

I think that the actress that plays Parvati looks gorgeous in that Yule Ball pic... how does her hair get to that length and still look perfect :P ;D

Monica looks a little like Parvati. I think so but she said from behind ::) Then again Monica thinks I look like Samous and I think she's totally crazy ::)

I want a bit of all those outfits they are lovely ;D

My hair could look like that if I had a stylist doing it everyday, well I may need some major extensions ;)

Also doesn't harry look a little freaky in that picture...maybe it is the first time he has touched a girl, or he wants to bite her head off (:D#.    A player would look a little less excited :rofl:

I can't wait to see the swatches of Dumbledore"s costume!!! (Hopefully)
I bet they're nice!!!!

I want a double for every character from the Yule Ball. Dumbledore and McGonagall, Harry and Pararti, Hermione and Viktor, Cedric and Cho, Ron and Fleur. How cool would that be :o=

Don't you mean Roger and Fleur and Ron and Padma, Mike?

Tut ;)

Sorry, havent read the books in forever and I swore I thought they cut that out ::)

There are some great new pictures posted on http://www.mugglenet.com/!!!

Harry looks sooo handsome in a tux!!!!

Dont you mean Dress Robe ;)

I'm kind of disappointed. I read in my Movie Magic magazine that "Some Hermione scenes had to be cut so the film could focus more on Harry" I wish we could vote on what goes into the DVD so we could have all these scenes ;D...

Don't despair Mike, I'm sure many of these cut scenes will be available once it's out on DVD. ;)

Heres to hoping :o=

Is there anymore news? Maybe a rumor...anything ??? ??? ???

Mike,
I have been wondering the same thing it doesn't sound like the release date is even firm at this point so I guess we will see.  At one point the release was rumored to be Nov 3 or 4 I think I heard that is only a few day past 2 weeks, it would seem they are going to push it back.

I'd hate to see the movie before the set ::) I guess thats Artbox for you :P

Hate to keep asking but has anyone heard a release date lately, at one time I thought it was supposed to be November 4th.  I am hoping that I will have mine in hand by NOV 11 because my brother will be out to California visiting from the 2nd to the 12th and I am hoping I can get him interested in some nonsports cards like HP.  It sucks that most people (other than YSers) think it pretty crazy.  I am keeping my fingers crossed for that time frame.

Modified to be NOV.... :-[

Hmm do you mean November instead of October?  ::)

For Oct 11 it is a little too late  ;D

I would prefer Oct, but I changed it to Nov, at least I am in the correct month even if my post isn't. :-[

I would perfer October as well, POA was released in May, before the movie, whats wrong with GOF :-\

did anyone notice that we do see Sirius in-the-flesh (sorry if this has already been mentioned, ive been ofline most of the day due to computer issues)...maybe there could be a costume card???  :o=

Sorry, Kate.  That's Karkarov from the pensieve scene.

really? mugglenet says its sirius...

I went to Mugglenet before I posted and the title says Karkarov (there are a couple of pictures).  They must have changed it.

Must have caught it or maybe a fan (like me) mailed in (like me ;D)

hmmm. strange. I did think he looked kind of strange, but i attributed that to it being  12 years earlier. ah well. Just hoping for the impossible i guess...

Dont worry, theres still OotP ;D

Look!!!  More scans!!!  I feel like I've seen the movie!!!!  ;D

http://www.mugglenet.com/movies/movie4/gofimages.shtml

Oooh, I loved all the new pictures. ;D

I'm glad I wasn't the only person to think that was sirius ::)

Ahhhhhh the highly trained eyes of the Yak Shack HarryPotter hawks :) you can't beat 'em

me too. I got all excited, then very disappointed  :(

I'd seen it on the calendar and thought it was him ::)

It does kind of look like him, and where I saw the pic it said it was Sirius at his trial...

Yes, you were lead up the garden path too. I just had a tiny picture to go on ::)

Did any one see on HPAP or whatever its called that Karakoff has a side kick that wasn't in the books.

Pictures have been removed by request from Warner Brothers.

Noooooo!  I didn't get a chance to see them!  >:()

Something told me to save a few >:()

Did anyone have new infos about the release date? Is it still the 4th November?

That'a a shame they took it down, they were really nice pictures. :'(

I had a dream last night that I won a box of GOF cards before they came out. The funny thing is, the autograph I pulled out of the box, was actually two Warwick Davies autographs stuck together
Even in my dreams I cannot pull good autographs!  :rofl:

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: That is just too funny :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

My husband keeps insisting that in our 4 boxes, that is the one auto we are definitely going to pull.

I will be okay with it, as I have all his other ones, so I sort of feel like I need this to go with them, but it would be nice to have to buy that one, and pull a different one.

Isn't it sad how all of us dream about these cards? 

That is funny I was just thinking the same thing after your post in the other thread.  And yes I too have had dreams about cards...really sad to admit that. :-[

Are you talking about my mention of the dream I had with the Diggory Dual?  An auto and costume in one?  Maybe I should email Artbox.

Speaking of, I emailed them to see if they would be attending the NY Comic Con in February...and they never got back to me >:(

So...with only 11 days left in the month, do we think we know what the release date is?

That is like the million dollar question.  I don't think anyone knows at one time the word was Nov 4, but by now I have a hard time believing that date will be met.  I usually check potomac's website and they have ship dates listed on preorder products.  Right now it says the 14th of Nov which from previous releases would likely mean the first cases will be opened a few days before that.

On the other hand they had the release date for Doom on Oct 17 up until today (the 20th) and they changed it to Nov 30 and Doom is an Artbox release.  I was interested to see the Doom set, but I think it will be a bust if they actually don't release it for a month and a half after the movie has come out...that just makes no sense and seems like a huge screw up.  I wonder if it is Artbox's mistake.  Has that ever happened before that a release was delayed over a month and a half after the movie was already released.  I think WB would be PO'd if they didn't get the set out by the time the movie is out.

I know, I have alot of online friends buying a box just for the base cards for a preview of the movie and decided to keep whatever they pull and they told me that if the movie comes out before the set they are going to ask for a refund because they see no since in buying it after to both Artox and Warner Bros. will lose a few dollars off them.

I'm hoping a praying they dont push it THAT far back because I would also like to get a box before the movie for the base set preview. 

OK! For all that were unable to see the scans recently posted on mugglenet (but then taken off) I found the same pictures on a different site.  The scans are #266 - #334.  So hurry before these get taken down also!!!!

I sent Artbox an e-mail asking for the release date and they just replied:

Hello Anna,

Thank you for your inquiry.
The release date is Nov. 4, to be shipped from our facility.

Please see the attached for an update.


Artbox Entertainment
Customer Service

So as of right now, it's still scheduled for the 4th, but does this mean they'll ship on the 4th? ???

The attachment they sent me was the flyer that was posted earlier in this thread.

Anna, based on what they said "The release date is Nov. 4, to be shipped from our facility." It would appear that they plan to ship them on the fourth from their warehouse or business center. So expect a couple extra days for them to hit the streets, the streets of course meaning Ebay

I emailed Artbox this morning about the release date, and here is the response:

Release date is Nov. 4, and that's when it'll start shipping from our facility.

Looks like it's still on track. :)

Oops!  Sorry Anna, I didn't see your post when I posted! :-[

Thank You!!!

Have you seen this?

(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y102/LikORish-Spider/Goblet%20of%20Fire/GOFSalesInfo2.jpg)

Nope, I don't think I've seen this one, John. Thanks ;D

But, I can't help but saying that it seems half of this set will be incentive cards ...

25 Case - Death Eater Wand
10 Case - Monolith Trophy (or however you spell that)
5 Case - Death Eater Costume
2 Case - HP (Daniel) Cards

1 Case (Tins) Incentive Card

I know I'm exaggerating, but I can't help it :-\ I wonder if they will have a 50 Case Incentive like the did for SS ???

Does this mean no Dan cards in boxes ???

Hm...what's with it saying "Death Eater Costume Material", where as the rest are described as "Materials worn by the characters of..."?

A lot of photos, both new and old, can also be found at http://www.unforgivable-curses.net/

I sincerely hope that Harry's triwizard costume is NOT a 2 case incentive.  >:()
Thanks for the picture, John!  I can't make out what the second card shown is.  It's a prop, but what?

The scene looks like the trial chamber were Kararov was tried. There is a photo on a thread that shows him and he looks like Sirius at first glance. Isn't that the accused's chair? I have no idea what the swatch is. It looks like part of a letter. Perhaps it's the charges against Karaarov.

*sigh* so even when we do get a flyer with "info" on the prop cards, theres nothing decent on it

Me as well but it wouldnt be that expensive to buy seeing as there would be a few hundred.

Yeah it really does look like it though Kelly, but we'll have to see. I'm mopping my brow that I'll have one but we have some members who have bought lots of cases so I'm sure that they'll have some spares.

And Mike in relation to numbers they need 300 as you say so I think we can expect it to be numbered to 450-600 or so, I'd be surprised if it was less, but I'm always glad to be surprised ;D

If it is a good costume card I'm sure us under-10-box getters should be able to find one and they shouldn't be :o OUTRAGEOUSLY :o expensive like a 20 or 30 case incentive

Thanks, John!

Well, the new info is that there will be a Dark Forces book prop, a Death Eater costume (wonder if it'll be the robes or the masks?) 5-case incentive, a Harry costume 2-case incentive, and an unknown case incentive for the tins.  I think Artbox could have given out a little more info. :-\

I can't remember if this was discussed or not, but the colors for the Costumes and Props are very similar to PoA/PoAU. They use the Dark Green and Deep Blue for both of these sets except the design behind it is quite different. So far, the pictures that they sent were close-ups of characters for both colors except the deep blue that has the cage in it. Is it safe to assume:

GoF
Costumes are Dark Green
Props are Deep Blue

PoA/PoAU was the complete opposite:
Costumes were Deep Blue
Props were Dark Green

This isn't that important, but it easily confuses me.

I would love to have a piece of the Dark Forces book myself  ;D

The Props and Costumes sound good to me then again this is my favorite book of all of the Harry Potter's so I am probably going to be easy to please when this set is released  :-[

Only two more weeks  :D

I'd like a Dark Forces book, too.  It would go well with the restricted section book from SS and the Unfogging the Future book from POAU. ;)

Dark Forces, Dark Smorces, gimmie a daily prophet card and I'll be happy. I mean, they gotta have on, right?  :-\

If I could get only one card from this set, it would be a Daily Prophet. :)  It was the first HP card I had to have, and I've been lucky enough to get one from every set so far.

That's funny how people go for different things in a set.  I only have 1 daily profit from the PoAU set and that's the only one I plan on getting from any release.  Yet I have all 5 of the different wizard candy from SS.  Go figure!  :)

So far, Artbox has had a nice assortment of cards, particularly the props.  I hope there is some improvement in the list of props we've seen for GOF.

Sounds interesting but I am not happy that the Harry card (doesn't sound like there will be others) is a case insentive >:() Ok I might eb able to buy one, but I'd rather have the chance of pulling it :(

I'm going for a Cedric Masters set for GOF ;D

I'm just hoping for some good varients in the costume and props (not much variation from a all black death eaters robe  :-\ )

6 days until the set (supposedly) starts to ship! :D

12 days till the movie ;D

So, some people may get the cards just in time to open them before going to see the movie.  :P

I'm going to savor the moment :rofl: I'm going to take Anna's advice and make it last more then 15 seconds :rofl:

Yes, you must make it last at least 37 seconds this time.

I say I will but when I get it I just tear it open :rofl:

Well, lets just hope it gets there before the movie  :o=

I got the word today that the GOF set will be shipped tomorrow or Monday. That means we should be seeing cards on a THREAD near you pretty soon.
Anyone drooling yet?

If they ship Tomorrow I hope to have them by Tuesday or Wednesday. Anna may get her's sooner.

If they ship tomorrow, I ahould have them by Tuesday or Wednesday as well.   :o=

I asked Artbox when my cases would be shipped and I was told:

Hello,

All westcoast addresses will ship on 11/16.

Thank you
Artbox Entertainment
Customer Service


So I won't get my cases until the 17th or 18th.  :'(   :'(   :'(

Drooling? Try HYPERVENTILATING!!!  :-X

That is really sad Anna!!  Well, if it makes you feel any better, I plan on not opening mine until the weekend so i can enjoy myself.  Don't know if I have the patience though :-\

But, you really never know what could happen with Artbox. You could have your cases first or last. It's as if they randomly mail their cases!!! Keep your head up and chin high you may be the first to get some cases and breakdowns ;D

Does anyone have any information on the retail set?  Last i heard was there was NOTHING in them at all.  Does this still stand?

Anna!! Don't you live fairly close to Artbox? I thought I read somewhere that they are only minutes from your home.  Can you go and have them "dropship" right into your arms??  :rofl:

I just thought of an amusing analogy ... Anna could go to the Artbox Factory and sniff that wonderful paper or card smell in the air. Charlie did it to the chocolate smell with Willy Wonka's Factory.


Sara (hope I spelled your name right :-\), I was also wondering about the retail set. If there are no inserts and the foils are the same, then why even buy it ???

That is TOO FUNNY!!!  :rofl: :rofl: Only because I LOVE the smell of new/fresh paper!!! *looking everywhere at my desk get a new/fresh paper sniff fix*  :rofl: :rofl:

You guys are too funny! ;D  I'm fairly close to Artbox, but I really doubt that they'd let me pick up my own cases. :P  I always thought the cards smelled more like glue than paper. :-\

That's OK too!!  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Have you been sniffing glue jackie? ;) :rofl:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Nope! ;)

I prefer the paper smell!!! My husband always laughs at me when we get a new book or I open a new pack of printing paper.  I automatically smell it!!   ::) :rofl: :rofl:

It looks like my IMAX theatre will be the only one in the entire world NOT showing GOF!  >:()  The Polar Express starts on Nov. 25th.  Not a word about GOF at all.  >:() >:() DOUBLE ANGRY!!!!  What are they thinking??  They would make a mint with GOF.  Polar Express?!?!  That's last years movie!  Oh, I could just spit!!  IDIOTS!

Thank you!!!  This means I am not alone!!!!!!!!

There is a local drive in theatre by me that will be playing GoF, but I will be going to a regular theatre. My husband might get the wrong idea if we go to a drive in ;)

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Take DEEEEP Breaths, Kelly!!!

breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out...

Funny how we all take HP so serious!!!  ;) ;D

I'm going to see Harry Potter at the IMAX theater in Ybor City 8) . Last year it toke us forever to find an IMAX theater for PoA ::)

Isn't IMAX just a bit too big to watch a movie on though?

We're just going to our small town theater.  It has one large screen and 3 smaller ones.
That's good enough for me!!!  ;D

seeing a movie in an IMAX theater is simply one of the most amazing moviegoing experiences there is. I saw Star Wars Episode III and Batman Begins in an IMAX theater and there is nothing like it.

Kinda off subject, but when artbox ships a case UPS, which speed do they use? I ordered from Tom, and it's being dropshipped, so it didn't go out, I'm assuming, until yesterday; do they use ground or air shipping?  :-\

I was wondering the same thing. Also, do you have to sign for the cases?

I'm pretty sure that Artbox uses UPS Ground or a similar speed with Fedex.

UPS Ground? Well, poop. That sucks. According to the UPS site, if they use UPS ground, and it shipped Wednesday from Artbox in California, it won't be here, in Oregon (one state up from California for the geographically challenged), until at least Monday.

UPS ground.  You don't have to sign.

Still poop, rather or not you need to sign or no. Still won't get it until Monday according to the UPS site.
