: First GOF box on eBay!
: kbmum November 17, 2005, 08:30:03 AM
The first box that a seller has in hand is on eBay right now (he or she is in Florida).  The auction states that the box was received today and has a box number.

If I hadnt had bought one already I would get it >:D

Is it more or does the box look a little bulky :-\

I thought so, too, but maybe it's just the angle.  I wonder if Kelly received her order?

Are you getting a case or a few boxes?


: Re: First GOF box on eBay!
: EmmasOneandOnly November 17, 2005, 08:46:43 AM
Thats probably it then.

She isnt on so maybe she did she just so overwelmed with excitement and forgot about us :rofl:

Not that I'm not excited, but sod the box, I know what a box looks like, lets see some cards.  ;D


: Re: First GOF box on eBay!
: kbmum November 17, 2005, 08:54:37 AM
 :rofl: Yeah, I know.  I keep checking eBay, hoping that that seller or others will start listing the individual cards tonight. :)  It shouldn't be long now.


: Re: First GOF box on eBay!
: EmmasOneandOnly November 17, 2005, 09:02:49 AM
Even thought I say I wont look I'm totally lying to myself :rofl:

ME WANT CARDS....NOW!!!

*Cool little avatar in siggy darth 8)*


: Re: First GOF box on eBay!
: darthmactor November 17, 2005, 09:05:32 AM
I don't even say I won't look, 'cause I know I will. Even if it makes me green with envy that some other chap has the card, at least I know what the card looks like.


*Thanks; I mean, common, he can't have a taco, and that's sad, because, well, tacos are good  :rofl: *


: Re: First GOF box on eBay!
: EmmasOneandOnly November 17, 2005, 09:11:24 AM
Thats why I should stop torturing myself :rofl:

*Mmm...taco ;D*

One thing I really want to see is the layout of the autograph cards for this set, as that is the only one we haven't seen a layout for; that's just me though.  >:D


: Re: First GOF box on eBay!
: EmmasOneandOnly November 17, 2005, 09:15:41 AM
I'd like to see that as well...what do you think it will look like :-\


: Re: First GOF box on eBay!
: darthmactor November 17, 2005, 09:19:38 AM
Well, my guess is, it will probably be a similier layout to the previous sets, with a reddish color scheme (like PoA and PoAU), with either a dragon or the hedge maze as the graphic design in the upper right hand portion of the card. Same white box for signatures in the lower right portion, picture of the character on the left. Unless they change things radically (which could be veeeeery neat). But then, that's just my guess, and only on the layout of the front of the card.

I cannot believe that if someone has a box already, there are no singles on Ebay.


: Re: First GOF box on eBay!
: darthmactor November 17, 2005, 09:22:55 AM
I know! If it was a Yaker who'd gotten the boxes, we'd probably have pictures of almost the whole set by now (well, okay, maybe not the whole thing, but we'd definitely have a good start towards it  ;D )

Well, it's nice to know that I've been missed.  ;)  Actually I'm staying away as much as possible and not reading any GOF posts (except for this one) until I get my case.  I figured I was safe on this thread since it was just a box on ebay, not a link to cards.  So no, I haven't gotten my case yet and I'm not really expecting it until Friday, but since the guy on ebay got his already I might hold out hope for a Thursday delivery!  :o=  UPS usually doesn't get to me until about 5:00 though, so I'm sure others will be posting pics before me.  As soon as I get my case everyone on the shack will be the first to know!  ;D

: HPfamily November 17, 2005, 09:49:22 AM
I'm guessing Anna will get hers tomorrow and all of you on the east!!! I can't wait!!! I, myself, though am getting worked up!! I am in Colorado which is on the very eastern most edge of the "western coast" states!!! And if Artbox shipped today to western coast states, that means it will be Friday, maybe even MONDAY (because FedEx does not deliver out where I live on weekends  >:() ) before I get my cases.  I am really starting to BUM!!!
But I am so excited to start seeing everyone's cards!!!  ;D  8)

Darthmactor, your new Cedric sig is SICK!  And totally hillarious!!  :rofl: :rofl:

Thank you, thank you. Just showing love for my home, Ced, since he ain't able to have them yumlicious tacos no more, yo.  :rofl:

I did think of that Bryanjs, but I figured that most, if not all, of the Potter fan shackers had read it already. If I find out they haven't though, I shall attempt to put taco cedric back in the box, so as not to spoil them.  :'(

And yes now I think we all know who died, as I haven't read the book yet and was trying to stay away from the spoiler, well I guess I will just get a taco.


: Re: First GOF box on eBay!
: Bryanjs14 November 17, 2005, 10:06:34 AM
yeah, I have not even picked up a Potter book. I am a movie fan....I was never a big reader

Okay, okay, I've taken it off.  :( *sigh* Alas, I thought it funny, sorry if it ruined it for anyone.  :'(

: Re: First GOF box on eBay!
: darthmactor November 17, 2005, 10:09:24 AM
Thanks Mike. I'll just wait to bring it back until after I'm sure all the shackers have seen the film, so it won't be a spoiler for those who don't read the books. Oh well...  :-\ So...um  :-\ How about those cards we haven't seen yet?  ???


: Re: First GOF box on eBay!
: EmmasOneandOnly November 17, 2005, 10:10:55 AM
I guess will see Cedric in two days ;D


: Re: First GOF box on eBay!

Put the Taco ad back on after all the Americans/Brits see it (whoever gets it last). Like Kate said, all us Aussie members have read it (and if not, it is an automatic ban for them >:D ;D)

I thought the ad was hilarious... based on some US ad, I assume?


: Re: First GOF box on eBay!
: mcgonagall November 17, 2005, 11:36:45 AM
put it on i haven't even seen it lol

McGonagall, I shall have to refer you to the newly created Cedric Taco thread. Enjoy!  >:D

Hehee - last time I heard anyone referring to a box as "stuffed" was when people found hot boxes, there was so much in those boxes that they were brimming to the edges. I don't believe that they have done hot boxes this time though and it doesn't really look overly full - great to see the box up close though ;D

I was talking with John about the evolving security seal -

PoA - nothing really except special pock marked cellophane
PoAU - A Sticker that read void when cracked (Did not work every time but hey ho)
SS - Cellophane stamped with Artbox

I really did hope they would be miniture security trolls stamping around the top of the boxes with this release - like the model Ron picked up of Victor Krum at the Quidditch World Cup :rofl:

Oo, hehe, my guess for the layout of the auto card was spot on, for once.  ;D
