Is there going to be an update set for GOF?

...please God, nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 :P

Erm... sorry yes - pencilled in for late spring

Of course there is.  It's on the calendar for April:

Lots of waiting and speculating on what Artbox will do before then though...

Why oh why??

And it will probably be as full on as the first set!!!

They should at least try and split a lot of the autos/props/costume between the two sets!!

Money...... they know us lot will queue up for it!

Well I knew it was a REALLY stupid question anyway.  I just wish they would be a little more imaginative when they decide what to include.  We just seem to get the same old stuff over an over again.  Quidditch robes, Neville's pyjamas, Harry's jumper.  And most of the autos tend to be of the lesser characters - and poor old Warwick Davis.  AGAIN!.  When are we going to get Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape?

Personally, I think that the Props for GOF are not up to expectations as a whole. They are nice, don't get me wrong but, they are a wee bit uninspired.
They are novel (burnt tent, for example) but dull.  They would have done well to include things like Dragon Skin, Golden Egg Shell, etc. Autographs could be hotter (sorry, Sirius) Dumbledore, Mr Weasley, Professor McGonagal, and the usual gang of holdouts. Costumes were nice in GOF, but where are the Dumbledore, Snape, Hagrid, Hermione's Gown Etc. All in all I think that  an inspired GOF update would be interesting  and fun.

I think the update will have a new Daily Prophet, a new Hermione pink costume (whether it be her dress or shirt), and some amazing props.  There were a lot they could have used, but didn't.

I'm STILL hoping for Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff ties.  And Mcgonagal, Flitwick and Snape costumes.  Bulgarian and Irish Quidditch uniforms would be sweet too.

Id love a Mcgonagal costume / auto card  ;D

I think the update will be much better then GOF. I'm not saying I dont have my share of GOF cards I want and Love but there is alot of things I saw in the movie that would be great to have

I agree Mike.  I think they saved some great things for the update.  From this set, I will be happy with a costume from each champion, a Beauxbatons and Durmstrang costume (maybe Neville's pjs just to go with the other ones I have of his), and the Quidditch Program, and a couple autos.  I am not asking for much, huh?

Can we petition Artbox for what we would like to see in the update set?  Will they take any notice?

Probably too late. But, then again the way sets seem to be delayed, maybe it's not too late.

I agree that the props for this set are rather uninspired. For the other sets, each prop stood out (well perhaps except for PoA where I think the main theme was candy ;D). For GoF, we've got, what, canvas and paper pretty much? This is subjective I know, and I am sure alot of people will disagree, but for me, this prop set is very disappointing when compared with the previous 3 releases.

I agree, although there are some nice shiny props this time, and the world cup program has loads of variations, making it my favorite of the bunch.

artbox could even produce a dual auto card of the 2 indian sisters who accompanied harry to the dance.

The Patels.  That would be a good idea!!

I think the next set has to have a Fleur auto, and Harry...just to get the last two champions.  Wuold Daniel dare sign another auto for us :o=

In my dream, Artbox has produced dual auto cards of Harry/Cho Chang, Ron/Fleur and Harmoine/Krum...... :o=

Now, THAT would definitely make the update set a totally sellout as soon as its announced!  ;D

There technically IS a Dumbledore costume card for this set. It is the NY Toyfair exclusive....Tom has some for sale and they are actually really nice looking.

So long as his handwriting has improved...

I'm wondering if there will be another Fleur champions costume in the update.  They had her whole costume on display at SDCC and what we got in this set looks like her dark blue undershirt.  What about the silver vest?
