The Yak Shack Forum

Okay!  I am back with loads of information!!!!    I just don't know where to start.

Breygent was there with another fabulous display.  The new Wizard of Oz set is due to release within the next 6 weeks or so.  The sketches look great for this set once again. I love the colors of all the cards from the first set, and this one should be just as nice :).

He had promos of the Marilyn Monroe set too.  Wow.  They are sparkly with glitter :D.  I took a picture of my promos and will post that below. If you like her, you will really like these cards.  They remind me of those Greeting cards you can get with the glitter on them, but they have a nice gloss over the glitter so it doesn't get all over you and the card remains smooth.  He is also doing a Movie Stars collecters set this year with, I believe, classic film stars that also have glitter on them.  It is so nice to see something different like this with these sets. I don't know about you, but I sometimes get bored of all the plain looking cards, so to see the glitter effect, it really gives us something new.  Both these sets are due out this year.  Here is a picture of all Tom's stuff that I picked up:

And in an attempt to get a better idea of the glitter effect (glitter does not pohotograph well), I took this shot:

Now, on to Artbox.  There was no picture taking.  The WB actually asked that no pictures be taken. Artbox actually had full props and a costume prior to being cut for the Order of the Pheonix set coming out soon. They were:

-Dumbledore's Army sign up list.
-A harry uniform (a dark grey)
-Harry's Expulsion letter (when he is told he needs to appear in court for doing the patronus charm)
-A Daily Prophet.  Mike says he has a couple from this movie.  The P in Prophet at the top of the paper is now a shiny gold color. 

Now, to the 3D set

The promos were absolutely stunning :)  Nine total, but some are part of binder incentives and whatnot. There were no giveaways, so I didn't get any, but I can tell you that this set is going to be spectacular in looks!!!  It will have a print run of 400 cases and will come out mid-May.

I saw on print-outs in their book two costumes.  One was Ron's and one was Lupin's. They will also be in 3D, as well as the props. The pictures of the two props they had were ones we have seen before.  There was an Unfogging the Future book and a Maurader's Map.  I always liked both of those, so I wouldn't mind another.

And now, for the autos on display.  They are not in 3D, but different from what we have seen in the past. Instead of the card being long ways from side-to-side, it is held long ways from top to bottom.  There were nine of them there (unsigned).  I actually liked their look.  They are:

1) Station Guard (from when Harry asks at the train station where Platform 9 3/4 is)
2) Flitwick (again)
3) Fudge
4) Fred
5) George
6) Voldemort (from SS)
7) Harry

and the dual autos:

8) Crabbe and Goyle
9) Dudley and Vernon

And now, I take you back to OotP.  This will be a print run of 600.  He had a photo of four Death Eater masks to be included in this set. I believe some will be in the set, and some for case incentives.  There was also a picture for this set with two autos that said "pending authorization"...or something like that on them.  They were of Ron and Harry.  So we shall see.

We asked him if there will ever be an invisibilty cloak in a set. He told us he has asked WB for it, but they will not give that prop up

Well, that's it for now.  If I remember anything else....I will let you know
