The Yak Shack Forum

Mark your calendars and get ready for a big YakShack event on October 16!  (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/kbmum/smilies/cheerlie4.gif)

What's the event?  Stay tuned...  >:D

We need the following...

Hints, clues, a smattering of information, a taster of things to come...ANYTHING!!!

You can't keep us dangling for a month  :o

Oh well, this is obviously the most appropriate place to state it:

ARRRRGGHH!     (:D#

It must be an important anniversary.  Now which one?

It's isn't an anniversary or Talk Like a Pirate Day. ;)  A smattering of info, you say?  Okay...

October 16-18 and it's about cards.

How enlightening, thanks Cindy ;)

OK I cheated and Googled this and came up with nothing  :rofl:

Will we get a clue a week  :o=

Usually schools get progress reports/report cards during oct 16-18. I doubt thats it, but I think its funny.  ;D

My best guess is a special autograph card for Dumbledore's old chum Gellert Grindewald, aka Jamie Campbell Bower, observed hanging out at Pier 94.

Or maybe quad cards signed by William Shatner, Nichelle Nichols, Yogi Berra, and Pete Rose?

(P.S.: I know October 16 isn't Talk Like a Pirate Day, that was yesterday. Nobody had done so yet on September 19 and it was already the 20th in the U.K., so I figured we didn't want to leave the Shack unrepresented by the "Captain" icon.)

I do my best to please. :D

Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince Update set will be shipped on October 16 and be officially released on October 18.  Just a wild guess.  The DVD isn't going to be released until December 8.  Isn't the update set usually released close to the DVD release.  The Nonsport Update Magizine still list the HBPU set as to be announced. ???

HBPU won't be released until after Thanksgiving (which is November 26 ,for non-US folks).  But, that's a good guess!

Just a wild guess...?
Kay told me it will be out in November. No date in Nov. specified.

Indeed, the marketing timing of releasing the set so that it hits stores when the DVD is released is much too powerful to overlook. That's been the rule since the very first movie-update set for FOTR.

So, if the DVD release date remains December 8, I predict an HBPU street date of December 3 or 4. I doubt the DVD date will slip because you have to give the Amazon.com supersaver-shipping patrons in USA 2 weeks to have it received, wrapped, and under the tree (or received in time for them to travel with it if they have time off Christmas week).

Hmmmmm....
Only thing I know that happens on that date is the new movie "Where the Wild Things Are".  ???

Artbox is going to kidnap Brendan Gleason.  Their going to hold a gun to his head for the period mentioned and force him to sign the OOPU cards for all us good little girls and boys. :rofl:

Now that is some serious customer dissatisfaction! :rofl:  I don't know what's going to happen with the Gleeson autos, but I do know that the info about October 16 will be revealed this weekend!  Of course, you're expecting a giveaway or something like, which this isn't.  But still, it's going to be fun. :)

Yay I'm up for some fun ;D ;D

I was thinking something along the lines of a Gleason announcement, but apparently this will be fun for everyone.

A Secret Santa sign up?

I've just come across a listing on  :ebay: for the Gleeson Auto Redemption Card, the ad read as follows:

Artbox
2007 Harry Potter and the ORDER of the PHOENIX
Authentic Redemption card
MINT condition Redemption card that CANNOT be redeemed for the autograph of Brendan Gleeson

He played the role of Alastor "MADEYE" Moody and I have not seen any that he actually autographed, and only a few redemption cards alone. NOT VALID for redemption now anyway, but without him signing, this example is going to be EXTREMELY RARE, especially if the majority were returned to Artbox and all you get back is a Mystery signer. That's all I know, so if you would like to bid, go and check it out for yourself. By placing a bid you will accept my contention and must follow through with the purchase.

Has anyone heard anything about these Redemptions being returned with a mystery signer? ???

Artbox is obviously going to have to send out SOMETHING to everyone. "Mystery" signer does not mean it will be a new signer or anything, just that no one knows what cards will be sent out as replacements.

SOMETHING would defintely better than the NOTHING they have given us so far  >:()
 
Not that I'm angry or anything  ;D

Hey guys -- we're getting a bit off-topic here.  I'm all up for discussion about the Gleeson auto, but let's try to keep it to the apppropriate thread. :)

any news about oct.16th? i am in the dark :'(

Aww, if I'd seen this before I'd have cancelled the Complete Your Collection event and seen if we could get all the parents to post their kids report cards ;)

Rats! I would have loved to see that! Some of us could have shared our old progress reports too.  ;)

When I was moving to my new place I was clearing out any old stuff I had at my parents (though I hadn't lived there for nigh on 10 years) - in a fit of efficiency I threw all mine out!!!

Which is TERRIBLE. I totally regret it - I worked so hard at school and treasured my reports...

*sigh*

Pretty sure my dad kept all mine in a folder at work...but I don't think he treasures them at all. After 5th grade school was a hassle for me.

My mom still has all mine in a box with all the cards/gifts I made her growing up.  :D

I know I know we are having another chocolate exchange or secret sants call up
