: "hot boxes" and number of cases : Tea_and_Fruit October 16, 2004, 11:11:23 PM Just wonder what contains a "hot box" ? All cards incl. the Multicaseincentives????
How many were inserted in the first set? How many will be inserted in the update? And finaly how many cases will be produced of POA Update? : Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : samwise16 October 16, 2004, 11:24:07 PM They don't contain the case/multi-case incentive cards but they contain nearly all props/costume/autos. Some of the hot boxes found contained maybe 2 of the same card and a different card not inserted, if that makes sense. So with some hot boxes people got a complete set but others got all the cards but one, and a duplicate of another card. I'm rubbish at explaining it :P
: Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : Roz October 16, 2004, 11:40:40 PM Yes you are :P
They contained one of everything in the set EXCEPT case incentives/promos a 100 Ron robe and a 100 Harry Robe (NB they did contain the lenticulars) (NB2 as Ben rightly says they did contain some spares too!) : Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : Tea_and_Fruit October 16, 2004, 11:51:12 PM Thanks.
But how many were inserted in the 500 Cases (POA Set)? And how many cases/hot boxes this time? infos infos infos ;D : Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : samwise16 October 16, 2004, 11:53:05 PM was it 25 roz last time? I'm pretty sure it was. Roz might be able to shed some light on how many hotbox's this time
: Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : ferdinand_the_yak October 17, 2004, 02:20:40 PM From what I heard, it was 20 last time. Makes sense if there are more boxes this time, there should be more hotboxes. Could someone mention this to Artbox please? ;) ;D
: Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : Roz October 17, 2004, 02:59:45 PM Yeah I heard 20 too :-\ (last time)
And I have no info on hotboxes this time only that there have been assurances there will be some! ;D : Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : samwise16 October 17, 2004, 04:42:07 PM ooooo 20 then silly me :-[
I hope they do 40/50 this time, so i have a better chance of getting one :D : Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : Roz October 17, 2004, 05:01:52 PM There were rumours of 25 (don't worry Ben) so I was putting the other rumour forward too ;)
: Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : samwise16 October 17, 2004, 05:15:31 PM The hotboxes werent official archive boxes, do you think they did the hotboxes because they had way to many spares.
: Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : Roz October 17, 2004, 05:30:59 PM Hmm I don't know but it helped to create an amazing buzz about the set. At the time hitting a hotbox was like finding £3,000 in a £30 box... it's a bit less now but I can imagine in time and after a good few more sets it will be higher again.
When you say they weren't "official archive boxes" I guess you mean that they weren't labeled as such and this is true! If I knew I had a hotbox would I open it or leave it? If I was rich enough and had a full set I'd love to keep it sealed, after all inside all the cards should remain minter than if you take them out. I am not sure you could sell a hotbox on ebay because you'd get unscrupulous people who said they opened it and it wasn't a hotbox and they'd like their money back please (and simultaneously and coincindentally they have a complete run of the cards up on fleabay)... but it would be a cool thing to have if you were rich enough... mind you what's the point in sealed boxes anyhow? ;D : Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : samwise16 October 17, 2004, 06:06:07 PM here here! .. to the "whats the point in having sealed boxes" coming from someone who has 2 IN HER WARDROBE! ;)
: Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : Roz October 17, 2004, 06:07:32 PM The back of Mark's chest of draws actually - if they were here they'd be opened!
: Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : samwise16 October 17, 2004, 06:10:13 PM It is a good thing they are with Mark or we would here you got a dud and pulled a george costume out the other :'(
Me "You got to fight it" Roz "I know what i must do" we'll see :P : Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : gimli October 18, 2004, 02:54:49 AM how do you do it roz you know how many boxes i buy and i can't keep sealed boxes they seem to get misteriously opened
: Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : Roz October 18, 2004, 03:31:45 AM I can do it Chris because I have such hideously bad luck in what I do open!
If you knew that the best you could pull was one dud and one george could you keep them sealed? Remember now in the 10 boxes of cards I have ever opened I have now had 5 duds! That's not a nice record! And if it doesn't improve for potter I think I'll give up collecting - it's too depressing : Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : kbmum October 18, 2004, 04:52:34 AM Since you've had such bad luck with your first 10 boxes, it should mean that you'll have better luck with the last two! :) At the very least, you should have good luck with the update.
: Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : samwise16 October 18, 2004, 12:22:50 PM Don't tell Roz that, we'll see her posting she cracked and opened the last two boxes ::)
I know youar going to do well with your update set, it's a near enough guarentee you will make a bit of dosh : Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : Roz October 18, 2004, 02:09:37 PM Not if I keep most of the cards as I plan to ;) but if I can recoup a bit on my spares I'll be a happy bunny!
Back to the topic here for a moment we still have no idea of print run and I am getting worrieder and worrieder all the time! : Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : samwise16 October 18, 2004, 09:12:00 PM Don't let Daren sleep roz, ivite yourself round to his for tea ;D get us that info :p
please ;) : Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : chico October 19, 2004, 06:39:26 AM I think that the "hot" boxes simply contained the cards that should have been in the duds. arrgghhh!!!
: Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : Roz October 19, 2004, 02:18:35 PM ROFL - I think you are right - right... so everyone who goe a hotbox owes me one card to make up for my 3 duds :P
No seriously I think they were made up for (mostly) within cases - often if one box was a dud another would have 3 inserts ... well... I dunno : Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : beckham1 October 20, 2004, 02:06:03 AM You can have one of my Weasley Quidittch robe cards Roz ;D
: Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : Roz October 20, 2004, 02:09:25 AM That would be most kind. Although I am all set for my Weasley card thanks :)
: Re:"hot boxes" and number of cases : rns91294 October 20, 2004, 03:53:02 AM Beckham1, where were you when I needed you? I have been trying so hard to get a Weasley card. I finally did, but it was damaged. To make a long story short, Artbox is kindly replacing it for me. I will soon finally have this card.
You don't happen to have an extra hermione pink sweater though huh? ;) lol. But in all seriousness, I did get a box with 3 inserts in it last run. I felt very lucky with that and only hope I can get lucky again. |
