If the rumours are true that Cards Inc should have their shipment of cases and incentive cards tomorrow I should be within 50 miles of (probably) the world's largest stockpile of it! Hmm let's see, if I make 4 miles an hour on foot I can get there in plenty of time... but then how do I carry them back??

Not to mention the fact that I am not actually buying any from CI direct but through their resellers... Hmm it's all to agonising! In truth I bet I don't see any 'til the middle of next week!

Carry them back?? I think the answer is all too obvious Roz...

Just open the cases there! Good luck, I'll see you on the evening news!!

Excellent idea!  Then all you'd have to carry back is a base set and lots of inserts.  It should all fit quite nicely in your purse.


: Re:Tomorrow I will be within 50 miles of a huge stockpile of PoA update!
: Roz November 03, 2004, 08:09:26 PM
;D But but but but - hmm I suppose I could always sell the base sets to the Collector Zone to save carrying them :P

: kbmum November 03, 2004, 08:16:45 PM
You don't want one base set for you?  :)


: Re:Tomorrow I will be within 50 miles of a huge stockpile of PoA update!
: Roz November 03, 2004, 08:19:45 PM
Obviously I do :D at least - and a spare :P but not 110 spares :P

According to the RAC Route Planner, I live 9.4 miles (15.1km) and 18 minutes away from CI.

Does that mean I get first dibs on anything Harry Potter ?

Jas, Tom hasn't had his yet so I am not 100% sure you'll have it tonight - although there is no excuse for not spending the evening with the scanner if you do ;D

: rns91294 November 03, 2004, 10:51:04 PM
So these have definitely shipped out now.  Good.   Do you expect the sent them to the UK first?  I am just trying to figure out when to expect my comic store to get mine in.  I just hope they get them, since I only ordered 3 boxes....


: Re:Tomorrow I will be within 50 miles of a huge stockpile of PoA update!
: Goofyjas November 03, 2004, 11:09:54 PM
I think they shipped in waves no?
I would think artbox is in the uk  or us? I duno :P but it is always easier to ship in the US.

I would expect to see them today from what I have seen :P


: Re:Tomorrow I will be within 50 miles of a huge stockpile of PoA update!
: rns91294 November 03, 2004, 11:19:34 PM
Artbox is in California.

: Roz November 03, 2004, 11:37:20 PM
Yeah guys the only big Card people in Britain are cards inc..well there's topps merlin but let's be serious here :P


: Re:Tomorrow I will be within 50 miles of a huge stockpile of PoA update!
: ztaylork November 03, 2004, 11:53:43 PM
Who will be the first on this board to get a case (or a box) and provide some scans?  I will be checking back about every twenty minutes in great anticipation!!!

What about a "First Box Live opening"?

The first one who get his box/boxes open the box and post direct after pulling a insert card the info.

Show off!

Who will be the first on this board to get a case (or a box) and provide some scans?

And the next questions is:  How long will it be before the first cards start showing up on eBay?

I can't wait to see the cards.  The suspense is killing me!

Evening All,

I spoke to Cards Inc today and ,as Roz has already said , they will indeed be getting there shipment in tomorrow. They also told me I should be getting mine on FRIDAY!!!!!

I might have to phone in sick ;D


: Re:Tomorrow I will be within 50 miles of a huge stockpile of PoA update!
: rns91294 November 04, 2004, 01:57:43 AM
Okay, so it is confirmed that the UK should have them tomorrow.  Does anyone have any confirmation as to when the US can expect to see them?


: Re:Tomorrow I will be within 50 miles of a huge stockpile of PoA update!
: olly November 04, 2004, 01:58:42 AM
December sometime  ;D


: Re:Tomorrow I will be within 50 miles of a huge stockpile of PoA update!
: Tea_and_Fruit November 04, 2004, 02:05:10 AM
Actually I thought packages within the country would be faster transported than abroad.  ::)

Probably only in Germany and England   ;D


: Re:Tomorrow I will be within 50 miles of a huge stockpile of PoA update!
: olly November 04, 2004, 02:06:49 AM
I think because the UK is taking half the print run it is being shipped here first for similtaneous release. Although it looks like we are early this time.


: Re:Tomorrow I will be within 50 miles of a huge stockpile of PoA update!
: gimli November 04, 2004, 02:09:53 AM
well i have to say i won't be taking a day off work on friday as my cards are delivered to me there so I will not be able to concentrate and I have Lessons to teach all morning but I am free all after noon  ;D unless I have to cover a lesson  :'( if you don't already know I am a full time Teacher and a part time card dealer  :D


: Re:Tomorrow I will be within 50 miles of a huge stockpile of PoA update!
: rns91294 November 04, 2004, 02:25:12 AM
I just want them NOW!!!!!!!


: Re:Tomorrow I will be within 50 miles of a huge stockpile of PoA update!
: olly November 04, 2004, 02:36:53 AM
If it makes you feel better I will have mine tomorrow....no....oh well...I tried! ???


: Re:Tomorrow I will be within 50 miles of a huge stockpile of PoA update!
: Goofyjas November 04, 2004, 02:38:09 AM
the US shipments are in the post.
I dont know if they sent off the UK faster so that they are out everywhere at the same time or what.
I guess we will find out when we start hearing people tearing open boxes


: Re:Tomorrow I will be within 50 miles of a huge stockpile of PoA update!
: rns91294 November 04, 2004, 02:54:48 AM
Olly, your comment will only make me feel better if you scan and post pictures as soon as possible!!!!!! ;D
