Good Grief retro cards!!  I can't even afford POA cards I would like, now they are doing the Philosophers Stone..  Sheesh.  

I would feel a heck of a lot better about collecting this kind of stuff if I knew the money wasn't just making fat cats fatter at Warner Bros.

Phooey!  

Melbourne Australia was named after Lord Melbourne.  Perhaps the small villiage you mention also has some connection to his family.

Patrons and those who had favours to bestow where the one's who got things and places named after them.  No doubt in the hope of future favours.  

 

*whoooo*  a note of warning..  don't read other people's want lists...  so depressing.  My want list almost reads like the tally sheet for what was listed in the Update cards.  

Except!  I think I have all the filmcell cards now except for one and some great film bits.  When I work out how to scan em properly I will try and list them.  Great bits of memorabilia!

Okay We mean comp nine not 8
Nope I know i won number 8 it make up for crappy boxes lmao

Thanks for the info mcgonagall.  Do you think we should have a prize for the lousiest Update box opened?  We could as Artbox to donate a card praps?

*phoooot*

Well mcgonagall those boxes didn't seem worth a hoot!

I thought mine were bad but at least I got a couple of prop cards and of course the only auto card I got I had already paid top dollar for.  

But I think you need a huge group hug for that result!

*whooo hooo*  and Hugs!

I am really confused by this thread.

*hooooot*  Competition 6 is long gone.

*hooooot*  Competition 8 was won by mcgonagall who seems to have forgotten or I need reading glasses!

*hoooot*  there never was a Competition 7.

*hoooot*  And how do these competitions run anyhooooo?

Cant compete with dealers on eBay and certainly couldn't outbid them here.

 

gimli,  

Hello Roz said you might have some tins for sale?  If you do I would be interested in how much you are asking.

all the way to the USA.

Mak  *sir*!!  I aint minding the Pig as it is short for pigwidgeon - and we are a downright cute genus - but as an Aussie I protest strongly at being sent to the USA!!!  ...  'specially as summer is looming up hot and strong!!      

ps the Uni musta lied cause here I am .. flying in cyberspace  **whoo  hooo**

Just 50 posts!!  And my server is going down in a few hours for the weekend.  Okay I guess I chalk up another *freebie* I have no shot at.  There are so many on the web now.  **wooooooooooo**

I will just have to gain solace from the fact that it's warm and I dont need to own a winter wardrobe.  **hoots happily**

Well guys I think your HP list is brilliant.  Beautifully done.  Did you use Access?  I have a growing collection of pics on a database using excel.  But you have done a wonderful job!!  3 rousing HOOTS to ya!!!

Lurtz and Roz thanks for answering.  

Lurtz I don't think I have anything to trade with.  :-/

Roz I couldn't afford to buy that many, I only want the three of them.

!! but there a much greater chance of a dud box!

**hoots gently to herself**  I wish the concept or reality of a dud box didn't exist!!  

Howdy,  

Q1  Does anyone know when the update tins will be available?  
Q2  And what kind of price they will be asking?  
Q3  Q2 leads me directly to how do you get them in the first place without going through a couple of middlemen?

If this subject has been covered somewhere else then please point me to it.  :-)  or should that be 8>

What a CUTE owl I am!!  Now where is that lil dwarfie??

Thanks Roz!  

In fairness although Tolkien is a great writer he doesn't write very readable books.

Sorry I just couldn't let this sit there without disagreeing.  Tolkien is a master story teller, perhaps not a great writer -  great writers win the Booker Prizes and they are definately not very readable.  

Harry Potter is written for children and teens,  from that point of view they are extremely easy to read for adults.

Tolkien wrote an amazing tale, with depth, background, believability.  I never found it hard to read.  Hard to put down - YES!  Too Short  -  YES YES YES!    But not very readable -  not in my universe  :-)

Thanks Roz,

I sent it via my email, it can be slow.   Hope you guys have a great weekend with your new cards.  I have to fly!

Good haul gimli.  
Can I ask how many boxes in a case?  
I know you are tired.  But I bet you like it  

Hello Roz,  

That sounds like a welcome with a sting in the tail.

Now all I have to do is get my pic in here somehow.  I have it on my pc, I don't have a web addy for it??

Dear Ferdie,  Hi,  thanks for the advice.   I tried ozcards,  but nothing on their link mentions the Update boxes.  Perhaps I am too late.  The $100, was that for the retail or hobby boxes.  And ummmm do you have one you want to part with  *ducks*

I am sure I will enjoy this board, which I found searching for Artbox's site, cause my laptop is very very sick and I am lost without all my histories, etc.  Cloud and lining stuff I guess
