This seller has both tins for $8.95 each.  Just be forewarned that shipping is high outside of the US.

The Knight Bus tin has packs of FilmCardz and the Dementor tin has retail packs.

For that price BIN, I'm tempted to get them. Alas, I know other people on the forum who have wanted them much, much longer so I guess I'll have to wait! Besides, I think I'm gonna try calling Diamond Collectibles to check out there prices, first.

Thanks kbmum ... they are finally surfacing, perhaps!

If you want them, you shouldn't wait.  He had more listed last night, and as soon as they sold, he listed the ones in this thread.  Who knows if he has more?

Well, I did it. I BINed the Knight Bus tin. The other tin was the quidditch one, which I think is the second tin not the rarer demontor tin. In the end, I decided not to get the other one quite yet.

This is the one I got.  The description says "Dementor" and it's supposed to come with 2 Filmcards Foil packs containing 3 cards each and 1 Exclusive Collector Card.

Since I used BIN to get the Knight Bus tin, I decided to ask him the question about listing any of the Dementor Tin including card T5. In his reply, he stated that he would have the Dementor Tin relisted on the same day. Because of this reply, I used BIN for an auction similar to Anna's (title and description refering to Dementors Tin, but the picture of the Quidditch Tin). Anyways, investigative me noticed that he changed the picture in listings AFTER we used BIN and posing the question to him (also attaching a scan of the T5 card from the priceguide ... I hope you didn't mind Roz or anyone else for that matter).

Notice same title and description (including contents of the tin, filmcards foil packs), but the picture has changed to the rarer Dementor Tin. In the end, you were correct kbmum. I think he was selling both hobby tins 1 (Knight Bus) and 5 (Dementors) and NOT tin 2 (Quidditch).

I considered that shipping price when I made my purchases.  If you add the price of the tin plus the shipping, that's the price a lot of other sellers are selling the 3 other tins (T2, T3 & T4) individually for.  I was just happy to finally find these tins (thanks kbmum Smiley ).  I've been looking for them for months.

And LikORish, I did see the auction for the other 3 tins, but I had already got those 3 awhile ago and I had paid $45 for the set of 3. Tongue

I, honestly, thought I would never have these tins. I don't even have the middle three tins, yet. Since they are not as rare, I thought it much easier to wait and get them when I had more money. Since I was lucky enough to get the first POA tins given to me, I decided I had to get the Update Tins, as well!

Even though you paid $45 for the middle three tins, they are $19.99 BIN with $9.99 S&H (or something like that). That price difference isn't all that different. I mean it could have been a lot worse. I'm always thinking about the POAU BIN prices from MPC (I think). They are pretty much all the highest price on the priceguide for individual cards ... Those people have to feel a little sheepish looking at today's prices!

My tins arrived today and I did receive the Dementor tin and not the Quidditch one.  One tin even had 2 silver foil FilmCardz in the packs.  They shipped super fast - I just BINed them 2 days ago. Shocked

Thanks for the update, Anna! Even though the Dementor tin is still listed, I'm glad I changed my mind and BINed. He hasn't put the Knight Bus Tin up in a couple of days. I wonder how many of each hobby tin was made.

I just checked the labels and the bottoms of the tins, and there's no indication of how many were made.  The distributor, Diamond Collectibles, might know the answer to your question though.
