I don't know about you guys, but the day I spend $80 bucks for box that has no guaranty, no idea of inserts or insert ration, or no news at all for that matter, is the day I've complete lost it  . Guess I've completely lost it, then.  Oh geez.... I won't even go there....

Well I am hoping that Artbox have done something truly amazing for this set that isn't being done justice by the press release. I do think they have listened to criticism in the past and made some changes - more even insertion rates, spreading out releases. They will do themselves a lot of damage in the long run if this set doesn't live up to the extra cost.

I think the problem with Artbox is that they try to release what they would want if they were collecting the set. They are fans of trading cards rather than running a business. Dispite the delays in releasing each set, there has been very few complaints in the content (apart from POAU) and they seem to really mean well. The breakdown of this set will, I think, set a new bench mark as to what can be expected for the future.

Funny, but I thought the content of POAU was excellent.  The collation and dud boxes were the problems. I complained a lot about MM yesterday, but having thought about it for the past 24 hours, there just isn't enough info yet for me to judge this set. Yes, three less inserts per case is a problem. Yes, only one resin box per case is a problem (although I've heard they are heavy and it would have cost a small fortune to ship a whole case of them). We know nothing about the coin cards, haven't even seen a picture of one, and while they are a fabricated item (versus one that was used in a movie), they might be quite collectible. The double costume, double prop, and prop/costume cards might turn out to be stunning. It's really hard being patient to see what else is in the set. From the talk about ship dates and release dates, I believe that many dealers will receive their cases on Oct. 25, and then ship to us after that. It's going to be a long couple of weeks.

I agree about POAU, most of my favorite cards are from the POAU set. As far as props were concerned, I found almost nothing interesting in both GOF releases personally (except for the super rare wands),

I think It's going to be very interesting watching the auctions for this set. I'm certain that the competition will be amazingly fierce. I'll probably pick up a couple of my favorites; the magical plants book sounds like a nice one. If I remember correctly it was on display at comic con this year!

As of now, the Magical Plants Book Prop is the most intriguing to me. I think the Christmas ornament props from SS might be pretty...I would love one of those.  I'm just really not optimistic that I'll have even a shot on these cards, especially if the production numbers are as low as we're anticipating.

I'm just hoping we won't see too much of what happened with the MM Comic con trophy cards. I know they were rare, but that's just a little bit too hardcore for me

Ooooo I want one of those prop cards for the Magical Water Plants book!  Still love the ornament props as well.  I wonder how much one of those Magical Water Plant prop cards will cost...
