Chamber of Secrets Set

[Guest]

[kbmum]

I think people in the UK received MM about a week after we did in the US.  Let's see...the first case breakdowns by US buyers were October 25 and the first from a UK buyer was October 31.  Artbox usually does staggered shipping, but couldn't for MM, otherwise the dates might have been a bit closer together.

[Morningangel-Iola]

That wasn't too bad really then.

[Sharon]

I wonder where the UK MM that was posted about came from though?  I know I only bought from the US this time.

[allender]

Tom says that he hears the expected "street date" is approximately December 29, with staggered shipping to distributors starting about December 20. One would can that this is a big enough window so that UK cases get into the first breakdowns. ...

[kbmum]

If shipping is going to start five days before Christmas, I wouldn't be surprised if there were some delivery delays.  I was hoping to have my boxes under the tree Christmas morning, since they're my Christmas presents.  Oh well.

So, who's going to be on eBay this New Year's Eve, looking for COS cards?

Proud member of the sad bunch here as well...but, hey, if we can all get a card we want on New Year's Eve, what a Happy New Year it will be...forget getting that kiss at midnight--I'll kiss my computer screen that reads "ITEM WON."

[Morningangel-Iola]

Ah but whos midnight Oh maybe we could celibrate it serval times

[bush360]

Sounds good to me a multi national New Years eve celebration, I will probably be away from my screen at midnight if you know what I mean  (hic:.:.:.....) but I should be back just in time to say Happy new Year to the American Yaks. I would love mine in time for new year.

[Roz]

Ah but who's midnight ... Oh maybe we could celibrate it several times ?

Sounds good to me. I can't make our midnight, but I can make pretty much everyone else's the few Aussie ones, and probably a few Yankee ones too

Sounds great but wish it was a time of year when I actually had some money Wouldn't it have been better to fill in the gap before Ootp? Or are they just seeing how much money they can get out of us in 2006

I thought the same as you too Dawn! 

Is it me, or are there more cards to get in this set than in previous sets, or am I'm just imagining it!?
