I'm sure I got a base set but as I don't collect them other than Star Trek I didn't bother to collate the base cards

Two Harry Potter boxes for me (yes, hobby) and two duds means that Artbox won't get a penny of my money again.

Totally unlucky there!!! I mean, what's the odds of getting dud boxes happening to the same person twice!!!

Hope you have better luck with other boxes you opened, aside from Artbox ones!

I'm tentatively willing to put them on the watch list but give them another chance on the issue of too many dud boxes and uneven seeding. The reason: This was such a huge increase in print run over any previous Artbox release, that they probably had one or more printing/packaging shops that they hadn't "trained" yet. I don't know for sure if they used anybody who hadn't done this type of job before. But if so, they can potentially learn from real or perceived mistakes.

I guess I didn't get any total duds in my case, but a box with just a Sleeping Bag or Lupin Coat almost feels like it. ...

My one box:

1 base set
box topper 2
foils 2, 4, 5, 7, 8
Lupin Jacket - like the world needs another of these
flying Buckbeak film card (Sirius in cells)

Was hoping to get a Hermione Scarf or Grim fur (or, you know, a triple auto or something ) and so was very excited when I found an extra-thick pack, but alas! it was just 10 base cards. Can't decide whether or not to take a chance on another box of these.

1 box
2 sets!
Bt2
5 foils
Grim's fur creature card 194/880

First box breakdown posted on Card Talk!

1 box
BT1
1 costume Lupin 0836/2900
5 foils R1, R2, R4, R5 and R9
No complete sets! one card missing.

Not very impressive but better than some!

Maybe there are some lucky boxes out there!

Box Topper BT4
4 Foils
Prop card - Grim Fur (174/880)
Cell card - Harry talking to someone (709/900). The cells both have Harry but I don't know where.
Auto card - Chris Rankin as Percy Weasley.

I opened 5 boxes total. I haven't collated the basic sets yet, but:
I didn't get any BT1, R9, or R5

I did get:
Ron Costume (731)
Harry Red Costume (2173)
Harry Black Costume (2173)
Hermoine Costume (730)
Lupin Costume (2900)
Buckbeak flight Film card, with Snape on film (900)
Harry and Owl Film card with Sirius in cell on film (900)
Filch autograph
Weasley Double Autograph

Not too bad overall...

By the way, anyone know if there 900 total Film cells, or 900 of each picture?

900 of each picture... otherwise the maths doesn't work out for cases

Have got spares, if you wanna drop me a line for a trade

The only thing I've an extra of is a Sleeping bag prop card. I did get lots of foils for one box. I don't think that Artbox mixes the packs very well. I did get 4 packs in a row of the exact same cards. Now that's crazy.

1. Thanks for the info, Roz!

2. Sarah, I think I've already got something hammered out for the missing cards, but I'll let you know if it doesn't work out. Thanks!

I just had a very good box I thought.

BT4, R1, R3, R5, R6, R9
Costume card of Neville - #668 of 1170
Filmcard of Harry on the Bus - #432 of 900
Warwick Davis Auto

I think I did well. Considering my last box all I got besides foils was a sleepeing bad prop card.

Jewel

Always nice to see reports of warm boxes. Nice box Hippie.

Thanks Dan. It makes up for only 1 prop card in two other boxes...LOL

Jewel

Ok,

Here`s my list of autos, costume, film cells and props from one case,

Lupin 313/834

461/900 Harry in the passageway in the dark
540/900 Miss Trelawney

Almost makes me wish I`d bought another case of LOTR trilogy!

I did better than most, but not as good as others.

1 box
Box topper BT2
Neville Longbottom costume card 187/1170
Puzzle cards R1, R4, R6, R8, R2

Got this box as part of an auction (along with non-update box) and the following extra cards Harry costume card 477/500 and Hermione costume card 225/830.

Bought myself a box for Christmas...

Haven't collated them yet, so I don't know about a complete set of base cards at the moment.

Also contained:

BT3

R1, 3, 6, 8 and 9

Werewolf Filmcard # 306/900 (frames: close up of a crystal ball and a close up of Harry)

Daily Prophet Prop Card # 84/480 (containing large lettering from one of the headlines)

Lee Ingleby (as Stan Shunpike) autograph

Pretty good box since it had everything but a costume card.

2 packs from Suncoast today.
1 foil card #7
Harry potter robe card 2554 of 2575

My wife and son really enjoyed getting a costume card of Harry.

My kids gave me two boxes for Christmas and I did as well with them as my first three boxes.

Box 1
Daily Prophet prop (nice swatch with lettering from a story headline)

Box 2
Vincent Crabbe auto
Knight Bus filmcard (cells show the three kids and Lupin in the Hogwarts Express compartment, right after the dementor appeared)
Daily Prophet prop (with two scratches)

I'll be returning the scratched card to Artbox for a replacement. It's a bit strange that I have five boxes from two different dealers and pulled three prop cards -- all of them Daily Prophets.

My sister and I went halves in a case. It arrived today and I've opened and sorted my 5 boxes. My sister's cards are in blue.

Case Card: Buckbeak's Flight

All up:

Box Toppers
2 Sets + 2 extras

Foils

My sister got two autos, probably because I got a double. She also got more film cardz than I, and prop cards. We're pooling them all together, anyway.

Well, we're pretty happy with our first case
