Greg, sending you an email!

Here's the Harry Potter card. I don't think I've seen him in any of the other sets.

I love this Harry Potter card and set. Correct in the previous set, Harry, Hermione and Ron were not included. Cool to see all three in this current release!

I agree...it's nice to have the big 3 included this time. I'd also like to see others like Hagrid, McGonagal, Malfoy, Dobby, a bunch really

I took a trip today to get some cards. World Market did not have any, but I picked these s25's up at Five Below:

2 Herpo
2 Grifindor
Lufkin
Dumblrdore

How much do they cost for a piece of chocolate and a card.

It varies from $2.79 to $5.01 depending on the store. World Market can be as low as $2.79 and Barnes Noble as high as $5. I've also seen them at Five Below, Hallmark, Woodman's and It's Sugar.

I was at a Safeway yesterday and they had a display with various Harry Potter items including the Frogs and the packs were only $2.99 each.

I got some more of these cards. I now need Granger & Dodderidge.

At $2.79 to $5.01 It must be quite a large size frog or is the card the prize but you cant eat the card. We do not get these cards in New Zealand sometimes the odd one comes up on Trade Me but very cheap max $1 if they were available here I would very likely go for them.
Reminds me of a Star Wars set we had here years ago with a card and a measly piece of bad tasting chocolate cant remember the price but there were 2 sets of approx 70 cards each .
Cost a fortune to be able to get a set of them as it was a blind buy .Was better to let someone else eat the chocolate and purchase the set on the secondary market for what seemed to be peanuts.Also as the cards were on very thin stock it was hard to get good cards most had some minor damage.

The chocolate, which is like a Nestle Crunch bar but a little thicker, is rather small compared to the card.

The card stock is standard and sealed in cellophane. They are also holographic.

I guess it depends on the IT'S SUGAR. I'VE SEEN THEM AS HIGH AS $5.95 + TAX. THE HARRY POTTER STORE IN NYC ALSO HAS THEIR OWN VERSIONS BUT THEY ARE A LARGE FROG AND THE CARDS ARE OVERSIZE AND THE CHOCOLATE IS EXPENSIVE. I still need a lot of these cards, but I have dupes from most sets.

I went to the Safeway near me that had them but they've sold out. There was still half a box on my previous visit. It's part of their Easter display so I'm not sure they'll reload on those.

Yeah, they're higher priced at It's Sugar as those tend to be in the fancier malls. I'll try another Safeway in the area.
