(I am not sure which paper) but there's a paper doing a movie pin collection from Harry potter - I read about it in "Hogwarts: a History"  ooh sorry no on the Non Sport update forum

*Rolls eyes* That was soooo last week

That promotion finished last week I think... I didn't end up collecting it. Thought I'd just buy it off ebay. This same paper did the same thing with LOTR last year, that I did collect. LOTR had 18 pins.. the HP set only 11. The LOTR sets were all over ebay... HP is now as well. I'll pick up a set sometime soon. Heres what the LOTR set looks like

honesltly - you could have posted it - watch out for McGonagal and other ozzie members coming to nick your collection because you didn't tell them

 

[ferdinand_the_yak]

LOL... I assumed that all our Aussie members would have already known and collected them! Didn't think you'd be interested in our Oz only exclusive... our one and only Wish we had more of those along the lines of Artbox etc

Heres a link to what they look like

It appears that there are 2 different sets - readers in another state (QLD) got a 20 pin set, all other states (I think) got an 11 pin set

aha - maybe you were afraid you'd have to buy 50 copies of the newspaper I have to say the LOTR set looks better than HP  

(*sharp intake of breath whilst waiting for FTY's reaction*)

[ferdinand_the_yak]

Yes, yes, yes - I TOTALLY agree the LOTR set was better, maybe that was one reason I did not collect HP immediately, whereas with LOTR I had to have them straight away in my mitts... precioussss
Bit hard to display properly though - HP display is made for it. Not sure if I will get the 20 pin display or the 11 pin one.

I saw the auctions on ebay and contacted The Daily Telegraph (Aus).It was only open to Aus. readers.
So I got it via ebay (20 pin collection).The seller is posting today,will let you all know when they arrive.

As they where only available in the eastern states.

Perth misses out on so much
