What is black and metalic things that the blue crown mentions on FB?
New deck?


I'm hoping it's a new deck. Maybe a different style then the crown decks so far, but I doubt that. Should be interesting to see what they unveil.

That would be a nice looking deck! I hope that if that's the case it is "the finish to the series" like you mentioned. I would like to see D&D end their Smoke and Mirrors series in a similar fashion (v7 carbon fiber). It seems that some series just last too long. Eventually the color combinations get old and a lot of us would rather see a fresh, new design.

While some may not care for the Arrco faces and think they need to be fixed, we think they were never broken.  :)
 
I can assure you that Arrco faces were chosen for this deck purely for aesthetics, cost had no factor in determining the faces that were chosen for the Crown deck.  We design our decks the way we want them without regard to production cost.  We will always make decks that we think are beautiful, we are never seeking out ways to "cheap out" on making the decks.
 
Not everyone will love every design choice, that's all up to personal taste.  Some people love Arrco faces, some don't, and that's cool.  But we felt that the Arrco faces were a better fit for the overall vibe of the deck than the current standard USPC faces.
 
Only 2 more days until we start unveiling our holiday contests and prizes!  Stay tuned!


I couldn't agree more on the Arrco faces - hear, hear!  Bicycle faces are nice and all, but eventually after seeing so many decks with them, a change of pace is practically necessary, not just welcome.

As much as I prefer having custom court cards at all times, I do prefer the Arrco faces to the Bikes.  Honestly, I think I just like the (slight) variation.

It's always good to have new faces that are not bicycle standard faces :D . Definitely will be picking some of each colour up provided they don't sell it too expensive in Singapore:D

It's arrco faces, so it is not a new face. But yes variation than the normal bike is good.

I will probably be picking up 1 of each colour becuase I didnt buy any of the V1`s. But I personally don`t like accro faces i think they all look stoned.
People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

Hey guys.  You'll notice that not all of the prizes have been unveiled yet, just the first few.  Hopefully the first ones are exciting enough by themselves!  We'll be uncovering more details every day.  The big event starts one week from today!

I almost missed the holiday stuff - had to scroll down...  It's got me interested, that's for certain.

Yep. We may briefly go out of stock from time to time as a new batch is being printed, but for the most part they will be in stock for the long haul.

that's what he is saying they will do here, but while the new batch is being printed it is a possibility that they run out of the others.
have you heard the word???

What's up guys!


Thanks for all your support with these decks. The response has been like no other! As for tonights event, a lot of people were asking if the decks were limited or not. Here is what I can say:


By "not limited" we mean that we will plan on printing these in the future for everyone to have. That being said, we only printed a limited amount for the holiday season. After they are gone, we'll print more, but of course that means time and money so it might be a while until we get them back in stock. So the real answer is: yes they are printed in limited numbers - how fast will they go? Well we don't know! How fast will they come back in stock? No idea.


Hope that answers some questions some of you may be having - i know there has been a lot of talk - limited, not limited, and like i said, the answer really depends on how you look at it. My honest opinion - the amount we have for the holiday season will not last long.


Alex^
