I didn't realise that we hadn't posted a thread here (there is one on UC) for LUXX Palme, or at least I couldn't find it doing a search - please merge this if there is one and i've missed it.

Inspired by the popular Paisley pattern which has roots in many parts of the world, Rick has created something we think is a worthy sequel to the original design by Randy.

Below are some proofs from our next LUXX® deck. We're developing it into an in-house brand and series of luxury decks. We are very happy so far - the work done by both Rick and Legends is superb, and the proofs are gorgeous. Can't wait for them to be printed!

A couple more. Apologies for the poor photography...

Very paisley. The fan could look amazing.

We think so too!

The more I see of this, the more I like it!

I like the total package -- as in how the paisley design is worked into everything, from the tuck, to the back design, to the courts, and even the joker. Very nice.

The fact that it's a relatively "busy" borderless back design will make them pretty darn good for gambling sleights, and also creating gaffs. Yep, I'm definitely looking forward to this one

What sort of size is the print run going to be?

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #5 on:** August 14, 2015, 01:54:33 PM »

Thanks JJ.

Print run is 2000 each colour.

We are 99% set for pre-orders beginning on Friday, October 2nd. Time TBC.

We won't be releasing gilded versions at the same time, as that takes some organisation on our part and would be better to do it later on. We expect to release gilded decks later in the year, and we're looking into gilding a small number of the original v1 decks at the same time.

Lower pre-order pricing will apply, and we're working a local UK luxury packaging specialist to do a brick box, more news on that soon!

Pre-orders are penciled in to start October 2nd folks. There's a product page if you want to add your email for when they go live.

will there be a brick deal? The decks are nice, but they are still on the pricey side. thanks

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #9 on:** September 18, 2015, 12:15:23 PM »

Possibly, we haven\t priced that yet as we are finishing a brick box with a UK manufacturer.

That being said, standard shipping is free so you are saving significantly if you choose that option.

Mr.parangot · « **Reply #10 on:** September 18, 2015, 12:23:41 PM »

oh that sounds great. I the standard shipping free worldwide? I'm located in Germany, so not that far away from the UK?

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #11 on:** September 18, 2015, 02:18:17 PM »

Yes, but standard is limited to a certain value of orders - up to £150 for Europe. After that it's tracked only.

http://jpplayingcards.co.uk/delivery-info Will tell you all you need to know, but yes it's worldwide (with a handful of exceptions based on issues with unreliable postal services, Germany isn't one)

Mr.parangot · « **Reply #12 on:** September 19, 2015, 09:58:39 AM »

Thank you! I can't wait for the brick box

Cardfool · « **Reply #13 on:** September 19, 2015, 10:46:27 AM »

Yes, neither can I...one of those brick boxes definitely has my name written all over it!

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #14 on:** September 25, 2015, 12:07:08 PM »

Hi guys

4PM GMT Friday 2nd is (99% confirmed) the start date and time for pre-orders.

PrincessTrouble · « **Reply #15 on:** September 25, 2015, 02:13:19 PM »

I'll be there! Thanks, Paul.

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #16 on:** September 28, 2015, 11:55:40 AM »

Hi folks

Proofs are here and we're very happy - they look and feel great.

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #17 on:** October 01, 2015, 10:42:10 AM »

4PM GMT tomorrow is now confirmed folks.

The Split Brick has now been listed too, we've worked with a local UK company to produce an elegant brick box. Nothing complex, but it does have a nice big matte gold foil LUXX logo! The photos are of a sample which does not show the standard of the final box, unfortunately we didn't get stock of them in time for better photos. The brick box will not be available for sale individually.
