At one time in recent history, people would have laughed at such large phones

That was me! I made fun of phablet users relentlessly! Now I have an iPhone 6 Plus and am hiding from all the people I used to make fun of...=P

There was a time when smaller was better.....now bigger is better....guess everything do work in cycles.

Anyway, back to this deck. It seems they always create tons of accessories and extra limited edition tucks. While i don't really go for the accessories, some of it does seem rather cool to be coupled with a deck. Could this be a whole new trend coming up? Not only accessories, but maybe a complete box set with figures and themes and what not.

Yeah, hopefully nobody is waiting for a Kickstarter before picking these up. This close to the end of the year, we're only planning on doing the pre-order so not picking them up now means full price later.

We're really happy with the way these came out and we think anyone that is a Breaking Bad fan will agree that we nailed all of the characters.

Feels like getting smacked right in the face.

Just 10 days later, a KS is launched with lower pricing per deck. 8 Decks with $23 shipping is still $10.87 per deck. Still lower than the pre-order without shipping at $11.99.

Looks like it was a great success, sorry I missed out.

Missed it too. Looks like the last set sold at $8.95 if i didn't remember wrongly.

Not a bad deal for 6 decks.

Just so you guys know, this deck is now available in Club 808

I'm happy that you found it purplelce... I found it, but only after it was sold out

Thanks. Probably the first time i ever won something. Well...not exactly win, but still...

As far as the pricing goes maybe there is some weird fee for larger items above a certain weight... maybe it is the extra cost for the print on the brick box...maybe it is something else...you never can anticipate all the "other" fees there are for decks, that much I know.
I have invited them to join us so maybe they can share their reasoning behind this. I really don't understand it.

I just read PurpleIce's comment,

And the price, even with worldwide shipping seems a tad high, with the price increasing the more you buy. Doesn't look like they want larger pledges?
$16 for a deck for 1 deck is on the high side for international shipping, but not unheard of. (used to it  ), but $16.50/deck for 6 decks is not. Not only does the price doesn't decrease in larger quantities, but it seems the shipping goes up per deck with more decks. First time i seen shipping work this way.

Wait is this SHIPPING prices?  Now I really don't get it...

I meant it as deck + shipping.

From what i know and from my little bit of shipping, it really depends on the items. Shipping companies tend to charge either by actual weight or volumetric weight, whichever is higher. I have done my fair bit of calculation and there is no way volumetric weight can be higher for a deck of cards, or any amount of decks for that matter, even with a good layer of protection. And usually the prices goes down per deck because of the initial base cost, so the more decks u ship, the base cost gets divided further per deck.

The costing makes more sense now because i missed out the art prints. (i only say art prints because i haven't seen anyone charge for brick boxes whether customised or not. I do remember seeing add-ons for customised brickboxes, but if you do not want it, doesn't mean they wrap your 12 decks in a shopping bag, you just get the plain old white ones.)

Just placed an order with LPCC.  Noticed that they had the Serpentine pair listed at $6.75 on the main Black Friday page, but the actual product page and cart listed them at $8.75.  Regardless, some really great prices on several decks I've been wanting to get.  Thanks EPCC & LPCC!

Question about the EPCC deal.  Was the bonus Red Zen Prototype deck for any of the 1st 144 orders, or only the 1st 144 orders of the Zen Brick Special?  It's not clear from the post.

I'm guessing it is first 144 customers with the brick. Kinda suck as they release this at 7am in my morning. And i don't know if i can still get it because it ain't listed in my shopping cart.

Not sure if this is Tarot, but from the image, looks like Tarot-themed playing cards.

Wow, I must be feeling ranty tonight...

haha, I was feeling it too for some reason. Out of character for me. I think it's due to this mess of a deck. Every time I look at it I feel like, Grrr. May have the same effect on you haha.

I think it is simply a matter of expectations. We are already expecting lesser and lesser from USPC, at least give us a freaking good deck on Club 808. It's like they were out of ideas and brainstorming for a new club 808 deck and hit a brick wall....until someone said, "why don't we try looking at it from another perspective?"

Crap. There goes my chances unless everybody stop posting for a week. 

Good luck to all those that guessed late this week or the next. It should most likely hit in that time frame.

If they can put a countdown timer on it, it should more or less be finalized and they probably have their decks somewhere on the printer already.

I really do hope we see something a little different this time.

These look so awesome, I truly doubt I have the patience to achieve anything like this without the help of a lot of glue...

I doubt i have the patience to do something like this WITH GLUE.

Welcome Collector and thanks for the link!

Do I really need to write "off topic" every time I go "off topic"? Because I go "off topic" a lot, and if I have to type "off Topic" every time I go "off topic" well that could take a while...
