I saw that you nominated hotcakes a few times. Because we are questioning empire bloodlines I wanted to know, has Hotcakes shipped yet?
Sherlock Holmes Kings WildOoooo. I forgot about this box! I got one and it does hold a half brick!

Hey Don/Rose, can I second someone else's nomination if I nominated something else?

Heretic Playing Cards by Requiem TeamI personally dislike the "theme" of this deck, but the brick box is by far the most beautiful I've ever seen!

You can nominate just one deck - but you can second as many as you like.
I'm just wondering if something wooden like that would qualify as a half-brick box or as an accessory. What are your opinions on this, fellow members? When I was thinking half-brick and brick, I was thinking of the standard industry box size, shape and composition - but it's not like I made that terribly clear, either.
Just so you know - if you want to make a push to have something changed, please let me or Rose know. Certain things - like allowing a deck that won't deliver before year's end - would be completely rejected, but this is your forum and your awards. Ideas are welcome. Post any non-category specific ideas in the main sticky topic on this board.
I think if it holds 6 or 12 decks it should be eligible.I think I have to agree, this is not a "traditional" brick box but it is still a brick box.
Thank you everyone for your nominations!!!
Just note if you pick 3-10 decks your first nomination will be the one that counts.
Also if the deck is yet to be released, the vote can only count if it is released in 2014.
When it gets to the Award Voting maybe we can split the awards to "traditional brick design" and "special brick accessory"!
You can nominate for either here. I say why not both! ;D
My suggestion is to nominate both/all here, if I make a separate category now for "wooden boxes" all these nominations may be lost.When it gets to the Award Voting maybe we can split the awards to "traditional brick design" and "special brick accessory"!

Clarify please. Nominations seem to be what's important here. What are we nominating on this thread? A Brick Box, or a Wooden box that happens to hold 6 to 12 decks.

So if there are enough nominations for each style we can make 2 separate awards later to vote on, but at this point it is anything that holds a half brick or brick!
Is that okay with you Fes, I appreciate your input so any suggestions for or against this option will be considered!
What does everyone think about keeping all "bricks" regardless of materials here for now and we can re-assess later?
I second the Uusi Redux Box.
Don,
PurpleIce nominated Uusi Redux Box in reply #14:
"I'm just wondering if we could have printed paper brick boxes in this category and wooden boxes in another, either with accessories, or a stand alone by itself. I have a wooden box that could hold 3 decks + dice + whatever from seven seas deck, and that, i believe, will fall under accessories. And if wooden boxes are ok here, i will nominate Uusi's Redux Box."
I'm the one who nominated Hotcakes box, so I can't second it.
I do hope someone DOES second it, as you did say that you'll be separating out paper bricks from 'furniture' bricks, so there is no conflict.
In the interest of vote consolidation I won't be nominating Uusi Pagan box, which is even classier, IMHO. Peter Dunham does great work.

Thanks for your input Fes, there is now a NEW topic for "Wooden and Metal" boxes! So it has it's own category now, I hope this helps! :)My suggestion is to nominate both/all here, if I make a separate category now for "wooden boxes" all these nominations may be lost.When it gets to the Award Voting maybe we can split the awards to "traditional brick design" and "special brick accessory"!

I don't agree. There is a thread up for wooden boxes now as those wooden boxes aren't brick boxes, they're accessories. From what I understand Brick boxes are for ease of manageability. 12 decks in a box are easier to negotiate than 12 decks loose. 12 brick boxes are much easier to negotiate than 144 loose decks. Helps out with handling the large volumes produced, shipped, and received. I haven't seen nor heard of any major card manufacturer using wooden boxes to accomplish that task in the year 2014. They use paper, it's light and rather flimsy only held together with cheap glue, but it accomplishes the task rather well.
I may be wrong. Just because I have never ever received a brick in a wooden box without paying for a wooden box separately doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I may not be buying from the right stores. Maybe someone is getting their bricks shipped to them in wooden boxes and I'm just not in the loop. It's certainly a possibility. Might be a question to raise in the various company topics, because if some of you are indeed getting bricks shipped to you in wooden boxes that you didn't have to pay for, I want in too.
Awards can have serious results. They're bragging rights for people/companies who win them if they choose to treat them that way. It is the public that's making the votes after all, their consumers. I think the process should be taken somewhat seriously as well, at least when dealing with the category the nomination is taken in and certainly when it comes to what category that voting takes place.
With Heretic scheduled to land on January second in NY, kind of a downer that it's not ellegible by one day. I absolutely love the brick box there, wish I had picked up three of them.
The best brick boxes this year in my humble opinion have Randy Butterfields name all over them. I suggest we just give him the best Brick box award for his body of work on brick boxes this year and call it good. The Ornates alone, absolutely fantastic. Boardwalk papers collectors brick box, love it! There's a quick three brick boxes. I nominate them all haha. (Break that one nomination rule, it's a bad one. :P)
Second the Hot cakes paper brick box so there's something here.
I nominate the boardwalk papers brick box. I do t have a pic on hand but I can get one if anyone needs to see it. I really like the deck tuck and the brick box.

OK, I'm going to count your first-nominated brick box, the Ornates. Whether others want to nominate the rest is up to them.
As far as Heretic is concerned, it's going to miss by far more than just one day. It's slated to arrive in the port of New York on Friday, but it still has to get to the distribution center and be packaged for shipment to backers. It will miss by perhaps a week or two if not more.
Of the previous two nominated and seconded boxes:
-- Heretic will not distribute in time.
-- Blueblood Redux's wooden box falls in a different category. If someone wanted to nominate their paper brick box, they can't - it and the decks started distribution on Black Friday of 2013 and isn't eligible for this year's awards. The wooden box is eligible in the appropriate category because it started shipping in January of this year.
This leaves us with Hotcakes as the sole seconded nomination to date. If none other gets seconded, the deck's brick box will win by default.
You have less than forty-three hours before the year ends and another twenty-four beyond that before nominations are finished.
Many people have been receiving some copies of Heretic in the form of their Heretic Gran Reserva decks, would that make Heretic eligible?
