I can't believe they did this again.
They had the gold crown that you could only get if you purchased X-amount of product.. then they turned around and sold it for 17.99
Now they have this deck (which you could only get if you bought a brick), and now they are going to turn around and sell it. Total B/S!!!
AND.. I still haven't even received a shipping notice for the brick I purchased just to get one of those decks!
I will NEVER fall for this crap again. I guess they didn't learn from how pissed people were about the Gold Crown scenario.

I'm guessing you didn't really read the ad copy on the page where they're selling Altruism decks. I have a quote for you below, with a few items in bold for emphasis:
We have also created a limited run of 2,500 white Altruism decks, which we have dubbed Snow Owls. The Snow Owls are not yet for sale, and so far have only been offered as a special promotional item.
That one paragraph makes it pretty clear that these were never intended strictly as a promotional item for selling bricks of the regular version. 2,500 were printed, and to say they are "not yet for sale" implies that they eventually will be. At no point did TBC say this deck would never go on sale or only be strictly a promo item. That copy was there from day one when this deck went on sale.
Well Don, you are right, we would have had to read it carefully (I bought a brick too despite of my dramatic budget condition just to get the snow owl) as I didn't notice that, but, honestly, I agree with CBJ they could wait to put on sale the snow owl a little bit more, specially having in mind the ones that bought the bricks have not even received our decks....
I am sorry, but I don't like this kind of movement, and, as CBJ says, I assume the whole responsibility of my acts, but I have the right to state I don't like it at all.
