Hello everyone
I'm BlueTuneDeck, designer Aloys!
I would officially release BlueTune Deck at eight o’clock in the evening on July 13rd.(Washington time)
BlueTuneDeck has completely self-designed Ace, Joker, Back and Tuck design and blue JQK design. It is beautiful.
The deck is produced by USPCC and printed using high-quality paper, Magic FINISH. It has two gaff cards (double back and White edge back). A limited quantity of 2500 decks is manufactured. It will never be printed again.
Only 720 decks will be released (remaining decks will be preserved for private use and awards). 720 decks will never return once sold out.
We will select 3 orders among the retail orders at random and present Red Jerry’s Nugget, White monarch deck and Blue Tune Uncut Sheet (only 20 exist). Please seize your opportunity.
My site will be released on July 13.( http://www.bluetuneplayingcards.com)
Thank you for your support.
Aloys!

I do hope that I can get some tomorrow, they are one of my favorites of the last few months.
-
I'm pretty sure I will have at least 1, these cards are so beautiful like the side of Mona Lisa's face. Thank you for bringing such blinding beauty into my face and hands. I hope I get mine soon.
-
Really looking forward to the release! I'll definitely be picking up a bunch of these! Great design.
-
Anyone know if that is Washington DC time or Washington State time? That is a 3 hour time difference.

Make sure you don't pick up too many so that everyone else can get some!!!

I'll probably only get 700 of them. That way, I still leave some for others :P

I can't wait for this release. This deck is truly beautiful, and despite my disappointement in the small amount released, I would sure love to get some either through retail or tomorrow.

I hope the website gets turned on sometime soon so we can check it out. (Still gives an invalid hostname error)

Awesome! Just placed an order.

The link doesn't work for me.

Sold OUT, thank you all!
Aloys!
-
The website doesn't even work, how can it be sold out?
-

You could have saved some for the rest of us!
-
I couldnt even get on the site, why would you only release 750 also? Dont try to make artificial rare decks ::)
-
couldn't get any here. thank goodness for magiccastle membership. But it was pretty unfair how the link didn't work, was it crashing because of too much traffic like T11 with the white monarchs?
-
there was nothing wrong with the site it didn't crash, it wasn't slow.. You just can't access it because it's sold out so he took it down. It was up for 10-15 mins. I got 2 bricks and I'm sure others did too.
-
I see, I only require 1 deck, I'm a student afterall I can't afford to get bricks. The rest of the people will just have to deal with abit higher prices with resellers.

Early bird gets the worm! Congrats on the successful release, Aloys!
BTW, vjose, you should watch out for those double posts of yours.
-
I was able to pick up 8 blue tune decks! I'm so glad that I got them. It's such a beautiful deck.
Thanks Aloys!
-
Got 6, now only hope I'm gonna have the surprise of my life, when opening the package I see a beautiful, cellophane wrapped, sealed, shiny red jerry nugget...
-
I was actually quite surprised it went out as fast as it did. Glad I got my hands on some. I'll be waiting to see how they handle.

You were SURPRISED that a release of only 720 decks sold out that fast - when people had practically no limit on the amount they could order????
-
actually its a total of 1440 decks in sales. 5 gross for wholesales and 720 decks to the public.
-
I see five resellers and many other smaller resellers (Buy few bricks to sell of in the end) instead...

Lol. A little bit I have to say. It sold out in approximately 13 minutes according to Aloys herself. I expected it to sell out pretty fast but I estimate in an hour or so, not within 15 minutes. :P

You forgot about the Gold Monarchs, didn't you? 144 decks sold in what, three minutes?

Gold Monarchs sold out in 90 seconds
-
I'm seeing a big aftermarket for this deck - which troubles me for a number of reasons...
I'm thinking that the blue version will go for between $50-$100. Probably more like $75-$100 after the initial market flood dies out.
I think the white version will be in the range of a pack of White Centurions. They're trading around $200 or so?
That's my guess in the eBay pool.

I wouldn't be so optimistic Don. This is he's first deck of cards, not a huge amount of people knew of it. I mean, it's not like there where 1700 people trying the get the decks, just like the t11 white monarchs. Still, due to his rarity it could be, but really not sure about it. Certainly if you consider the fact it has no borders, so not really practical for magicians...

Magicians aren't really a driving force in the aftermarket as much as collectors are. Do you really believe that a deck of Jerry's Nuggets would sell for $350 if it was the other way around? It's become fetishized. This deck did catch some attention - enough to be on 52cartes. And there's no denying that it looks like a very attractive deck. I stand by my estimates.
-
I don't think it'll go that high since there are resellers on top of the (I forgot how much..) released to the general public... but it's also up to the resellers to set the price unless there's like a mutual agreement between the two (Aloys and resellers)

How can we make a trailer if we don't even have the deck? And also, I don't think it is fair at all to give 1 person 12 White Tunes decks!

The whole point of a trailer, is that it shows the deck. The only way to enter is if you have the deck.
Also, it's a hard contest, so the prizes should be good!
-
She should have contests for those who haven't gotten the decks not for those who already have bricks of them like you.

Thank you

-
have the orders shipped yet?
-
I asked Aloys over at UC when the decks were suppose to ship. The only reply I got was "Mid-August" so I guess we will see. :)

Seems shady... I don't understand why you will continue designing the White Tune deck rather than send out the Blue Tune ones you already have printed and sent to you...
-
I'm going to contact them again in a few days as it is getting close to "mid-August". I do know I shall be getting my money back if I haven't recieved some kind of shipping notice before the 45 day paypal protection runs out. I have noticed a few people selling this deck on here and at UC in the Sales/Trade threads. Does anyone actually have these decks "in hand"?

@Alloys... Is there a reason that your site is down and that you have not answered any emails from people that sent you money to purchase your deck?

You're not answering his question. He's not asking when you'll be shipping but why you aren't communicating and why your site is down and why you'll be shipping so late.

this was already addressed. the site is down because the cards sold out. the site was up when the cards were being sold, they sold out in 10 minutes, she took the site down cuz it served no purpose.
as for why it's shipping late, she said from the beginning that they were going to ship in mid august. nothing has changed. i was merely asking to see if they got shipped early.
-
But why is she shipping so late if she already has the decks in hands? And that doesn't really explain why she isn't answering messages either. But anyways, I'll butt out and let people deal with it themselves. I wasn't even able to get the deck, anyways.
