Yes.  Even people who order a single download will get something!  Prizes can be viewed at http://www.thebluecrown.com/store
 
We're unveiling more prizes every day for the rest of the week!

Hey guys.  You'll notice that not all of the prizes have been unveiled yet, just the first few.  Hopefully the first ones are exciting enough by themselves!  We'll be uncovering more details every day.  The big event starts one week from today!

Yep. We may briefly go out of stock from time to time as a new batch is being printed, but for the most part they will be in stock for the long haul.

Hey guys. We announced the 2nd edition Crowns on our Facebook page last night. I've copied the text below, but make sure you visit our Facebook page to participate!



Hey everyone!

Tonight the wheels begin turning on a momentous event - The Blue Crown's first-ever holiday contest! This is our first holiday season with everyone, and we want it to be HUGE!

Starting this Friday, the 18th, we will begin unveiling the details of our holiday contest and promos. The contest will officially start at Midnight on Black Friday - that's 12:00AM EST on Friday the 25th. Stay tuned to our Facebook page every day until then to find out about the amazing freebies that will be included with holiday orders, as well as the massive prizes that a few lucky customers will win.

On Black Friday (or perhaps we should call it "Black with Silver Metallic" Friday...hint hint) we will be launching the 2nd edition Crown Decks in Blue, Red, and Green (plus a little something special). The popularity of our first edition decks exceeded our wildest expectations, with each color selling out in record time! On the 25th, all of the colors will be available again for you to own. We've also made some wonderful changes and improvements to make the decks even better. The shading from the original Green decks has now been applied across the board to all colors. We've also made subtle tweaks to the Ace of Spades and Jokers, and the box is now made from a special paper with embossed design elements.

Of course, we have more plans for Black Friday than just the new decks! In all, we have a whopping 12 releases to share with everyone, plus the holiday contests, and a few more surprises that you'll just have to wait for...

But hold on a second! You don't have to wait until the 25th to have a chance to get your hands on the 2nd edition decks! We have a Facebook contest that starts TONIGHT with 3 opportunities to win the brand-new 2nd edition Crown Decks!

Prize 1 - We've posted some new photos of the amazing new 2nd edition decks. Simply tag yourself in one of the photos for a chance to win 3 Crown Decks of your choice. If a photo is full, just tag yourself in one of the others. Tag yourself in one photo only please!

Prize 2 - Create a holiday-themed image out of playing cards. This can be a Christmas tree, a wreath, a menorah, etc. The sky's the limit, as long as it has a holiday theme. Tag us, and post the image to our page. The winner of this level will get 6 Crown Decks!

Prize 3 - Tell us how you've been good this year! In one or two paragraphs, tell us what you've learned, how you've grown, and how you've become a better magician. The winner of this level gets 12 Crown Decks! You can submit this paragraph on our facebook wall!

You can enter all 3 contests, and each prize level can mix-and-match the colors so you get exactly the decks you want! Deadline to enter is 11PM EST on Thursday, November 24th. Winners will be announced at 11:30PM the same night. We look forward to your submissions, and hope to see you all on Black Friday for what is sure to be a night to remember!

Really nice work, these look great!

I can see where that confusion would come from.  Since these are still "Crown Decks", we consider that they're "back" in stock.  Though from an extremely technical point of view, these are indeed in stock for the first time.  The original newsletter does mention the changes and improvements to the new version, so one would think those facts would be enough of a hint that this is a new printing.

My "back in stock for the holidays" reference was in response to the comment from Junjie04 about the decks only being available during the holidays.  They'll be available well after the holidays and into the future.  Of course, there will be plenty of good reasons to buy during the holiday season. 

This Halloween announcement is just a quickie nugget so that fans know Crowns will be available soon.  All of the details will be posted later, and it will be clear that there are differences between the editions.  Of course we want everyone to know exactly what they're getting.

I don't know if the number posted (30,000) for the Crown Decks was a guess or if someone is feeding wrong info, but I can definitely say that if you were to combine the entire runs of Blue, Red, and Green Crowns, you still wouldn't be anywhere close to 30,000 decks.
