Evan, did D&D hire you to do promotions?  Because you posted the exact same link, in shortened form, three days ago.


Re: Smoke and Mirrors v7

The link in that post, http://dnd.la/gameover, takes you to the same page as the link in this post, http://www.dananddave.com/smokeandmirrors/.  How could you not have noticed this?
I did notice it. My post was mainly for the quote. Thanks!


Please, no more spam.  The quote may be new, but the info is not.
It's not spam at all. It is info from D&D that I was posting. If anything, your post was more useless than mine.

haha oh goodness ^  ::)

The previews have been cool but theyve given us nothing on the deck itself haha I'm hoping for a good end to the series at a good price point. Do we have any info on when this will be released? next week, month, before the end of the year? cold hard facts?

All I have is "this month".  I'd guess Black Friday.

My thinking on this is they'll either be sold or they'll be part of some premium package like Ellusionist - "buy this, get that free."  I'm still guessing that it will be used for a mega-deluxe super-limited offering of the entire S&M series.  I mean, why else would they picture that "dog tag" image with a v4 "seal" deck and what we assume is the new v7?

I've seen the box, it's about big enough to hold a full brick.  Versions 1-4 had two decks each (1-3 were done in black and white; 4 was done with and without USPC deck seal), while 5 and 6 had a single deck.  If v7 comes in TWO colors, much like the first three versions did, that would bring the entire collection to a full dozen decks - one brick.

Can you image what such a collection would sell for?

Depending on the deals from E, T11 and D&D, I will have to choose very carefully and wisely.

You're not exactly alone there, bub.  But maybe you'll get lucky and at some point they'll do with that box what they did with the Variety Box - sell empties separately.

As opposed to very carelessly and foolishly?  :))  I think we have crowned yet-another King of the Obvious!

I think opposed to getting all of them haha. I wouldn't be surprised if the quality and creativeness of the products made it easy to decide. I feel like the quality of so many designs have fallen that I truly want only a few of the many releases.

That's what I was hinting upon. My guess is that this "gift set" will sell for close to $500.

I'll grant you there's been a few lackluster releases.  But remember - the big companies in this game usually save their most powerful "weapons" for Black Friday...  Some highlights from last year were LTD decks, the one-of-a-kind Variety Box Vintage Edition and free White Centurions with a $100 purchase (or was it $150?).

Nice to see you have a sense of humor!  One of my many nicknames was "Don Obvious"!

As I said, don't despair.  It's entirely possible that the ammo box will end up at some point as a separate item.  It's also possible that a purchaser of a set who only wants the decks will put his box for sale on the Discourse, UC or eBay.

I feel honoured to be a part. Come Don, join us and take this cupcake... it has sprinkles  ;)
If I can get my hands on a red artifice or gold arcane or, although ambitious, a white centurions deck, I will be quite the happy shopper.  8)

Well, first of all, it's a no-go on the White Cents.  They gave out the last of the reserve last holiday season.  T11 does not have any more - they're all in private hands.

Second of all, if you or any one else wants to continue chatting about what you'd like to get on Black Friday, perhaps a new topic would be better, since this one is specifically about Smoke and Mirrors, version 7.  The Black Friday release date was strictly my guess - the closest I have to a firm date would be that it's coming some time this month.

Yeah.  We've been speculating that this will be the deck seal for v7.

I know but it's a very weird turn for a deck that is generally Luxury orientated. Maybe what that case is, it's not v7, maybe a military themed deck.

Military themes in fashion and design experienced a big comeback after all these years fighting two wars on the other side of the world.  Dan and Dave are probably not immune to this trend.  And we know that it's for v7 - why else would they be posting these images during the v7 hype machine warm-up?

I dont think the first three versions are worth THAT much. They are probably around $300-400 range. This entire brick would definitely be worth the buy if it was under $450.

Remember though - you're thinking of trade/eBay value, while these guys are retailers.  These are the guys who sold Jerry's Nuggets at $350 a pack flat, no pricing tiers like what Lee Asher did.  I could see this - assuming that such a collection will indeed be offered - at least going for $500.
