Mana Deck

[Gunshy1]

so is this countdown for the pre-order?

[DeckOfCards]

contest winners received an email about the preorder and we can already preorder them! I'll probably preorder mine today.

That ain't fair!   ANYWAYS, how many are you ordering? Shipping must be expensive for people living in the states (hehe finally a deck i can save on shipping)

That's awesome! Have you figured out exactly how many you will be ordering?

[dmbaggs]

I mean we are all going to get our pre-orders in soon so it's all good. It's nice to finally have a date to look forward to instead of having this deck stuck in limbo haha

I'm hoping to get a few of these on the 5th!

[Frost]

Is the shipping going to be expensive or is it going to be low ?

[Paul Carpenter]

I can confirm that shipping is pricey for US people, $20 for 1-3 decks and it will take 2-3 weeks to get them.

Wow.... I can't believe I'm saying this but... I might pass on the Mana deck for now.

Yeah that's a deal breaker. I might pass on this one as well.

Would it be smarter to wait for a reseller with better shipping prices? 

[Gunshy1]

ya that's too bad. passing on these to wait for resellers.

[Frost]

I am going to pass i can get four bee Wynn's for $40 and with these amount of money i'll be able to get only 2 decks of Mana playing cards and the rest goes for shipping.

If the shipping is preventing people from purchasing these decks, why not do something like the Canadian's are doing? Someone trusted (like Alex or Don) could ask everyone what they want, pay them in advance (so people don't back out after he has purchases them) and we could request how many decks, uncuts, and signed paraphernalia that we desire, we all split shipping, and everyone wins. How does that sound?

Sounds really good to me! I hope someone will do that. That would make things a lot easier.

[Evan]

Sorry, I don't know how to check the shipping price.

[anep21]

There were a lot of words about possible Mana’s server crash. I am not an expert in this question and I believe Curt or other experts will correct me – it’s an expensive treat to have a strong server. I doubt Erik has such resources like D&D or Ellusionist. So it can be a clever move to propose pre-orders and possibly reduce appropriate risk in such way.
  International shipment of American decks is often pricey (especially per two decks). So I suppose abovementioned shipment costs (which still have to be confirmed officially) surprised more US insiders than other international customers. I believe bricks and collective orders can reduce this problem a little.
  I wonder what price of this deck will be in the secondary market. Black Crown has standard Arrco faces, standard AoS and Jokers (standard for this series of decks), 5000 run, US shipment → current US prices: $18-25.
  Actually I’d like to say several words about Mana Deck and other USPCC’s “metallic” decks. I like Mana Deck and I think that it’s the best sufficiently classic “metallic” deck up to date (it’s about beauty not about its handling, stock, etc). I’ll explain my point of view.
  I know such USPCC’s “metallic” decks: Gold Arcane, Brimstone, Fantastique, Theory11’s decks, Black Crown and 2 new CARC decks, BMPokerworld’s Premier Back.
 1) Black Crown and 2 new CARC decks are nice decks but they have only “metallic” backs and in general are similar to other decks from appropriate series;
 2) Gold Arcane and Brimstone are quite specific decks (like GA and really hate 2 faces in Brimstone );
 3) Fantastique and  Theory11’s decks are also nice decks BUT THEY HAVE ANNOYING MISPRINTS (check Queen♣, Jack ♣, King♥,  Jack♥, Jack♦ carefully). As I can see on 52cartes’ and MagicAddictz’s photos Mana Deck doesn’t have these misprints;
 4) BMPokerworld’s Premier Back doesn’t have abovementioned misprints but it’s a matter of taste and less customized.

It is too expensive and unreasonable. I may send 1-4 decks with a priority parcel that costs $8.5 to US and CA with tracking number and will be delivered in 6-8 days. If they charge $20 for 1-3 decks and will take 2-3 weeks (this doesn't sound like airmail) to US, I have to worry the shipping fee to TW now.

Don't worry digipunk shipping to other asian countries is much cheaper compared to other countries. I believe the prices would be 13-17usd and maybe he will ship via EMS, so it will only take 7-10 days or he can find some cheaper alternatives on shipping. Btw here in the Philippines, air parcel cost almost as EMS,   so it is a better choice to ship  using EMS.

[Aaron]

I may pass on these now, They are shipping from Asia, They are a bunch privately to people who have already won decks, and there is unreasonable shipping costs.
