I still haven't received my first order.. total BS

Oh, that must be harsh on you CBJ have you tried contacting their support or shipping department. Have you received your order confirmation yet?
Anyway MagicAddictz, do you know the price points of these decks? D&D had something like this (fortunately), but in their re-release the hiked the price up a bit. TBC might do the same thing.

I don't know the prices but I think they will be the same prices as the initial release!
Black Crown- $7.99
White Arrco- $5.95

I'm going to be on a plane, does anyone want to grab me some and sell them? :P
-
I guess I could, but shipping them to you from Canada would be a little expensive ::)
Then again, if they don't sell out TOO fast I could probably make a separate order shipped to you.
-

I may be able to. How many do you want?
-
was this info sent thru email to previous customers or something? cuz i dont see it on the webpage....or maybe im blind.
-
I found it on http://52cartes.wordpress.com/
But it has been confirmed by The Blue Crown!
-
sweet, thanks for the heads up. definitely gonna get some. hopefully they actually ship it to me tho lol. i've heard some ppl havent gotten theirs yet.
-

CBJ
I haven't received my order either >:( I sent a message to there support staff, yesturday and still haven't heard back from them. Not impressed.

I hope to pick up a couple of these this time around. And I'll have some Christmas money to help me along the way, too!
-
I'd like a brick - if anyone wants to pick one up for me let me know, I'll cover shipping costs.
-
Hmm what was the original price? If my credit card can cover it, I don't mind getting it for you, as long as you can pay fast :) would a paypal transfer work for you?
-
Say they release 500-1000 of these. My guess is they go out of stock in 10 minutes or less. :o
-
Then you checkout in 10 minutes or less. ;)
It's early afternoon for me, definitely not a problem
-
I still haven't received my first order.. total BS
CBJ
Me neither.
And I'm not ordering for more.
-

I think the original price was $10 per deck? I don't think I'm willing to pay the International shipping cost though. Nothing against you, I'm just barely at the point where I want these cards in my collection, but not at the point where I want to drop a hefty dime on them. :P

Whoa, I think I mixed up the two black crown thread... ::) I mentioned in the other one that I could have placed a separate order shipped to you if the sell-out time allowed me, but then I checked my credit card balance and realized I didn't have enough for a brick anyway, because of a mistake on my last pay as well as a gift I paid for today. And since we're not even sure of the price yet, paying in advance isn't really an option.
So I'll just pick up a couple decks for myself then. :)
-

Alex, since you're coming to visit my area anyway, I'll try to pick them up for you. They'll likely arrive before you do, and even if they don't, I have my first brick (plus the bonus deck - thanks, Alex Pandrea!) which I could hand over instead of the one I'll try getting Sunday. That's TRY, as in I hope I'll not get shut out. Say the word and I'll go for it.
-
my 1st order have not arrive yet .. but i guess i might order more of the black crown .. do you all know how many of these will be sold at their website?
-
I recieved my decks today and also got the one free deck that Alex Pandrea mentioned so I'm pleased with that. First impressions are that they handle like the other Crowns but I think the mettalic ink on the back looks great and the tuck case is definately a favourite of mine next to the S&M's and LTD decks and a few others, the little embossed logo looks very nice also. I dont think I'll be picking anymore up though.
-
just curious was there a special part of their site that allowed you to buy these, because i went to the playing cards part of their site, on the day they were released, and all i saw was the v2 versions of blue red and green crown. and when those 3 colors sold out in version 1 they still had their picture up saying sold out. i don't see anything like that for the black crown. please help, really don't want to miss out on this this time.
thanks
-
I also got my decks the other day and they were nice enough to include an additional Black Crown and some deck seals, so I got 5 Black Crowns! And I am selling if anyone is interested, but only like 3 available and $25 each plus shipping.

Go for it, I can pay you in cash in NYC to avoid PayPal fees as well. :)
-
Still waiting on my Black Crowns.... But then I am in the UK....
-
I just got them this morning. They are great.
The box is stunning.
And I never knew the cards has metallic ink too.

Sounds like a plan - done. I'll give you a heads-up if I pull it off. If I don't, I could probably dig a little deeper into my personal stock and sell you more than we originally dealt for.

They're going to appear in the normal playing cards section of the site. When they were first offered, they appeared there, but with the server crash issues, it looks like TBC opted to simply remove the posting instead of leaving a "sold out" sign up not longer after the initial "sell-out" took place. If you'll look, you'll see that the White Arrcos are also still listed, though shown as sold out, while they've been gone for several days now. There was no server crash issues on that sale, and the Arrcos are still available from NYMP at arrcocards.com

It's in 8 hours guys ;D I marked my wrist with a sharpie to be sure not to forget :-\ (On a spot usually covered by my watch that is.)

Hey, you could DRAW a watch on your wrist. You'll have the correct time twice a day - or just once if you use a 24-hour clock...
:o
I'm looking forward to it for a second reason - it gives me an excuse to spend some time awake this morning with my girlfriend's two sons.
-
You know, twice in a day is actually a good score! ;D
I missed it the first time so I'm hoping to pick up at least three decks today. ::)
-
Update, guys!
The Black Crowns will be sold by the brick only. You will not be able to buy single decks.
This probably means that I won't get any; I doubt I'll be allowed to spend enough money to buy a whole brick.
Also, the release is in just half an hour! Anyone hoping to pick up a brick (or more), I hope you'll be ready and waiting!

Same crap D&D did with the V6s.. total BS
"Oh, we just happen to have more decks.. so many that you have to buy BRICKS of them!"
-
I stand by my previous statement:: "The Blue Crown Company is no friend to the card collector."
-
Okay, nevermind, I'm not getting them anymore. Off to Theory11 for a DVD or two. :-\
Seriously, only by the brick? Not everyone can buy bricks of everything...
-
depends on the price i may or may not pick one up. i can't believe im staying up to 3am for this :|
and what half an hour u mean 1.5 hours? or they changed to earlier release?
-
Nope, 1PM EST is in 20 minutes from now. It's my time zone, so you can take my word for it. :)
-
thank god i have u guys otherwise id miss it :|
-
and what half an hour u mean 1.5 hours? or they changed to earlier release?
No, half an hour as in 0.5 hours. In other words, 30 minutes.
Although, as Moon.exe (http://aethercards.com/discourse/index.php?action=profile;u=1832) said, it's in 20 minutes now.
-
This is severely disappointing, I missed the first release and was really excited for this one because I absolutely love the black crowns as well as the box design but I can't afford a whole brick right now :( . I guess I might just pick up a couple of the new Theory 11 decks.
-
The release is in about 15 minutes from now, selling the Black Crowns by the brick can be a pain on both the buyers and on shipping. Ah! If the Black Crowns are going to be sold by the brick, are the White Arrcos going to be. I'll check out the website, they did mention discounts on their regular Crown decks.
-
Hmm I just freed up some more spade on my credit card, so I might be able to get a brick if that's how it goes. If I do, I'll probably resell most of it. ::)
-
Do I have to be the one to say it?
Have you considered grouping up with your fellow Discoursers to buy a whole brick together and SPLIT it?
-
where did u guys get that info? i havent seen anywhere that said it's by brick. they havent said anything on the forums or on facebook regarding buying by brick.
-
Have you considered grouping up with your fellow Discoursers to buy a whole brick together and SPLIT it?
I would have suggested this, but if I did that, I'd have to find another UK user. I wouldn't want to impose international shipping on anyone when they don't need it.
-

Easier said than done when there's only 10 minutes until the release.
-

it's from their email. consider adding your email to their mailing list and you'll see it too!
-
Oh, I forgot to say. White Arrcos will be by the brick only aswell.
And, it seems, the other coloured Crown decks. Although, a mixed brick can be purchased with 4 each of the Red, Green and Blue decks.
where did u guys get that info? i havent seen anywhere that said it's by brick. they havent said anything on the forums or on facebook regarding buying by brick.
They just emailed me to let me know.

There is at least one other UK user on here I know of - you AREN'T the only one.

Definitely plan on picking up some decks in 5 minutes :D :D

Last chance to pick up Black Crowns and White Arrcos!
This is the last chance to pick up the Black Crown Decks and White Arrco Cards, sold by the brick only. Don't miss out, once they're gone, they're gone forever!
The Black Crown Deck
These will only be sold by the dozen! No single decks will be sold.
Ever since we debuted the original Blue Crown Decks in May of 2011, people have known that they're something special. The popularity only increased when we released Red and Green versions to complement the original Blue Decks. Today we are happy to unveil the Black Crowns, bringing the Crown Deck series to a beautiful and elegant conclusion. This deck features our beloved back design, now rendered in stunning black and metallic silver inks. The Black Crown deck is sophisticated enough for the high roller table at any casino. The flexible, durable card stock and premium finish ensure that the decks handle like a dream.
For the box, we've taken things down a notch. Instead of showcasing our glorious Ace of Spades design, the box has a minimalist look. It's a solid black bar with an embossed silver Crown logo on the front corner. One glance at the box tells you that there's something truly special inside. The box is made from thick imported paper for long-term durability.
The White Arrco Deck
These will only be sold by the dozen! No single decks will be sold.
Arrco US Regulation playing cards have one of the most beautiful and well-loved back designs in history. Originally offered in Blue and Red, Arrcos have been out of print for a number of years. This special custom run of White Arrcos offers the classic design in a color scheme that’s never before been available.
No expense has been spared to ensure that these cards handle like a dream. We started with a pliable yet durable stock and added USPC's top-of-the-line finish so these cards handle just as beautifully as they look. We also built a special card reveal into one of the Jokers and included 2 double-backed cards for magic purposes. There may just be other surprises to find as well!
The Crown Decks
These will only be sold by the dozen! No single decks will be sold. We are also offering a mixed dozen of Crown Decks (4 Green, 4 Red and 4 Blue) for sale!
The Crown Decks are new decks of custom playing cards designed to evoke quality, elegance, and style. Featuring Arrco faces, with a Tally-Ho inspired design, the Crown Deck was made for us by the US Playing Card company with a BRAND NEW stock and finish process to ensure lasting quality, durability, and handling superiority. The result is a deck that feels as good as it looks, and will add a touch of class to your magic and flourishes.
-
There is at least one other UK user on here I know of - you AREN'T the only one.
Yeah, I know, I've seen someone say they were from the UK, but I can't remember exactly who it was. And with 5 minutes to go, I won't bother trying to look. Also, there's no guarantee that any of the other UK users will want to get any Black Crown decks.

They did have a glitch when the servers went down - make a new request to join the mailing list.
-
Two minutes! This is the first time I'm actually waiting for a sale like that, the anticipation is worse than I thought ::)
-
can anyone see them i can't?
-
It's after 1pm, where the hell are the cards?
-
no cards yet, site's getting hammered.
-
YEah, the site is slower than usual which means there's probably a lot of traffic, but still nothing...
-
well this is slightly aggravating...
-
Just picked up 10 bricks!!.. from Home Depot to finish a project in my front yard
I'm passing on the cards
-
Yeah, I'm having the same problem as you guys. It takes about 15 seconds to just reload the page. And I can't see the decks yet.
I may consider getting a brick, if the price is right.
-
Same here... no decks yet :-[
-
if they had just released the prices there wouldnt be as much traffic cuz then ppl that cant get em wont bother refreshing all the time. they screwed that up by not telling us a price. probably cuz it's high lol.
-
Blasted vaporware!!! Where are they?

There you go
(http://www.thebluecrown.com/store/the-black-crown-deck-dozen.html)
-
$50 a brick! That's cheap! That's for the mixed colours, though.
$105 a brick for the Black Crowns. No way. I mean, I didn't expect them any cheaper than that ($8.75 a deck), but still. I won't be buying them if they're only sold in bricks.
-
Less than 2000 decks available.. shouldn't that be a given
-
how much were they during the first release?
-
are these the first or second edition??
-
Trying to get one, if I can get it to work... The site is ridiculously slow now.
-
Alex, you owe me $113.90 - I got your brick. 8)
-
I was able to put 100 bricks in my cart.. they are releasing a ton.. I thought they only printed 5000, and sold 3000 last time
Total BS
I'm sure they'll find some way to explain it.. these companies always do
-
Yea looks like I will have to pass on these :( thats just too much for my wallet at this time. If anyone is willing to part with a couple of their black crowns for a fair price, shoot me a PM, I still really want some and it would be greatly appreciated.
-
wicked, just got 3 bricks and 1 mixed.
-
Site's ridiculously slow, but I got a brick.

well 100 bricks is 1200 decks which is less than the 2000 they should have left so maybe it's still legit lol.
-
Are the mixed bricks 1st editions or 2nd?
-
I got a brick of black crowns :D took everything else out of my cart to be sure my credit card would take it...
-
picked up a brick sigh* probably will have to sell off at least 10 decks
-
OUT OF STOCK
-
sold out...glad i got mines
-
YES!! Got my brick!! :D
-
woah wtf they out already?
-
If anyone's willing to sell a deck for a fair price, I'd be glad to get one. :) Just drop me a PM. c:
-
The bricks have officially sold out, I could not have cared either way. I'm surprised people still have money to shove around. :O
-

I'd happily buy a couple from you for a fair price :)
-
I've just got confirmation that the Crowns they are selling by the brick are 2nd Editions -
"Hey, it is the 2nd editions with the thicker tucks, and shading, and
embossing. Thanks!"

Confirmation? Of what? That you DIDN'T get a brick?
-
guys i found a website that sells only individual deck! http://www.shop.discardsing.com/
I hate it when companies are trying to clear away their stocks by selling it in bricks.
Bought a few of those from that website myself, friendly guy.
-
forgot about the bonus stuff. i think i'll be getting a bonus deck of black crowns if they have any left...
im more interested in the porper clip or art book tho. but both are sold out so i wonder if i'll get anything there.
did anyone get the free t-shirt thing in their order confirmation? i searched the site and have no idea what it's about.
-
The t-shirts were for the $100 tier I think(If someone could confirm this...), but all the rewards state "While supplies last", which would explain the lack of a $100 tier at the moment. We would probably get the PDF then.
By the way, does anyone have an idea of how long First-Class Mail International generally takes? ::)

ic, so i guess they might still have the porper clips or the artbook left since that bonus tier is still on the site. hopefully i get one or the other.
from states to canada is usually 1½ to 2½ weeks. i had to use priority cuz i bought 4 bricks. that usually takes 1-½ weeks. not sure where u r tho so i cant say definitively. but i wouldnt expect it for at least 7-10 business days after it ships.
-
So then I'll be expecting my Ellusionist package, my black crowns brick AND my Revision 1 deck all around the same time... Talk about an exciting beginning for the new year ;D

im pretty sure he emailed and asked them. thats why he says he got confirmation from them...i.e. he asked them through email and they confirmed it. it wasnt a mass email. everyone was asking which version those cards were and he was the only one that actually asked them. they answered quickly, so he put the answer up on the boards.
-
YES! Thank you danktrees! Anyway Sabacc, honestly, why would I cry wolf if there was no wolf? I'd show you a screenshot of the email they sent me if you'd like.
-
i did not get it .. i was going to buy 1 brick but sold out .. anyone bought it ?
-
Alex, you owe me $113.90 - I got your brick. 8)
Cool beans. :) I can only access the boards off my phone now but we should meet up sometime in the next week.
-
2nd and last release of these and I missed them again..damn it! lol I will have to pick some up later from buyers sometime in the future. Congratz to those who picked these up!
-
I'm gonna sell off my brick way cheaper than others on eBay as soon as I get it. I'll post a link here once I list it.
-
I'll have some decks to sell too, I only need two or three for myself. :)

OK, I can see now where this conversation took a left turn and slammed into the guardrail...
The subject of this topic is BLACK CROWN DECKS LAST CHANCE.
The "Crowns" you're referring to are the BLUE, RED and GREEN Crowns, sold in a mixed brick.
The Black Crowns DON'T COME IN A SECOND EDITION. To quote the page where they're selling:
"Only 5,000 of the Black Crown decks have been printed, and they will never be printed again. 3,000 of the decks are now for sale, with the remaining 2,000 set aside to be used as prizes during the holidays and for future contests. The time has come. Get your Black Crown decks now and add a dash of elegance to your magic."
Perhaps you should discuss the mixed bricks under a new topic? And also be more careful (AGAIN) about using confusing abbreviations.

Cool beans. :) I can only access the boards off my phone now but we should meet up sometime in the next week.
Without a doubt. You're saving on the PayPal, but the drawback is you're losing out on the contest entries!

OK, I can see now where this conversation took a left turn and slammed into the guardrail...
The subject of this topic is BLACK CROWN DECKS LAST CHANCE.
The "Crowns" you're referring to are the BLUE, RED and GREEN Crowns, sold in a mixed brick.
The Black Crowns DON'T COME IN A SECOND EDITION. To quote the page where they're selling:
"Only 5,000 of the Black Crown decks have been printed, and they will never be printed again. 3,000 of the decks are now for sale, with the remaining 2,000 set aside to be used as prizes during the holidays and for future contests. The time has come. Get your Black Crown decks now and add a dash of elegance to your magic."

i see what you mean. but at the same time i dont know why you're only pointing him out. the fact remains that he made that post in response to a question that was REPEATEDLY asked in this thread. so if u're going to call him out on it there are a bunch of other people that u should be addressing too.
furthermore, anyone that was following the thread knew what he was referring to. it was pretty clear he was talking about the coloured decks. maybe he should have posted that info in a completely new thread, but seeing as how the question was asked as early as page 2, it's probably more pertinent to post it in here as opposed to creating a new thread for a question that was asked repeatedly in this thread.

Were this a one-time thing, I'd have blown it off and not cared, but I've had many similar communication issues with him in the past. Calling the mixed brick "Crowns" is like logging into a dating site and setting your criteria for perfect match as "human; any human will do" - it lacks a certain degree of specificity. I wasn't the only one who thought it was vague and off-the-mark. In a thread about "Black Crowns", in a post that offered no quotes from previous writers or references to them by name to indicate precisely which Crowns he was referring to, it was not hard to misunderstand him, and therein laid the problem. Meanwhile, we were going back and forth, with me thinking he's trying to claim the Black Crowns were 2nd Edition when such edition doesn't exist and him thinking I must be crazy thinking that the mixed-color brick were 1st Edition when he spoke to TBC asking about them to verify they were 2nd Edition.
We just had a nice chat about it in PM - it's fine, there's no bad blood or anything. And yes, I did react strongly, so I'll try to ease up a bit. I asked him to be a little more careful when communicating to make sure that what he's writing and what he means are indeed the same thing, written clear and with little chance of misinterpretation.
Hey, I've had worse. Life goes on, you exhale, you forget it.
