when are they going to release it ??Based on their tweet, it sounds like January 23rd but we don't know for sure
Ohh, I'm excited now. Hopefully this deck will be more pleasing than the vintage decks were >:(
My thoughts: No.Care to elaborate?

Sure thing. Releasing 1-2 decks a month is pointless. They're over saturating the market. I'm not even sure what relation they have to the Chinese people. Where was the inspiration drawn from? It's as baffling as me making a Columbian-inspired deck.
Also, this is hardly new. We had two Chinese New Year decks come out just last year (Gong Xi Fa Cai and another one).

The connection: LA has a large and vibrant Chinatown community, similar to New York City's. They're based in LA, could possibly be located in or near Chinatown, either residentially or professionally.
While the deck box looks pretty sharp, I agree that we've already had Chinatown and Chinese-themed decks before. And we've all had WAY TOO MANY Buck Brothers decks since what, Thanksgiving? It would seem that they're not just milking the deck collector market, but pushing the boundaries of the market bubble to the brink of bursting, if not past that point.

I agree, too many decks have been released in such as short amount of time, Fulton's Clip, Fantastique, Vintage Plaids, Arrcos, not to mention Jerry's and Tungstene from D&D on top of the other cards released by other companies as well..

No doubt this is the best Chinese New Year Deck in the playing card market. Frankly speaking , it somehow resembles a Chinese red packet: a small packet to put money for the married elders to give their children and relative's children. It also somehow reminds me of the Red Dragon Deck from MagicMakers. Anyone thinks the same as me?
I think it's also clear why USPCC is swamped and can't print decks like the Vortex for months. D&D and theory11 apparently use 100% of the press time with their weekly releases....

Yeah it's a shame really! Is this Chinese New Year the year of the playing card deck? Just curious, I've lost track of it by now ;)
Is there any confirmation that the deck will be release on 23 Jan?It would make sense that it is the 23rd because that is the start of the chinese new year. But it hasn't been 100% confirmed by D&D
Anyone mailed them?

As much as I think it would be awesome to make a deck of cards (assuming I had the ideas and the talent), I'd be practically afraid of getting into the business now. Finding a good printer that isn't my competition, elbowing my way into an overcrowded, overheated market against companies carrying bigger guns and throwing their weight around, getting the funding and doing the designing and other heavy lifting... It would probably kill me, or at least my relationship to my fiancee, since she'd never see me without my face buried in a computer screen.
Nah, they use USPC. See here: http://shop.dananddave.com/playing-cards/vintage-plaid-uncut.htmlI think it's also clear why USPCC is swamped and can't print decks like the Vortex for months.

As usual, D&D... No information... No confirmation... Nothing but secrecy and mystery... If this is indeed a deck, it appears that they're pretty far along in the process, so why not be candid with everyone that purchases their decks and keeps their lights on and let the card collectors know what's going on? I'm afraid that's too much to ask from the Bucks...They're magicians and performing artists. You expect them to take the Sam's Club approach? Building suspense is part and parcel of the market. Anticipation builds demand, as you're demonstrating here. Will it be limited? Will it sell out? Should the performer grab two bricks because this will be the next Jerry's Nugget? Should the collector? That tension is desired by marketers.
Here's my prediction:
This will have the "Theory11 Syndrome" in that it will have this jazzy, embossed, metallic box and the cards will have standard suits, standard court, a moderately interesting Joker, and that's it. I'd love to be wrong, but that sure has been the pattern lately.
Seems like the tuck box is the primary focus these days, which is odd because these things really don't sit on store shelves and need to "silently sell themselves." All of these cards are on websites, where we can see pictures of all the elements, so why the design focus lately has been 90% box / 10% cards is a mystery to me.
didnt they have an idea for a realy crazy deck once that looked like it would of been fully customized the black one that had colours everywhere it looked crazy but awsome and it never came out ><
me too it looked awesome they didnt go with that but they brought the cork clip out face palm damn now im thinking of those red and gold court cards drools i really hope there released the 23rd =)
Based on the pictures, they'll be like a v2 of the Fulton's I really like the pictures so far. I just fell in love with it when I saw the pictures. It would be epic if they did a cultural theme when printing these Fultons.Um, they have nothing at all to do with the Clip Joints besides the designer... It says Fulton's because they're designed by Brad Fulton. They aren't a V2 of anything.

Guys? We have NO IDEA whether they have anything in common or not, because we haven't seen more than glimpses of the box, never mind not a single card! They could be ANYTHING at all - you don't know, so stop fussing about it, would you? Honestly, you're comparing a known quantity with a practically unknown quantity... Might as well be comparing gibbons to monk fish...

That's exactly what this forum is for!! To talk about what we might think is coming...
We have a good idea that these are related to the Fulton's Clip Joint because of the same signature type thing on the box. The trailer from the first Fulton's gave a hint to there being more decks with the "to be continued" at the end of the video.
The Chinatown would go well with the film noir type of theme Dan, Dave, and Fulton are going with. You've got their first deck that has the classic black and white film type of look. To follow that up you have this deck with the Chinatown deck that has the film noir with a dash of color feel (Keeping in mind Chinatown was the most well known film noir movie with color).

@John that is true! haha it is the year of the dragon deck but it has that Chinatown feel. I guess I messed up there. I still think that is the direction they could be going. But hey I could be wrong!
Everybody thought the new Dan and Dave deck was going to be called "U.S. Regulation Playing Cards" and they ended up being the "Vintage Plaid" deck. So who knows!
I'm just taking my best guys with the puzzle pieces I have
I don't really understand what they are trying to do by releasing a new design every month.Did you read John's post above? D&D decks are produced by a number of different artists, they only print and sell them.
From what I see so far.....I like this design. This could be like someone else said though....Tuck box is awesome...cards suck.Brad Fulton has already proven that he can design a good deck. Look at the Clip Joints. Do you think they're all about the box?
@Moon...If their business model is to produce all of the different designs artists present to them...then we all better buy everything they produce right now because they are going to be out of business. As to Fulton's designs, I'm not discrediting the guy....I love the FCJ's...but we have only seen 1 design from him. We haven't seen anything but bits and pieces of this new deck. If you will notice I said I like the design so far....meaning the whole design could be awesome or not be. Like Good@Sabacc said, There is no point in arguing over the merrits or flaws of a deck none of us have seen. Over all...my post questioned the business side of D&D....I was not questioning their value as artists or art promoters.I'm not gonna argue about the design for the reasons that have been brought up before.
Brad Fulton tweeted, "Tomorrow Morning we will officially Enter the Dragon. #YearoftheDragon www.dananddave.com"
So that could mean a morning release but I don't know....
Its definitely going to be limited.... all D&D's decks are limited so far.Brad Fulton tweeted, "Tomorrow Morning we will officially Enter the Dragon. #YearoftheDragon www.dananddave.com"
So that could mean a morning release but I don't know....
Chances are, I believe it's going to be 8:00 PST - I just have a hunch. As far as pricing goes, I also think that it's going to be the same price as the regular Fulton's - if it's limited it might be a bit more. I'll try to make the release and see if I can get these at my store for pre-order - For all those who want this deck at a lower-than-retail price. :D
So there are 2 colors. This might be the new series cus they hinted something like smoke and dragon

"Scool" doesn't seem to be helping much... ;) Just busting your chops, no offense meant!
I wouldn't sweat this much. They haven't had a deck sell out since S&M v6 - Fantastique, Clip Joint and Vintage Plaid are all still in stock, so unless they've totally rejiggered their deck production numbers, this deck will be around a little while...
I guess you have a point there, although the fantastiques are out of stock ;)
The good thing is, people can buy this new deck AND the Fulton's Clip Joint all at once! If they want to haha. Get both decks in the series (I'm still thinking that this is the new installment) in one quick swoop 8)

How did you get so many gift cards and why would you use them all on these cards? Why not save them for future releases?
A Chinese theme with French court cards. C'mon, guys….This. ::)
I got 6 decks and my dad got 6 too
I wish I could get more because only 5000 of them
Also, $8.88 is because 8 is good luck
And there are a lot of people not being able to checkout because of a shipping problem
Didnt get any, Im not a huge fan of them and I am running low on funds to buy decks :( so I have only been buying deks I really like lately, also I don`t like how many decks D&D have been releasing lately that are "Limited" ;)
i asked brad fulton why theres no brick box and he said ( @zaganh (http://twitter.com/zaganh) @bucktwins (http://twitter.com/bucktwins) good question. Sad but true . We designed one. The limited size print run of this deck wouldn't allow us to print it. @zaganh (http://twitter.com/zaganh) @bucktwins (http://twitter.com/bucktwins) I'm more upset than you about it but it is out of our hands. We all wanted it. The realities of printing business.)
it sounds like these are really limited they wouldnt of sent such beautifull cards in a white plain brick box for no reason it maybe it exsplains the price too
they also said why there not more chinese customization in the deck on there facebook
Dan and Dave (http://www.facebook.com/dananddave) Andrej: You bring up a good point in regard to "Chinese Designs" on alternate cards. I chose not to go that route for good reason. These cards celebrate Chinatown and my love of the Chinese New Year as an American within a genre. They are not an expression of beautiful Chinese History etc (which i love and respect) but rather my personal journey of a very special place, and "state of mind" (as Robert Towne might say...).
Hope that explains my design route and I appreciate you bringing that up actually.

...I like the backs and the box and the AoS.Yeah. I like the custom parts of custom decks, too. I look forward to D&D budgeting for a full deck… though when they're already charging $9 for a deck, and almost enough in shipping that I'd expect *that* to be done in a custom metallic-ink box, I hate to think of how much such a deck would cost.

But it does go with the theme! And the price is high but its nothing ridiculous. $19.99 would be crazy by $8.88 isn't horrible
@magicaddictz we understand why it's priced that high, but it still seems ridiculous. Next thing you know there's gonna be decks inspired by events in 1999 and they'll charge $19.99 for it. It's a silly way to price a deck, in my opinion.

I ordered a brick of them and shipping was $6
I was really surprised by the price! Its usually much more than that
*I wont make a new topic for this until we know more then 1 sentence*It means more money out of our pockets into theirs. Also, it's more enthusiasts celebrating the Asian culture. Yay! :D - By the looks of it, you'd can probably guess that I'm Asian, and yes I cam

Yeah I guess the shipping is good/bad depending on how many you order. It could be incentive to order a couple more deck. *shoulder shrug*
*I wont make a new topic for this until we know more then 1 sentence*I dont think it is a deck because E is having their annual meetings this week and have been posting alot to FB I bet they are going to whatever town they are ins Chinatown

...when I ordered them, I change the decks from range 6-12 decks and the shipping price didn't change.
And this might be the reason of the minimum 4 decks as well, if you buy 4 decks that means you have around 8$ for shipping. But, for 3 or less, the shipping that included in the deck price isn't enough.
I'm a bit annoyed by the hike in price. $8.88? Come on now. This hobby is starting to get a little ridiculous.
Sometimes I don't think too much customization of a deck is good. Think of it this way. The only difference between our standard bikes, tallys and bees are the jokers, backs and AoS. So most of us perform with these cards and no one suspects a thing. So if we were to follow these tradition and only customize these 3 aspects of the deck, it would be great for performers. Sure it cost 8 times more for these as compared to the standard bees, bikes or tallys. But these are a limited run. Too much customization of a deck might cause the suspicion of the spectator but in the eyes of artist and collectors they are more awesome. It all comes down to what you are more of, a collector, artist or performer.
As a Chinese, I reckon this deck very suitable for the chinese new year occasion. The standard court cards and pips would also be suitable for use when we get together and gamble. I would definetly pick up one or two.

ok people. raising the price on a deck just because 8 is a lucky number in china doesn't justify how much bull shit it is.
im not trying to troll this thread by any means. i am just bewildered by people being ok with the price. if the deck was revolutionary then yes it would make sense, but it is very far from it.
"Bicycle is the largest selling brand in the world, Bee is the most popular casino brand in the US if not the world, and Tally Ho is actually not very common - outside of magic shops and online retailers, Tally Ho is a regional brand sold only within New York City."
Excuse me....... Let's get a couple of things straight. 1) Bicycle is not the largest selling brand of playing cards in the world. If you include all of the USPCC and Jardan corp, than yes the conglomeration is the largest selling in the world. But, not Bicycle alone. 2) Tally Ho is not sold only in New York CIty. There are plenty of sales of Tally Ho decks in many locations in these United States.
Got mine in today--I have to say, I'm unimpressed. I feel like the two colors on the backs aren't contrasting enough that it almost looks blurry. I wish Fulton would have outlined the dragon with some white borders or something to break up the drawings from the bright-red/almost orangish background. Once again, I feel like the site's images duped me into thinking they looked better than they actually are.Whats the handling like with this deck? Are they the same as the Clip Joint deck?
Wow a "limited" deck printed at 5000 isnt sold out after a week from a Bigger Name Company :oThats probably because they've been printing so many decks! People love their decks but not so many at one time because it makes it hard to afford. And probably not everyone likes the theme.
So did they rip him off? I'm confused...

They bear a resemblance in that they're both aces, and they both have a dragon. Beyond that...
The Chinatown Ace of Spades is definitely the better of the two. Finally, something nice to say about the Chinatown deck!
BTW: anyone get this deck and the Vintage Plaids? The orange used on the red suits is IDENTICAL to the orange shade of red in the Vintage Plaid decks. Aside from the yellowed background on the VPs, most of the cards are practically the same.

i agree his looks like a tatoo nothing like d and ds haha thats awesome i love the tone of orange/red so is the box that colour because people say the box is orange/red do they handle same as clip joints or plaid ?
Chinatown decks are finally sold out.I can see why. Honestly the deck had nothing very different from what we've seen so far. I like the colors, but there would have been many places for improvement.
This is a very long 5000 decks-sold out time.
It took 4 months for those 5000 decks to sell out? Thats crazy.
The Chinatown deck is just 5000 deck print run.
Clip joints are printed much more than 5000 decks.
Many Theory11 or Ellusionist deck are artist first runs and still have much more than 5,000 printed. With the amount of followers they have, the could release a deck from toilet paper and still sell more than 5,000.The Chinatown deck is just 5000 deck print run.

It does not seem plausible that D & D would have printed more then 5000 of an artists first run. Would not a distributor want to insure the demand first before making a large order more then 5000?
Can anyone confirm the number of Clip Joint's printed?
