Theory 11 just released 4 new decks packaged as one order: The Bicycle Heritage Series (= four Historic Backs)
- Acorn
- Lotus
- Nautic
- Automobile
These will be featured in a vintage banknote-style bag made of 100% natural and biodegradable jute twine.
Limited to 5000 sets
Along with these, they're releasing the expected: Rapture and Insane. Two incredible effects, certainly worth looking at.
I think The Heritage Series are a very good idea. I Love the side of the box, with the big bicycle letters. I'll certainly pick up a serie.
-
Do you think each deck counts as a separate product?
-
Well asuming there isn't anything new, I guess so. They maybe overhyped the fact they had '6' new releases. Saying '3' would have been better, but I like these decks, so no problem
-
i thought that they will be releasing 6 release that is by them .. but turn out to be 4 of the products were not ...
the heritage series is already available just that it is not available through their website .. and since there were sold as a set shouldn't that be consider as 1 release ?
-

I suppose so. Those decks were the items hinted that were not seen for a century.
On the other hand, but a monarch in a bottle and get another white monarch an an uncut on the house. How cool is that? (remember not to apply the discount code though). In a seperate order, buy a t-shirt and Andy Nymans's Insane to go with it and get another white monarch. Those are just some great deals I figured while surfing the site.
-
There has been white monarch uncut sheets available, but they're already sold out. Have they really being selling these?
-
And there is some sort of a glitch. You recieve white monarchs with every order, and you recieve a white uncut sheet with every order above 50 dollar. I'm gonna ask them if it's a glitch, or if it's really so...

You must be seeing things.
On a side note here's how you can 'obtain' some white monarchs. http://media.theory11.com/6835-Cleaning-my-Monarchs-
And where is christen and exposé?
-
Well, I have nothing in my cart and it says i get a free white monarch, and when I have above 50 in my chart it says I have both monarchs and uncut
-
If that's the case you should check out and get the free WM or better still get your cart to 50 and get the uncut as well
-
While I'd like a White Monarch there is simply not $50 worth of stuff that I could use. Nothing is really of interest in the shippable product category. I guess that means a Monarch is just not worth $50 in my eyes. Oh well.

They said they'd have enough uncuts all day, but they are already out of them. Cheap theory11. Real cheap.

What can you expect though. Theory11 had to make the sheets somewhat rarer than the deck, and I would say that they only had about 100 in circulation if they only last an hour and a half. Although the uncut didn't last all day, I have confidence that the deck may. At the beginning of the event, they had to of had at least 400 deck left if they started selling 500.

I know, but the annoying part is I had everything in my cart and had an uncut included. I decided to go ahead and add something else since I figured I had enough time, but then they sell out, and I'm left with nothing. Its just irritating because the statement "they will most likely be around all day" gave me false hope that I had enough time to go back and add some more products.
-
I skipped the new releases but I do have a white monarch deck and uncut sheet on its way to me!
-
I'm sorry for you loldudex. I think Theory11 did a couple of faults with what they said before their releases. They should not be as mysterious. I think they did that because of the fact that people wouldn't think they had to be quick to have the uncuts. That way there wouldn't be to much demand, and they could handel it. But as always, be quick no matter what. Just assume that there aren't as much as they say. I have been able to get one uncut, and I'm very happy for that. I'm sorry for the ones who weren't able to snap one. I do understand that people could get confused, and think there would be enough for 12 hours. I was too. I think I got one of the last 5 uncut sheets, cause just after my order, they said they where sold out so... Better luck next time loldudex =)
-
I find it very misleading that they say 6 releases when in fact it is really 3. Or 4 if we count the WM uncuts. I love the look of the Heritage series, but since we can only buy them as a group, they really only count as 1 release IMO. These releases all look very cool though, and despite them selling out of uncuts, their deal is pretty nice.
-
I was about to put an order in, untill I looked at the shipping cost. The cheapest shipping price to Canada was $39.00 :o Oh well so much for the WM deck, I'll pass on this release.
-
If anyone picks up some extra Heritage series decks, I would be happy to trade with you. Check the link in my signature to see which decks I have for trade. Thx!
Also, the two tricks look so visual and insane... I'm bewildered.

I shipped to Canada for $11

Well I picked up a White Monarch for $70 (1 Deck for $70) and now I picked one up along with eight heritage decks and two sentinels decks for $58 with shipping (11 Decks for $58)... Go figure... Serves me right... Anyone know where I can get some patience? It would save me quite a bit of money... By the way... I'm probably going to be selling the T11 Brown Acorns with the original deck of Brown Acorns... etc... I think that would make for a great collectible... The original decks along with the reprints... What do you think?
EDIT: If anyone from T11 reads this, I just want to say thank you... You didn't need to do this, but the fact that you did is very honorable and I have a newfound respect for your company... I feel it's the best $58 I've spent in a very long time and you made my day... Again, Thanks... -J.

You do realize that these aren't the same as the ones that came out for that warehouse store around the holidays, right? These are the THIRD batch of Heritage Series decks to come out, while that was the SECOND batch. The first batch had only red and blue decks with a less attractive box design.
A quick Google search showed me that T11 is the only shop carrying this set. Get 'em while they last!
I'm thinking this is a result of the working relationship T11 has with USPC. I wouldn't be surprised it USPC offered to buy the company! They're practically in bed with each other as it is.
And I agree that counting this set as four releases is somewhat deceptive, but T11's not exactly known for UNDERHYPING their products, are they? :))

Don, I actually also just realized that this isn't the same Heritage Series. I've also noticed they all are numbered by design. However, the numbers don't seem to have any connection with each other. Do you know anything about that?
-
The time when I ordered stated that the White Monarch Uncuts were sold out but the silly me forgot to use the discount code so I contact them and sorted out. The complications in between lead me to confirm with them whether or not I would be receiving them and they say yes my order would have both the sheet and deck. So there might be hope for those like me? :)

What do you mean by "connection with each other?"
There's eighty-some-odd deck backs that were produced by USPC before the "modern age" of custom playing cards. They're numbered based on which back is on the deck. Were you expecting consecutive numbers?
The previous "Heritage Design Series" from the holiday season was exactly the same design box, though with different backs and numbers for each back.
I like that they're including green and brown again, but I miss the Vintage Set where each deck came out in two colors, red and blue. You could have a matched set.

I was expecting them to reprint old back designs in a specific order, leading to the Heritage Design Series and other Heritage series decks to have numbers in order. I guess I was wrong :P

I'm pretty sure the numbers refer to the USPC's model numbering system for Bicycle backs.
I can't remember if the first Heritage Design Series were numbered one through four or not, but I know the Vintage Series was numbered as you described - only six of the planned twelve backs were released before the line was canceled, so they're numbered one through seven and I believe they skipped number four. But those were just numbers for identifying which deck in the series it was, completely irrespective of the back. By the second (and now the third) Heritage Design series, they opted to use the model numbers instead.

Thanks for clearing that up. A bit too much inconsistency by USPCC for my taste though ;) Just kidding.
Has anyone received their order yet? The more I look at the cards, the more I regret not having picked any up :( lol

I doubt anyone has recieved there orders. They released everything on Friday and Im sure they didnt bother doing anything on the weekend.
-
I haven't received a shipping confirmation. Has anyone received one?
-

Not yet too.
-

Nope, neither have I. I'm guessing I will receive my order before the weekend.
-
Received my shipping order this morning! :D was worried there for a sec...
-
I haven't even received a shipping confirmation! This is ridiculous.

Got mine today, and they did toss in a White Monarchs. Nice!
-
Is it just me, or did Theory 11 increase the price of the Bicycle Heritage Series?
I too recieved my confirmation a couple days ago. Cant wait for my white monarch deck and uncut!!!

Yes, they said they would increase the price:
"Originally priced at 24.95 for a set of four, we’re taking 20% off THIS WEEKEND ONLY!"
-
I hope it's some kind of error that I didn't receive my shipping confirmation. If I don't get it today, then I guess I'll have to talk to T11.
-
Just got my pakcage, have to say, this uncut sheet looks terrible. It's really breathtaking. Excited about the other decks I recieved too, my first charity water and so, so it's a good day for me... :D

Hmm, intertesting. I never knew that. Thanks for sharing that.
-
So... the reason that mine and a few others orders have not shipped is because T11 didn't receive their shipment of Bee decks and Bike decks and they didn't even realize it. Bee and Bike decks are on backorder, so my order won't ship until they're in stock... :(
-
I picked up mine today - also got the white Monarchs, even though I think I might have ordered a few minutes too early. I really wanted those Vintage Series decks! USPC has so much awesome art for card backs in their archives, and it's a shame so little of it sees the light of day these days. I saw some awesome Tally Ho backs that would knock your socks off!
