Posted by Official Bicycle® Cards: "Something new. Premium, elite playing cards. Manufactured by USPC. Designed by theory11. Coming soon. [original pen and ink illustration]"
Looks like it could be the Rebels deck but it might be something else!
EDIT: I was told that this is not the Rebels deck!

I LOVE THESE! 100% getting some :)
also CBJ I can't post at UC because it says my ip is blacklisted or something.
-
I agree, the design does appeal to me. Is it using standard bike faces though? I'll need to see the faces before deciding whether to get these decks.
-
That was a nice surprise! Now I want to know if it's a T11 release...
-
Can you change the title to "T11 Archangels" or something please? Just so we can get our ideas clear.
-
That deck will be full of win. You'll have no ink saturation based on what I see and you'll get awesome giant fans based off my imagination.

ARCHANGELS – Available Monday exclusively at www.shopbicyclecards.com
The box looks insane! On Exposé they said that the box has new things never done before on a box. I'm excited for these and I'll definitely be picking some up.

Woah. These look awesome! The box looks so beautiful, so intricate. Ah. I think these will sell out in the blink of an eye.
-
I'll try and get two of these with the rebels If theory11 is selling them other wise I'll pass. Its very beautiful and all but nothing I'd really rush out for.
-
o.O - These cards are gorgeous. I might be picking them up. Look at the custom seal!

i think the box is really nice :D

It's designed by T11, but for USPC, not themselves. Since they're selling at Wingra Direct (a USPC subsidiary) I'm inclined to doubt T11 will be selling them. Remember, the two companies made this deal about a year ago to work together, hence the reason T11 redesigned bicyclecards.com.

Ahh ok thanks Don, hey why have people been saying USPC lately instead if USPCC, just to long?

Mostly because USPC themselves use the shorter version more often than the longer one - it's all over the history section at bicyclecards.com.

Shipping costs are impossible. 50 dollar shipping for 6 decks???

Couldn't agree more waiting for this to pop up on eBay :)
-
Now that... Is, erm... Expensive...
-
Sadly....shipping kills it to buy directly from the store.
Have to wait for bmpoker or another reseller on ebay.

I bought a few decks. Shipping was only $5.99. Im guessing shipping is very expensive for overseas customers based on what I have read recently : /

Yes, that is what I also believe. I find the pricing for the deck and US shipping very reasonable however. And the looks of the deck are just wonderful. I find it too bad that it isn't released on T11, as I would have liked to order other stuff as well.

Well, they carry a lot of the basics as far as decks, pretty good prices, AND there's a lot of people here interested in getting decks with cheaper shipping - you could pool together with them and make a purchase that makes the shipping to you worthwhile.

Theory11 will be selling these, I repeat, will be selling these.

Hey guys, this deck was designed by theory11 and illustrated by Tom Lane in the United Kingdom. The result is AMAZING. Under our partnership agreement with USPC, these are currently available exclusively at BicycleCards.com, but we will be releasing them here at theory11 in the coming weeks. Enjoy!

Damn, I should have waited to avoid USPCC's crazy shipping fees
-
Is there any chance that the ones sold at USPC will be different than the ones T11 will have, similar to the Guardians and Steampunk? With T11's track record I wouldn't be surprised if their version has more embossing and they call it "limited".

If that were the case I would be really pissed off, I bought 6 and would be bummed if theory11 released it with an upgraded box. There is always that possibilty though...

I'd like to think after the Steam Punk deck that USPC realized that the public prefers both their version and T11's to be a lot more similar to each other. I'm thinking T11 and USPC will have the same deck, that this is more like a USPC deck that T11 decided to carry rather than the other way around, even though T11 did the design work. For as long as I've been collecting, they've always carried some USPC decks other than their own.
-
It would really surprise me if they changed even the slightest thing. They designed it, so why would they want to change something they already find perfect? I don't think they would even change the box. They know they did some mistakes in the past changing some designs (gold monarchs etc, steampunk...), they won't do it again.
-

Now there's something that says a lot about how outrageous the fees must have been - to consider T11's shipping fees something less than crazy?

The idea would be that I could combine it with other items.

I bought a couple of these. I really wish they were fully custom but the back design is still pretty awesome.
The box is incredible as always with T11.

I placed an order through Wingra. Was only going to get two, but noticed that shipping for three is the same price.

Wingra is, or so I've been told, a subsidiary owned by USPC, just like Gambler's General Store. They specialize in current USPC stock.

Somehow someone already has the Archangels deck AND the unreleased Silver Steampunk deck and is selling it on ebay.
Anyone know how in the world they got the deck already? The Silver Steampunk deck isn't being released till December!
Could it be a USPCC worker?

Archangels are already available now at retail - Wingra Direct is selling them. I probably have my order sitting in my mailbox now.
As far as the Steam Punk deck, the person has a half-dozen - could be an employee, could be a partner company they use for promotions, could even be a T11 employee.
But at $50 for both, I'll wait, thanks!

I got my Bicycle Archangels decks today and they're very well designed. The box is stunning and the gold foil on it shines like crazy. The box also has a rough feel to it which is different. The back design is awesome and looks great in fans. The number cards are standard with standard colors. The court cards are standard but the colors a changed a bit and there is metallic gold ink and the metallic gold shines like no other metallic ink on a deck that I've seen!
Review coming soon!

Thanks for the info. Is that second picture black-and-white?

no, I just have wood floors that are grey :P
Yes, the second one is black and white.
-
This is quite a nice deck. A little stark perhaps with just so black and white on the back, but the design is very nice, handling is good and the box design is very nice. I'm pretty impressed on the whole.
-
@Evan... You are quite the weisenheimer... I've been in more than a few houses with gray wooden floors... Yes gray wooden floors... it's an expensive process... Congratulations on having gray wooden floors, it must have cost a grip...
EDIT: Oh yeah... The Archangels... I'm still undecided... The box looks nice and the Ace looks nice, but I just can't make my mind up regarding the back design...
-
Anyone knows where to buy them with bulk discount :-\

One of my favorite deck backs straight outta USPC would have to be the Limited Edition #1 deck - stark beauty all the way. This is more like the baroque version - that's a good thing...

I don't know if this is too late or not for you, but try calling them. Months ago during the Bicycle Big Gun deck sale I called them regarding two orders I wanted them to combine. They asked for my credit card number and my order number, and they solved my problem.

Thank you! After all, I made order and they reply in email. I get email of guy that worked with my order. He helps me
