crap wrong thread mods you know what to do, sorry

Looks more like a tribute deck to Bruce Lee. Surprised you didn't pick up on that.
-
Bruce Lee, Game of Death Deck? ::)
-
Yah, some sort of ninja related deck. Let's see where Fulton, if it's him, decide to take this deck.
-
These are being released tomorrow but for members only :(
-
Ah! - Quoted from their twitter account:
"***Members***, check your inbox tomorrow night for an exciting new LIMITED release. http://instagram.com/p/OXkkdmm6rA/ Not a member? http://dnd.la/membership "
-----------------
Chances are it's going to around 5PM PST to 8PM PST. The link's probably going to get leaked. Anyone here a member?

The faster you learn to not purchase every release, the faster you'll learn that purchasing every release will make you depressed in the long run.
I am now the proud owner of pretty much every release from 2010, and I have no idea what to do with the decks. If it weren't for the $1000-2000 I spent on them, I'd chuck them all. :| Always buy what you love, what has a story behind it, what you can't wait to get your hands on; avoid things that do that for other people.
I remember I bought the Palmettos, Aladdins, and various custom Bicycle decks just because people were flipping out about them. The decks were so awful that I can't wait to start up my YouTube channel again just to have a laugh (specifically the Palmettos).
My current collection, which I think consists of about 200 of my absolute favorite decks, is something I wouldn't trade for any other collection. I have over 2,000 decks in a suitcase that I plan on selling off as a result of trimming the fat off the collection.

Limited to 333 decks? Maybe they're selling 333 but there has to be thousands more...
-
Fulton decks are expensive enough. I won't e surprised if they go all Tungstene on us and charge $20 a pop.

Isn't yellow kind of racist?

I am always serious... ;D

So far I dont like the look or theme of this deck, so I am thinking like most of D&D's releases lately these will be a pass for me.

To be fair, he stole my joke from Facebook. >:(

sad day for non members :(

I'm neither shedding a tear or losing a second's sleep over this deck. It looks better that Chinatown, but that's not a big hurdle.

Non members were able to purchase the decks

Now that's just dumb. You'd think they'd actually verify that orders were coming from members. So I can get all the benefits of being a member regarding exclusive releases by just waiting for some member to leak it to me? Why join!?
-
someone from the inside probably leaked intentionally. it just makes the people that got the "leaked" links so much more special and smart.it might be a marketing thing. make people feel better so they want spend money thinking they got a deal out of it.
"leak the links to the public..people who get the links will spend money like crazy and people who doesn't get it will pay for membership..win win for us!" - DD
"sweet..leaked link to member only products. i saved money on the membership and still be able to get the perks! time to bring out the credit card..." - customer 1 (obtained leaked links)
"members only?!?!..time to buy the membership so i can be cool and get the insider stuff!" - customer 2 (unlucky person with no links)
"products are selling, memberships are selling, money is flowing in...marketing successful!" - DD
-
dam it .. couldn't purchase it .. i am currently bidding on a auction on ebay by evan .. hope that i could win , always a big fan of bruce lee now since the deck is a tribute to him i guess it will be pretty cool to own it ..
The yellow isn't racist .. bruce lee is always wearing a yellow suit when he fight

You want to get "a few" - Looks like, with one WM, you'll only be able to get one Chinatown
Limited to 333 decks? Maybe they're selling 333 but there has to be thousands more...
As much as I would like them to, I hope they don't decide to resell these with some extravagant sale for Black Friday, speaking of which is coming up soon.
-
Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I contacted D&D about non-members buying the decks and this is their response. Nice to see they are on top of things.
"Do not worry. We are in the process of canceling all non-member purchases.
Syd"

I can't believe I share the same hobby as this guy... Such an incredible little snitch... Writing to tell on the people who were fortunate enough to get decks and beat the system... So incredibly short in stature... And the fact that this clown would then post the personal response as if he did something grand... For shame...

I don't think the snitching was actually his point. I think he is just one of those people who want to "rain on everybody's parade". If he didn't have a membership, he would be complaining because they only released the decks to members. If you notice almost all of his posts are negative in some form. And Yes I do have a membership and did get some of these decks so he didn't ruin it for me. It's just I share the same opinion that it is in really poor taste to notify DandD and then to brag about the fact. Its like he is a kid who wants the hotest sold out toy...not because he actually wants the toy but so he can brag to others who don't have it.

I see a kid, a whiner. I don't mind if my order gets cancelled, for sure these would be released again. What irks me is that we share the same community, We should be helping each other out, not tear everyone's shopping cart just to have his candy.
Some people are just - impossible. ::)
-
I didn't snitch on anyone and I wasn't bragging about anything. I just threatened to cancel my membership because it cost too much money when I could get the decks as a non-member. Any I was just letting you know what they told me. I never whined and I never complained about anything, go check my post again. I did however see a lot of whining and complaining about the fact that these were for members only. What is fair is fair I suppose and i'm sure many other members complained about it as well. You would too if you paid that much for a membership and then had non-members buying them up!
And if for some reason you think all my posts are negative then you obviously haven't seen all my posts. It is unfair to say all my posts are negative when this is far from the truth. Stop twisting everything around on me just because you share a different view point on things.

I understand they made this members only and ok since if I really want them I bet I can get them re-sell once others get them. also every post I see of yours is negative vmagic. I littarly know if I see you post you are complaining about something.
-
Well...after reading through two different forums about this topic, it looks like you proper screwed yourself Vmagic. I share the same opinion. You have both members and non-members of D&D saying you were in bad form crying to D&D about non members buying. This is a community (well it was once a community) where we all took care of each other. Now it is just a bunch of gouging everyone and apparently crying to the companies to get your way. What it basically boiled down to is this guy came too late to buy the decks and threw a tantrum to D&D. Now he is happy that he got the decks and wanted to flaunt it to the people that placed orders. Way to blacklist yourself. Yes, there children in this hobby, but you take the cake of all the shenanigans that have preceded your little fit to D&D.
Now, D&D was already on top of things in regards to taking care of the non member purchases. I would say that they are right in doing so. We non members will have an opportunity at a later date. No big deal. I personally didn't have the funds right now anyway. So either way this was no injustice to me. So you tattled when it wasn't even necessary and screwed yourself in the process lmfao! Congrats ??? :t11:
-
Funny, the only thing I see is JM and a couple others complaining about me. Sorry you feel that way about me but i'm not trying to be negative or a bad guy just trying to be reasonable about things.

Funny I don't see any members crying about what I did and they have no reason to do so. I wasn't throwing tantrums or crying or anything like that nor was I flaunting anything. Obviously you have misinterpreted what I said.

Yes....his glass is definitely "half-empty". If you spend your life complaining about everything in life that isn't fair, I can think of a few more topics for you to complain about. Can you send the US and Canadian goverments an email explaining that since you pay taxes it isn't fair that some people don't. While your at it, can you send WalMart an email complaining about people who have over 20 items using the express checkout line.
-
You don't see any members saying you were wrong to email D&D complaining? Really?
"And Yes I do have a membership and did get some of these decks so he didn't ruin it for me. It's just I share the same opinion that it is in really poor taste to notify DandD and then to brag about the fact. Its like he is a kid who wants the hotest sold out toy...not because he actually wants the toy but so he can brag to others who don't have it."
That little bit was from Munro...hmmm...

I was about to say the same thing. Also Vmagic try not to double post, you can edit a post and add to it.
-
Well ok one member. Anyway, the fact is you guys are all calling me a whiny baby and saying that I complain but if you look over the posts it is you guys who are complaining because you didn't get the decks. You are complaining because D&D did the right thing in making sure only members got the decks. And most importantly you are complaining because you've had to cancel your Ebay auctions as a result. I have nothing to complain about, D&D are doing the right thing for members. Personally members like munro should be outraged that they paid a membership and then non-members were buying the deck and he didn't say he didn't share that opinion btw, just that he disliked the fact that I supposedly bragged about contacting D&D.
-
Holy hell, you really are blind or just simply retarded. I have not complained about anything of the such. I actually agreed with what D&D are doing and I did not even try to purchase any, more less buy some and then post them on ebay. I don't agree with that mess either. Posting something for sale that you don't even have is just plain adolescent.
My words were true to their point. That point is that you do not belong in this community. You are the person on the block to be the only one to not decorate for Christmas. You are the person in a long ass line to be the one that throws a fit about having to wait while all the others understand and keep their peace. You are the type who only looks out for themselves and willingly shits on the rest of the community. The only reason why you ratted people out is because you could not get your order in in time. You are a snitch and a child.
However, as I said, D&D is not out of line in their actions. It was intended for members only. If non members tried to play the system and got shot down...well...so be it. I read a post where that was the expected outcome. It is the non members who tried to play the system and then immediately tried to turn a profit who are the fools. But I can't hate on those who just tried to get the decks in general...because I am not a rat and I understand the word "community"
-
personally I have no opinion on whether DandD should or shouldn't have allowed non-members to purchase the cards....its not my policy. I've had my membership for over a year now...so I didn't purchase the membership with the expectation of being able to purchase the deck. To be quite honest, My issue is with the fact that even with a membership I don't think DandD promised you would have a chance to purchase the deck. They said only 333 decks would be for sale and they let each member purchase up to 12 decks (or sets however you want to look at it). I'm assuming there are more than 333 members. My point is why go to DandD and complain that non-members were purchasing the decks when you weren't ever promised one. If you want to complain, contact DandD and ask them why they didn't send you a free deck with your membership. As I said before, to be quite honest it doesn't matter to me if they did or didn't allow non-members to purchase the deck.....I just don't like snitches....especially ones who don't have the common sense not to post bragging about the fact.

I'm glad we could agree on many things and I feel the same way about those Ebayers however I was not, nor am I, a snitch. As the response I got said, they were dealing with that, not that they would which means my message to them meant nothing. However your other points about me are completely wrong. All those things you mentioned are not me. I do decorate for Christmas, I don't throw a fit in line at the store, or anything like that. I try to be a part of this community the best I can. I have posted about several kickstarter decks in the past to bring them to the attention of the community. I try to be a good sport about things, i'm sorry if you feel otherwise. I don't understand why some people have to turn around and blast me for everything I say. And once again I don't recall bragging about anything. And as a member I should have the opportunity to buy the cards before non-members imo.
-
In the spirit of "fairness" and "community", I've got an idea. Since I doubt most of vmagic's youtube subscribers are DandD members and since non-members have not had a chance to purchase the deck yet and DandD haven't given a definite date when they will be available. I think to show his solidarity to the community vmagic should not review the deck on his youtube channel until they become available. After all....It isn't very "FAIR" to review a deck that your non DandD member subsribers can't purchase.

Well it's funny because many of the decks I review as it is most of my subs are unable to get, memberships or not, so I don't think they really care either way. As soon as I do an unboxing they will want a review anyway. And just so you know, I will be sending 10 of the decks (both colors) to 10 of my subs who I also happen to sponsor. I think that is pretty fair. It's not like i'm going to resell them on Ebay for $50 or anything.
-
Fair enough to send 10 of your 12 to others. That is a pretty cool thing to do. So let's end this nonsense, as it has driven very far from topic. From now on, just let people do their thing V. Or...if you feel like you need to be a whistle-blower...don't post about your whistle-blowing. Pretty simple and will keep the inferno off you.
