Ellusionist have posted some info on their facebook page, basically until midnight on saturday you will now recieve 2 LTD Decks instead of 1, pretty sweet for those who haven't bought them already. I'm more tempted than I was now but it's still going to cost too much me thinks. Here's what it says on the website:
''Get TWO (2) Free LTD Decks as a FREE GIFT (http://www.ellusionist.com/freegift/step/) in qualifying orders only until Saturday night at Midnight ET. After that, only 1 free LTD with be given with qualifying orders SO DOUBLE UP NOW!''
-
I noticed this as well. Now I am quite tempted to get my order in and I most likely would if I did not have to pay $30+ for shipping. Who knows, I will probably end up changing my mind numerous times before saturday anyway
-
Awwh man. Now I'm really tempted. I promised my mom I wouldn't ask for her card for a while, so sadly I won't be able to do this. Maybe later in the year they will have this same deal.
Also, this kinda sucks for people like Austin, EZ, and Alex, who shelled out a lot of money just to get one (or in Austin's case 3).
-
I'm freakin' thrilled! I was going to place a second order but kept hesitating! Hesitate no longer!!!
-
Awesome news, was on the fence as well but for two decks, this might just put me over the fence ;)
-
That really pisses off me and all the other people who only got one. I just got my package and now they make this deal? Im seriously angry with them. They shouldn't have done that after people made orders
-
Wait, what? This is ridiculous, I made over $1,000 in purchases from them, and many others made huge orders as well. The way they thank these supporters is by saying "screw you, people that order late get twice the stuff!"

Is this a joke!?!? I just got my package from E in the mail with my LTD deck. Had I known this I would have waited and got two. (shakes head) Im livid now.
-
Yeah I actually placed multiple orders to get three LTD decks. I could have spent $300 and received FOUR, but I payed them over $1,000 and received...three.
I love how someone who doesn't support them very much gets extra swag, while the hardcore collectors and fans get swindled out of swag. (That has an awesome ring to it though) *sigh*
-
hmm wondering if i should place my order now too. i was going to wait until christmas time and see if they have more promotions.
anyone know if they're gonna do christmas treats?
-
does that i mean i get 2? because i ordered around 6pm (australian eastern standard time) please tell me i do!!!

If your order email stated you get one, I think you only get one. Best way to get a definitive answer: contact Jennifer in E customer service.
Guys, this is no different than when they run specials on giving Gold Arcanes for $75 orders. They don't give a heads-up in advance on that either, right? It sucks if you bought earlier, but it's no different than when you buy a car and a month later the price gets slashed to less than what you paid.
If this makes you unhappy, contact Jennifer, as I stated above. E is known for listening to customers.
-
okay, just contacted them, so hopefully i will get a response soon

This is very different than the Gold Arcane offering, since Gold Arcanes are NEVER in the "Free Gift" section for limited amounts of time.
This is what the situation is actually like, if you want to make a Gold Arcane comparison:
Ellusionist: "For a limited time, get a Gold Arcane with every purchase over $75 now through the end of the month! These decks will not be available in any way outside of promotional items after that." Naturally, everyone makes the purchase ASAP, there is no reason to wait.
Three weeks later: "Get TWO Gold Arcanes with every purchase over $75, only for a few days though!"
Do you see how those of us that made a purchase on a limited time promotion feel cheated? How about my Black Friday Vortex deal? I didn't say "only people that pledge this week" because that would cheat my early supporters in a VERY big way. My product would get kicked to the curb very quickly.

I might be thinking what you are thinking. ;D... just shoot me a PM and hopefully we can sort things out.

Acctually I never did make my third purchase yet so now I will be a proud owner of 4 LTD's

i hate you austin!!! unless you give me one
-
I've already slated Ellusionist and their handling of the LTD deck situation in a different thread. I think everyone who only received 1 deck have every right to be pissed.
It does seem that E is doing it's damnedest to piss of all it's customers.

Haha i'm still mad at them though because I could have had 6 LTD deck.. WOW

No 3 orders $500 $150 $150 2+2+2=6
-
Meh. I am a bit discouraged, but what can you do. I'm probably not going to get anymore anyways because of BF recovery.
-
No 3 orders $500 $150 $150 2+2+2=6
Why not $200 + $150 + $150 + $150 +$150 = 10?

Maybe because he wanted to get a deck in a lucite case?
-
So for about $900 you could get a brick of LTD decks, along with all the magic you could ever need. If I had the money, I'd so do this.

Like Austin, I also opted for the high tier awards rather than more LTD. My reasoning was simple: I did not have any 1st Ed. Black Ghosts. Now I have two.
:]
-
Made and order. For me this is an awesome deal for those of you who paid $150 for 1 LTD deck sorry but you win some you lose some. On the bright side you still have a LTD deck
-
I understand that we all win some and we lose some. Life isn't fair. Still upset about it though. That being said, I'm trying to decide if I should take advantage of the this deal and get 2 more LTD decks or buy some V2 crowns so I can get my first Black Crown Deck. Decisions decisions........
-
I understand that we all win some and we lose some. Life isn't fair.
Yeah but in this case it's a person who made a decision to screw you over, not one of life's unfair, unavoidable issues; you SHOULD be pissed off. I am, and I don't really like the LTD deck and have no plans on ever getting any.
-
I placed two orders today: four LTDs and a Black Ghost 1st Ed.
An interesting thought just occurred to me.
With the current special, people will be flocking to E to place orders, people who've been hesitating for whatever reason. But there's also those who'll just want to snatch extra LTD decks.
Which means the aftermarket will be flooded with them in about a week.
Which means the eBay market price will DROP.
Which means those of you who wanted an LTD deck without spending another $150 on E merch now have a golden opportunity coming up in the next few days...
-
i will want to get the 2 LTD deck but i am afraid that i wont have enough money the shipping cost $60
-
Okay so I caved in and placed an order for about $150, shipping was a killer at $58.90 but I'm pretty pleased I didn't put this order in a few days earlier as I was very tempted but ideally I wanted 2 decks and they've managed to suck me in with this offer.
Just a heads up for anyone in the UK looking at buying any Infinity decks but dont want to order from Ellusionist or from the USA because of shipping costs, to get my order up to $150 I ordered 21 x Infinitys so when they get here I'll be listing most of them if not all of them on ebay. Not sure of the price yet but when they get here I'll let you guys know, I'll keep it as cheap as I can, I dont expect to make it all back but some of what I've spent. I've attached a pic of my order so you can see what I got if your at all interested. Along with trying to sell the Infinitys I might have to sell some other decks from my collection if I dont sell many Infinitys, again I'll you know what and when, I paid for UPS Saver 1-3 Biz days shipping but I wont hold my breath for it to come that quick. Order below. p.s I posted this over at UC if you've seen it there.
-

Yeah I agree, shipping is so expensive but it's either this way or ebay and although the price wont be $150 for one you might have to pay $70ish for the one deck and you only get the one deck.
-
As I said on UC, why not use magic10? It always nets me several extra decks I can use to sell and compensate funds.

Yeh, saw your post, I could use MAGIC10 because it stated I used it already but I found another, CARDCACTUS, also gave me 10% off and so I added 2 more infinitys and a Red Bike.

I've placed four orders already - I just sign out as a guest and use magic10 over and over. For some reason, CARDCACTUS didn't work for me (though it doesn't matter if you're buying only decks).

Alex - Have you made another purchase from Ellusionist since they have incorporated the 2 LTD deck give away now?
-
Alex - Have you made another purchase from Ellusionist since they have incorporated the 2 LTD deck give away now?
Yeah, but primarily because I'm selling out of the stuff for the Holiday Sale here quicker than I thought, and I want another two Black Ghost 1st ed. which is what I just got.

I will be selling 2. I know you weren't asking me but I still wanted to say it.
-
austin, how much? for both?

I won't be selling them for awhile till the price goes up.
-
ohh i wont buy them then
-
ohh i wont buy them then
And if I were to sell them before the price goes up. They would be like $100 each
-

I don't think the price will be much higher than that. If I was going to pay more than $100, why not get it from E and get all that other good stuff

Because you can't get it free after christmas. Thats why im waiting. just incase people miss out. I will probably end up selling it for $100 though.
-
i missed out, they screwed up my order and now my mum won't buy it!!
-

That really does suck. I'm sorry
-
I'm probably going to put in another order.
@FIVEofHEARTS - How much do you want, I might sell it to you if the price is right. Message me for more info!
-
Although I figure they will eventually have a 3 deck deal, I will still probably do this today.
-

Your probably right. It wouldn't surprise me if they made the deal even sweeter as it gets closer to the holiday. As much as I wanna get the 2 LTD decks and also the Black Ghost 1st edition, I just dont really need anything at the moment. The only thing if anything would be to stock up on bricks of cards. I dont need any DVDs or tricks at the moment. I have plenty that I am working on. So, I'm still debating what to do before this deal ends tonight at midnight.
-
I cant imagine they'll give 3 away but maybe they'll do a $75 deal for one deck closer to christmas.
-
My Dad said for Christmas he will give me a set amount if money and allow me to make my purchase on anything I want online, since I'm so hard to shop for. If there is enough I want from here, I will probably do the deal.

My suggestion is you take it. I have a strong feeling the deal won't get sweeter. At most, it will drop to $75 for one deck, which is arguably worse if you want two, because it requires you to pay shipping twice. :-X

Your prolly right. Guess I need to decide which bricks of cards i wanna stock up on.
-
Yah, I doubt E will pull a DB, although they might. Still though, if I were I'd take the deal if it's about to end. They might not give you three, but they'll probably lower the price on it for sure.
-
Team up!
I just place mine with a fellow Canadian on here.
We both picked up $75 worth of stuff, and we both get an LTD.
We're splitting all the costs/shipping

-
Done! Just made my $150 order. I mainly ordered magic stuff since my dad specifically told me not to order cards :P He knows me so well.
-
Im getting ready to place my order as well.
-
i ordered mine today because we were stuffing up the last one, cancelled the last one and re ordered. now i have two LTD's!!!!!!
-
Man, just placed my big order from E. Now i got some cards to sell......................I think.
-
What did you guys get?
-
I posted in another forum a huge list of what I picked up - almost exclusively magic training and gaffed gadgets. I'm getting 4 LTD decks and a BG1E. I didn't expect to get so much, but I figured there was so much I wanted from E and it was a little too hard to resist.
-
Here is what I ordered:
1 Brick - Blue Artifice
1 Brick - Green Artifice
1 Brick - White Arcane
1 Brick - Black Arcane
1 Brick - Bicycle Red Poker 808
1 Brick - Bicycle Blue Poker 808
5 Decks - Black Ghost
Free stuff included:
Arcane Porper Clip
2 - LTD Decks
1 - Black Ghost 1 Edition
1 Deck - Blue Masters
Holiday Wrist Band
Also, a shout out to whoever posted the magic10 promo code. Not sure which post I saw it on or who posted it. But THANK YOU! It helped out alot.
-
1 bricks of each decks?
Wow, that's crazy. You are reseller, aren't you?
-
nice order :D almost all of them are 1 brick .. btw if you buy blue artifice 1 brick does they have the 10 or 15 % discount when you buy 12 deck btw no infinty deck ??

Oh yeah, this is a good point. Did you forget the infinity decks?

I have never sold a single deck that I have ever purchased. lol
-
I already have a brick of infinity's :D
-
Wow Knobz - crazy purchase. Say, how much did it charge for shipping, because it must have been killer. What do you do with bricks anyway. A brick in my house will at least last a month.

Shipping was about $21. So not too bad. I just basically stock up. That way I always have some when I need them. For Christmas I am getting a cabinet to store and display my cards in. Once I get it I will post some picks of my collection for you guys.
-
Awesome - $21 shipping is not bad at all, it's pretty good considering your order was around $350. Can't wait to see what the cab looks like.
-
bloody PayPal is making us send in ID just like E same problem

Thanks. Neither can I!
-

Which problem was that?
I know PayPal occasionally has trouble with overseas accounts. I don't know if this is still true, but some years back they had entire countries they refused to accept new accounts from.
-
no, they cancelled the whole order, gonna call them and ask to put it back up, i dont know why though
-
no, they cancelled the whole order, gonna call them and ask to put it back up, i dont know why though
I tried to use paypal to pay for the Blue crown once, but it doesn't accept. So I gotta use credit card number.
-

So, ask why the order was canceled. Perhaps you can prevent the same thing happening in the future.
I tried to use paypal to pay for the Blue crown once, but it doesn't accept. So I gotta use credit card number.
I have a debit card as my primary on PayPal. So whether it draws straight off my checking or off the debit card, the money comes from the same place. In fact, if they use my debit card, I get reward points!
I never really use the points anyway. Earlier this year I traded nearly all of them to send $250 to the Japanese Red Cross after the earthquake/tsunami/nuclear disaster. That's one trifecta that I'd never want to win...
Anyway - we're really getting off topic here. Did anyone ELSE take advantage of the two-day two-fer deal on the LTD decks? What did you get? Would you have placed your order if there was no two-fer being offered?
-
I did order for 2 LTD decks.
I got half brick of infinity, artifice, emerald artifice.
Legacy thread, a pair of arcane, a sample pack decks.
Umm, I don't remember any more.

How did you get a debit card for paypal? Do you know if this can be done in Canada?
-
How did you get a debit card for paypal? Do you know if this can be done in Canada?
I live in BC and have my bank account hooked up to my paypal. You simple just have to follow the steps shown they have on their website. I waited until I was 18 years old to link my account because I have read some bad stories of people getting their accounts frozen because they said they were over 18 and were not. Its, up to you but I did not think it was worth the risk. Now that I have my own credit card, I make 99% of my purchases on that to build my credit rating anyway.
