who got the Tungstene deck from dan and dave?
-
Not me. I'm kind of tired of their stuff. You can't release a new deck every few weeks, that's a slap in the face to your consumers. This is coming from the guy with over a brick of IAOCP decks.
Still, I can't wait to their good products, like the Variety Boxes. I sincerely hope they release a "Vintage Variety Box" for purchase one day, like the one being given away in their holiday contest.
-
I have to say if you strip all the titles with Ricky Smith and stuff the IAOCP has got to be one of the ugliest decks to date. Before I saw the HD pictures I was looking at the trailer and I thought those dots were little shells. Then I saw the HD pictures.
-
i didnt, and alex are you going to sell any of those decks, because i would like two
-
can you post the HD pictures pleasde
-
I ordered only two during the "accidental" sale on Sunday. But my original Fulton's Clip Joint order appears to be in purgatory or something. I complained to Syd, he combined the orders and refunded some shipping charges, but I still haven't received a shipping confirmation. I'm starting to wonder why I bought from them instead of from all the third-party retailers that already have them in stock and ready to ship now.
I am not happy with D&D these days.
-
I got 2 too. And I got shipping confirmation just today.
@goodsabacc I think yours should be tomorrow.

I genuinely like them, not for being a well-designed deck, but for being fun, wacky, and the boxes are neat.
-
i got 2 of them too but i sorta regret it now sigh*

I sure hope so - I've waited long enough for the initial order I placed with D&D on Black Friday, over two and a half weeks ago. The Fulton's decks have been out now for nine days and I haven't heard boo other than what I asked Syd about. Those guys really need to be on the ball with email updates if they're going to sell over the Internet...

page is up again but its out of stock
-
The page for the Tungestene has been on the site for a little while but been out of stock. They leaked the release... twice.
First it was around $30 and second it was $20.
Theres no way I would buy a deck for that much. I'm hoping the real release is much cheaper

Yeah, I hope it's cheaper in the real release, otherwise there's no chance I'll get one.
-
i did not get any i think it was too expensive
-
I have 9 that I got from my variety boxes. They dont seem like anything special other than the face cards and the pips which I honestly think are kinda cool. Handling wise it's just another deck, not bad but not great. The value definitely seems to lie in the design (and possibly the supply?)
-
The majority of decks are high in value due to design/rarity, very little is due to the awesome handling.
-
Got my shipping confirmation today. Should see it by the weekend.
-
I got a deck. It was included in the variety box v4 that I got. Justin (a friend of mine) also got the box and opened his tungstene, he let me borrow it for a couple of days for pictures (AND for a test. ;D ). He got the deck back. Over 2 weeks ago, I was gonna write a review over at UC but when I was almost finished, my laptop crashed (I was pissed to death). I still wanna do the review so I'm gonna open my deck. Will post here and in UC when the review is up, a video review.

Jerry's Nugget decks are a huge exception. Yes, they're rare, but they're butt-ugly. Their handling is what got them popular in the first place, before they became scarce.

That's completely opinion. I think the Jerry's Nugget deck looks awesome! It's got a very classic look to it. The handling is just a plus

I totally agree. I love the Jerry's Nuggets design. Although, maybe that's just because I associate it with a Jerry's Nugget deck. But either way, I think it's a really nice, simple design.

If the J-Nuggs Fever epidemic never took place and T11 or E released a deck like that, people would slam it. It really isn't an attractive deck back - a cartoonish image of the oil derrick sign from in front of the casino and a plain, solid-color background. Classic is Bicycle, Tally-Ho, Hoyle Shellbacks - the Jerry's deck backs are a design only a designer's mother could love. Even the magicians who started using it early on acknowledge that they're not attractive - they were drawn to them because they were cheap and they handled very well. (Remember, this was back when the gift shop was still selling them for fifty cents a pack...) The faces are one thing, but the backs - they wouldn't win any artistic or design awards.
BTW: I got my Fulton's and my Tungstene. Very pleased with the handling on the Tungstene. They aren't Magic Finish or any such thing, but they have a good firm feel and they fan OK. Quality-wise, I'd put them somewhere between Bikes and Bees.

so do you recommed the tungstene deck ??why but i like the jerry nugget back design but not the nicest back design i seen though

Well you're entitled to your opinion, but I personally am a fan of the backs. I still would be even without the popularity. And I do know the history of the cards and how they came to be so popular.

Tungstene is a cool deck if you really want to whip out something utterly unique in design. Beautiful? Eh, maybe to some - I think they're OK. Unique? With the volume turned to 11, they're unique! You may find yourself spending hours on a translation site and using a QR code reader just to know everything that's printed on them.
-
ok thanks .. i maybe will pick up some

But isn't that what makes the deck exciting? Every time you play with them You find out something new about the deck.

No arguments here. They're not the most beautiful cards, but they're among the most interesting.
