if you haven't seen the original version of holely, you should check out the trailer on sans mind's youtube channel or you can find it on E's web site. It's really visual. and now this self moving hole just brings it to another level. ~~ amazing~

haters will always hate. just as simple as that. I personally don't see how T11 or any other company is wrong for doing color variations. it lower cost (no design cost or additional payroll) to make the the exact same amount of money as creating a new deck. the margin just got so much bigger. why not~ of course this is from a business point of view.

Deck Reviews! / Re: [TXT] [long] Skulkor Deck *** (3/5 stars)
« on: August 28, 2012, 12:09:40 AM »
Extra On an extra note, Skulkor really have to change marketing tactics, referring to us as brothers, considering their lackluster product to be a "revolution", selling ugly clips, brick boxes and rings for a lot extra etc.
i agreed with most of things except for the quote comment.
marketing is really a hit or a miss thing depending on who they want to attract. From I see from forums and facebook pages. It looks like the people who likes it really dig it and for those who hates the marketing..they really hate it.
as for clips and brick boxes, the clip looks like any other JP clip..nothing too special except for color (i am a fan of white). the leather wrap brick box. I have one and i have to say it is amazing. it actually make sense to say it's a brick. not just another paper box.
The other thing I find is that you are putting too much personal emotion into your review. it makes people feel the review is bias. Be more objective if you could. adding "the Skulkor deck that I have bashed on for the past months" at the very top is just no good in my opinion. If you hate it so much why write about it..right?
Everything else is well written tho! good job!

Playing Card Plethora / Re: T11, E, and Skulkor Marketing trend
« on: August 27, 2012, 11:37:36 PM »I just have a feeling that E and T11 are just taking a different approach with their next release/s, an approach similar to that of Skulkor's.
From what I see on this forum, the brotherhood marketing isn't really working out that great. With E and T11's fan base, I am sure that they won't need to start a "cult" or anything since they have their group of loyal buyers (follower..which is already similar in a cult structure). Why would they start something like that? isn't it a risky move for them? from a brand image point of view.

Playing Card Plethora / T11, E, and Skulkor Marketing trend
« on: August 27, 2012, 11:02:41 PM »
I noticed that ever since Skulkor started with the whole brotherhood marketing..E came up with the Sulton Republic and T11 has the Rebel.
Does E and T11 feel that they are getting threaten by SKulkor or they just feel that this "group gathering" marketing is working out pretty good?
what is your opinion?

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

Playing Card Plethora / Re: London 2012 ltd. ed. deck - New HOPC Release
« on: July 30, 2012, 12:36:04 AM »Alex Pandrea has said anything in defense of their ridiculous pricing on my Facebook posts! Silence speaks volumes don't it!
They should reply from customer service aspect but I honestly don't think they even need to explain regarding to their pricing. It's a business thing. If the deck can be sold out with $12 a deck why price it at $10. To a company like TBC/HOPC selling out in 1 day or selling out in 6 days really doesn't mean much. It's the amount of dollars that comes in that matters.

To people who resell cards and buy cards in the after market,
Don't complain about a $12 deck. It is around the price range of a deck in the after market (the new one that just sold out on the main site not like rare one like LTD etc....)
To collectors,
These has more value than any other rare deck that magic company put out. It's a deck of card that celebrates london 2012 event. It's a shame if you are a collector and you don't see that.
To true and wealthy collectors,
this is cheap compare to this london 12 flag playing cards. It's stainless steel cards. the price is up there as well.

buying these "limited and rare" decks is like buying stocks. once people have no faith or interested in the deck..it's worthless.
if this theory is true. if there is no demand even in the after market, T11 will eventually sales it to public one way or another. they probably even have their own fake ebay account selling it in the after market. XD
