Title: Wrath Playing Cards by Shin Lim
Post by: Joker and the Thief on March 22, 2013, 07:37:54 PM
This appears to be Shin Lim's personal deck of playing cards. Not much is known about it, release date is unknown. There is a picture and they are featured in this video, the same ones the Titans are in.

That's really all the information that's available.

The way the name on the tuck has been designed looks tacky to me. But that is no indication of what is contained within the tuck. Guess we'll have to wait. I'm still interested though.

The deck is featured in the video, we see the aces, jokers and back design among other things in the vid.

I guess I'll have to wait to see more later. My browser isn't being nice to me and refuses to play videos. I'll give it a look eventually. Thanks!

EDIT: After being able to see the video on my own, I actually like the design of the cards. Or, at least what I can see of the Ace of Spades and Jokers. The courts look standard but I like what I see so far.

Well, there's no doubt now - it's a Shin Lim deck.  I didn't see any mention of who's printing it.

I absolutely cannot be anymore excited for this deck. The design is amazing, and it's so Shin-Lim-esque. The Jokers are nice and simple, and the gaff cards work perfectly with the trick he performed. Ohhhh, I'm so excited!

I actually already own this deck. It is indeed very sweet in regards to design. The fact that it is a Lim deck makes it even more special.

Wow that was quite the promo video.... I gotta say, very good advertisement. I'm definitely interested and have put this on my "To Buy" list.

Preview gift or purchase?  I'm trying to keep the NDR and 2013 Releases up to date.

Indeed that is where I got them from. However, when I contacted Shin he had no idea that they had been put on the market and was taken back by it. I do not believe he wanted all to have the link. There would be no point of a "coming soon" if he had intentions of that link being used.

I could be wrong though.

That's why I assumed these were not released yet. I wouldn't think "coming soon" referred to the deck being already released. Wonder how he didn't know these decks were on sale though....

Sorry, I wasn't trying to cause an issue by supplying the link.  All I did was use google and found it.   :o

My guess is that they were sold to retailers in advance of a planned release date.  They were probably meant to hold them until that release date but either the lines got crossed or at least this retailer got impatient and decided to jump the gun.  It's not unheard of in retail - I heard tales of people willing to pay a premium to get a copy of a new Harry Potter book before the official release date.

Hey, it's between Shin Lim and magictrickstore.com - you had nothing to do with it.
