Hey guys,
Thanks for the advice.
I've been to the two 188 stores and checked out their inventory. No blue bloods unfortunately . But so far I've picked up ramblers (39 HKD) and a theory 11 rebels (98HKD) deck but I'll be back for more haha... I'll check out Mongkok as well.
I'm in the process of selecting decks to add to my collection haha.
The 1F store did have a white LTD for sale at 980 HKD, bout  120 USD.
I did ask about limited decks but they couldn't help me too much. Apart from white ltd I didn't see any other rare decks around.
Looks like my bank account shall take a beating regardless.
Can I ask where I'd go looking for a pack or two of fake nuggets?

Not until I get those turquoise Bees. I don't think they were opened.

Their collection isn't as vast as the other ones mentioned here. The only intriguing decks I saw were Altruism (not sure which version), Animal Kingdom and Phoenix Apocalypse.


I'm not sure if fake Nuggets count as intriguing.

Hahaha, no worries; I'm thankful for the info you've already provided.
I'm sure they'll be plenty of variety to satisfy my addiction. ($13 ogma decks :|... I'm up for a few of those I like that deck)
Fake nuggets eh? Small part of me does wonder how they handle.

For that shop in Mongkok, I looked at the website.  Kinda strange - all but two of the decks have price tags of zero HK dollars.  Either they're insanely cheap, or out of stock!  The two decks they did have, Ogma by Skulkor and Curator by HOPC, were marked at HK$64.  That's about AU$8.80.  Pretty good price - it's just a tiny bit less in US$, and normally HOPC sells Curators for $7.95, while the Ogma deck is a sold-out collectible.

If I had to guess, assuming those numbers are typical, you'll get a decent deal.

That sounds much better than Australia.
Last time I looked in a physical store in Australia (just last week) A Pluma deck was $13 and a standard rider back bicycle was on sale for $7 XD.
So if I can get custom cards for less than a deck of standard bikes.... I'll be singing ahahaha.

@Verloren
DUDE, thanks for that post. When I posted this topic I was hoping for a store name and maybe some hazy directions. Your directions and even an approximate LIST of some decks far exceed my expectations. Thanks man .
Also... if the 188 store has Blue bloods... F%&$ me and my bank account I'm getting them XD (I'm probably one of the many that has all of uusi but the original blue bloods).

Hey guys,
Hoping one/some of you may be able to give me some advice.
I'll be going to Hong Kong in a week's time and was wondering if you guys know any physical stores I can walk in to in Hong Kong and pick up some more decks to add to my collection.
I found one youtube video from 2010 that pointed one store I plan to try finding, but I'd appreciate if any of you guys could point me in more right directions, thanks!

I also love the ghosts, either colour haha .

Wow, thanks for that in depth answer Don.
Damn now I wish I had picked up the legends Dan was selling a few days ago haha XD. Oh well, some other time maybe.

As for the new deck order thing; I'm impressed by the quoting of the mathematician :|.
The Aladdin 1001 smooth finishes I have come in some completely weird order - it's not ace through king or king through ace. From what I can tell it's SOME kind of stack and I assume it's meant for a particular magic trick I just don't know what that trick is.
The Aladdins I'm referring to are the ones from The Blue Crown, I'm not sure if you were referring to a different set of aladdins when you were talking about the handling earlier.

Hey guys,
Not sure if there's already a discussion topic on this so I'm creating this one.
For you card flourishers out there, are there specific decks that you use/like/find better for specific flourishes?

I'll give you guys the example that set this topic off:
I've recently been trying the ninja flip (a one handed top card reveal) with some of my newer decks (eg Ltd Blue and a bicycle standard rider back) and was finding it hardish. By that I mean more than half the time the top card flew away instead of just flipping over XD. I cracked open an old cancelled aristocrat casino finish deck of cards I picked up in vegas in the early 2000's and tried a few things with that deck.
I found it fanned like s&%* but I could do the ninja flip so much more easily and more consistently than with the newer, smoother decks.

Anyone else have anecdotes like this?

Hey buddy, sorry to hear you're leaving the hobby. Best of luck in Med school!

I'm located in Australia too, AUSPOST isnt such a bitch interstate =p I'd love to pick up some of your single decks if possible.

Send me a pm (:

Auspost is still expensive interstate compared to America haha, especially for anything more than a brick.
I emailed him and Joel isn't interested in selling single decks; I think he wants an easy offload in one go sort of deal - I suggested he may have an easier time finding buyers for single decks though.

Lol.
I like the minimalist look to this deck and I especially like the contrasting areas of solid and striped.
But I'll be cautious backing this one, like you guys have pointed out, the homework doesn't seem to have been done particularly well here.

Monarchs easy easy easy win.

Funny you were the one to post after me; I was almost going to say in my above post.
Monarchs hands down beat most decks I can think of - the only thing at the moment that I think may give them a run for their money are the fed 52 decks but I have no idea how the fed 52s handle, can't wait for the part 2 to arrive down under

Both cool decks.
But Monarchs win hands down for me. I prefer both their handling and their design.
Also, Monarchs were in a movie, can the artifice claim that?

Easy solution to the issue that just might work:

• Find out what Jackson wants in exchange for what you want.
• Find a US retailer who's selling it.
• Order and pay for it, have it shipped straight to Jackson.
• He sends you what you want.

Of course, you should wait until you've met the minimum standard before posting - at your rate, it won't be long.

... ... ... ... ... ...
O.M.G.
I can't believe I didn't think of that before -.- .
Either you're a genius; I'm an idiot.... or most likely, both -.- XD.
Although with the KWP online store open now I can't see why Jackson would accept your genius plan except out of sheer generosity.

Hahaha at my rate... it'll be... 6 more days, the post number will be irrelevant, the time limit is the one.

Ah, there's no need to be concerned.  The Secret Service agents that monitor this board have already contacted the FBI, who have dispatched agents to the location of your IP address.  They'd like to take you into custody - for your own protection, mind you - and ask you a few questions... 

Haha I think there'd be significantly more bureaucratic red tape, what with me being in Australia and all.
Think the FBI would at least have to go through ASIO (our equivalent of your CIA I guess) or the AFP (... I think this would be our closest equivalent to your FBI?) and/or through the local police department.
Furries aren't actually illegal here as far as I know... I remember once going to a picnic in the park and there was a large gathering of furries who also happened to be in the same park having a BBQ - they were very open about it... we were mostly young, naive and , after that day, scarred..... Haven't been back to that park for anything since XD
