Quite a few buck that you pay for the deck went to shipping(registered airmail from Hong Kong), so you are not actually paying that much for the deck alone. Unfortunately, it's the international shipping that makes this deck appear to be so expensive(nothing much we could do about this, it's the same for Asians trying to buy exclusive decks from US, we pay alot for shipping too)

while I certainly understand the cost of shipping. the problem remains that since each item includes shipping costs, there are no volume discounts. for example, if I order 2 bricks of legends and an extra coterie deck, the coterie deck still costs 13 bucks so I would be charged the regular shipping price for that deck even though it most likely does not increase the shipping cost at all when ordered with 2 bricks of cards.

I understand I can order those decks together in a package but I was merely using that order as an example.

First of all, thank you guys for the support and I believe you guys will be very happy with your purchase, this is no doubt one of the best deals in year 2013 for playing cards community.

We really trying to offer the best we could with this pre-order, 3 decks Legends is $25 USD shipping included, 3 Legends + 1 Coterie Bee is $34 USD shipping included, which means we charge $9USD for a deck of Coterie Bee(and its shipping), so you see that we are clearly not charging $13USD a deck for Coterie Bee.

And yes, $25USD a pair of Black and White New Fan Back offer is still applicable for order amount over $100USD.

Cheers,

I understand the bundle costs. but my point is that if you want to pick up and extra single deck or two, the cost of the deck is 13 even though it wouldn't actually increase the shipping costs when purchasing 12 or 24 other decks. ultimately it's not a huge deal cuz its at most 4-10 dollars extra but it's something to consider as more products are added to the site.

I'm not eggman but I'm not too happy about my vortex purchase either.

quantities and dvds updated after last week's sales.

updated with new decks and reduced prices.

quantities updated, prices lowered and added david blaine variety box #1.

any trades on the garden set?

updated with lowered prices and some mixed bricks.

I guess it depends what you are looking for. In the new promotion you can get 3, 4 bricks of cards and a gold crown free, while in the old one you got 4 decks and the gold crown. Which is better? You can resell those cards you bought in the new promotion for 100$ minimum, and with those 100$, you can easily buy the 3 crown decks and the black crown. And you still have your free gold crown. But since the decks on HOPC available for this sale are all sold out, you can resell them for maybe 150$, buy the 3 crown v1s and the black crown, get your free gold crown, and still have 100$ left to yourself. Now, you tell me which is better.

what are you talking about? In the first promo you buy 100 dollar worth of stuff and you get the box set for FREE. It's a bonus. You don't pay for it. In the new promo you only get a gold crown deck for free.

just to reiterate...since you seem confused, in both instances you can buy whatever you want for 100 dollars and receive a gift. In the first promo the gift is the box set. In the new promo you only get the gold crown deck. How can you even say the new promo is better when your gift is 4 less decks?

whether you can sell the stuff that you spent 100 on in the new promo is a moot point cuz you can do the same in the old promo. You can sell off whatever you spent 100 dollars on at the blue crown and keep the collectors set. Essentially they're both the same promo except the first promo gives you 4 additional decks. I really don't see how this new promo is better than the old one when you get less from it.

perhaps im still new to here, but why Don need to explain everything related to HOPC/BC stuff? Is he affiliate with them or what?

Let's not start another conflict about this, especially since you're a newcomer. Guys, use your LOGICAL thinking skills!
In the box you've got 1 of each color of crown decks (I'm not sure if they're v1 or v2). Let's say they're v1 since they're more valuable. Worth 15$ each. Plus a 20$ Black crown. That 65$ worth of items. So you technically pay at least 35$ dollars for your Gold Crown. And I'm being very generous about the prices. With 10$ v1s and a 15$ black crown, you're paying 55$ for the gold crown. Now, I don't know any of the Blue Crown employees, but you really have to be blind to not see the advantage of their new deal. Now, if you choose not to see it, then that's too bad for you. End of discussion.
PS: that ebay seller, jujuforce, is a member of these forums. He's from France, he had a site called cartes magie or something like that. Does that strike any bells?

from the math you just did, the old deal is better. You're getting the gold crown deck for 35-55 bucks whereas with the new deal you're getting it for 100...

i got my order in a few minutes after 8 and the gold crown deck shows up as quantity 1 even though i purchase 300 dollars worth of stuff. i guess they just forgot to tier the promo at first but i asked them and they said that happened on a few orders so if anyone else is experiencing that, dont worry cuz they said they're going to double check every order for that promo before shipping it out.

making a shipping run this weekend, anyone else interested please pm me. thanks.
