Has anyone come across these yet?  They were supposed to be out in Dec

I haven't seen them anywhere except the Chinese USPC site bicyclecards.cn and 52cartes - and here, naturally...

Yeah this one fell off the map. Could it just be caught up in the delays printing? Although I would think they would push this one through quickly.


It seems a lot of decks are getting delayed though. Almost as if it's the norm now for custom decks

But this isn't any custom deck - it's one of their own.  It should be more on-time, right?

It still is a custom deck whether or not its from them directly. So I wouldn't be surprised if it got caught up in the traffic like some of the other decks.

The cards can be seen at bicyclecards.ca - USPC's website in China.

I don't think there's a website from USPCC dedicated to China, and ".ca" is Canada whilst it should be ".cn" for China.

I got the address wrong, but it was posted earlier in this thread under another name.


Both of these site direct to the same page:
http://bicyclecards.com.cn/
http://beecards.com.cn/


Which lists the Bicycle Star as part of the regular line-up.  Considering the red star features prominently in all things Chinese government related, it would make sense the Star deck would be in demand there - but they're not listing where to buy it, except for some chain stores likely found in Hong Kong and perhaps the mainland.  Hong Kong would be the only reason I could think of for making the site available in English, unless the site is a very clever forgery - but why bother if the site's not actually selling anything?

It's also worth noting (for those who complain about the effort put into the design or that it doesn't seem like a USPC-type design), that this is one of the original Bicycle back designs, first released in 1893.

No news on USPC's Chinese website.  Have you tried contacting USPC and asking them?

I'm not a huge fan of this deck. It looks alright though.
