I'm going to be on a plane, does anyone want to grab me some and sell them?

Alex, since you're coming to visit my area anyway, I'll try to pick them up for you. They'll likely arrive before you do, and even if they don't, I have my first brick (plus the bonus deck - thanks, Alex Pandrea!) which I could hand over instead of the one I'll try getting Sunday. That's TRY, as in I hope I'll not get shut out. Say the word and I'll go for it.

Go for it, I can pay you in cash in NYC to avoid PayPal fees as well.

I just got them this morning. They are great.
The box is stunning.
And I never knew the cards has metallic ink too.

Sounds like a plan - done. I'll give you a heads-up if I pull it off. If I don't, I could probably dig a little deeper into my personal stock and sell you more than we originally dealt for.

just curious was there a special part of their site that allowed you to buy these, because i went to the playing cards part of their site, on the day they were released, and all i saw was the v2 versions of blue red and green crown. and when those 3 colors sold out in version 1 they still had their picture up saying sold out. i don't see anything like that for the black crown. please help, really don't want to miss out on this this time.

thanks

They're going to appear in the normal playing cards section of the site. When they were first offered, they appeared there, but with the server crash issues, it looks like TBC opted to simply remove the posting instead of leaving a "sold out" sign up not longer after the initial "sell-out" took place. If you'll look, you'll see that the White Arrcos are also still listed, though shown as sold out, while they've been gone for several days now. There was no server crash issues on that sale, and the Arrcos are still available from NYMP at arrcocards.com

It's in 8 hours guys

I marked my wrist with a sharpie to be sure not to forget $:-\$ (On a spot usually covered by my watch that is.)

Hey, you could DRAW a watch on your wrist. You'll have the correct time twice a day - or just once if you use a 24-hour clock...

I'm looking forward to it for a second reason - it gives me an excuse to spend some time awake this morning with my girlfriend's two sons.

moonexe · « **Reply #31 on:** December 26, 2011, 06:17:22 AM »

You know, twice in a day is actually a good score!

I missed it the first time so I'm hoping to pick up at least three decks today.

Lushbob · « **Reply #32 on:** December 26, 2011, 12:28:15 PM »

Update, guys!
The Black Crowns will be sold by the brick only. You will not be able to buy single decks.
This probably means that I won't get any; I doubt I'll be allowed to spend enough money to buy a whole brick.
Also, the release is in just half an hour! Anyone hoping to pick up a brick (or more), I hope you'll be ready and waiting!

Same crap D&D did with the V6s.. total BS

"Oh, we just happen to have more decks.. so many that you have to buy BRICKS of them!"

I stand by my previous statement:: "The Blue Crown Company is no friend to the card collector."

moonexe · « **Reply #35 on:** December 26, 2011, 12:34:34 PM »

Okay, nevermind, I'm not getting them anymore. Off to Theory11 for a DVD or two. $:-\$
Seriously, only by the brick? Not everyone can buy bricks of everything...

Fallen_Angel_of_Luck · « **Reply #36 on:** December 26, 2011, 12:34:43 PM »

depends on the price i may or may not pick one up. i can't believe im staying up to 3am for this :|

and what half an hour u mean 1.5 hours? or they changed to earlier release?

moonexe · « **Reply #37 on:** December 26, 2011, 12:37:43 PM »

Nope, 1PM EST is in 20 minutes from now. It's my time zone, so you can take my word for it.

No, half an hour as in 0.5 hours. In other words, 30 minutes.
Although, as Moon.exe said, it's in 20 minutes now.

This is severely disappointing, I missed the first release and was really excited for this one because I absolutely love the black crowns as well as the box design but I can't afford a whole brick right now

. I guess I might just pick up a couple of the new Theory 11 decks.

KPopFever605 · « **Reply #41 on:** December 26, 2011, 12:46:15 PM »

The release is in about 15 minutes from now, selling the Black Crowns by the brick can be a pain on both the buyers and on shipping. Ah! If the Black Crowns are going to be sold by the brick, are the White Arrcos going to be. I'll check out the website, they did mention discounts on their regular Crown decks.

moonexe · « **Reply #42 on:** December 26, 2011, 12:47:01 PM »

Hmm I just freed up some more spade on my credit card, so I might be able to get a brick if that's how it goes. If I do, I'll probably resell most of it.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #43 on:** December 26, 2011, 12:47:37 PM »

Do I have to be the one to say it?

Have you considered grouping up with your fellow Discoursers to buy a whole brick together and SPLIT it?

danktrees · « **Reply #44 on:** December 26, 2011, 12:48:22 PM »

where did u guys get that info? i havent seen anywhere that said it's by brick. they havent said anything on the forums or on facebook regarding buying by brick.

I would have suggested this, but if I did that, I'd have to find another UK user. I wouldn't want to impose international shipping on anyone when they don't need it.

Easier said than done when there's only 10 minutes until the release.

it's from their email. consider adding your email to their mailing list and you'll see it too!

Lushbob · « **Reply #48 on:** December 26, 2011, 12:52:07 PM »

Oh, I forgot to say. White Arrcos will be by the brick only aswell.
And, it seems, the other coloured Crown decks. Although, a mixed brick can be purchased with 4 each of the Red, Green and Blue decks.

There is at least one other UK user on here I know of - you AREN'T the only one.
