What are the 5 more that you have your eye on?
Those look pretty nice.

The ones that I really want are the Stephen Rooks mini decks. They look pretty cool.

nice the alchemist deck look really good

dmbaggs · « **Reply #5 on:** January 13, 2012, 07:23:21 PM »

Those are pretty sweet! I didn't even know that some of those decks came in the miniature size

What are the other 5 you're looking at?

CBJ · « **Reply #6 on:** January 13, 2012, 07:58:30 PM »

The other 5 I'm going to get are...

Wow, where did you find the green minis? Also, how old are those Hoyles?

dmbaggs · « **Reply #8 on:** January 13, 2012, 08:11:51 PM »

Oh very cool! What comes in the holiday and halloween packs? Is it one deck or multiple?

Evan · « **Reply #9 on:** January 13, 2012, 08:16:41 PM »

Mini Tally Hos!?!?? I want those! Do you know where to get them?

D_bag · « **Reply #10 on:** January 13, 2012, 08:22:35 PM »

Are mini decks plastic coated? I have a mini bike deck and it does not have those dimples

moonexe · « **Reply #11 on:** January 13, 2012, 08:43:10 PM »

I have a mini ghost deck and it's made in china and feels horrible in the hands... Can't say about the rest, though.

Where did u get those from?

Aaron · « **Reply #13 on:** January 13, 2012, 09:45:17 PM »

Those all look really nice. Are they all made in China? because I have a Ghost Mini and a Bicycle Mini and they both handle bad and were made in china. I think an uncut sheet of a mini deck would be pretty sweet.

Sweet, but very small...

The mini Tally Ho decks are sold in Japan - they're VERY hard to get here, trust me, I've been trying. In Japan they're not exactly cheap, either. Lalita quoted me a price of something like US$13 a deck.

That's a sweet mini collection. The best use for minis is spelled out in the sheets the E mini decks come with; tricks that involve a card (or a deck) "shrinking" in the magician's hand, that sort of thing.

The Rooks decks are pretty cool - I have them in my briefcase. They probably handle better than my full-sized Rooks decks right about now! I got my set from eBay, from an Asian seller.

Here it is. The link for a mini tally ho deck.
http://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/mgm-gaming-fukuoka/95.html

In my opinion this is expensive. I don't own any of them.
But everything here in Japan is expensive in general.
Even the normal bicycle is around $8. T-T

And this is the English translation of the same page!

I get a kick over how "Tally Ho" translates as "Tariho"! Japan has many things, but an "L" sound in the native tongue isn't one of them!

phantom1412 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 14, 2012, 05:36:12 AM »

Well, Japanese people mostly couldn't distinguish the difference between "R" and "L".

F**k, I'm going to hell because of laughing at sabacc's comment then liata's comment!!

Those mini Tally-Hos look awesome! I'll definitely be looking to get them now.

CBJ · « **Reply #20 on:** January 14, 2012, 10:39:47 AM »

The Tally-Ho's are easy to find.

Merz has them at his store.

I HATE promoting him, but he has both decks for less than $6USD together.

All the other questions...

"Wow, where did you find the green minis? Also, how old are those Hoyles?"

Mini greens: http://hobisulap.com/?menu=produk&task=preview&id=919&hal2=1&kategori=PRM&textsearch=&sorting_harga=#detail

I'm not sure about the age of the Hoyle's in my collection, but the other ones are current stock at USPCC.

"Oh very cool! What comes in the holiday and halloween packs? Is it one deck or multiple?"

Not really sure what comes in the holiday packs, but I do know it's multiple decks.

_____________________________________________________________________

"Are mini decks plastic coated?"

I'm pretty sure they are. They do not handle very well, and most of them say they are made in China.

"Where did u get those from?"

Mostly Ebay. On occasion from a reseller

I may pick up the green minis! Does it say the price anywhere on the site?

I know - I took Japanese for a semester, practice a Japanese martial art and used to watch a lot of anime.

No you're not! I meant my comment in complete affection for Nihongo and all things Japanese.

I know... I've been dreading the day I'd be ordering from him... He also has Hoyle decks in some of the most atrocious color combinations I've ever seen on a deck - it looks like Walt Disney puked on them.

I think I'll have to start collecting min decks too, love them! It'd be cool to see pics of your mini decks paired with the actual sized decks
