Ahhh man just 1 more sleep until they are released

If they do come out at 8am PST, there's a small chance I'll still be awake when they go on sale. The pleasures and pitfalls of working overnight...

"Scool" doesn't seem to be helping much...

Just busting your chops, no offense meant!

I wouldn't sweat this much. They haven't had a deck sell out since S&M v6 - Fantastique, Clip Joint and Vintage Plaid are all still in stock, so unless they've totally rejiggered their deck production numbers, this deck will be around a little while...

Haha my laptop broke and i am using my dads old one and the H key is very sticky

I guess you have a point there, although the fantastiques are out of stock

How ironic is it that the Fantastique deck is no longer available as an individual purchase, but that they still have Fantastique uncut sheets!? Which includes a deck of the cards, no less!

Of that entire list of D&D releases, Fantastique is the oldest - on the market for nearly three months. If it takes them that long to sell out this new deck, you're golden; there should be "a few" left by the time you get home from "scool" and basketball...

Aaron · « **Reply #105 on:** January 23, 2012, 01:52:33 AM »

Well I would guess that the have enough fantastiques to sell until the uncuts run out.

and probably to sell again later as some that they "find in the back room"

But we should probably get this thread back on topic

The good thing is, people can buy this new deck AND the Fulton's Clip Joint all at once! If they want to haha. Get both decks in the series (I'm still thinking that this is the new installment) in one quick swoop

I'm thinking you're right about this being a "Fulton's" series of some kind. Could become their next Smoke & Mirrors.

Well I guess we find out in a couple hours

As for now it's just an educated guess. I like the direction they are going with to be honest. (With this "series" not on a whole). The film/lounge noir type of deal and all. It's pretty cool. I grew up watching those type of movies so it's cool to see it played out in cards in a sense.
It's not just a recoloring of one deck over and over and over again. It's almost a story with each deck being the next chapter. They are connected but each deck is unique

Brad Fulton tweeted, "Celebrated #YearoftheDragon tonight w/ @bucktwins in CHINATOWN LOS ANGELES. Brought back memories of my childhood..."

Im guessing 8pm PST

Evan · « **Reply #110 on:** January 23, 2012, 11:57:51 AM »

Ah and now we have a confirmed release time!
D&D tweeted, "Come celebrate the #YearoftheDragon with us tonight at 8pm PST. http://www.dananddave.com"

Don Boyer · « **Reply #111 on:** January 23, 2012, 05:26:56 PM »

Cool, they'll be available when I start my shift at work tonight! I'm looking forward to seeing them, but my finances will dictate whether I buy them first day or later this week.

Evan · « **Reply #112 on:** January 23, 2012, 08:41:14 PM »

That is a sweet looking AoS!

dmbaggs · « **Reply #113 on:** January 23, 2012, 08:53:09 PM »

That's is pretty sweet looking!! I like how there is such a harsh contrast between color and no color on this. The dragon looks good in black and white. Can't wait to see the rest of it

moonexe · « **Reply #114 on:** January 23, 2012, 09:15:35 PM »

My first impression of that ace was pretty bad, but after trying for a while to figure out what the hell was attractive about it... I think I like it too.

Only two hours before the release... I can't wait to see what the back looks like.

Evan · « **Reply #115 on:** January 23, 2012, 10:05:32 PM »

The clip joints had that awesome pip thing so I'm excited to see if these will have something special

Paul Carpenter · « **Reply #116 on:** January 23, 2012, 10:06:49 PM »

I think that ultimately I'll get a deck of these (and the vintage plaid, sigh) but am not going to go to any extreme measures. I like to study the designs and see how they put the package together, but the last two releases have not had as much draw as some of their other decks.

I'll still bet ya a deck of Tendrils that other than ace and jokers it will be bog standard. They just aren't doing much these days in that regard. Hope they prove me wrong!

$8.88 per deck, I would assume that means 8 is good luck in the Chinese culture. I think I will probably pick up one to add to the collection.

nimblewitted · « **Reply #123 on:** January 23, 2012, 11:03:32 PM »

Look nice, but what's up with the spiked price? 8.88 a deck? Seems a bit steep to me...

dmbaggs · « **Reply #124 on:** January 23, 2012, 11:05:02 PM »

Yeah a little spendy. I'm not sure what I think yet.

Uncut sheet is available too! http://shop.dananddave.com/playing-cards/fultons-chinatown-year-of-the-dragon-playing-cards-uncut-sheet.html
