I think it's a smart move if they do sell on HOPC. Although I didn't get the NOC or Americana deck from them, I could still see HOPC turning out to be a good place to be going to for custom playing cards with small/limited print runs in the future.

(sigh) Secrets don't last as long as they used to...

I was at TBC/HOPC today shooting some test video. Yes, they will carry them. No, they're not shipping yet - pre-orders only for now.

They are NOT a result of the "Submit Your Deck" program.

Anything more, you need to get from Alex or Kevin.

I was told only hours ago to keep this under my hat, and now it's all over the Verve site!

I am really loving HOPC! It was a very nice suprise to see that the Verve deck will be sold through HOPC.
I'll definitely be picking up a few of these.

apparently these already have a price 40 Ringgits or 12 US bux

LeonJL · « **Reply #29 on:** June 21, 2012, 06:05:00 AM »

they're for pre-order as of now. The reason it's already posted on the asiamagicshop is becaus they have the offer if you buy up to 350 MYR worth of product, you'll get an Ultragaff deck.

We're probably better off waiting for the actual release itself on HOPC or the Verve website. I'm not sure if the price has been set but I'd say it's around 6-8 USD per deck.

Agreed with 5000 decks made $12 per deck is quite pricey well for me it is

The following is the pricing for the Verve Playing Cards:
MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price):
1-2 decks = $9.95 per deck
3-5 decks = 5% off
6 - 11 decks = 10% off
12 - 71 decks = 15% off
72 - 143 decks = 20% off

Hey guys! Yes, it's true that HOPC will be offering pre-orders on the the Elan Rouge deck from Verve starting TONIGHT at midnight (Thursday night into Friday morning, eastern time).

This deck is wholly a project of Verve - they designed it, are selling it, etc. HOPC has simply worked out a deal to be the exclusive US distributor of the deck.

There are only 5k decks being printed, and we only have a portion of those for our site.

The decks will be going up on the site for preorder in about 13.5 hours from this post. We expect to have them in-hand and shipping out to customers in mid-to-late July, barring any unexpected delays from USPCC.

We think this is a beautiful deck, and we're proud to be working with Verve on bringing the deck to customers. Remember, it is quite limited so your best bet to get decks is to preorder tonight. The preorder window will only last for 48 hours, or while supplies last.

Thanks for keeping us up to date, Reylek. It sure is very nice to have someone from a big company come here to these forums and keep us up to date! This deck looks beautiful, and I can't wait for it to come out. I have a question which I don't know if you can answer, but, if you only have a portion of the 5k printed, where are the other ones? Without a doubt Erik Mana will have some for himself, but do companies like Asia Magic Shop also have some of the 5k or do they own some in your portion?
Thx!

Reylek · « **Reply #34 on:** June 21, 2012, 03:51:06 PM »

There are 5k total for the world. HOPC is selling the ones we have only to retail customers. If other shops outside the US are also selling them, then that means that they have also arranged for a supply from Verve. Aside from the ones we have "Dibs" on, I really couldn't tell you where any of the others have gone.

If folks would like to buy them from HOPC, I would highly recommend being there at midnight tonight when the page goes live. These are beautiful and we expect them to go fast!

It did a while ago. Well, just have to wait for another hour till the actual pre-order starts. The decks were priced at $9.90 just now with the first discount at a brick with 10% ($9 per deck).

Hey guys. While we admire people's ingenuity and curiosity, be careful when using any links you may find before we officially launch. This goes for any product.

We sometimes make our pages go live for testing very briefly before launch. This is just to make sure everything is working properly.

These windows are very brief, and they may be disabled while you're in the middle of checkout, your order may not go through, etc. We would also appreciate if links not be shared on public forums before the product is actually live. The more people who hit the page while we're still making last-minute tweaks, the more could go wrong in the process.

For the lucky one or 2 people who got in early - if you received an email receipt/confirmation, your order did indeed go through and you are safe, no need to re-order when we launch in about 45 minutes.

For everyone else, the wait will soon be over!

Kevin

Yeah, not sure how many HOPC had in the first place.. Anyone has any info on this? I know they're the exclusive distributor in US for this deck but I don't know how many decks were allocated for them.

I don't know how many they started with, but I do know this: as of now, less than 900 remain! This deck won't last - might not even make it to retail; totally sold out by pre-order.

MSimonart · « **Reply #48 on:** June 22, 2012, 10:57:11 AM »

They do look amazing. I really want to know how these feel. They can't arrive to soon. I love the little holes in the box. Just incredible...

NathanCanadas · « **Reply #49 on:** June 22, 2012, 01:37:32 PM »

The deck looks beautiful. I'm not sure how long the deck will take to be printed and shipped (since this is only pre-order), but it seems worth the wait. I will wait for resellers to buy it though.
