Got mine love the animation on the back.

Did HOPC win me back with this one?  I'm unsure as of yet, but I think I like this one... IDK... Still on the fence...

Who is excited about the deck Vs. Who passed on the deck? Thanks, J.

I passed temporarily but am planning on buying it later, from resellers if it sells out. I heard from many different people that the deck looks much nicer in person than in real life, and from close-ups, I can see all the detail in the court cards and back design, and it looks very nice.

I ordered a couple of these. I really like the look of them and the flip book design is awesome!

6 Mechanic Decks are now on the way to me 
I really would have gone for a brick of those but sooo many new decks are being released that i want as well.

I ordered four, myself.  I love the design.

I ordered 6 to get the 10% discount.. Will have to see how the actual decks feel for themselves first. For now, I do like the flip-book animation.. I wonder how they'll look after they've been shuffled up. After that, I might be getting a tool kit just for the card clip and the coins. The coins look like they may be suited for some coin magic.

I ordered this deck and love the animation of the back of the cards, but if you look at the post by CBJ with the back card animation, you will see that mechanically those gears wouldn't work.
What turns the center gear? the main gears are going in opposite directions to make the outer chain move.   Still really like the deck ,but I thought that was interesting in a mechanical way of things.

The gear looks workable to me.

The gear looks workable to me.

We don't know exactly what's going on underneath the center gear, but because the two gears above and below it are spinning in the same direction, we assume they aren't meshed. The only way they can spin the same direction is if there's a gear of some kind in between them. However, the distance between the centers of the upper and lower gears is almost the same as their diameter, meaning they're nearly meshed and there's almost no room for an intermediate gear.

The teeth on the center gear itself aren't meshed with anything so it would have to be connected below in order to turn, but that might interfere with the two other gears in the way I mentioned. If there were more room between the gears it would be easier to assume there's something below the center.

TL;DR: It's not a practical design. Try not to think about it too hard.

I can't believe this, but I hat bought the uncut! I promised myself to never buy uncuts, because I don't want that "Gotta' catch 'em all" mentality like I have with standard decks (and for that matter Pokémon). I'm not sure if it's due to the low price, the rarity, or the freaking awesome design, but I just NEEDED to get this, and I'm glad I did. This is going to be one great wall decoration.

The low price? How is this price any lower than other uncut sheet we've seen. Commonly all uncut sheets go for around $30, so this uncut sheet, to me anyway, wouldn't be considered "cheap."

Yeah, I know. Why I thought the "IAOCP" uncut was too expensive, and I feel this is cheap is something that I cat figure out. I think since the Vaudeville uncut sold for $52 (I think), and there were more of them, so I figured that this would be $50+.
