I'm a little slow to the party on this one, but MSM's posted on their Facebook page the images you see below.

The original, black Moth/Myth deck was absolutely awesome, as was the Watcher, and this will almost certainly be a difficult deck to find in a big, fat hurry.

A Must have for me as I have the other two and I agree with you on their awesomeness!

His facebook indicated he has samples in, I am stoked this is one of my favorite decks.

Anybody heard how he plans to release these? HOPC or his own webpage again?

Misdirection's Mystery has never had a release with HOPC. I have no idea how these will get into the hands of buyers since their website is (last time I looked) largely in Chinese.

Do you know something about the deck that I don't? Do tell...

Chagrin... my brain skipped a rail on me. I was thinking of when Mana went from releasing himself to releasing Verve thru HOPC. So no word yet, when or what MSM is going to do with this release.

Here is hoping for someone local that can give us an update.

Well, if you try what I just did (check out their Facebook page) you'll learn that:

1) they're in their "final countdown", presumably to the release of the deck

2) it looks like there will be a "black and white collection" set - I suspect they've made a new version of the black deck, but mine's at home and I'd have to see it to be sure. Either way, that should be one very popular item to buy!

Don Boyer · « **Reply #6 on:** October 28, 2012, 05:59:13 AM »

I received word from DC that this deck would release in early November and that American distributors as well as Asian ones are being arranged. Hooray, no expensive shipping (except for Europe)...

Ccould you provide a link to their homepage/facebook thanks? I tried googling MSM playing cards facebook and found one with 4 likes: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Misdirections-Mystery/150983641587589 but it doesn't look like the right one.

Thanks

Shade · « **Reply #8 on:** November 02, 2012, 01:12:17 AM »

That looks like the link, should have Moth White Cover banner and MSM - Misdirection's Mystery profile picture.

White Edition Release Date:
2012.11.11

(info from Misdirection's Mystery Facebook page)

For overseas customer, arrangement still being made with international agent/distributor, payment would probably be PayPal. Please post how many you are planning to purchase and where from, MSM can then estimate the amount of decks in demand and shipping methods.
(The above information is from one of the comment MSM has made under the 2012.11.11 Moth announcement.)

Got a message in my inbox this morning from my account on Misdirection's Mystery. The White Moth Myth is now available for order! I'll post the link here. http://www.popost.com.tw/msm/edm/moth_w_od/od.html
Note: it's all in Traditional Mandarin Chinese, and I can only read some simplified. Not even sure if they posted the cost or allow shipping outside Taiwan.

Frost · « **Reply #13 on:** November 10, 2012, 04:36:50 PM »

how can i get them then ?

Bro, you have to get us some help translating this! Google Translate is a fail.

Traditional Characters are murder, but I'll try to get some help from my Chinese professor on Monday.
I can tell you that a single deck is probably 100 yuan, which is about 16 bucks. Not 100% sure though.

thecardcollectors · « **Reply #16 on:** November 10, 2012, 08:41:57 PM »

The decks are going for 300yuan each, but members of the forum can get it at a special price of 210yuan. There are only 100 decks up for sale through that channel.

DC · « **Reply #17 on:** November 10, 2012, 10:40:10 PM »

The link posted is a "registration form" for the White Moth/Myth Deck. Max 5 decks per person.
It is JUST a "Registration Form", this DOES NOT mean you will be assigned to the number of decks. You will be assessed (based on what, I do not know). RRP New Taiwan dollar$300/deck, during pre-order member price New Taiwan dollar$210/deck.

From their FB page, few days earlier, "Misdirection's Mystery 錯引的奧妙國外購買方式要另外的窗口服務，代理商處理方式可能由paypal發送訂單給買家，（郵資外加）完成交易程序後，方能出貨！"
MSM said for overseas customers, a different window will be provided, payment through the third party agent would/should be using PayPal, shipping is extra.

I "think" if you like, you can try "register" using the link above and see if any deck will be assigned to you (I have filled out a form an hour ago, but have not get any reply from them.)
Fields on the form are translated as follows:
姓名 * (務必填寫收件人全名) FULL NAME
主要信箱 * (請務必填寫有效信箱,方能通知獲得名額與購買方式) MAIN EMAIL ADDRESS (You will be notified on how many decks you are assigned and how to purchase through email)
備用信箱 BACKUP EMAIL
您在MSM裡的會員帳號 MSM FORUM USER ID
手機 * 可以連絡到本人號碼為家,以方便貨運連絡 MOBILE NUMBER (FOR DELIVERY CONTACT)
市話可以連絡到本人為佳,以方便貨運連絡 I don't know what this is! (For delivery contact)
寄送地址 * (台灣地區地址為主) SHIPPING ADDRESS (MAINLY FOR ADDRESS IN TAIWAN)
數量 * (每人限購最多5副) NUMBER OF DECKS (MAX 5 PER PERSON)
Check box 1 = 1 Deck. 2 = 2 decks. 3 = 3 decks, 4 = 4 decks, 5 = 5 decks, 6 = others (Please specify under the "NOTE" field)
備註如有任何問題或建議請留言 NOTE (Any Questions, etc)
* Required Fields

I hope this help!

That's some very useful information, Doris, thanks. My only remaining question would be "What if you don't have an MSM Forum User ID?" Seeing as how their forum is in Chinese, it would exclude a lot of people here.

At least we know that MSM will be making some effort to accommodate the market outside of Taiwan. I remember what a dent their first two decks put into my wallet when I had to buy them on eBay.

DC · « **Reply #19 on:** November 11, 2012, 01:34:27 AM »

The "您在MSM裡的會員帳號" (YOUR MSM USER ID) field of the "Registration Form" does not have an asterisk next to it. So the field in not compulsory. (To my interpretation). Although I have registered with their forum, I am restricted to view a lot of posts on their forum, I was unable to read/view 99% of their posts including the white version release info and discussion post! I have posted the same question regarding the overseas release on their FB page many times, they just say there will be another channel for the release for overseas customer. (Would the "other channel" implies the "ebayer", I don't know! Hope not! Don't want any price mark up...)

If I found out more regarding the release of this deck, I will let you know.

I am not sure if all overseas customers should register on their form, but I think if we all do, this might show them how many overseas customers are interested in their deck and how many deck in total (they can estimate) for the overseas market. I am not sure if this action would make them hate us more, because the form is meant for their Taiwanese customers. But I have filled in one anyway!

Don Boyer · « **Reply #20 on:** November 11, 2012, 01:47:36 AM »

I don't think they'd hate us, though it would clutter up their database a bit...

I have no doubt in my mind whatsoever that they have a very clear idea that there's a strong demand for their decks outside of Taiwan. They need look no further than eBay to confirm this. Right now, the black deck can be had for $40 and the Watcher with gaffs is $25.

I get the feeling that MSM is making plans to partner with a retailer to sell for them outside of Taiwan, possibly even several retailers in different regions of the world.
