Bicycle Actuators Black edition and White edition

[Don Boyer]

so i was wondering, is there any way to get the custom box without purchasing an entire brick of actuators?

lancetmiller.com will have them for sale for $9.95 each on the release date or thereabouts.

It was answered already above your post that

Just to clarify.


The actual decks will be on sale on his site.

You have to purchase TWELVE decks to get a custom brick box.

I'm sorry are you correcting me? Because you must purchase a brick of cards to get the custom brick box, which is what the question asks.

Just Pledges for one of each colour so excited for this deck looks awesome

I just quote what  Good@Sabacc said.
Didn't mean to offend you. Sorry.

[john]

Oh you didn't offend me by any means, I just wanted to be clear about 1 correct answer.

I have to issue a whoops here - I think I got my information wrong.  Sorry, everyone.

[phantom1412]

So the actual answer is the brick box won't be sold...

Correct.  You WILL NOT be able to purchase the brick boxes by themselves.

I wish I had the extra cash to buy a brick of each...

Maybe it's just because I don't collect decks in brick boxes, but I still don't understand their allure. I have the custom v6 boxes and they're flimsy, useless, and a pain to store. Same with the Variety Boxes.

Lance's actually looks pretty sweet, but to me I'd rather have the cards be on display because when someone visits my home they won't know what the brick box is, and its shape doesn't make for easy showcasing.

I guess the allure for me is because I'm mostly a Bicycle collector.  As far as I know, these are the first custom "Bicycle" branded brick boxes.. and I'd love to have a set.

Can't justify 36 decks to get it though

36? Wow that's 3 boxes?
You can just style at 24decks to get 2 boxes. Why 3?

[Don Boyer]

@CBJ - heck, why not just ONE box.  Hold a full brick in it, maybe order a pack or two to play with.  Keep that up and you're going to need a much bigger place to live, like perhaps a small warehouse...

I really want all 3 custom brick boxes... so I'd have to order 12 of each deck to get them.

I don't think I'll swing it.. but you never know

Only 5 days left??  Have you purchased your decks??

CBJ

[phantom1412]

I bought only one of each color, really no money left for decks.
But I don't wanna let it go too.


Just wanna shout out stop making cool decks. LoL

[austin]

Well, I wish I could have got these, but I would rather have my E stuff. The good thing is that Lance T. Miller said he will be creating a new deck if he hasn't started yet I forget it's been about 2-3 weeks, but he said he was going to make another deck that was going to be awesome. If I remember corrector, but I will probably pick up some of those if they look good. Cause then I will have money to get them.

I see.  Costly hobby, this is. 

I'm down for two black and two white.  Gotta be careful about managing my bucks for the start of the month.  By the end, though, I'll have more than enough - I get HUGE $$ in tips this time of year.  The fact that most of it is going to the IRS, the State tax department, Visa and Mastercard doesn't damper that happy feeling one bit....   (snif...)  I screwed up my taxes last year by failing to properly account for the taxes not being deducted from the alimony I was receiving.

Lance Miller write via Kickstarter

Hello Everyone,
This Kickstarter update stream on this project has remained pretty quiet because most of the updates were being made over on the Artist's Edition Actuators main Kickstarter page here:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lancetmiller/lance-millers-new-steampunk-playing-card-deck/posts

Anyway, A lot of people asked to see the variation of colors based on the editions. I went through the artist mindset of "Think of a really cool way to show the variations complete with diagrams, explanations... etc. in a really neat graphic presentation." Yeah, I'm not perfect. Well after hours of messing around with all kinds of different presentation ideas, I finally brought myself back down to earth and said K.I.S.S. Keep it Simple Stupid! I was over-complicating things and not showing you guys what you've been longing to see.

The idea in the variants, while subtle, is to allow the decks to stand together as a series, yet have some individual personality. The White Edition faces are lighter and more subdued, The Artist's Edition are my preferred representation of the artistic point of the deck, and the Black Edition is bold, dark, and full of contrast.


As always, comments, feedback and suggestions are not only welcome, but encouraged. Thank you all for your support on this version of the project and the Artist's Edition Actuators.
- Lance"


3 days left, have you purchased yours yet?

I like the variations in color between decks.  Somehow, though, I feel like this could have been something more.  I read PoundFFFFFF's article on design and I think he hit the nail on the head with this one.

[sinsandman]

I am down with the black and white decks for sure. But with the revealing of the new queens...I am a tad disappointed. There is not enough there to make them stand out from the originals. At just a quick glance it looks like the same card sitting next to each other. I would like to see a true black and white here without the yellows.

[CBJ]

Lance writes on UC:

For those that are asking, here is a version that is literally blacks, whites, and greys. I made these variations first but I felt that it needed some of the yellows and browns to tie it back to the original deck...

What do you guys think?

[munro159]

I vote to leave out the color. The black and white backs with a colored face throws it off for me. But at least we have a chance to add this input....I wish Merz would have let us add input on the trace decks!
