Legends Deck, coming Jan 2013 from David Blaine and Bill Kalush

[Don Boyer]

I swapped some email with Lawrence Sullivan.

They opted on the release version of Legends to stick with the prototype box instead of the heavily-embossed matte boxes shown in some of the photos.  The thinking there was that the box's plastic coating would make the box a little water-resistant, great for when you're performing at a bar or restaurant setting.  I think it would also survive placement in a Porper clip better as well - mine in and out of their Porpers look great.

Yes, the green deck has metallic ink, unlike the blue and red.

CARC will be carrying them.  Bill Kalush gets his batch this week.  Though honestly, I think you'd be very hard-pressed to find a deal better than the ones Zenneth is offering.  I picked up a total of four Coterie Bee + Legends sets and three Gold Seal NFB deck sets.  The prices I got on all of those items are very hard to pass up.

do we need a account from coterie in order to track my order or will they email us the tracking number ?

well, for people like me who didn't want to buy in bulk and only wanted 2 of each color (which is actually kinda "bulk"), 50 bucks total for 6 supposedly less costly decks just didn't seem like that great of a deal

Go to the My Account page and you'll see a tab for requesting a new password if you can't remember it.  Your user name is the same as the email address you gave for the purchase.  Zenneth uses Hong Kong Registered Mail, which should be trackable worldwide, but I'm not certain if he posts the tracking info on the account page.  I suspect he doesn't, but if you make an inquiry on their contact page they'll probably give you the number.

So, $8.33 per deck INCLUDING WORLDWIDE SHIPPING is not a deal as far as you're concerned for a custom deck?  Shipped by Registered Mail?

Just as a random example, I went to Ellusionist and placed an order for six Artifice decks.  Normally $6.99, I got 10% for getting 3 "green/blue combos".  With the discount, the decks are $37.74, but the cheapest available shipping is $11.07, making the total $48.81, just $1.19 from the cost of the Legends, from a company that's in my own country...  Considering the higher quality of the Legends, they're worth the difference.

Without the combo discount, that supposedly cheaper deck now costs $41.94.  Assuming shipping doesn't change, the new total is $53.01.  Not looking as cheap anymore, is it?

Ellusionist shipping is a complete ripoff, so that comparison is kind of weak.

as a counter-example, 6 decks shipped from the1eyedjack.com is 5.95.

Six $6.99 decks from the1eyedjack.com = $35.70
Shipping @ $5.95 brings that to $41.65.

But you're still neglecting the facts that 1) this is a better deck and 2) he's shipping from the same country as you, while Coterie isn't.  Plus his selection is a bit more limited - he's not even carrying the Bee Coterie deck, never mind the Legends deck.

well we already know for certain that Coterie won't be the only place having these in stock, so I'm choosing to avoid the high shipping costs from Hong Kong. Also I have my doubts that this deck will be going as high as 7 dollars each on other sites. Perhaps I'm too optimistic. I guess we'll find out

You get international shipping that comes within 7 days for about as much as domestic shipping within the US. What is there to complain about?

Eh, let him do as he pleases.  If we're right, he'll be kicking himself in the pants later.  If not, we'll be the kickers of our own pants...  He'll willing to wager he's right, that's all.

I have hung out my pants in anticipation of the 1% chance I will have to kick them.

At the moment those two sites were the only ones that sold the Legends decks. CARC should be selling them soon (I'm guessing the next two weeks for sure) so just look out for that. I think Don mentioned above that Bill Kalush was getting his lot to sell this week. Just keep an eye out on this thread!

Doris, have you tried ordering the Coterie bundles. I believe the bundle of 4 decks was sold out, but I was able to order 12 decks so 3 of each Legends Deck and 3 Coterie decks.

Anything with a Legends deck in it over at coterie1902.com is sold out.  The Bee/Legends combo lasted longer, but it is gone.

[Evan]

I asked Lawrence when CARC would have them and he said hopefully by next month. It will be a real release, and not a pre-order.

The big question will be if it's open to the public right away or if, like most of their releases, members get first crack.

[John B.]

well I was going to order through coteire but if they are out I guess not. are they going to get more?

damn it. i thought it will be late January. my membership ends this month

I too thought offcial sale wll be able to start this month, but apparently there will be a little bit of delay in shipping, hmmm...

Anyway, judging from the speed of pre-orders placed at Coterie, I must say Legends will soon become (already is...actually) a very sought after deck.

Lawrence doesn't want any of the hidden secrets of Legends to be revealed, but... by the time when people actually start to realise the value of these secrets,
you could probably only be able to find Legends on eBay at several times the initial price.

Hey Doris,

I'm not sure about Coterie - but we only put a very small number up for pre-order. We are expecting to take stock within a couple of weeks and will be on sale again then

Here's to hoping there will be more than just the one edition!
