Thank you, Randy for another beautiful set! :)

Can't wait! Love the custom brick boxes as well! :)

This time I can buy them directly from HOPC! :)

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad people are diggin' the purple. I think it's going to be Monday when we'll reveal the second surprise for the A&E Decks.

I'll have a Facebook contest on Monday for a Deck or 2 as well (address in my sig below). HOPC has a few going on there FB page, with the prizes being free Decks as well.

Thanks, Randy

EDIT:  I'll be having a FB contest tomorrow night at 8:00 pm EST for a set of A&E Decks and a sample set of ORNATE Poker Chips.

Thanks, Randy

I think it's a good time to reveal the other surprise that will be available on Thursday night. For the ORNATE A & E Decks not only will there be custom Brick Boxes but there will also be custom 6-Pack Boxes as well!

I wanted to have a premium item available for the people who can't afford to get a full 12 Decks of each color. The 6-Pack Boxes are printed by the same manufacturer as the custom Brick Boxes and are mini versions of a standard brick!

(All of the custom Boxes will only be available with the Decks through HOPC. I won't be selling any of the new boxes separately on my site from here on out.)

thanks, Randy

No responses from the custom 6-Pack Boxes? I thought that was what you all wanted.

Here's some of the photos HOPC has released and a few I took as well. 6 more hours to go!

thanks, Randy

  • Ugh, I wish I had money for THAT deck!
Ugh, still can't over the fact of how beautiful these cards are! And good news to hear that they're available on HOPC too. Thanks for the info Randy.

These are absolutely beautiful decks. I will be picking up a few in each color. Well done, Randy.

Awesome job Randy! Emerald and Amethyst are likely to sell out even faster than the Scarlet and Sapphire decks  :D

Good news that the HOPC has now some reasonable options for international shipping.

I loved the idea. Those little custom boxes add a lot of value to the product and are perfect to display. I just wish we had little Scarlet & Sapphire boxes to go along.

And yes, the cards are awesome too.

I think you missed the part where he said he wanted LITTLE Scarlet and Sapphire boxes - the half-brick boxes like the new ones made for Amethyst and Emerald.

Hey, thanks for pointing that up. I didn't know the brick boxes were still available for sale. I might grab a purple one later.

But, as Don noticed before, I was just wondering how cool it would be to have half-brick boxes of all Ornate 'flavors'  :)

Hey Sway, the empty Brick Boxes available in the Midnight Cards store are only the original four versions (Scarlet, Sapphire, Mix and Purple). We only printed enough of the Purple and Green boxes to go with the Decks. I don't have any of the new Brick or 6PK Boxes to sell, just a few samples of each for myself. The only way to get any of the Green or Purple boxes is by ordering them through HOPC with Decks.

I'll be shutting down the Midnight Cards store at the end of March so I can concentrate on designing Decks during my free time at night.

I agree that Scarlet and Sapphirre 6-Pack Boxes would be pretty cool. Producing them would be a $1,000+ gamble I'm not willing to take though! Especially since the matching Decks won't be reprinted.

Thanks, Randy

I wasn't going to buy any of these because I am running out of card money. But I went and looked at some of the pictures and Caved. Picked up a set, they are going to go great with my reds and blues :)
People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

Since the store's STILL OPEN, I'd have to say yes, you can still order them until it closes...  (D'oh!)  Or until they sell out, whichever comes first.

Don's correct. I figured some new collectors would want some of the original Brick Boxes to go with the new A&E Boxes from HOPC.

Thanks, Randy

Thanks Randy.

Don, no kidding. Thaks for once again being the master of the obvious, and true to your normal "critical of everyone else" nature. I apologize for not asking my question in more simpler terms for you but then again, it wasn't directed to you, unless you speak on behalf of Randy.

My intent was to make sure that he had enough of all colors to keep the store open until then. He could have 3 of each color and while his intent would be to keep it open until the end of March, he might very well run out of stock before then. If his reply was "Yes, I have plenty of stock to supply me until then", then I could put off a purchase until later in the month with some confidence that there would be a good chance that he would still have stock at that point and time.
