Too bad Dan & Dave are too cheap to let non-Anericans get memberships! I guess they don't want our money!

Wait - they're cheap...but they DON'T want your money? Sounds like a contradiction, Victor.

If you're so distressed about the situation, perhaps you should do what smart "non-Anericans" do and use an order consolidation service with a US address.

BTW: got a quick look at these yesterday at CARC. It's a nice-looking deck, better than I thought it would be.

Wait.. Produced and Manufactured by D&D? I thought they did all there printing with USPCC.

There have been a few USPC decks that don't have USPC markings on the box. It's marked as made in the USA, so it's a near-certainty that USPC did the "making".

I dislike their marketing rhetoric.

Everything is a limited edition. Never to be reprinted in that color at least
Everything the greatest yet

Quote

Every detail reexamined, refined and carefully produced. From the paper stock, to new artwork and even a custom seal that is perforated along the box crescent to more easily open the cards. Nothing was left out. perfect.

... as opposed to the normal half heartily produced, pipless, printed on a used pizza box, wrapped in a garbage bag, and sealed with duct tape decks I normally buy i guess.

$9.95 "mystery" decks from a "private reserve"

featuring rare, vintage, out of print, or otherwise ~~valuable decks~~ worth money

the best part is that they are packaged when ordered.

Even the forum.

For the past six months we have been developing an entirely new forum platform. We literally started with a blank slate!

... um its forumparrot guys.

I like a lot of the decks.. but come on!! Tone it down a bit.

If you don't want the box you just won from Nurul with all the D&D cards I would be happy to take it off of your hands

BiggerDee · « **Reply #30 on:** January 31, 2014, 02:04:27 PM »

I must be missing something on the appeal of these. They look ok, just ok, to me. They look like a standard deck with an octopus instead of a bicycle. I dunno.

Say what you will about Dan and Dave, but they are indeed businessmen. They do lay it on a bit thick at times, but they have (at least for now) a rabid group of fans that buy practically anything they make. It looks like rather than trying to fool all of the people some of the time, they're focused on fooling some of the people all of the time!

The deck looks awesome. But, then again, I thought the same about the Fulton's October before I saw the repeating courts. I might pick up a few if it shapes up to be a nice deck.

Hey guys

these will be released tomorrow. 9am PST ( noon EST )

I like them, but my name's not Mark. Oh well.

It's killing me. I want to see the courts!

Anthony · « **Reply #37 on:** February 03, 2014, 12:09:05 PM »

Hmmm, maybe it's just me, but they sure are pushing the back design

One thing i've learned the hard way...
If they* don't show you the courts in all these hyped up ads, 99.99% of the time they are nothing special. Probably standard, or perhaps recolored standard.

*and "they" isn't just D$D, it's EVERY single card manufacturer out there. It makes sense, though. because there's no way they are going to put the time and effort into custom courts, and then not exploit those features in their ads...

That's probably the best thought to have, th4mo, as most companies are smart enough to always push what's "special" about their product.

The best I could find was this crop picture of the uncut sheets from HMNIM blog. It looks like all the Aces might be the same design, except pip changes and I think they'll reuse the border, they used for the AoS, for all the court cards.

Well, i'll be darned... looks like this could be the .01% exception to the rule...

They must be going for a very slow reveal on this deck.

As for the courts... not so much a fan of one way, or monochrome, so i guess it's a pass for me anyway.

bhong · « **Reply #42 on:** February 03, 2014, 03:49:56 PM »

Just to play the other side of a moment, they could do what they did with Fulton's October and just repeat all the Jack, Queen and King for all the court cards. Although, if they did that, at least it'd be better than just having one different King for KoH.

DarkDerp · « **Reply #43 on:** February 03, 2014, 04:28:28 PM »

two more

The Aces are all the same so I would lean towards.. meh.
According to Dan and Dave they have a wavy gold metallic background on all the faces, a gold treasure map printed inside the Tuck box.. and they are the greatest deck ever put out by UPCC.. and their favorite deck..

chess · « **Reply #44 on:** February 03, 2014, 07:06:50 PM »

I'm gonna pass on these. I don't want a repeat of the October deck.

Aptombstone · « **Reply #45 on:** February 03, 2014, 07:37:40 PM »

Despite having one way courts which I don't like, the back design, box and ace design, coupled with the fact that I liked blink-182 as a kid make this a purchase for me.

I emailed HMNIM and they said a limited amount of cards, possibly 2500 were produced. Further more, they'd actually only be selling a third of those on the website; the rest would belong to Dan and Dave.

Yashi · « **Reply #46 on:** February 03, 2014, 09:09:06 PM »

The aces are a shame and I hope the courts don't repeat. I might get one for the treasure map printed in the tuckbox.

badpete69 · « **Reply #47 on:** February 04, 2014, 12:03:29 PM »

Picked up a couple. A little more expensive than I thought but not bad i guess

Anthony · « **Reply #48 on:** February 04, 2014, 12:40:22 PM »

Well I like the tuck, Jokers and Aces and if they were a little less expensive I may have grabbed a couple. But for $12 a pop I have other options on my wanted list. Maybe I'll pick a few up in trade in time. I'm sure they'll do well either way.

jwats01 · « **Reply #49 on:** February 04, 2014, 02:27:08 PM »

I was gonna pickup 2, but shipping was $15.38 to PA. They really need to work on lowering their shipping costs. That's another pack of cards Oh well. I am going to pass right now. Maybe they'll still be around when my want list is shorter. Thanks to the OP.
