A big news day today! Yay!
We have two new decks coming soon - the first to arrive, reported by Evan, will be the "Love Me" deck from Theory11, apparently beating the Fontaine deck to the punch. It's supposed to be on sale Monday 11am Eastern (16:00 UTC).
The second on deck is the Bicycle Vision deck in silver, according to a post by KPopFever605. Odd thing about it is, based on his description, it looks like it will share little in common with the first two decks other than the name.
And on Kickstarter, David Goldklang does it again, knocking it out of the park with his Polaris deck, closing at $45,666 on a goal of $15,000 - triple what he asked for. The kicker: nearly NINE GRAND of that total came in the last day! Congratulations, and we look forward to hearing about what's coming next from Goldklang Studios.
Three more projects are ending this week, all quite successful: Dicecards (Thursday 23:59 UTC), Bicycle The White Rabbit (Friday 03:00 UTC; that's late Thursday night in the American/Canadian Eastern time zone) and The Confidence Deck (Friday 20:14 UTC). Get in on them before they're closed and you have to pay dealer prices!
The Bicycle charity deck for the US Humane Society is on sale now. There's also new version of the Johnny Cupcakes deck, on sale now (update: these came out December 2012).
LATE EDIT: CARC will be selling the Legends as of 18:00 today (1pm Monday Eastern time)! Prices start at $5.49 for members, $5.99 for non-members, there's bulk discounts and only 1100 of each color available. As far as I know, these are NOT pre-sales but actual orders being taken.
