Does anyone have any idea how much they're going to be?

They look pretty awesome but I don't want to pay >$100.00 for a recolour.

I'm taking an educated guess based on most recent theory11 deck prices.

Starting at $6.95 a deck.

@ Don

I was hoping one of these companies would just email their mailing list early for a pre sale. I've got so much shit to do Thursday and Friday. Plus other people to buy for. I just want to get the order done with.

I bet when you were a kid, you couldn't wait for Christmas Eve...  :))

They're doing it to stoke interest - especially since competition for holiday shoppers as a whole looks like it will be pretty intense this year.  I've never seen shops gear up so early, and not just playing card shops.

Perhaps we should just get it over with, name Halloween "pre-Christmas" and call Thankgiving "Black Friday Eve"...  They could begin the sales when fall begins at the autumnal equinox!  Christmas is always a few days after winter solstice, so that gives retailers and entire SEASON to part us from our money!

Meanwhile, I'm taking as Zen an attitude as I possibly can.  These things aren't on sale yet, and all of the fretting in the world won't make them come on sale any sooner, so why fret at all?  Accept this and live in the present moment rather than worry about some future event you can't influence until it occurs.

LMAO. As a kid there is always that one big gift you could not wait for. As an adult, the last 2 years it's been one or two decks of cards. I don't want to lose perspective of those less fortunate around the world. I don't think that's wanting too much. This is a little different though. It's a bit nerve racking not knowing or scheduling for release dates. It's all part of the process I guess.

I think I'll make it. There will be NO spontaneous human combustion before Black Friday. :)

I still think it'd be a releasing of an older deck or a re-colour of something. I honestly can't imagine it be a completely new designed deck though I'd be happy to be wrong.

Normally I don't like to simply tell people that they are wrong, but in this case I am more than happy to say it loud and clear. You. Are. Wrong.

Not quite yet, but you guys over here are good to me so I'll tip you off to a little secret that nobody else knows yet. This is something I hear people ask ALL THE TIME for us to do with our cards. We don't do it terribly often, but we do try to create decks that appeal to several different crowds.

I'm going to second that, totally evil, Lyle. Amazing news and now I've got to talk my wallet into opening up some more. Honestly, thanks for proving me wrong and dropping by with this cool news.

Digging that seal.

it seems like T11's seals just keep getting better and better. One of the best things about them is that you can peel them off without leaving a huge sticky spot. Makes them easier to just peel off the front and stick it to the tuck flap, keeping it intact.

I did the same thing, but if you notice you don't have the bulk discount you normally get with 6 or 12 decks. It's not up yet, but at least you don't have to worry about it selling out or the server crash as people mad rush for things at 11 EST. I wonder if it's possible to ask for that little bit back later on...

NO worries. I would have saved $4.17. Theory11 support will fix it.

It's not like we used a link that was not on their website yet. They published it.

I put my order through about 5 minutes ago and I also got 6 decks.  While the summary still said the unit price was 6.95, the subtotal reflected the discounted price.  Needless to say, I'm quite happy, got all my Black Friday shopping done, guess I can go back to playing video games or maybe try to get some sleep.

Think they'll give you the 15% off for Black Friday?

My account invoice says I paid full 6.95 per deck. I did check JAQK's page again about 10:50sh EST and the discount was working. It might be an isolated insolent. Maybe they published before they were ready and I jumped the gun before they could take them off. Or maybe they did not want the site to crash and diluted the traffic by publishing early . Who knows? Its all good.

It's only 10% for 6 decks. Yes, I think they will do the right and fair thing. I have no reason to believe they wont.
