I don't see how this marketing strategy is 'bullshit'. It's totally valid. T11 already somewhat figured out their estimated equilibrium market demand/supply/price from the last JAQK decks. It would be silly to do a 2,500 run and sell out within 2hours when you as a company almost know for a fact that a 10,000 run will sell out in 72hours. Bottlenecking huge demand is almost never beneficial.

It's a matter of finding the delicate balance.  Make too few, you have a lot of frustrated customers.  Make too many, they sit around for a long time and cost you money.  Make just enough to meet most of the demand, you leave your customers a) wanting more and b) more eager to purchase the next limited release, now knowing that if they snooze, they lose.

That's a pretty good deal. The1eyedjack has solid prices but unfortunately they don't have the red and blue JAQK decks. Anyone know where to find those at a decent price?

JAQK's site has the Blue JAQK. I haven't ordered from them 'cause international shipping is awful from them (30$ for 2 decks). They show the older one way back design, but I've heard that they do have the Theory11 version. You could try asking them to find out. Their 9$/deck is probably the cheapest you can find them at.

Not sure if this is the right thread to post this in but I just opened a Black JAQK and was blown away by them.
Everything from the tuck to the embossing to the cards and the way they handle was so impressive. Might be my new favourite deck (at the moment its between these and the monarchs for me).
