I'm excited. I remember them having an event like this last year. Here we go again.

Hey Randy

I always wanted to know as creator of the luxury decks do you get royalties every time TBC reprints or does a color change? Are you the one doing the color and design updates or has all the art been handed over to TBC to do what they want?

Maybe the pic is negative, maybe it&s black luxury crown.

It's possible, but I don't think it's likely. I've never seen them do that before, and none of the other photos appear to be negatives; they're just blurry!

It does look, however, like there's more going on deck-wise than just the White Luxury Crown Deck, assuming that's indeed what it is. Heck, it could be something like what T11 did recently with the Monarchs - a big box in the shape of a tuck box meant to hold more decks in it. One photo shows what looks like Gold Crowns, and another appears to be displaying Red and Blue Luxury Crown Decks. I would have thought green was coming, but who knows, once the blur filter is removed, what will remain...?

Hey Anonymous,

I served as a Freelance Designer on the Luxury Deck design, so no royalties for any of those. Yep, I do all of the color / design changes to the variations. For the fee it all depends on what else is going on with other TBC designs. Kevin and I e-mail almost daily on miscellaneous stuff and I help them out with production work every now and then when they need it. It's usually something where Kevin asks how much for XX amount of work, they PayPal it over and I work on it at night. We're pretty casual about it.

Thanks, Randy

@Phantom - it's definitely White Luxury, and it should look sweet!

Now that DOES sound nice... I've really got to give Kevin a call, and soon! It's been too long since we last spoke.

Looks like that white luxury has a black plaque .. Wonder what the black deck under the red n blue handmades are ...

*Awaiting imminent victor rant*

Got to say, this is the first time in a while that I've been excited for a Blue Crown release. The white luxury should hopefully look very elegant - probably what the white monarchs should have been.

Hey, I got news for ya - I thought it was a deck as well when I first saw it. Theoretically, that's still true - a PS4 is a gaming deck, much like the tape decks of yore...

Card Player · « **Reply #14 on:** November 19, 2013, 11:35:02 AM »

I might pick up a few of these. Anyone who knows me, knows I really like the original crown decks. When the luxury decks came out in Blue and Red, I already had my fill of Blue and Red crown decks. I also did not think the name "Luxury" was the best name (signature series). However, I welcome the use of alternate colors not used by "The Crown Deck's" for the Luxury Crown Deck's. This will be a very successful release for TBC. I look forward to seeing other alternate color luxury crown decks.

I wonder if they're going to finish their Summer Club commitments before starting the Holiday Event....

Live and learn... I would not be surprised if Alex ended up swapping some of the videos still owed with a free deck or two. I don't think that's too many of you?

White Luxury Crown confirmed.

He's given club members another freebie from their download-only selection of videos in the store. Only exceptions are videos that are also available on DVD.

anhedonia · « **Reply #19 on:** November 27, 2013, 06:27:40 PM »

Yep - I got the memo. Was hoping one of the new releases would be d/l only, but they all seem to be dvd.
So, I have a freebie, but there's nothing there I want.....

Try contacting Alex about that and perhaps he can help you somehow. Certainly doesn't hurt to try.

No need to stay up to swipe decks, guys. The drawing is open through December 31st. Get entered to win 3 different prizes from four different tier levels.

PrincessTrouble · « **Reply #22 on:** November 29, 2013, 12:28:24 AM »

I can't find the White Crowns either. Just the Black NOCs.

EDIT:

Here's the holiday event page:

EDIT #2:

From Alex Pandrea when I asked where the White Luxury Crowns were:

"We released our Black NOC Playing Cards tonight! White Luxury decks can be found as one of the holiday prizes for now!"

the assman · « **Reply #23 on:** November 29, 2013, 12:36:26 AM »

I guess I'll just have to spend my money tomorrow at T11 instead.

dee1orean · « **Reply #24 on:** November 29, 2013, 01:36:52 AM »

Oh dear, it seems The Blue Crown may have dropped the ball. With so many eagerly anticipating The White Luxury Deck they give us....

The Black NOC.

Forgive me if I'm not jumping up and down like an excited kid at xmas.
