I read Bill Kalush say that the tuck for the new legends deck can be used as a shiner. Am I right in saying that this can too?

I guess it might be possible, we'll see.. if it works out like that, it wouldn't have been intentional.

Any tuck box with an adequately reflective interior on the top flap could be used as a shiner, especially if the flap is mostly smooth rather than embossed or debossed.

If this was something you were looking to prevent, there's a few ways to do it.

Use a darker foil lining, one that reflects less light.
Em-/Deboss the hell out of the top flap so it reflects more like a disco ball than a mirror.
Have all the interior except the flaps lined in foil.
...and of course, the obvious choice - don't line the box with foil in the first place!

The downside to no foil is you would have to drop the extra "x" in Luxx.

Perhaps I'm completely missing your point, but I don't understand that comment. Can you elaborate please?

I think it was just a joke, referencing all of the LUX brands and companies in the Card world now.

If Foil Interiors make it a Shiner Deck, I guess I've done a ton of them! I had never heard of it before.

thanks, Randy

I saw the latest photo of the LUXX deck on the LPCC facebook page yesterday.

Until now I'd thought of the blue version to be the good looking one, because the brown version did look a little dull... but now that I've seen how it's turned out (looks more orange than brown on my phone), I'm gobsmacked by how awesome it looks! I love the vivid colours.

In nearly all sets one deck looks more beautiful than the other... but I really think both decks of these decks look equally brilliant. Well done, because that itself is quite an achievement!

Here's the image I think you were referring to HolyJJ.........and yes, they are very nice indeed

That humour was clearly lost on me - sorry! But yes, I see your point

Thanks for the kind words folks- looking like it's 90% fixed for the August 29th pre order date, just have to nail down one or two details.

That's looking gorgeous. Well done guys!

Everything is so shiny, I love it

as well as the LUXX, the ornates r looking beautiful too

Paul, did you ever get round to figuring out whether getting a brick will get us matching (maybe sequential?) serial numbers too? I'm aiming for the brick, solely because that dealer coin looks lush (or should I be saying, LUXX?)

We want to do matching numbers of a pair as part of a brick purchase, definitely - just need to find the best way to achieve this on the list listings as (currently) the twin set is listed separately. It will be matching numbers only I'm afraid, that's enough work on it's own (finding and pairing). Sorry!

What is the contest? Some sort of lottery if you preorder?

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #93 on:** August 22, 2014, 03:42:20 PM »

Sorry to be anal, but it's not 4pm GMT. We are actually currently in BST (British summer time) which is a one hour difference to GMT. It was an intentional decision to state UK time so anyone that Googled it wouldn't be confused. Could a mod please edit it to reflect that? Thanks!

The contest isn't a lottery, it's a pretty clever idea by Anthony & Ivan - http://www.kardify.com/2014/08/contest-got-luxx-win-red-jerrys-nugget.html

Ha, with the weather the way it's been, doesn't seem like summer

lol I've updated it, apologies for the mistake

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #95 on:** August 22, 2014, 05:32:18 PM »

Indeed, summer ended about 2 weeks ago!

No need to apologise at all Nurul, actually didn't know you'd updates it to be honest. Thanks for changing it though.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #96 on:** August 22, 2014, 06:24:22 PM »

As a general rule, it's best to list deck releases and other time-specific events using UTC/GMT and let everyone else convert them as needed. There are places that change on and off "summer/Daylight Saving" time at different dates and other places that don't change at all, so it reduces confusion to use a standard like UTC.

So, if I'm not mistaken,
4pm British Summer Time is
15:00 UTC/GMT as well as
11am Eastern Daylight Time and
8am Pacific Daylight Time...

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #97 on:** August 27, 2014, 04:22:15 AM »

Fair enough Don, thanks for the input.

http://jpplayingcards.co.uk/luxx-playing-cards

The link is live and has been for a while, there is a page for the matching split bricks (25 available) a page for the matching twin sets (100) and then a regular page for when they (hopefully) sell out. There's also the dealer coin and a leather Porper clip produced by REHandCrafted with the LUXX logo too.

They will be available from 4pm UK time, and the first people to be notified will be the people who added their emails to the product page - followed by newsletter and Twitter/Facebook. There are emails added to the product page that have been there for nearly 2 months so they deserve to be notified first. Of course, if you're loitering you will know the minute they have gone live.

I don't envisage any problems with the site because of peaks in traffic and we have tested a few things over the last couple of weeks to prevent errors, so all being well everything should be fine.

Can't wait to finally start getting them out to people mid-September!
