I stopped working just so I could order. These are being sent out 15th? Or you'll receive 15th? If you're sending it out on the 15th, this will be an awesome birthday present for the 19th :p

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #103 on:** August 29, 2014, 03:47:57 PM »

Hoping to sending the 15th, so a happy birthday indeed!

Thanks for your support Nurul, hope you'd didn't get into trouble.

Ha, no, my manager is aware of my playing card addiction :p she was cool with it all

Looks like the twin sets are gone, and bricks are half gone. Congrats!

ps: it's a pain in the ass to register for your sight on a smart phone. It may just be the dummy working the phone.

Thanks Rob, appreciate the support.

If you could drop me a PM with some details and feedback for how we can improve it that would be useful. It's a a site which is coded to be responsive to tablets and mobile devices meaning it should be OK for any device, but obviously it sounds like it's not perfect so anything you can provide in the way of constructive criticism would be great.

Definitely one of the most beautiful (quite possibly THE most beautiful!) custom decks of the year.

Hopefully they'll arrive on time and reach us all around the 3rd week of September. I'm definitely looking forward to putting these decks to some good use.

Seeing as the money for the Mana campaign will be taken in 10 days, the purchase of the LUXX bricks means that my budget for cards in September has already been wiped out. Lol.

Anyway, congrats to Paul and Randy on the twin sets being sold out so fast -- the success so far is definitely well deserved

I guess I should have used a smiling emoticon. Your site is fine. It's just a 44 year old guy typing on a screen the size of a playing card.

Fair enough, thanks Rob

To clarify - The Matching Seal twin sets are all gone (limited to 100) and the Matching Seal Split Bricks are nearly out too, but the decks are still available for the same price on the standard page link - http://jpplayingcards.co.uk/first-edition-luxx-playing-cards (discounts are applied for 2 or more, or 12 or more - making it the same price as the brick of twin purchase, so the only difference is the seals are not twinned).

At this point half the stock is gone approximately, the pre-order window is going to close at the end of Wednesday (11pm UK time) and then what's left will be available mid-September when they are released (after pre-orders have gone out).

I ordered 3 sets, currently within EU so that was enough to get free shipping. I am looking forward to getting them.

Thanks for your order!

Just a quick reminder that the pre-order window closes at 11pm this evening (UK time) and then the remaining stock will be available when they arrive here mid-September.

Received my brick today. Much sooner than I thought I would get it.

I'll post a photo when I get some time to snap one. Thanks for the speedy service.

Great, glad it arrived swiftly! Looking forward to hearing from others too.

Mine have arrived too! Actually they arrived yesterday when I was at work, so I had to go pick them up at the post office this morning and spent the entire day at work staring at the package, itching to open it when I got home!

The tuck boxes are amazing! They are so much more "solid" and sturdy feeling that the USPCC tucks I'm used to, even the higher end custom ones with matte card and embossing... So yeah, feel awesome in the hand, and the level of detail in terms of the design and embossing is amazing too, so they are great for the eyes too!

One relatively minor bonus, but I still think it's cool, is that the brick I ordered came in a nice, solid brick box - the kind that JP actually sells separately. It doesn't look anything fancy, but it protects your decks a whole lot better than the usual flimsy ones you get straight from the producers... So...thanks for the free perk!

Thanks aldazar,

I like to think (hope!) it's the little details that sets our service apart. We take a lot of pride in how we package orders (LUXX or not) and do everything we can to ensure that everything arrives in the best possible condition. I find that the little details and extra touches make all the difference!

The tucks are indeed pretty special, dropped a deck down two flights here in the business centre we work in and it barely got dented!

Dropping a deck of LUXX down two flights. . .Thats just insane!

No, no, no LOL. Please no!

For anyone that's interested, we have 25 of each colour uncut sheets available now. £7.99 each.

I like all the elements of this deck, especially the back design. The stylized pips however, didn't appeal to me.

Rob Wright · « **Reply #121 on:** September 22, 2014, 11:44:32 PM »

Picked up my LUXX's purchase from the post office.

Outside box-damaged- kind of reminded me of the old American Tourister commercials. Think -post office run by gorillas throwing packages around.

Brick box had a small dent.

Cards- perfect.

I don't know if the brick box was from LPCC or JP, but it saved the cards. Double wall cardboard.
If it had been a USPCC brick box. Well

but it wasn't

Music to my ears!

The cardboard brick boxes, whilst not very glamorous, are great for protecting decks - especially in transit. They're produced by us - http://jpplayingcards.co.uk/two-piece-brick-box

Don Boyer · « **Reply #123 on:** September 23, 2014, 05:12:59 AM »

Similar boxes are available in the US, but they're made for collectible sports and game cards. They come in various sizes, though I don't think any of them are exactly sized to hold a dozen playing card decks. The smaller ones are a single-piece unit with a flip-down lid with locking tabs, so it stays closed.

I use the two-piece 5,000-card "Monster Box" as part of my storage system - they hold 125 decks each and I have about 10 of them now, plus a pair of stackable drawer units from the office supply store.

It makes me wonder how cheaply such boxes can be had for in bulk. Could make for an excellent alternative to the packaging some KS creators are using now.

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #124 on:** September 23, 2014, 02:03:57 PM »

You could certainly produce much higher quantities than we (currently) do. Pretty soon we are going to stop selling singles and just sell packs of 5, 10 or 20. Right now, the sales are an after-thought for us the main reason we produce them is for packaging.
