Hey Everyone,

Here's a Render showing the Tuck Boxes for the LUXX Deck. I'm glad to finally show these, as the Tuck Box was the first element designed for the LUXX. While I was working on it I kept picturing the entry to the Flamingo Casino, which is one of my favorites in Vegas!

thanks, Randy

The tucks look great, Randy!

Gotta say, that's a beautiful lookin' pair ya got there...

When?!?!

Looking great.

There's still a few details to iron out and we don't want to rush anything, so pre-orders may be a bit later than planned. I'll update the thread as and when!

Probably a month or 6 weeks but not sure for certain yet.

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #55 on:** July 19, 2014, 05:00:26 AM »

Quick update - they're due to be printed by the end of this month. Once they're definitely printed and on the way to us, we'll make a decision about pre-order release dates!

Here's a couple of shots of the accompanying dealer coin.

Wow, these are amazing looking cards. Likely to be in the beginning of my collecting journey.

Looking very good Randy and Paul, kudos

Can't wait! =)

Just to clarify - these were never on KS, were they? I thought I saw KS mentioned earlier in the thread...

Nope, it may have been mentioned early days but a few pages back it was mentioned they'd definitely be a site pre-order.

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #60 on:** July 25, 2014, 04:18:17 AM »

Finally, a date for pre-orders. This will only change if there are massive delays in getting the decks over to us - I don't particularly want people waiting too long for decks they've already paid for.

BiggerDee · « **Reply #61 on:** July 25, 2014, 10:34:48 AM »

Killing me! Now I know that I have to (impatiently) wait a whole month to order these beauties! :-)

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #62 on:** July 25, 2014, 11:44:35 AM »

I've been pretty impatient too, can't wait to see these in the 'flesh' and see Randy's work up close.

If you buy a brick, does that include a pair with matching numbers?

Good question. I hadn't thought of that - i'll think on it.

Between now and the pre-order date, please consider adding a conversion feature to your site for US dollars, much like the one found on Big Blind Media's online shop. You may not get many American orders now, but you will be getting a lot more when this goes on pre-sale.

Another possible idea for your success - if you used a fulfillment center in the US for decks to be sold there, you'd probably save yourself some money and hassle as well as your North American customers. Kings Wild is doing good work in that area, I'm told, and they handle fulfillment for Expert PCC and Legends PCC.

Hi Don, offering a USD option is already on the list to see if we can make it work, next week. It's not as simple as adding a button unfortunately, we've got to look to see if our accountancy package can accept a third currency and still work OK, and we need to make sure it's financially viable with our processors (Amazon won't be a problem though).

Regarding US fulfilment - it has been considered at length (a couple of months) ago, but for a multitude of reasons we won't be doing it this time. The main one for the moment is that our prices to the 'big 4' outside of Europe - US, Canada, NZ & Australia - are already pretty good and we're working with Royal Mail to get them down a little further in time for the pre-release. We'll see.

Thanks for your feedback.

How about something in Asia? Maybe you don't have enough customers/demand out here, but if you do, it'd be nice to have better pricing on shipping/faster deliveries! =P

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #68 on:** July 26, 2014, 02:01:13 PM »

We won't be using a fulfilment company anywhere in the world I'm afraid. Sorry! We are talking with our Royal Mail account manager a fair amount at the moment to see if we can find ways of reducing the cost of all our overseas post.

I'm in love ...

Randy's work looks exceptional as usual. Good luck with the project Paul. I think you have a winner here.

These cards look great!

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #72 on:** August 07, 2014, 02:08:44 AM »

Thanks Rob, yes Randys work is amazing as ever. The feedback from our regular UK and EU customers alone has been very positive add into the mix the great reaction from both forums and I'd like to think so too. Time will tell I guess, but overall we are a smaller company in a smaller country with a smaller reach, so we are not pinning hopes on an instant sell out- rather we have planned for realistic sales.

Nurul - thanks for your massive support from start to finish, appreciate it.

Nurul · « **Reply #73 on:** August 11, 2014, 08:00:19 AM »

It's been a pleasure Paul. Love supporting this project, it's an amazing deck.

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.
