Got my package last week but one deck was missing from my order. I have an email in at T11. Waiting to hear from them

people keep hinting that there is more in the box besides the cards and the letter from JJ, I highly doubt it, someone would have leaked it by now

Info on the Mystery Box

Those of us who bought the box were asked to keep this quiet by J.J Abrahms himself (or I am assuming he did, since I didn't actually bother reading the letter)
and having not opened my mystery box
I can definitively say
"There definitely MIGHT be something inside the box other than cards"

Remember you heard it here first

Love or hate the deck, I think the "Story" behind the Mystery Box is great. I know eventually someone is going to post the contents somewhere, I hope its a long time from now  ;)

What are the odds that the contents of the box aren't all the same??  :o

LOL, it's not like JJ Abrams found the Ark of the Covenant and is parting it out or something. If I had 150 dollar bills I was bored with and wanted to give them to T11 you can bet I'd be examining those contents post haste. I'm way too visually curious to not dig in. :)

Well as one "Without" a box, it's easy for me to say keep it a mystery  ;D

Let me speculate in peace Paul, lol

I would open it. I like the mystery, but part of that great feeling is solving it.

I will say brian brushwood was selling these on his site - scamstuff.com - and including a mystery gift that was really close to him. That was the reason I bought it. Which I now regret because I have a deck that has cards that IMO are crap - but a nice ? wrapping - and a little magazine brian used as a promotional thing when he started doing college shows.

Do you guys even read this? Like I could have the meaning of life here and I doubt you would know it.

now that someone WON the T11 contest - any clues as to what the big "secret" is in the tuck case? Someone told me it was in the deck liner? I'm going to go blind staring at this thing....

EDIT: of course, as soon as I post this, I found it

My best bet would be a black deck with red lining. Either way, I'm liking the black and red color scheme.

I agree with you, I like the black and red color scheme. I'm not a fan of the first bad robot deck though, at all really. I hope this is very different.

I'm wagering it's the same deck in a new color scheme  Not necessarily black with red - that's just the paper wrapper covering the box.  But it's possible.

Ill fancy a wager!  My guess is  backs will be black.
I like to call paper coatings a finish. It makes Don happy.

I wonder if they will release the same box for a mix brick. The box looks much better compared to some others *Cough* Ellusionist *Cough*, but did not get it because of the high price point and not knowing what to do with 12 decks.

Ok...in all honesty, i still might not get the box if it is a mix brick. But at least it gets me considering.

Yeah, my views on the first deck are pretty much the same as Fes'.

T11 made out that they were really excited for the V1 release, and seeing as T11 have a great track record when it comes to putting out really good designs, I thought the deck was going to be impressive.

When I saw the back design, I was stunned by how unspectacular, and quite frankly, how boring it was. The robot courts were interesting... but I couldn't use them for games. Overall, wasn't a fan of that deck.

If the V2 has the same back design, but in a different colour, then for me it would appeal even less than Madison Rounders in pink.‎
With this signature I'm following the example set by Fes: There is only ONE letter L in my display name. "Holly" is a female name... and I'm a bearded guy who's into weightlifting. There's nothing feminine about me brother!

Looks like it is now available https://store.theory11.com/products/mysterybox-black-edition

I purchased the box last time, the box is kinda cool rustic and with an interesting patina. I will not be purchasing this new deck.
