I am so tempted to get that nice wooden box

Overhyped product... and overpriced...

T11 is getting desperate...

They hit some, They miss some.

I DON'T think theory11 is getting desperate. It's not a bad product. I feel like the promotion was poor since day one. The first thing they should of done was teased that they are working with J.J. Abrams on a new project. The box should have been the last thing they teased. They basically killed it for me every night with another tease of the box. The focal point of the promotion should have been the cards.

Does it change anything it terms of buying the product? Absolutely not. I have NO interest in either the cards or the box.

Meh. I really wish Theory would do something unique with the standard cards. An intesting suit color or something, otherwise I feel like I'm buying a deck off Zazzle.

The courts aren't completely standard...

I like it.  Would love to have the box but it's really not in my budget.  Might get some cards, though - I love J.J. Abrams' work.

Yep, if you see their video, you would realise there are customised courts, more than likely to suit the logo of bad robot.

I do admit that for the hype they have created, it is a little disappointing to see just one non-fully customised deck. The wrapped decks remind me of D&D's mystery deck, and i thought it would be really cool if they had something similar. Imagine opening a box filled with 12 unknown decks rather than 12 wrapped decks which we already know what's inside. Heck, a colour change would seem nicer at this point.

I really love the box and really am quite tempted to get it. But to get 12 mystery decks for the box seems a little overkill. I understand the cost includes the deck & box, but i really don't wanna get 12 decks of the same card just for 1 cool box.

I have to ask, what hype?  I never heard of this before last night!  Granted, I use Facebook only when I have to, but still - it doesn't sound like they're shouting about it off the rooftops or anything close to that.

They've been teasing about it all month, but not as bad. I think it was just once a week until this week where they've been releasing more stuff every night.

But to everyone complaining about the "hype", what else do you expect a company to do? Yes, they're tease and get people excited for a product they've got coming out. It's really their job and if you feel like you're disappointed by the hype every time, then just ignore it and just check back day of release to see what it's about. I honestly, thought the tease and everything was fitting.

Considering there's no usual bulk discount on the deck, I think the Mystery Box with the brick is probably the most bang for buck depending on how much value you want to put on the wooden box.

That is what ebay is for is it not.  you get 12 decks you keep 2-3 one you open so you can get pics of what your sell on the site. you sell the other 9-10 at $15 plus shipping and you gat almost all of your money back.

...Did you even take a look at the deck? The court cards are completely custom.

This deck looks AMAZING. I love the back. It's great to see T11 back on their feet with fully custom designs.
And, of course, the box looks brilliant.

Some people still remember when T11 was touting the Monarchs just before release as being the BEST. DECK. EVAH.  Then they removed the gold ink from the back design, and the end result was a decent performer that didn't in any way live up to the hype.  It left a bad taste in people's mouths that some still haven't forgotten or forgiven.

Sry I was referring to the pips and cards 2-9.

Hmmm that sounds great. What imaginary eBay have you been selling on?

You won't get more then the retail company is currently selling it for. Let's not forget about the shipping you spend to get the product. Then there are eBay fees and Paypal fees. Plus your own time to create listings, pack, print shipping labels and the storage of extra items for weeks.

I don't recommend it to others.

So here they are the Mystery Decks, aka, Bad Robot from T11, discuss...........

PS. Sorry Don, as I hit Post I realized I should have added it to the existing thread.

[Don Boyer]

It's fixed.

I'm really disappointed in those faces.  It might as well be Robocycle 2.0...

Agree 100%.  I can't remember if I ordered 2 or 3 decks.  After seeing those pics, if it's just 2 that I ordered I'll keep one wrapped and the other not even bother opening the cellophane.  Oh well, they can't all be winners I guess.

[bhong]

Great photo, Sparkz. Seriously, they could be promo shots by T11 for their stuff.

Maybe I'm the odd one out, but I do personally like the Robocycle deck and I do like the Mystery Box/Bad Robot deck. I like robots too. I can't wait to get my decks.

[D. Dorn]

The tuck looks awesome, the back is pretty nice, and I'm kind of meh on the faces.  Will probably order one, and leave it wrapped.  20 years from now, I'll open it and be surprised.

[sr15]

Like most recent T11 decks, the tuck is awesome, the backs look good and the faces leave something to be desired.

[Anthony]

In case anyone wanted to see the Anamorphic bonus cards in action, they should be cut out of the cards for the best effect, but you get the idea.

There are people who liked that deck.  But I think even you would have to admit that they're few and far between.  I get the feeling it wasn't a big hit for USPC, and the fact that T11 did the design was never advertised - I discovered it by accident when I looked under the deck seal.

[Magic_Orthodoxy]

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

Hey, you never know.  It's possible that it was a secret so good, it was worth keeping...

[DarkDerp]

The day the Interwebs keeps a secret, I wont notice, because ill be outside shooing away the flying pigs from my money tree, whilst sipping upon a tasty glass of Vermouth, chilled to perfection with imported ice cubes from hell.
