The cards are in the box and the box is wrapped in cellophane

Ah, okay, thanks. I thought that just the cards themselves were wrapped in the cellophane; inside the box.

I really love the box.
I always wondered what would the box be since the others color are having black as background.
This is great!

Nope, no crown logo on the bottom. Just some manufacturing details as I mentioned in my earlier post.


I think that like loldude said this is one of my favorite boxes now! I haven't seen such a simple box before and this one really works that simple and sleek look. It isn't boring either. I can easily say that this box is up there with the Monarchs, Sentinels, and Jaqk boxes  :)

I just received mine!
The box is incredible! I love it!
But the cards are kinda disappointing. The fronts are like all the other crown deck (which I'm not a huge fan of)
and I feel that they could have made this deck much more "special". But the back design is really nice!

Yes, that's minimalist, but it's also generic.  Black Crown boxes are anything but generic.

Arrco faces are pretty much a signature of the Blue Crown series.  How could you expect something different?  It's like asking for Arcanes or Sentinels to be made with standard Bicycle faces...

Is the outline actually metallic silver or grey? From the photos it looks like its just grey and not metallic at all, but that might just be because its hard to show metallic inks in photos.

It is silver metallic inks on there. The photos don't really show it though. I tried my best  :)

I have yet to see a photo that really does justice to a metallic ink.  They rarely manage to capture the reflective properties well.  Video comes closer, but only marginally.

When I first opened the deck, the cards felt kinda crappy... didnt fan well and felt weird.
But after using them a little bit, they get better and better! Now they fan perfectly and feel fine!

Judging from the photo - they may also offer white Arrcos as well.

Just like D&D did with the V6 bricks... "found in their warehouse" ::)
I'm not sure if it actually helps the sales, seeing as those bricks are still in stock. Are consumers smarter than I expected?
