The numbers that Evan posted about the 1st edition sell out times are correct.

All of our Black Friday launches happen at midnight. This is the first time that we're doing deck launches at midnight instead of 8PM. It's also the first time that there will be multiple decks available at once - 4 in all.

As for selling out, we don't know what to expect any better than you guys do! We have lots of the Blue, Red, and Green decks available, so they should hopefully last awhile. As mentioned earlier, there are only 5,000 black decks, and only 3,000 will be for sale. The rest are designated for contests and prizes. We do think the Black decks will go quickly, so I'd definitely recommend being on the site at launch time.

The initial plan for the Black decks was that they would only be available as prizes. Alex wanted to give people a couple of different ways to get their hands on the decks though, in order to be fair to everyone. So, there will be decks for sale for those who can be at the midnight launch. For those who can't be at the launch, there will be other ways to obtain the Black decks.

We appreciate all the support! We think we're offering some great stuff for the holidays, every single person who shops with the Blue Crown from Black Friday onward will get a nice freebie (or a few!) It's just our way of saying thanks for a great 2011!

Does that mean if I buy a brick of Black Crowns, I would get a few freebies?

Yes. Even people who order a single download will get something! Prizes can be viewed at http://www.thebluecrown.com/store

We're unveiling more prizes every day for the rest of the week!

Awesome! Sounds good! Just a couple questions. Can we see some pics of the Black crown deck please? And is the release basically 1 hour after 11pm thursday?

I'm afraid I don't have any pics that I can share currently. More will become available shortly.

Yes, our Black Friday extravaganza begins late night on Thursday (Thanksgiving) as we move into Friday. All times are EST (New York time). Don't wait until Friday night going into Saturday or you'll be a day late!

Great, Thanks for the clarification. I will probably be on my way back from visiting my family Thurs. at that time. Could you put a few Black Crowns aside from me?

The Day after Thanksgiving (When some of the first settlers came to the United States). That is when all the stocks go from the red into the black and is crazy for shopping and sales all across the U.S.

Thanksgiving is (for the U.S.) the 4th Thursday of November. The 24th, this year. Making this Friday, Nov. 25, Black Friday.

Not to be a nitpicker, but Thanksgiving actually took place AFTER the settlers arrived, perhaps by a few years. From Wikipedia:

"In the United States, the modern Thanksgiving holiday tradition traces its origins to a 1621 celebration at Plymouth in present-day Massachusetts. There is also evidence for an earlier harvest celebration on the continent by Spanish explorers in Florida during 1565, as well as thanksgiving feasts in the Virginia Colony. The initial thanksgiving observance at Virginia in 1619 was prompted by the colonists' leaders on the anniversary of the settlement. The 1621 Plymouth feast and thanksgiving was prompted by a good harvest. In later years, the tradition was continued by civil leaders such as Governor Bradford who planned a thanksgiving celebration and fast in 1623. While initially, the Plymouth colony did not have enough food to feed half of the 102 colonists, the Wampanoag Native Americans helped the Pilgrims by providing seeds and teaching them to fish. The practice of holding an annual harvest festival like this did not become a regular affair in New England until the late 1660s."

Haha sorry about that. I forgot most of the facts about it, and just wanted to give a short sentence to show somewhat what Thanksgiving was. Shows how much I remember.

Looking forward to the release!

Hopefully I will be able to pick up 3 or so before they sell out. It's times like these that I am happy to live on the west coast, means I do not have to stay up late for all of these 12am EST releases!

The Eastern Time Zone (US) is off daylight saving time, while the east coast of Oz still is. I'm assuming you're in the same time zone as Sydney. If so, you're 16 hours ahead of that TZ.

Friday 00:00:00 in New York City/US East Coast is
Friday 16:00:00 in Sydney/ Aus. East Coast.

I see little reason why you wouldn't be awake at four in the afternoon!

loldudex2 · « **Reply #48 on:** November 23, 2011, 09:53:31 AM »

I'm hopefully gonna pick up 15 of those to use and look good in my collection.

Evan · « **Reply #49 on:** November 23, 2011, 11:22:57 AM »

I don't have much money because I'm spending most of it on Ellusionist and Theory11 so I will probably just get 4 or 6 of the Black Crown decks
