Oh boy - now there's going to be a first edition and a second edition, subtle differences between the packaging, etc. A fan boy's dream - or nightmare, depending on your perspective!

The decks are $40 without the box and $125 with. I don't know if that's an $85 box in my book. (Granted, you have to buy them with box to get them without box, so maybe some of the costs of the second set are added to the first?)

Where did $40 for the decks from?

If you pick up the box set you have the option of adding the decks only, one time only, for Forty clams. If you do, you can snag a couple free gifts as well. Mini red LTD deck for example is one. I don't remember them all, slept since then.

Picked up a boxed set and the $40 set too

I was a bit taken back by the production run being fairly limited, but at the same time I can appreciate that a lot of work must have gone into these. Probably explains why they were pumping out DM decks so much; their creative team were all busy making these

It looks like an interesting set, but I feel that box is over priced.

On the 52 proof whiskey deck I think there is a spelling error on the bottom of tuck where it says "aged 21 years play wisley" in a circle. should it be "WISELY" ? Not that my spelling is any better. I just wanted to point it out. Maybe I'm wrong..

Hey, it's only their SECOND misspelling of the series, right?

I bought both, the box and the extra pack. Too bad they didn't provide more photos...If the box was nice, like T11 wood engraved boxes, I was thinking to buy another box and an extra pack of 6 decks.

I don't know if is worth it to do another order now (only 5% BC) for another box and an extra pack of 6 just to resell them on ebay Europe or local maybe, just to cut a little from shipping costs which I may say again that are huge (for me). What do you think?

I hope to see more photos with the cards and the wood box too. I try to find a review on youtube, but nothing. Anyone?

I picked up the box set and the extra 6. Any pictures you want posted specifically? I can take a few and post them here directly.

mirciusx · « **Reply #88 on:** December 05, 2014, 12:16:49 AM »

Ace, kings, pimps, etc... or just spread them on a pad/table to see how it looks. I'm a little afraid that I bought something I have not seen before. My order is still processing...

Thanks a lot!

speedyy400 · « **Reply #89 on:** December 05, 2014, 12:19:24 AM »

Sorry I mistook what you had asked for lol I haven't open any of the decks. I'm going to keep them sealed. Sorry about that.

mirciusx · « **Reply #90 on:** December 05, 2014, 12:33:02 AM »

Ah, np. Thanks anyway. I hope someone on the huge internet to take some photos of this decks. I am interested in specially for White Wolf. I read that on 2015 this decks will be sold separately. I don't know if will be a 2nd edition or something different about them.

If someone knows a link to a review on youtube or to some photos, please post it. I am interested to make another order, but I don't know, like I said, if the box worth the money.

speedyy400, at least can you take one or more photos to the wood box or the box is sealed too?

speedyy400 · « **Reply #91 on:** December 05, 2014, 01:01:34 AM »

I put a couple of pictures up on Imgur. I'm not quite sure how to send you an invitation to see the album so I'm just going to post what is in my address bar and hope it works lol it won't let me upload here because the picture files are too large.

I hope that works.

I ended up uploading one more picture. It's another picture of the clasp that keeps it closed. I think it is probably the coolest yet smallest feature of the whole thing. You have to physically move the locking mechanism out of the way before you can open it up. The picture shows me doing so.

Thank you! I saw the photos of the box.

Just a thought, it seems that the box isn't so special and it doesn't worth the money. One box will be enough for me.

Just got mine... Definitely agree - box is not worth the money in the least... Enjoy the decks though... I particularly like the Absinthe backs...

speedyy400 · « **Reply #94 on:** December 05, 2014, 11:41:26 AM »

I agree. In hindsight, I probably could have done without it but oh well. Still a very cool set of decks to add to the collection. Helped me get the Inverted Kings in the process.

From my understanding, they will be for sale individually. They will be V2's and they all will be vertical tucks. The Disparos, and the Absinthe deck will not be horizontal tucks.

I talked myself out of this purchase not so much because of the cards but the cost of the box....basically not enough bang for my buck. I put the decks at $10 each, which I still think is a little high, but I was being generouse. So $120 for the decks (Grabbing the second set to offset the cost a bit), leaving $45 for the box............eh, wasn't feeling it.

But, I did end up with this set im my collection from my son for my Bday which was the day after release.........the box is not worth it, but it seems just a few things could have made it better. I can see they were trying to stick with the "Theme" but something as simple at moving the "Prohibition" branding to the outside would have been better and even some grooves to simulate a crate woulod have helped. it's a nice little set, don't get me wrong, but when your paying for it, it seems a bit off kilter cost wise.

If someone unpacked the White Wolf deck, please post some photos. Mine will arrive in just a few long weeks. Anyway, if someone will make a review will have a lot of views, that's for sure. I guess a lot of people are thinking about paying extra for the box or not. I was thinking to buy another box and extra decks, but...I saw the comments and I change my mind.

I don't understand why is this mysterious thing about this decks...no photos about the cards from this decks on E. It's just a marketing thing to sell the expensive wood box?

It looks like there's photos of all of the Decks' cards on the product page, including the White Wolf Deck (http://www.ellusionist.com/prohibition-6-deck-boxed-set-playing-cards.html). Definitely enough to get an idea of what the rest of the courts and faces look like.

Thanks, Randy
