Part 3.

Woohooo!!

Finally, something for the gambling sleights person! Finally, something that is superior to the bee deck in terms of design and paper quality. Finally!

Everything about this deck gets the thumbs up from me.

By the way, the joker looks like the boss character Shinnock from the Mortal Kombat video games. Hahaha!

I'm looking forward to March 2016

Thanks JJ, ha - you're right about the MK character

A few more shots of the proofs and some news on pre-orders.

Available strictly during the pre-order stage only, numbered matching sets of all 4 colours and a matching dealer coin. (see shot below). 99 sets only will be available for sale.

Part 2.

Paul, those proofs really are stunning -- every single one of those tucks look amazing!

Even though you stated earlier in this thread that your vision for this deck was for it to be a "value for money" deck, it currently looks a lot more like an expensive high end deck. Very nice

That's still my intention, absolutely - but unfortunately as the pound has dropped sharply against the dollar, they will cost more to print and as such I won't be able to keep it quite as low as I'd hoped, but they will still represent the best value of any LUXX so far.

I should add, that whilst the price won't be as low as perhaps we first wanted in GBP, in USD it probably will look much lower simply because of the exchange rate, we are aiming for £6.99/£6.49 so if the current rate stays the same they will be approx $10 USD. Which is without a doubt the best price we've been able to achieve so far. Factor in free worldwide delivery for orders over £50 and they're great value, in my opinion.

In an era when decks like this are going for more like $12-$15 a pack plus shipping, yes, that's a good deal.

Thanks Don, we think so too.

HolyJJ · « **Reply #34 on:** February 02, 2016, 07:21:47 AM »

Over here in the UK £6.99 (and definitely £6.49) is about as good a deal as you can get for a custom deck of cards -- and when it's an LPCC or EPCC deck, the whole deal becomes even better.

Paul, I've seen the preorder page for the LUXX Elliptica over at JPPlayingCards, and it looks cool so far. Do you have any plans to put up a pre-order page for split bricks, just like you did with the previous LUXX releases?

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #35 on:** February 02, 2016, 12:14:48 PM »

Yes absolutely, but it definitely won't be less than £6.49 per deck. The brick box (same as Palme) will be free though.

Paul,

Would you consider to put some of the stocks on the LPCC's website? Then the customers in Asia (like me) could enjoy lower shipping cost.

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #37 on:** February 02, 2016, 04:07:26 PM »

You can't get lower cost than free delivery (orders over £50 of course) but I'm afraid Legends will not be selling this edition of LUXX, sorry.

Oh, sorry I overlooked. It's "worldwide" free delivery for orders over £50. That's great. Thanks.

So is there a date for the pre-sale yet? The anticipation is killing me!

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #40 on:** March 21, 2016, 11:48:39 AM »

Pre orders are likely to be either March 31st or April 1st (TBC),

A little extra' info below:

- 50 Matching Numbered Split Bricks will be available here: http://jpplayingcards.co.uk/luxx-elliptica-playing-cards-matching-split-brick
- 99 Matching Numbered Sets (all 4 colours, plus matching dealer coin) will be available here: http://jpplayingcards.co.uk/luxx-elliptica-matching-set-4-numbered-decks-and-a-matching-dealer-coin-99-sets-only

The 99 sets will be numbered from 002/1000 through to 100/1000 and we will allocate them in the order they are purchased. So the first to order will get the 002/1000 set and so on.

If you have already added your email to the standard deck page (http://jpplayingcards.co.uk/luxx-elliptica-playing-cards) you will be notified FIRST about all 3 pages going live at least 20 minutes before anyone else on this thread, social media, newsletters, etc.

Any more questions, let me know!

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #44 on:** April 19, 2016, 10:05:48 AM »

The decks are nearly here, and should land any day now. We'll be starting despatch once we've paired up (alot of) matching sets!

Thanks to everyone that made this the most succesfull LUXX pre-order to date.

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #45 on:** April 28, 2016, 10:40:32 AM »

Just a quick update on Elliptica. The below update would have been received by email the last few days for anyone who pre-ordered.

--------

Thanks again for your pre-order. We just wanted to update you to let you know that a slight delay has occurred at the UK port, and we now expect to be despatching your parcel by Monday, 9th May. We'll do our best to get orders out to you ASAP, and as usual they will be despatched in the order received.

Please accept our apologies for the slight (6 day) shift in the shipping deadline, but also note we're aiming to be completed by that date.
