Re: Bicycle - Canada edition... eh?

I'd like to see someone make a Canadian currency deck similar to Jackson's currency deck. Canadian money is so much nicer looking than it's US counterpart and would make a beautiful deck.

Re: Royal Optik by Uusi now live on Kickstarter

Uusi decks are the cream of the crop and never fail to deliver. They are the only designer I will consistently buy from on KS. Once their deck series is over I'm going to be inconsolable for some time.

Re: Federal 52 Part 2 - A NEW Bicycle Playing Card Deck now

Am I the only one that's annoyed by ridiculously priced "Limited Edition" Black box deck? I am assuming the actual deck is the same as the regular Reserve Note deck, since there's only pictures of the box. 10000000% Agree. The sheeple on KS are literally paying $40 for a black tuck box. N...

Re: A few failed Bicycle KS decks...

Personally I really liked the "Lincoln" deck. It was a fairly well designed deck that needed a couple minor tweaks to make it appeal to a wider audience. I think he tried twice and didn't have the time for a third.

Re: Bicycle Army Men -- Kickstarter COMPLETE!

Full refund as well. Let's not kid ourselves, it's only after legal action had some traction that he refunded the money. I guess that's the key to dealing with these poorly run projects of late.

Re: Debunking the Myths: Using USPCC & Kickstarter

Thanks so much for posting this very detailed information Mike. It was to say the least a real eyeopener on what's really going on behind the scenes. It's sad that lately well managed projects like yours have become rarer than the gong shows that seem to be increasing lately.

I really feel nothing for this deck. It's like you took a standard Bicycle deck and edited it. Easy pass for me.

Another must buy. +2 for reasonable shipping rates, or separate Canadian/International rates.

Re: Bicycle 'Federal 52' - LIVE on Kickstarter

In Jackson's last update he said he's refusing to sell these wholesale. Bad news for a lot of people who were hoping to avoid the ridiculously overpriced international shipping.

Re: Bohemia by Uusi - Kickstarter Successful

The good folk at Uusi really know how to run a Kickstarter campaign. Great quality, great design, fast service. When you have examples like this where they fulfill the shipping in a timely manner, then there's really no excuse for anyone else. I can't wait to see what their 3rd deck looks like! Abs...

Re: The Galaxy fun continues Flowers Ninja Funding on Kickst

I think even a flat $100 would cut down the trash that goes up now. I do not look on KS for anything other than decks so I have no idea if they are having this issue everywhere or just with the decks. It's definitely not just decks that are cheaply and poorly thought out on KS. The amount of ugly s...

Re: Federal 52 - A NEW Bicycle Playing Card Deck on Kickstar

The shipping cost on this is ludicrous for international backers. I live in Canada and I know it doesn't cost $14 to ship two decks here.
