Bicycle WWII
I haven't seen this one posted yet. Apparently it's now being officially advertised as a Bicycle deck. I thought Robert's new project would be ambitious but this one with 24 different decks is even more so. Unfortunately the goal of $3500 is absolutely no where near enough to cover the expenses of 24 Bicycle decks of cards, not to mention shipping and other addons. This seems like a major red flag to me based on what we know. The goal would probably have to be like $200,000 for that many different decks! Also first time creator who probably hasn't done any homework on the costs from the looks of it. The cards are interesting, aside from the back designs being one way (and what is up with that Canadian deck?), but it seems to have more questions than answers at the moment regarding costs so I would be wary of backing it.

Re: Bicycle WWII
The number of typos in the project description is another red flag for me, and I find it difficult to believe that there's ever going to be a Bicycle-branded deck with a back design featuring a swastika.
It's an interesting idea, but just way too ambitious to try to do all the countries at once. Even if the funding was sufficient to print them all, most collectors won't want to spend the money to get all 24 decks, and having the typical all-or-nothing collecting mentality won't want to settle for just one.

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.

Re: Bicycle WWII
This is the text at the end of the project page...
"We have already completed the designs and had them sent over to our distribution center. Who are currently awaiting a go ahead to begin printing."
When I first saw the project, it actually said MPC, but it seems that the creator has removed it...regardless, their distribution center is USPC? What a joke!
