LZY Deck (HOPC / Alex Pandrea)

[hsbc]

alexpandrea:
My BEST or WORST idea yet. The LZY Deck will drop NEXT WEEK in 10 variations. Can’t wait to see the reactions to this one ANY GUESSES??

Only making a thread for posterity and completion's sake Ten variations, and he seems to know how ridiculous that is IMO

For me HOPC is multiple tiers below Fontaine now

[Harvonsgard]

I nvr gt why ts nt lzy dck? R svngl fr tht mttr?

[hsbc]

At least with Svngali, it would be much more difficult to Google for "Svengali cards"

[Harvonsgard]

I can't say I'm not kinda shocked by this lol. It's rare that you have blunt honesty slapped in your face these days. And now even twice within a short period of time? Sheeesh.

I wonder if these recent moves to be 'in on the joke' are a sign this trend is beginning to play itself out.

[Entaro]

10 variations? Right after the 11 variation KS? And the recent announcement of the new noc series which is basically just a redo on colors they already did as far as I can tell...

[bdawg923]

Wow expect a lawsuit from the NOC decks

[kudospop]

The NOC mystery brick mess was around 1 year ago

[Kage X]

There's a review here

[Cardamon]

At least the effect looked cool.
But as I’m interested in art more I’ll pass

[Entaro]

Wait so the "10 variants" are ten "decks" of double sided colored paper? Lol

[Harvonsgard]

I love how Kier did manage to talk about this line-up that long and mentioned multiple times it's gonna be cheap but failed to name the price it'll be sold, lol.
The emphasis on "I don't even bother what's on them while fidgeting" is lulz too.
If they aren't cheaper than Copag310s then this is a fail.

No front design, just backs? Aroundsquare did this years ago with their Concept deck except it was more interesting



And I'll never be convinced by the whole "don't want to use your regular cards? These are cheap!" thing -- just pick up some standard Bikes to practice?? There's no way these will be cheaper, none

[rousselle]

These look nice enough, but 1) since there are no faces to these cards, they are useless for my purposes, and 2) HOPC has lost credibility for me as a vendor. Others may feel differently, and more power to them. I don't want HOPC to fail. But, I would prefer if they dealt a little more honestly with their customers than they have in the recent past. (Pun intended.)

Not to mention besically the whole cardistrytouch line-up, Duo by lotusinhand, Bicycle Neon, Copag Alpha, ...
To their defense. None indeed had the guts to just do one solid colour, lulz.

Exactly my point, I doubt they'll be cheaper as $5 + shipping since Cartamundi to my knowledge is the most expensive producer and I doubt Alex had the guts to order a big enough print run so that they'll be cheap due to sheer mass.

[STLBluesNut]

at least this shit has an accurate deck title. what in the sister f%^&ing tarnation?

[hsbc]

The 10 pack works out to $4.40/deck before shipping, which isn't awful, but the price to beat is $16/brick IMO (mixed brick of Bicycles at Sam's or Costco) How much do retailers pay for regular Bikes? e.g. Walmart? Tannen's? PCD?

[hsbc]

Found a deck of these for $3.00, which pushed me over the edge

[STLBluesNut]

not even for $3.

[Harvonsgard]

If you gimme $10 it might push me over the edge.

[STLBluesNut]

its still a hard sell lol

[Harvonsgard]

Indeed. That's why I wrote might.
