$2500 goal?
Why did they need to create a new account for this campaign?
$60 bricks? What? WHAT???
Is this more like a preorder rather than a funding thing? Or do they need some extra funding behind the scenes for shipping or whatnot?

Once I get these questions answered, I'm so in. Never was a fun of the Skull deck, but wow these colors look great.

Not my cup of tea, but I am sure it will sell!

Godzillion - very similar to the Yellow & Green Dragon Back Bicycle decks they ran before, but that was prior to them using KS - much. No biggie, nor different from what Lotrek and I did with Gold Venexiana, except for the price.

Hey Guys,

This is a limited edition deck and certainly has few improvements to the original as we always wanted to see Bicycle Skull deck in Tally Ho viper color & orange is kind of different and is rarely used in playing cards so wanted to try it out as well.
Regarding lower funding goal. We needed 500 of each of these decks for our store which would not be enough to bear the full printing & fulfillment cost therefore we need Backers support on KS. These would be retailing for more than KS pricing after the campaign.
Launched this on other account because Gamblers Warehouse is known for 100 percent customized playing cards so we did not want to break that trend.

Thanks for your support. Hope i have answered the questions...

Argh my eyes on the orange deck. I think some white on the court cards wouldn't hurt.

Yep :) I've pledged for 2 of each. The $60 brick is tempting though...

I dunno, this is a glaring orange I don't mind! I do think the Diamonds/Hearts need to be a different shade of Grey/Orange to separate themselves from the Clubs/Spades though.

Are we able to add on? I am looking for 2-3 of the Orange, not much of a fan of the silver.
10-4 over and out

Might not be a mistake. Lately I've been seeing quite a few Bicycle decks that open in the front. Dunno what that's about.

Unusual and kinky enough for me to pick up a split six.

These monochromatic pips are horrible for card playing and magic. For cardists or deck collectorsI would suppose the color isn't a problem.

Try doing an oil & water or Out of This World routine with these as a magician and your spectators will be thinking, "I suppose the straight jacket comes out next."

When you want to produce a deck that will be used as regular cards, you need to make a noticeable contrast between what are traditionally the black and red suits. These are a big "No Way" for me.

I agree. People just put stuff out there just to put stuff out there though I believe in the "cash cow" system. If the hearts were orange and spades were gray with the courts to match those, that'll be different. I wouldn't be surprised if they come out with different colors, anyone can.
