Well, they all have been pictured, so I will spare everyone, but Dragon Dynasty, signed Frontier decks sets, Jackson's Tally-Ho, black Gatorbacks and RMTarot (8 & 41/100) have arrived.

My daughter brought me an assortment of cards from Disney World and World of Harry Potter. They all have unique, albeit repeating, courts. :D

Nice, DS!

The only one of them I have is the Haunted Mansion/Nightmare Before Christmas one.

Is the Star Wars one in the tin made by CartaMundi, and can you share some of these decks' courts with us?

I'm afraid the only thing they say is Made in China. The other four Disney decks all say Made in Malaysia.

I love Mickey and Minnie but, I wonder why they felt they had to throw in characters from Lilo & Stitch instead of sticking to other traditional Disney characters. They have some interesting pip arrangements.

Quick phone pics:

The back, Jokers, Courts from the Jedi deck, Courts from the Sith deck

Ha! Ha! Yeah, they have cleverly branded them all to say both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. (Except the Star Wars one. It just says Disney...and Lucasfilm.)

Cleverness such as this is just one of the reasons why the Lucas and Disney families are richer than...

Well, richer than me, for starters.

This may be a spoiler. Don't watch it if you plan on going to Disney soon... I love it when they say "We're Rascals, Scoundrels Villains and Knaves" Knaves are Jacks...

Don't usually post my acquisitions here,due to the fact that the majority of you bought the same thing.
But , since the decks I received were sent by UC members I felt I probably should post them to show they arrived and say thank you.
2 from Giovanni and 1 from Eoghann. I think you can figure out which are from who

I will open them up eventually, just haven't had a chance yet.

Any way

Hi everyone.. I'm a newbie here, but figured I would stop stalking this thread and actually post in it for once. :D

I haven't seen this particular deck posted (at least not in this thread), so I figured I'd throw my hat into the ring with it.. :mrgreen: Just picked it up a few days ago. They are plastic coated (wasn't expecting that), but still, the unique court cards made this one worth it..

Thanks for posting this - I just picked one up on eBay!

By the way, your user name reminded me: I have a friend who recently married, and her last name is now Furr. I told her that if she and her husband ever have a daughter, they should name her Lucy. :D

Thanks everyone. I have a lot of decks incoming ('Welcome to the insanity' indeed!), but I wanted to try and post something not everyone had seen before. Glad I could find one that fit the bill. :)

Awesome, glad you found one! I have no idea how I stumbled across that particular deck, but once I saw it I had to grab it. It turned out to be plastic coated cards (not a big fan of them), but the unique court cards made it worth it.

BTW: my real name is Brian, but I'll go by any name that you call me (well, almost... lol). I've been using this username forever and most people don't "get it" - I've had more people assume my name is "Lou" than you could imagine. Not that I mind, I just find it amusing. :)

Here's another one I just picked up. It's not "unique" as I'm sure plenty of people have this one, but since I fancy taking pictures and sharing, here's one of the Warrior Horse deck:

Brian:

Although most of my deck purchases over the last two years have consisted of every Bicycle-branded deck that I could find (resulting in my having somewhere close to three hundred different Bike decks), I have yet to get around to picking up the Bicycle Warrior Horse deck.

Between:
  1. It having standard courts,
  2. My disappointment over it not being more like 2013's (Year of the) Serpent deck and
  3. The mostly-negative reaction it got here on UC (mainly having to do with the deck's one-way back, IIRC) I have taken a pass on it, thinking that I would pick one up if they ever stock them at our local Walmart.

Y'know, the one-way back didn't really bother me that much, but the lack of unique court cards was kind of a bummer. I picked them up because I did like the design of the horse itself, the color on the backs, and it was a relatively inexpensive deck making it easy to pull the trigger - but I totally understand the complaints some would have about the design.

At the time was purchasing it, it was this or the Panda deck - and since I am not a huge fan of Pandas...... :mrgreen:
