Hello everyone!

I'm the lead graphic designer at Pocono Modern. A big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and support! We've added a few more add-ons to the Kickstarter Campaign! You can now pick up a $9 "Woodland Deck", a discounted Raccoon Joker Poster, and a new 18"x24" Joker screen print. There's also an opportunity to get a FREE Woodland Deck if you share on social media. Check out the Kickstarter for details. As always, please let us know if you have any suggestions or comments.

Thanks!

Joe

It makes me sad too. I was really looking forward to these.

He made it to $10k, which is enough to print one deck. The safe route would've been to do one deck first and the second deck as a stretch goal.

Totally agree, but which one??? Hopefully enough people notified them of what one they wanted so they know which one is more popular. Retro orange/grey I hope.

I wonder if this was advertised to the retro communities. I have no idea who/where they are, probably hundreds of them and many may not be on the internet much, but there's a lot of people that grew up at this time who would love to have a retro deck like this to play with in their shag carpet panel walled basements. :lol:

I really loved this deck too, hopefully they will come back again after the holidays. It really is a bad time right now with all the decks and holidays, but I wonder how many more will be popping back up in early January.

I think it doesn't help that they tend to be unwilling to check their comments section of their KS to assist backers. :P Also, Grey as a major color, that tends to be a turn off for some people. Retro styling has a lot of pros to it, but coloring comes into play as well. We're really just a very small opinion, there has to be a large draw to window shoppers to click their way through the back this project buttons.

I wanted this to be a success as well, I really like the light deck a lot.
TL:DR It's completely up to you.

Looks like this deck will be produced after all. From a KS update:
Hi everyone - It's been a little over a week since our campaign ended and we have been reviewing all of our options on how to get this deck made. In the end, we were able to borrow the necessary funding to produce one of the decks NOW with the hope of doing the second one after we have sold a bunch of them. Based on the demand we saw in the campaign, the colored deck seemed to be more popular, so we are moving that into production with the USPCC right now. Once we pay back the production costs, our hope is to do the white faced deck and complete the set.

For those of you who told us that you would still want to purchase the deck, we want to let you know that we are offering it for PRE-ORDER on our website. Please make sure to select International Shipping options if you are outside the US.

If you have any questions, please drop me a line. We look forward to getting these into your hands as soon as possible.

Thanks again for all the support.

Here is the pre-order link: http://e3.kickstarter.com/mpss/c/3AA/6T ... 8otQ-3D-3D" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And there is also a discount code to bring the price down to $12 (like it was in the KS) but the last time I posted something here that I wasn't supposed to, i got in trouble. So I guess PM me...

While I liked both, but I preferred the white one. And the discount code isn't exactly secret, the Kickstarter update is public. :)

All I got was the kind offer to buy them for $15 a pop and I passed with very little thought required.

No problemo! With all the tips I pick up from other people here, I'm glad I can "give back" every once in a while.

Me three! and Me Too on missing Eb's haha.

I went a head and picked up a handfull of the grey retro decks when Pocono Modern. I've been enjoying them but the one that really drew me were the white deck. I think it's very striking and has a great vibe to it. just a bit crispier than the grey to my eye. I'm excited to see this re-launch also thrilled to see they are offering that snappy collectors box as an add-on again. Good stuff and on top of it all, the tiers make much better sense this go round so I'm not so bummed about missing an EB.
