looks sweet Jay. I wish I had pledged for more but then again I still haven't gotten the one deck I did pledge for. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Fists full of furry creatures aside, I like how restrained his signature is on the box. A respect for his own art that I find lacking in the ones that scrawl all over the tuck box.

Crazy how they eat the fish's tongue and then basically become the fish's tongue.

I didn't think anything else could top the Aurum Laser Cut, but this definitely does. Paul Carpenter just took these to a completely different level. That pearlescent black stock + hand foiled design = :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :ucstar: :ucstar: :ucstar: :ucstar: :ucstar:

I almost missed it, because i thought it was just a three deck pack (two of tendril ascendant, and one of nightfall), but I'm so glad I got it. :D

Sher, glad you posted those recently acquired decks. I took photos of my Seasons boxed sets also, but they didn't come out too clear. That has to be my most expensive pledge, but worth every dollar. It truly is a beautiful set of cards & boxes. I also got the Seasons coin which is sooo nice. The Tendril set you got there I initially pledged for then I eventually downgraded my pledge.

Hey everyone this is what I received in the mail today, ohh yaa!!! I was able to get 2 more Kung Hei Fat Choy (Bee) decks :drool: , my contact tried his best to find as many as possible, so I have a total of 3 now, If any one is interested I am willing to let these rare decks go, for a trade/sell, just let me know, I will prob put them on Ebay in the next few weeks if I don't get a good offer. one of the pictures is with the flash the other is without, its hard to explain what the decks look like, you need to see them in person.

Found this one thanks to Rory Rezzelle.
A deck from the McKittrick Hotel: http://the-mckittrick-hotel.myshopify.c ... ucts/cards" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The box is thicker than normal because there are actually 58 cards (note the extra no. 13 cards).
The courts are nice but, repeating. The image on the box is the back of the cards.
The cards themselves are smooth finish and 'meh' quality.
However, the Aces are great and overall it's an interesting deck!

Approx how long between date of purchase and date of delivery? Hope it wasn't much. Back when I got a set for myself and some for Paula I had to hound them for weeks to actually get them to ship. Paula's order was the worst with a month wait time. I can literally take the train there and they couldn't be bothered to ship them! :lol:

They took three months to ship for me and only after I escalated a PayPal dispute. They also somehow charged me $25 extra than what I authorized (not sure how they did that). Haven't been able to look at the cards, I'm still so mad about the whole thing. .... So, unless you LOVE that design, I wouldn't purchase anything from them.

Wow. I'm shocked. I had not heard of them before.
I placed an order on the 15th. They shipped the 17th and I received them on the 22nd.
I just double checked my PayPal account and no extra charge or anything out of the ordinary.
It was a smooth transaction. :shock:

I had to escalate to PayPal to get them to ship me my deck too. Before I did, I sent the several e-mails which they never bothered to answer.

DragonSoul's post one page back. The Sleep No More/McKittrick Hotel deck. :)


I was phoning and emailing them twice a day for weeks and they kept bouncing me around or not even answering. It was ridiculous. One reason the manager gave me was backorder. That's all they needed to say to make me cool off but during the month long barking I did, they only let me know until the day they actually shipped them. 99% of the time I got nothing but radio silence.

Looks like they might have fixed that terrible service as per DragonSoul's experience.

Things like this just roast my nuts, and I am not talking about chestnuts...

They can add a reasonable amount - supposed to be only one reason - for shipping, but since I have seen the site and it calculates shipping, I don't see any reason for them to do so.

Despite the torment, I suspect that the deck was put of stock, Lord only knows who printed them. The added charge - no excuse. I would chase them down with a (nerf) mallet.
