Crap! I didn't get an early bird. Randy, I thought we were friends! Where is the heads up on the UC about starting a Kickstarter. I don't mind though. I think early birds maybe a fad on Kickstarter. So, you got 9 days. I bought 2 decks. One to open and one to save. I don't know maybe we need a 3 deck option. One to give.... Your next after 2 decks is 6.



Put a video on. BadPete's is a good choice. UV bowling has changed since I've done it. Someone link the article to 52+ Joker. You have a good story and you can make this a F@#$ You deck to Universal Studios. Post it. I would personally like to pay for the 1 deck and postage to Universal Studios. Just PM me the charge and I'll up my pledge to be required.

The heads-up was for Backers of the Red and Black Bowl-A-Rama Decks. I did a Backers Only Update last night announcing the project and launch time, and then again when the project launched. As a Thank You to the Bowl-A-Rama Backers, I didn't post about it anywhere until a couple hours after it was Live.

I'll pass on sending any finished Decks to Universal. That would be like poking and angering an 800 pound Gorilla for no good reason!

Thanks, Randy

So it looks like @jerichoholic added the Red deck without images. Victor, please note that this PREVENTS those with contributor access from adding a fully qualified entry or updating yours, including not being able to add proper images. Reminder to all, please do not add new decks if you can't take the time or have a proper scanner for this reason. Since people have been adding to collections I don't want to delete, but if anybody has the deck and could kindly post front and back scans I can update the entry. Thanks

Back to the topic, I did get the black deck, but the cosmic one is just so much more fun I'm afraid I'll neglect the standard one now. Still, a neat concept and well executed.

Randy - I reviewed your cards. You get :ucstar: :ucstar: :ucstar: : 3.0 for Playability. 3.0 for Creativity and 3.0 for WoW factor. Love the pin red and Black on the Joker indices. You can distinguish it from a far and near.

Usually, if you go with traditional court theme they are at least holding something, but in this case it works...

I did get a damaged deck, but that deck is my open deck. My save deck was not damaged. I will not seek a replacement, but I noticed your tuck box is loose and I fear others will have a damaged deck also. They only mailed it in a bubble mailer... The corners are not protected.

Notice the top left. That is not a beam going toward the pins. That is a crease. Might have been a neat effect if it connected with the solar system ball. :drool: It's a curve ball.

If you get a lot of replacements use the indestructible box. Jackson uses them and I use them. Only problem is you have the buy 100 of them and the cardboard adds weight. it's now more than ¾ inch thick and makes it a parcel, but the corners are protected.

Hey Sprouts,

I'll send you a replacement Cosmic Deck, when I get some in Indy (I haven't actually seen the finished Decks yet).

Legends handled all of the fulfillment from Hong Kong, so I had no idea if they used Boxes or Bubble Envelopes for one or two Deck orders.

Will you be in Orlando in a couple months?

Thanks, Randy

Randy - It doesn't look like it this year. My job is being very difficult. I would really like to go when I have a new demo deck. They still need to sweep the cobwebs off the old website I wonder who will win CTD or CC? They need to strike a balance of paper vs digital. That video below sure is dark. Guess that guy didn't know what he was doing... ;)

Looking at your tuck box again. That sure is a roomy tuck box. Like I said, I'm satisfied with the product that I got. No replacement needed...
