VERY limited! 50 gold and 90 each red & blue. Limit one of each.

My MetalLuxe decks and t-shirt show "Shipped" now also, but so does the three MetalLuxe uncut sheets I just ordered 30 minutes ago.

Gold and blue uncut as well. Was kinda shocked they were still available since I wasn't able to log on until a bit ago. Only had one bar on my phone but was able to get them.

Yep, my questioning whether they were actually shipped was answered a couple of hours later with two shipping notes showing FedEx Saturday delivery.

Well, my cobalt deck and shirt arrived on Saturday. It's about time! :mrgreen:

I haven't opened the deck yet, so nothing to report on that side. I was going to but then I noticed the stamp/seal stated "FIRST RUN" (or "FIRST PRINT" can't remember) and I reconsidered.. :lol:

The shirt was just tossed in the box with the deck and looks/feels pretty decent. I'll end up wearing it out quickly as I have a feeling it'll make it into my regular t-shirt rotation almost immediately.

Anyone else get theirs?

Mine is coming Fedex Smart Post, which always takes forever for me; plus multiple carriers are involved. Supposed to receive my order on the 20th.

So both my order for the decks/shirt and separate order for the uncuts were both shown as shipped.. from Madison, WI ??? on Thursday 8/13 a the exact same time. 4:40PM. I live in Atlanta. The uncuts arrived Saturday morning, but my decks show that they went to KY and scheduled to arrive on Tuesday, 18th. Odd...

Which are better, these USPCC decks or MPC version of their foiled backs?

I'm guessing that means USPCC's third-party Printer is in Madison, WI!
Their third-party Printer handles any Tuck Box design that has any special features (Embossing, Debossing Foil, Interior Printing design). They only print Tucks without any special features on the USPCC In-House printers.

Thanks, Randy

Ahh. Thanks Randy!
So I just looked and Madison, WI is where a Zazzle branch is located. Shows a lot of screen printing done there for t-shirts as well, which would also make sense for the freebie shirt..

Now mine are estimated to be here on the 21st. Have I mentioned how much I dislike FedEx Smart Post? LOL

My decks and free t-shirt arrived today. A pleasant surprise as I was not expecting them anytime soon. I have not opened any of the decks, but they sure do look nice in person. I also really like the t-shirt color. Hopefully this will be a good sign that you will all receive yours soon.

Mine actually arrived last Tuesday, but I was out-of-state at the time. The tucks are nice with embossing, and the interior is foiled as well to the same color as the backs. An interesting note is that each deck comes with a card saying the stamping process is manual.

Those gold backs are hurting my eyes just by looking at them on the computer screen. :ugthink:
