Yowserz, how did you even manage to pick that up? I look at it for 5 minutes after you mentioned it and FINALLY saw it...

Feels more like a mistake than sth on purpose to me ?

There's also the center diamond. Look closely.

The center diamond one might be, but the corner one is most likely on purpose considering the ones who made it.

I give up, where in the center diamond?

Look at the lines connecting with it.

nice.

So, I asked Lawrence if all of the colors are being released at once, and this was his reply:

"Yeah! That's the plan. The colors look really good. Decks feel great. Stiffer and thinner than uspcc. Different finish. Great edges and still faro well. Waiting for the big shipment now. Another few weeks."

This is from Bill Kalush's instagram:

I got an update from Lawrence today:

"The Legends are printed and the quality is fantastic. Smooth edges with a thin and stiff stock. The artwork looks classic and crisp, with near perfect registration on the thin white borders.

There are 3,888 of each color printed, and a big chunk will be for my personal use, the rest will be sold. There are 10 uncuts in each color as well.

The tuck is Laminated, which gives it a different look and feel. The tuck is also thicker and more robust than a standard USPCC tuck. Best of all, the plastic seal actually opens the wrapper when you pull the tab" - Lawrence


These sound awesome!
And as you can see by the box, these are printed in Taiwan.

Not sure I like the idea of a laminated tuck.
Hope its a matte finish. Not glossy.

is there any info on where these will be sold?

Not buying cards from Taiwan (china) period.

oops my bad sometimes i dont think before i type haha

but in all honesty, i buy all decks, if the price is good. i try to buy any cheap deck i come across in dollar stores just for that very very slim chance i come across something amazing...will it ever happen? probably not. but if i remember correctly, absolut decks are made in china and those are sought after(if they arent chinese they definitely feel like it, but theyre still great)

I received these about a month before the release and I must say, I am impressed! It has a thin stock, slick finish, cool design, and thin borders! The cellophane pull strip thingy actually works which is awesome. The box has very light embossing and is kind of hard to feel. The box is also a bit flimsy but not terrible.

First impressions:

The finish is very slippery right out of the box and the stock is soft. The stock's stiffness is similar to Bicycle stock, but the stock is very thin, unlike Bike. Fans clump a bit, but I'm hoping that as I break in the deck, they won't clump as much. It spreads well, and it's great for pressure fans. The stock is springy which is good for springs.


I'll have a video review up when I break the deck in.

what site are we going to be able to order these from? im not sure if i should be following lawrencesullivan.com or another site since theres no info up anywhere official

I don't know for sure, but I believe they will be sold on http://www.lawrencesullivan.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

So I assume these are being made by the same company as the Moth Myth, Water, and Ren decks, should be pretty good then.

Evan, how could you not know where they will be selling these since you happened to have gotten some for free and have been feeding us information on it since the beginning. Also, I thought David Blaine was involved with this?

I don't think it's the same printer as those decks.

I don't know where they will be sold is because Lawrence hasn't told me. He's been sending me info and pics, but not everything.

CARC and Coterie will be carrying these, in fact we will make pre-order (and Legends + Coterie Bee combo) available very soon.

For the price its a steal, Legends is going to become a game changer...

I hope not. There are already waaaay to many new decks coming out nearly everyday. If now cards we collect are produced by more than 1 factory, this hobby is gonna go down in no time.

I don't see it that way...because I believe competition is essential and beneficial to consumers. It keeps designers/companies making innovations.

There are indeed many new decks coming out nowadays, but only good designs and high quality decks sell fast and well. It has nothing to do with how many manufacturers are out there, because it's always about the quality, design and marketing of the deck itself.

Legends (and its handfeel/paper stock) is a top notch deck in every aspect(especially the hidden properties), but it's not identical to USPCC decks, it's more like Pr1me deck. I like Legends a lot, but personally I still prefer to handle Aristocrat and Bee paper stock decks more.

Quicker than we have expected, pre-order starts now:
