Live. Go get 'em!

Damn, didnt notice the 1st edition :/
Edit: Thanks Paul for updating my invoice

I'm in for a split brick as usual.

Thanks for the support as usual folks, we've sold around 30 of the 99 sets if anyone is interested.

Just over 60 of the matching sets now gone, if you''re looking to pick one up it's almost definite they won't be available after pre-orders.

Hi folks,

Sorry for spamming the thread, but just to let you know that the pre-order window will close this Friday evening, 15th.

We have 16 matching sets with numbered decks & coin left if anyone is still looking, we will make what's left available when they are officially released but they will be £45 as opposed to £35.99.

The decks are nearly here, and should land any day now. We'll be starting despatch once we've paired up (alot of) matching sets!

Thanks to everyone that made this the most succesfull LUXX pre-order to date.

Just a quick update on Elliptica. The below update would have been received by email the last few days for anyone who pre-ordered.

Thanks again for your pre-order. We just wanted to update you to let you know that a slight delay has occurred at the UK port, and we now expect to be despatching your parcel by Monday, 9th May. We'll do our best to get orders out to you ASAP, and as usual they will be despatched in the order received.

Please accept our apologies for the slight (6 day) shift in the shipping deadline, but also note we're aiming to be completed by that date.

Stand by your Mailbox as LUXX ELLIPTICA is on it way

The Luxx series from JP`s Playing Cards grows from strength to strength with the addition of the Elliptica set designed by Randy Butterfield. Well done Randy, Paul and everyone at Jp`s fantastic cards

Thanks for sharing Despatch of pre-orders will be complete tomorrow folks.

Mine arrived to me in Texas yesterday. Stellar job, Paul and Randy!

Mine just arrived today (Seattle area).

Om nom nom.

I *love* these decks. Love, love, love them.

Also, just received Randy's Grinders and Brimstones last week. Om nom nom. The tucks on the Grinders are fantastic, and the Brimstone decks... those backs are droolerific.

So, congrats to JP and Randy... you guys hit this one right out of the proverbial ballpark. Elliptica (and Brimstone) join Palme, et al, among my absolute favorites.

Clean up on aisle three!

Today I got to see the finished Decks in person, for the first time. They turned out great Paul!!

My daughter, Violet, confiscated a Purple Deck right away!
I'm hosting a neighborhood Poker Game this weekend, so there will be some Elliptica and Grinders Decks in use.

Thanks, Randy

We are down to less than 30 decks left folks, a handful of sets with dealer coins are available (we held some back incase of problems during the original release) and 2 sets without dealer coins are left. These will be taken from sale on Sunday and kept in reserve if they don't sell. Thanks again for your support.

We have every intention of making them the most affordable LUXX so far, but perhaps not as much as we'd like - the pound is much closer to the dollar these days so it's a bit more challenging.

Hi Paul,
congratulations that they sold that well. I also enjoy my matching set. Since I like them and especially elegant non bordered decks I would like to stock up, so I would like to ask how your plans are of future reprints of these in case you know more already.
thanks

That's a good question. In short, we're not sure. The rising costs of the Taiwan printer coupled with the weak pound make them more expensive to produce, and we'd probably have to maintain a permanent £9.99 ($12.50) price tag (that's what they are now) without much in the way of early pricing - at least not as much as usual.

If we did reprint, then we'd probably lose the seals and maybe drop one colour and introduce another.
