This is just Window 1
Window 2-5 are coming with more stocks, and some reveals of the decks "MINDBLOWING" designs

Don't forget the occasional "private stock" sale, hahaha.

I work in mental health dealing with suicidal individuals and Zach posted a picture of someone's head blown off on his Instagram story during the initial announcement. I can't say for sure but it looked real. This did not sit well with me at all.

What kind of ignoramus is this guy? It seems at this point his motivation is solely profiteering.

It doesn't help that Kardify and the like write articles and give him free advertising, although I wouldn't be surprised if he paid for it either.

I love me a good exaggoration but some folks in here gotta chill for real. The bias in here is so strong with some fellows that the best Yoda meme couldn't even come close to showcase how strong the bias is.
Zach does nothing a Tarantino movie didn't ages ago.

The head exploding is the idea that: the cards design are so “MINDBLOWN” that if you don’t see them with protective glasses, your head explodes. I agree, the story idea is a lot of CRINGY (including the scene where a patron literally p**ping outside the store and horse meat EW). After seeing the shown four designs at the moment, the design is just… not even reach a medium standard (like an elementary student designed it with that cringy arts).

End note about this project: that monkey snob kid HAVE SPENT a lot of money to create all those footage with custom props and all, but the cards……. Its 99% on the “marketing”, 1% on the cards. “We don’t give a **** of the design, cuz these suckers are gotta get it”

Do excuse Kardify - even with some decks that are considered bad and pretentious (looking at you, ARK), Kardify will still cover them as their objective is to broadcast news about decks no matter how some of them are not worth to be promoted. Can’t do much about it.

Messy screenshots from the 5000s video Part 2: Back is 4x4 grid of outline rounded squares with red Fs. Front face is all full background orange color with black graphics

Back is looked like a small scaled diagonal black/white rectangular pattern with red Fs. Face is all white with all black graphics - red pips are turned black.

Back is a yellow background with retro-esque graphic of a tiny island with a palm tree in green (one way design)

Blockbuster color scheme - full blue background with yellow border and yellow Fs. Black pips are turned red. An user posted in IG - Introducing this one as "Fellow"

Back is a blue background with white stars and white Fs.
An user posted in IG of how the box looked like - screaming punk with red and white striped = possible it is "USA"

Still biting my tongue trying not to comment, but I'm almost out of tongue lol. (no pun intended)

The last time I saw something funny in one of the fontaine threads, was when someone hit a fontaine deck with a lawn-mower. Those where the glory days Brad . Nowadays they read like a scream for help (or a support group) from people with way too strange feelings towards a brand.

Another reveal is made: this time is all of the Commons I think the top left is "USA" - bottom left is "Crazy Rat" - top right is "Insect" - bottom right is "Bad Boy"

And JEEZ, what is with the exploding head in the end? We get it, the story said that the cards are "AWESOME" that you need glasses to wear them or else your head explode, and you have showed it before - do you NEED to show it everytime lol.
SPOILER ALERT: The designs are just normal or just plain SO LOW effort from its GRAND videos, no need that glasses BS and you head exploding crab. More SPOILERS! - your brand is dying!

These are all the backs for the 5000s
Borderless is cool, but not cool if it is locked behind ultra rare gate

Who made this infographic? What an odd way to order the ultra rare category. Heat vision is my favorite but I will not pay the prices required to obtain it. SPF is cool too. I'm not calling that one Fellow, no sir. It's Blockbuster tyvm.

Ain't fallen for that malarkey XD because my head is already exploded due to the boy just released this BEFORE he finished up with the 5 Pre-Orders

I have no idea, but whoever did it is probably on cracks.

Pffffttt

The store closed with some of the stocks still available. LOOOOOOOL, people had fed up with the Blind Pack BS - and he OWES the fulfillment of 5 Pre-Orders!

What a complete load of utter crap. I will never own a Fontaine deck. If given one, I will immediately give to my local charity shop.

I'd take it

I like the Rip-n-Dip decks, and did receive a chocolate fontaine unexpectedly in a half brick - it sits on my portfolio 52 page as an anomaly, but its welcome to be there

PSA: Silver grid for 75 at socal, Edit:Red for 225

With the entire website having a 17% off sale today, it's $62.25. In the last month on eBay, the deck has auctioned for $51 and a best offer accepted below $55, while also selling for $80 and $84. With the sale, this would be on the lower end of that spread, so do with that what you will.

Fontaine Apologized For Delay of Fontaine Foils

Fontaine added, as a token of their appreciation, each Fontaine foils customer waiting will get 1 free 5000 deck shipped for free.

"Each foils customer waiting will get 1 free 5000 deck shipped to you for free, THIS week! Regardless of your order qty. We’re covering the deck cost and shipping cost, as we want you to at least have some kind of new Fontaine deck to open and play with during this wait!"
