They seem to be sold only in China, I haven't seen any information about them anywhere else.

Nice find! I'll see if Dave has or is getting these.

i like a few of these but mystery decks are not fun for me. some people dig it but i would rather know what i am getting and if i were interested in a set, i would rather buy 8 deck rather than buying 30 and have 22 duplicates.

Yah, fun like getting kicked in the balls.

I’ve had my mystery deck fun more than once, and been kicked a few places a few times - good, bad or indifferent, I’m trying to be done with both but glad to have chalked up the experience

I must be too frugal for I just think of mystery decks as buying sight unseen - as if

Do these come in some sort of packaging to hide what deck is inside?

Yes, they come in mystery packs, which can be purchased as singles, doubles and half bricks. I bought some half bricks and they were all full sets of the standard six except for one that had one of the limited decks. Another friend got the double packs and had a better hit rate of special decks.

These decks are being released by the China Bicycle Distributor and though I like the decks, this mystery deck thing is annoying as I don't want to have to deal with so many extras of these decks. It's not that I don't think I can sell them, I just don't want to hassle. Annoying

I think these are great and glad I bought them! Trying to inject some positivity to these forums. I think the negative and the criticisms outweigh the positive comments 5 to 1 anymore. And I am part of the negativity at times!

With 10,000 decks in just a few years, I do not think anybody could say that you are not a Positive collector browns!

Wait, wait, what? Your collection is in the five digits @brownsl? Like 10,000 different decks or copies? Not that one would be less impressive than the other but just asking for curiosity's sake.

That number is old. I think I am over 12,000 decks now, maybe 13,000, maybe more. That is just an estimate on how many boxes I have and how many decks each box holds. I REALLY need to get a proper inventory. That is not the number of unique decks as I have often bought multiples of decks I like.

All this time I thought the 10,000 in your profile was a joke
