D&D + Bruce Lee = Deck

[CBJ]

Taken from the Club 808 interview with Dan and Dave:


"we can officially say that we have a collaboration with the Bruce Lee Foundation, for an official Bruce Lee deck of playing cards."

If someone else did this, I'd be ecstatic. D$D already had the yellow Chinatowns, which were somewhat of a tip of the hat to Bruce Lee. Someone remaking a theme they've half-assed before just makes things less exciting. But if they can manage to do it justice and Fulton stays away, I'll be happy.

Why do you guys hate Brad Fulton so much, did I miss something??

[volantangel]

D&D put up a few pics yesterday. Looks like chinatowns game of deaths but with a black and yellow face, a signature of bruce lee. Hmm and gold deck stays ?!

[MagikFingerz]

Bah, that's nothing more than I expected. Oh well.

[volantangel]

Here you can see the front of the tuck box. Really boring deck imo.

[Mirror]

I like the box for some reason, but the faces aren't my cup of tea. I'll probably pass on these.

[Naxx]

A blue deck of cards can be seen behind the deck stray. Could be this

[montecarlojoe]

I like the idea, but why go full bleed on the faces and keep the white border on the back - THAT seems lazy, especially as they normally like too be seen to cater for performers.

If they had gone full bleed yellow and incorporated the black band motif on the back (like Empire) I'd be in like flynn. As is... meh.

Nope pretty sure the deck behind the deck stay is the Monarchs Deck.

[volantangel]

Nope i think Naxx is right, that might be a new deck from D&D. Monarchs dont have that colour nor that seal. The colour is exactly that of the poster D&D posted. Might be interesting. Plus why would D&D use a deck other than theirs ?

more pics from DnD:





Looks abit lazy and cheesy IMHO. Expected more really.

[th4mo]

Yep, color me unimpressed...

No pictures of card backs or courts?

[sqratch]

Not for me.

[Sharpie]

If you look a few posts up, you can see the backs (a little blurry).
They look identical to the G.O.D. Chinatown Deck.
I wish the yellow had been included in the borders... to tell them apart easier.

The indices font looks different, though. But who knows if the courts will be.

I'm a huge fan of Bruce Lee and I feel this half-assed offering is actually disrespectful to his memory.

[Widdee]

I was intrigued until I saw the faces. What do they have to do with anything? If I put those in with my Fulton's they'd jump up and run out the door.

I agree. Just putting some pics of him on the ad cards is at novelty level at best.

[Firthetic]

They look like a lazier version of the Best Made deck, i.e. if all the cards were Jacks.

Yeah, i saw the blurry photos up top... in my opinion that doesn't count...

This might be the worst deck D$D ever released. Those pics of BL look like clip art. I can't believe the backs have white borders but the faces are full bleed yellow. And why the hell is this deck yellow in the first place? What does this color scheme have to do with BL? Is it a racist choice because BL is asian?

But of course this deck will be ultra limited (if you don't count the hundreds bricks waiting to be discovered in D$D attic). Where are all the D$D fanboys now? I want some of those fuckers to come here and defend this shit oozing out of the Buck$ ass cracks. When was the last really good deck produced by D$D? I can't even remember anymore......

It's from his suit in Game of Death.

For me it was the Fantastique

[alric]

@MagikFingerz - ah, that makes sense.

@comicsecret - Fantastique was definitely a cool deck, I actually liked the Clip Joint, the only decent Fulton deck, and these two were released a loooong time ago. Everything else has been downhill ever since.

[Firthetic]

It looks like there are words on the black bar in the middle - probably quotes from Bruce Lee.

That along with the obvious one-way "BL" they added to the back only makes it more novelty-like to me.

[phantom1412]

14.95$ a deck???

[PlayingCardz]

14.95$ a deck???

Yes, i really don't know what to say ...

[cosmicsecret]
