2014 Black Friday/Holiday Specials and New Releases

Hi, all. I'm going to follow the same format I used last year to keep track of year-end deals and new commercial (i.e., non-KickStarter) releases. Please add to this list in your replies, and I'll update this first entry to try to keep it current. And here's a tip of the proverbial hat to Vasta41 for suggesting this (both last year and this year!), and volantangel who helped with the original formatting of the list.
  • Bicycle (http://shopbicyclecards.com/) -- Members of the Club 808 program who log in on Black Friday with their Club 808 e-mail address will receive a 25% discount on everything in the store (except for Club 808 membership itself), including a new deck, the Perspective Deck and the previously-unavailable-outside-Asia deck, the Bicycle Chinese Architecture Deck.
    UC thread on the Architecture Deck: http://www.unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6082.
    On the Perspective Deck: http://www.unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5847
  • The Blue Crown (http://thebluecrown.com/) -- On Friday, November 28th New deck, The Sky Island Decks.
    Kardify article: http://www.kardify.com/2014/11/exclusiv ... ys-by.html
  • Collectable Playing Cards (http://CollectablePlayingCards.com/) -- Their store is offering a 20% discount off your entire order for Black Friday weekend. Coupon code is BF14. They are also offering special pricing on their deck card frame and Banshees.
    UC thread: See ecNate's post below.
  • Conjuring Arts Research Center (http://conjuringarts.org/) -- New Decks, ZEN and Limited Royal ZEN, to go on sale on Black Friday, November 27th at 6pm Eastern Time. Black Friday deals were announced on kardify.com, including a dollar discount off each ZEN deck (i.e., $6.95) and a five dollar discount off the Limited Royal ZEN deck ($14.95) for Black Friday weekend only (6pm Thursday through midnight Sunday, Eastern Time). A special brick deal that weekend features 11 ZEN plus 1 Limited Royal ZEN in a new Premium Storage Box for $89.95. Other products will also be discounted as well, both on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

    Kardify article: http://www.kardify.com/2014/11/exclusiv ... black.html
  • Ellusionist (http://www.ellusionist.com/) -- Holiday specials from November 18th through December 31st, include giveaways at certain purchase dollar levels, and sweepstakes entries based upon number of orders placed. See details here: http://www.ellusionist.com/2014-holiday-giveaway-tiers/. As part of the kick-off for their holiday season, E also introduced a new deck series, The Prohibition Boxed Set, plus recolors of the new Kings line (available as "gifts" rather than as straight purchases, but listed as "Early Release," implying availability for purchase at some possible future date), and miniature versions of various other decks.
    UC thread: http://www.unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6050
  • Gambler's Warehouse (http://www.gamblerswarehouse.com/) -- Their store at http://playingcards.net/ is offering a 15% discount off your entire order November 24th-28th. Coupon code is BLACKFRIDAY. They are also offering a steeply discounted Gamblers' Warehouse Mix Brick for $50 (plus shipping). Official link for the mix brick sale: http://www.gamblerswarehouse.com/black- ... rick-sale/
    UC thread: See Alyooola's post below.
  • Handlordz (http://www.xtremehandz.com/) -- The cardistry shop is offering a 24-hour special sale on December 5th (starting at 11am, Denver time), featuring steep discounts throughout the store: "all DVDs, CDs, Playing Cards, all magazines, and all clothing will be just $5.00 EACH! All uncut sheets will be just $15.00 and all Secret Books will be 50% off!"
    UC thread: See sinjin7's post below.
  • Kings Wild Project (http://www.kingswildproject.com/) -- According to their Facebook page, Kings Wild will be offering "4 incredible deals that will be available this Friday" during their Black Friday Sale. The first publicized deal is a complete set of each deck of cards and dealer coins produced to date by Kings Wild Project (including limited editions), plus stickers, tuck cases, brick boxes, and an "Anything is Possible" bottle, for a grand total of $650 per set. A total of six of these sets are being made available for this sale. Other bundle deals and discounts are also being made available; see the thread below for more details.
    UC thread: See sprouts1115 and Cbkimble's posts below.
  • PlayingCardz (http://www.playingcardz.net/en/) -- Black Friday sales are already in effect. Use coupon code BLACKFRIDAY10 to get 10% off any order, or coupon code BLACKFRIDAY15 to get 15% off any order exceeding 150€ (not counting shipping fees and other promotions). Julien at PlayingCardz reports that these discounts can be used in combination with other existing sales/promotions. This promotion ends sunday 30 november at midnight, French time.
  • Theory11 (http://theory11.com/) -- New deck, Copper Rarebit, has been teased as going on sale on Black Friday via Twitter and their "Expose" video newsletter.
    UC thread: http://www.unitedcardists.com/viewtopic ... 5&start=20
So... what deals and new releases shall we add to this list? I will make an effort to update this list with new information at least once a day, in the evening. Thanks.

Last update: November 27th at 7:45pm, Pacific Time

No word on anything from Dan & Dave or Blue Crown yet? Hell Blue Crown seems pretty silent lately and haven't even delivered the Minimal deck which they sold almost 2 weeks ago.

I'm guessing the Red Gatorbacks will go on sale Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Club 808 Black Friday Sales
Black Friday is fast approaching! If you’re planning on perusing the VIP Shop or shopbicyclecards.com on November 28, here’s what you can expect as a Club 808 member:

25% off your entire purchase.
The ability to purchase the Bicycle® Chinese Architecture Deck, once available only to non-U.S. customers. A very limited number will be available on Black Friday.
The ability to purchase two-pack WSOP tournament decks that went unused at the 2014 World Series of Poker. While these will also be available to non-Club-808-members, you’ll still get the greater discount.
The release of the Bicycle® Perspective Deck, the first Club 808-branded deck.

EDIT: Feel free to add this to the 1st post to make the thread look nice :)

Thanks for putting this together! This is awesome and will help make sense of all the options and noise around all the upcoming promotions.

What is this deck mentioned? I can't find any information about it.

Unfortunately we are no longer doing pre-sales on our Gambler's page between our KS project end and before they hit the retail site @ pc.net :(

They will hit the retail site as soon as all rewards are fulfilled. We are still waiting to receive the colored decks.

I need to fix the links on the website but have been pretty overwhelmed with the UU release and getting everything ready for the holidays.

Also be prepared for a major over-haul of our retail site (playingcards.net) as soon as the holidays are over. Our current shopping cart situation sucks and I am trying to change that.

Bear with me :)

Hey, everybody, thanks for the great leads! I've updated the first post with everything I know of so far.

Sprouts, thanks for the tip on Kings Wild; even though I "like" them on Facebook, they don't show up in my feed. Maybe it's because I don't "like like" them. Either way, though, as funny as their teaser poster is (I love that kind of humor), I'll wait until I have some details before adding them to the list. :)

Likewise, Dan and Dave and other usual suspects who will certainly have a sale of some kind coming up.

Thanks again for your help, everybody!

I've got a pair. I didn't realize there were that many floating around.
