VXD wrote:I know there are tuck-only people to cater for these days...Oh boy did I find that out the hard way here :lol: ....so (as you may have guessed by Lance's pic) we have got a new tuck design for all you hardcore tuckers...a 'Vegas Classic' one and a 'Vegas Gold' one. I love the Hoover Dam, maybe partly because I was a Structural Engineer for 18 prior to starting VXD, but I'd love to hear others thoughts. What do you guys and gals think??

N.B - Holographics will be added as a Stretch Goal, if we get there.
Amen to a "standard" tuck. But the render makes it look thicker than a normal tuck. Are the dimensions the same?

Yes - totally standard dimensions....we'll have that corrected probably if it looks that way.

Cheers

I ended up getting the $25 EB (for now). Seemed odd to me that the EB for the Vegas was $25, the Gold $39 and the Metal $59, which sums to $123, but the combined EB was $129.

The price is, in all honesty, too low. Particularly when compared to other decks that are very advanced. But I'm sick of nobody opening our decks because they are too valuable to be opened.
At $29 or even $45 it makes it extremely difficult to enjoy them for a few nights of poker, or until they goto crap because there used extensively.

I am in for a full set. Missed the EB, but only $10 more. I plan on opening at least one deck. I will be interested in the add-on. Hopefully combined shipping will help.

If only 499 each are made, you are looking at around $75,000 total including shipping. You will need to sell most to meet the funding goal. The deck design is much improved. Good luck with the funding.

I have one of the earlier metal cases and they are really unique. If you can swing the cost, they really are worth the extra cost.

You are running out of the three different deck tier. You should consider adding more of them.

I was able to get a vegas gold eb. Wish I could afford getting the 3 pack.

I am quite curious to see what else is in store and to see these in person.

Btw - Maybe Mike or Magik or someone

The reason I opened another thread (now deleted) with the launch link was because I find it un-constructive to have a cancelled KS link at the start of a thread, where the project is now live. To me it seems something that needs sorting. I can think of what the reasons will be that people will correct me on regarding this, but it's just my observation.

Any way of replacing that first KS cancelled bit with the now live one??

Cheers

Yeah, someone with a big bank account has picked up the shortly opened God Tier. But, now it looks open again. Something odd is going on. I would expect someone willing to punk down that much money would stay committed. I would think it would be a reseller.

An Ultraviolet deck. Hum, that nice case and set of the two decks with the metal cases reminds me of the Stars and Stripes set from the last campaign which I managed to pick up a few months ago :D . Now I have to get a matching new set. Oh, that hurts my bank account. It needs time to heal, but I have to find a way.

Honestly, what is the problem? Didn't everyone got a refund for them? The need for standard tucks came to them unexpected and they weren't able to produce them in that campaign. They apologized, sent refunds and now that they are prepeared for producing standard tucks, they offer them.

Why on earth are you angry about the cancelling of the standard tucks in the last campaign? Sure you didn't get them - and it cost you nothing.

Stretch goal = transparent holographics on the tucks (= more colour than any inks) ;)

Thanks for the general positive opinion on our project.

well, it depends; will the ultraviolet deck be available on it's own in a new tier? or as an alternate choice for backers of the existing tiers? or only as an add-on? or only available with the set?? so many questions lol
