2018 Black Friday/Holiday Specials and New Releases

[vasta41]

i know This is such crap.. They had said four new releases but they are counting the new releases in the magic section ... Overall nothing here. Move along hehe

T11 has usually had some great BF deals in the past. This is disappointing so far. (holding out for Cyber Mon. maybe?) But AoP is 20% off with 6 new decks: https://www.artofplay.com/collections/playing-cards" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;... Much better.

The Harmony 4-pack is awful! One way backs, no pips on number cards. Illusion d'Optique only interesting one there for it's "eye trickery" on each card.

Less than $34 for 4 fully custom USPCC decks? They may not be the best but I'll take 'em!

I kind of like the tuck boxes and even the backs. As a collector mainly, one way backs do not bother me. I think the decks look great together as a set. However, I do not care for the courts and number cards at all.

So there were a lot of deck releases and some sales. I ended up getting a few dozen decks and spending more than I wanted to (as usual) but overall I must say I'm a little disappointed in Black Friday this year. Although there were some discounts and freebies, nothing really made me feel like, "Wow did I just make out with a great deal!" unlike BF's of the past. Maybe Cyber Monday will have that affect but I'm not holding my breath.

Agree with that feeling. I did manage to get some decks as well as board games here and there at a good discount but can't say that it was truly great deal.

I was a bit disappointed in this year's BF all around. I still picked up some nice stuff. I agree, I was really disappointed in Theory11 after the great BF last year with them. Ah well. Thanks to the creators and retailers for your Black Friday sales. I do appreciate it, even if my wallet doesn't.

I will mention that there are 25 more Six Foot Five decks now on the Kings WIld site for sale. I really wanted to pick up a few more, but had to back off. Anyway, another chance to pick them up if you missed them earlier.

More than $35 for shipping to EU, I had the deck in the shopping cart but I had to drop it

[Bradius]

If it makes you feel any better, it is right at $30 for me and I live in the next big city over (almost).

Given what I see in EU shipping. $5 more is actually a great deal. That said, I can't imagine the extra cost EU collectors have to deal with all the time.

[caniveski]

i believe the 35 dollars is in addition to the 25 dollar cost

I guess it was since you kept a copy of the sale posting That is love.

I saw the same thing yesterday, $26.33 for shipping one deck to Canada is a bit steep. No reason to have such high shipping cost within N. America. I also dropped it.. Jackson can keep my deck at those rates.

Not only that, the release was Black Stingers. Then the next year they did it again with Red Stingers! (although the WC were gone early)
Those were the days.....
...first time since they started I haven't gotten anything on BF....also be the first entire year I've spent nothing at T11.
Oh well, we'll always have August of 2008 when it seemed the bricks of WC were flowing every Friday at 11.....

I think European shipping is $15 for a single deck and then $24 for up to six decks.

Shipping to Europe can indeed be prohibitively expensive. One thing that helps me every so often is a mail consolidation service - shipping to/within the US is cheap (or often free), they will keep your packages for up to a month for free and can then repackage smaller parcels into a bigger box thus saving on shipping costs.

They do charge a fee for the service though and it does not help with the customs charges.

Ellusionist is selling Cohorts via a special email link now

Hey, there. It's no longer just a special link; if you go to their "Playing Cards" page, you'll see the Red Cohorts there as an option.

Still waiting for the blue and green Knights, myself....

[willroya]

must use cyber18 promo code for deal. Thanks and enjoy!

I didn't buy anything on Black Friday. Well, playing card-related, that is (I got 96 comic books for $46 at a couple local places).

I just received my Black Friday order from David Blaine, shipped from Gamblers Warehouse.

[STLBluesNut]

Damn that was fast.

Received my David Blaine Black Friday purchases *and* my Dead on Paper Black Friday purchases today. Pretty awesome.

After a disappointing BF/CM I have removed the sticky. Apparently T11 isn't even doing their wheel of awesome this year. What a very lackluster holiday season for playing cards this year.

I approve this message.

I agree that it's a very lackluster BF/CM for playing cards this year. Normally I feel obliged by some deals out there. While Ellusionist's "12 days of X-Mas" bundle is a good value - I don't want half of the decks. I don't want to waste the money.

[rousselle]

Last year, Theory11 launched their "Spin to Win" promotion on December 1st, so I'd expect the same this year.

Here's the link to last year's promotion. I expect this year's to have a similar URL:

I'm actually happy that this year's BFCM sale was lackluster. After the consecutive months of pricey and incredible releases on KS from Aug to Oct, this has given my bank account a little bit of space to recover.
