CBKimble hehe we had the same idea.. Since I had the picture up I deleted your thread. Thanks for being on top of things

No problem. 3PM CST. Hoping for both the ACQUA and VERDE editions.

Did not start collecting until December 2014 and so missed out on the Tenebre Rosso. Went and checked it out on kickstarter. Sorry to have missed that as I love the red and black combo. Having said that, the Acqua and Verde editions are very nice looking. 1pm Pacific Time is going to be a very busy time for me tomorrow.
Thanks for posting this and good luck on the campaign, although I doubt you will need it.

So launching the same time as the black Spirits. Does this mean that someone has a chance to be the first in other than Pierre?

How about a double first baby hahahaha. But seriously there is no rush for the Black spirit decks as there are 1000, so I will add those whenever. Now if you want the uncut (which I do not) then yes you have to be quick. As for the Tenebre, like the first project, I do not think there will be anything to rush for. There were no EB the first time but maybe this time I do not know. In any case I wouldn't waste time sitting and reloading at around 1Pm unless you want that uncut

Sadly Tenebre Rosso didn't enter european retailers probably those too but they look soo good. I love decks that are rich in design.

Simple and cheap, very nice. International shipping is a bit high though, at least for 1 and 2 decks.

Much better pricing this time. I'm in for a pair.

I'm a huge fan of the first deck Rosso. Definitely in on these!

The red Tenebre's sold for $18.00 per deck, and now these are $11.00 per deck. At least they're acknowledging the market correction with their pricing. But I'm still passing on these LPCC decks. Here is part of the reason why I have a difficult time taking the LPCC seriously, and I'm quoting Larry Sullivan, himself, here:

"We are printing on the same Diamond Finish card stock, which is extremely long lasting, stiff, and springy. Closely resembling the legendary Jerry's Nugget decks, our Diamond Finish lasts five times longer than standard brands."

And this quote is from the LPCC website:

"The Legend's coating was created to produce a slip factor that isn’t too slick as to make shuffling difficult, yet easy to spread between the hands. This coating also improves as the cards are handled, a rare quality reminiscent of Jerry’s Nugget’s."

Please, just stop with these comparisons to Jerry's Nuggets. Stop. Who does LPCC think they're fooling? When Sullivan first started sourcing factories in China and Taiwan to make his cards, he touted them as being vastly superior to what the USPCC was putting out. Anyone who had the misfortune of buying Global Titan decks knows this couldn't be further from the truth. Now his decks closely resemble JNs? His decks last 5 times longer?!? How does he quantify that? The Diamond Finish hasn't even been out long enough to be quantified as lasting 5 times longer than any "standard" brands. And I have some news for you, Larry: Jerry's Nuggets decks degrade over time as they're handled, just like every other deck ever made. JNs finish does NOT improve as the cards are handled, and neither does yours.

I like these as much as I did the original edition. They look very nice. However, the tuck box for the Tenebre Rosso is currently the first, and only, tuck box that has started falling apart on me. I've only taken those cards out about three times.

LMAO. Thanks for the chuckle. Perfect Gif!

Unlock that sexy green stretch goal and we might have a deal.

Isn't the math wrong? If there are 900 decks of Acqua at $11 per, selling every single one even adding shipping doesn't come close to the $13k stretch goal for Verde to be available.

Has anyone brought this up with Raul? Am I cross-eyed or something here? Math just doesn't work, so I posted the same question in the comments section.

Let's see,
900*11 = 9,900
1000*11 = 11,000
1111*11=12,221

So whether it's the 900 in the body, the 1000 in the intro, or the 1111 printed decks it's still going to fall short. It's not just you.

They're probably considering shipping, both domestic and international.

You've got to figure $3+ for shipping per deck. Definitely doable.

I will pass because the current Euro=Dollar rate is that crappy and higher int. shipping makes those a expensive deck for me.
About $18 a deck if i take 2 decks.
I´m pumping my money into the Spirit decks.Sorry

Yo if anyone is selling the Rosso deck for a manageable price, PM me. I kinda want it now.

They have now released a set of mini decks, 1 in each of the 3 colors, about $30 a set, seems a bit high for mini decks. But I guess a deck is a deck, no matter the size.

At one point I wanted to get as many mini decks as I could, but now I see them as analogous to tuck swaps. Not that it's in any way a bad thing to do/make, I just don't bother with them personally (most of the time).

I was thinking about getting these but they come in a plain white tuck with a window. For $10 each, I'm out. I know they're Just recolors but I like this design. If I didn't like it so much, I'd cancel my pledge just for the fact they're going so cheap on the mini decks.

I'm in the same boat on the mini-decks. I already have a deck of cards in a similar white tuck with an open front, and any card from a box like that is not worth my money. At least based on my prior experience. Also the last deck of cards I got that listed those "300gsm" specs were also the first deck of cards I regretted pledging for due to quality.

I think the red ones were like $18 including the jacket thingy but for just $11, that blue deck is looking a lil' tempting.

The mini decks will now have custom tucks that match their standard size counterparts.

They just posted an update with a coin as an add on. I didn't pledge for a coin in the original Rosso campaign, so unless I can pick one up now I will probably skip this add on. As well as the mini decks 3 mini decks for 30 big ones is a little pricey. I wish they would announce a stretch goal for the pack jackets like the original had. That being said all these add ons with them barely over goal has me worried will they have enough to produce decks, mini decks, coins and shipping? Then there is the whole stretch goal for the green deck.

Welcome back, Tripp! Glad to see you on UC, buddy!

Glad to be here although I never really left I've just been watching from the shadows.
