When Stranger Things first came out it was kind of surprise success. Netflix didn't have a licensing department setup and it was about six months before they had anything in place to start doing deals. Good times.

Re: Bicycle Mausolea

We’ve had some backers ask about getting multiple decks so we may do a 2 or 3 pack bundle. Probably will have an update asking how many people would be interested once we get some more backers

Re: Bicycle Mausolea

I don’t have a hard number off the top of my head since it’s been months at this point. I think we ordered 2500 but then a bunch of them showed up damaged so the total number is definitely less than 2k. That’s partly why we’re releasing them slowly on the Kickstarter, we want to make sure we can go ...

Re: Bicycle Gorilla Deck - Silverback Edition

Trying to do it as a Metalluxe deck is actually a really good idea. It's about the same cost per deck on our side, but we'll have a higher minimum quantity so the goal will have to go to $10,000.

Re: Bicycle "The White Rabbit" Deck - Kickstarter Complete

There are actually two White Rabbit decks, the limited edition which will never be reprinted, and the unlimited one with the white back that has had several reprints. The campaign was to help fund another reprint of the unlimited decks. The Li...

Re: Bicycle "The White Rabbit" Deck - Kickstarter Complete (

It’s been awhile since we’ve put any decks up on Kickstarter. Has it become that hard to fund, or is it just a small pool of collectors that already had this deck?

Seems there is only interest in the Limited decks that are left.

It was, but there were some errors that were made on the first one that we wanted to correct for on this project. Ultimately, it will allow the backers access to more decks than they would have had on the first go round. On the uncuts, they take up too much space so we probably won't be printing any...

We tried finding a distributor to help out with at least EU pledges, but they didn't get back to us before we launched the project. Hopefully we can figure something out before the end of the campaign.

Supernatural - Yes, this is based on the TV Series
Power Rangers - Based on the Mighty Morphin Legacy / New Movie version
Aliens - We have the entire franchise and the idea was always to create a second deck for the Aliens movie with the Alien Queen for the queens.

Apologies if this is the wrong place for this. I thought there was a separate designer board somewhere but couldn't find it.

No traditional cuts, but maybe we can offer some uncuts separately and you can find someone to cut them for you.

We lowered the price for higher tiers. We wanted to encourage picking up multiples of the deck to help get it funded since we don't plan on ever reprinting the deck and would really like to see it succeed this time.

Thanks for the feedback guys. With the gorillas in the news, we aren't sure if it will help or hurt the campaign.

We're looking at trying to make this deck finally happen. If we print at USPCC, it's going to be more expensive because of the Bicycle branding and their printing costs have been going up over the years (especially for a print run of 1,000) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1460165270/1622963921?...

If you've already been reading Jamey's page, that's some of the best advice that you can get. It's great that you want to reduce costs for international shipping, but the harsh reality is that it IS expensive to send things outside of your country (and sometimes even within it). The best way to redu...

Licensing costs are part of the equation, but that's also why we have to charge $8 instead of something lower.

Hall of Shame

So there are projects that have earned their place here that haven't been updated. I don't think that it's fair that others be put on blast in a public setting if everyone hasn't been treated equally.

I move to either update it or remove the list completely.
