Re: Alphabet Block by Kings Wild

Well at least it's a new design and not another version of a previous deck.

Interesting concept, would have liked to see one as a normal deck size as well instead of just square, but then again I'm unlikely to buy from KWP unless it shows up on Penguin Magic.

This gives 52 decks. I don't work in the printing industry but I believe this could streamline the process by a fair amount.
Umm, no

I was really HOPING that The Emperor Playing Cards made its ways as addons, rather than a new edition with edge printing… PS: While I appreciate you do Free Shipping to Indonesia on Penguins webstore, but how in the world I can checkout if I don’t have the option to choose the country - as it is no...

Re: P52 Debut Deck 'Odd Fellows' by Stockholm 17

I'm personally absolutely fine and happy with all the options and the pricing is fair as I've always considered shipping as part of my deck costs. I'm in for 2 of everything and a coin.

Re: [BUY] Uusi Decks

Depends on how much of a completionist you are. There is a "smooth tuck" version of the two Bohemia decks, only 50 of each were made. It was because the tucks were initially printed wrong. Only available through the KS. P52 says 250 each, but Kickstarter itself specifies even more. Still,...

Re: [BUY] NPCCD Decks

I think that when producers show that they don't care about their customers, people stop caring about them. Look at Vanda, Natalia Silva, and a few others who have disappeared. Out of sight, out of mind, and personally it also means that I get rather disgusted to have their decks in my collection. W...

Re: Blind Tiger NPCCD 2022

The word stolen was used in the context of the P52DOTY awards which then was corrected by reminding that Alex, as in P52, as in Seasons, owns UC and therefore can do as he pleases with anything UC or P52 for that matter. Sorry, but that correction doesn't hold water with me. The DOTY was created by...

So someone, somewhere is doing something with Seasons/P52. Reminder again that the funds for these series of decks were sup...

You mean these (from the post above by vasta)?

Another re-do of a previous deck, nothing would interest me except the coin.

If it has actually been closed down then I’m pretty angry about it. I can tolerate waiting for cards, ie.

But what it comes down to is that UC is and will remain a moderated space -- and in spite of that I have personally had more than a few people tell me they don't like to visit UC because they feel it's hostile or unwelcoming, which honestly sort of hurts.
