I agree with you. I will be waiting until tomorrow as well for the free deck.
Just saw it on the AoP email this morning and thought I'd mention.

I actually managed to complete my order, as the site was up for just a few minutes. Then I guess all the traffic made the site go down, and they eventually refunded the order, asking me to place it again tomorrow :(

They’re giving a free deck regardless of whether you purchase any additional decks or not, just pay shipping. It’s like what they did last time.

Live now. Server's already crashed. Can't get in to order.

So how long do I wait till I give up for the day? I'm assuming the server will be out for the forseeable future. I don't want to miss out if there is any chance of it coming back up. I guess I'll wait till I get an official email letting me know what is happening.

Hello,
On behalf of my team, we are very, very, sorry. Our site has crashed due to the immense amount of traffic visiting it right now. And we we assure you that we are in the midst of fixing it RIGHT NOW.

We ask for your forgiveness and understanding regarding this situation. This is unintentional, extremely, unexpected, and has never ever happened for any of our launches before, as our site is typically well prepared for high volume periods such as this.

We are fixing this whole situation right now and working as quickly as we can. Thank you so much for your support and patience.

We would also like to assure you that everyone with Early Bird access will still get early access once the site is back up and running.The site will only be able open to the public after the early bird period.

Thank you so much for your understanding. We are very frustrated at this situation and completely understand the frustration you might be feeling right now.

We take your time very seriously, and would never take you for granted as a follower and customer of ours. Yet the unpredictability of technology can be extremely frustrating, and we recognize that this inconvenience is our fault.

I will email you again the moment this situation is fixed and the site is back up.Thank you so much for your patience, and understanding. We greatly appreciate your support.

Huron
On behalf of the entire Virtuoso team

Unlike the Fontaine's I think after the 1st deck this series lost sizzle. I think the Fontaine's might be heading in that direction too. And by sizzle I mean aftermarket resale value.

Time to buy more server space :lol: Just like E after the Red LTD release and Lee Asher about 9 years ago during his annual/semi-annual J-Nug sales.

I don't know...The first three are still increasing in value in the after market, though last year's deck wasn't as well received and the price reflects that. I personally think that this year's deck will fair off better than last year and will increase in value in the coming years.

On the other hand, I think that the Fontaines have hit their peak and from now on, the new releases will not command as high as a price as the first three or four...the after market value of all the decks after the Pink version has been around 30-40 without much movement. Due to the almost simultaneous releases, I think that Zach has over diluted his brand. ;)
A deck a day helps keep the addiction at bay!

It's hard to say with Fontaines, ZM pumped out 4 decks this year (sleight, green, carrots, chinatown)
While it's the cardists that drive the price on these, it's hard to gauge the overall hype for them.

But I will say that this might be my favorite deck of his oddly, I didn't get a strong look at them when I went to the Pop up event, but the card faces appeared to possibly be custom.
The indices and the lines of the fontaine Fs, etc, have a wavy hand drawn quality to them. Even the courts appeared to be different than normal, but we'll need court experts to tell me just how different. I think it's purposely trying to look like a "chinatown knockoff" product which is the whole Chinatown Market brand theme. So it isn't just another recolor like the majority of the fontaines.

I think the Virts printed 50,000 of these decks. If that's actually the case, these will be available for a while and I don't think these will shoot up on price like the earlier editions. Buy these to appreciate cardistry, not to resell later for big profits.
