Re: v2 LUXX: Gilded Decks - PRE-ORDER NOW

I think we sold around 280 of the 400 maximum. We may produce the other 120 and use them for give aways and promos later in the year, we'll see.

We've just got the seals for the gilded decks today also, we felt it was important to have something to easily differentiate the gilded decks in your collection as the cello seal had to be removed for the decks to be gilded.

We'll apply these by hand once we get the gilded decks back to us within a few days, then start shipping out :)

We've been asked if we would consider doing the v1 LUXX decks, but we don't really have many left so whilst I wouldn't really rule it out, we would only do probably 25/50 of each (we have a private reserve of 200 decks left and that's it) and with copper and silver foil, providing we could source the copper.

First of all lets get these out to everyone, and see what people think. If you're as happy as we are then we will probably release 100 of each LUXX Palme gilded during the pre order window in August.

Hi folks, if you ordered the Gilded decks - we started despatching today. Our advertised shipping date was (and still is) August 10th. We held a few back during the QC process, so the second batch is being completed early next week. The latest we anticipate any order leaving us is still August 10th.

Below are a few thing we wanted to mention before you receive your decks; (this is noted in your shipment email, but thought it would be good to mention it here too)

- Due to the process involved being done partially by hand, you may need to shuffle the deck once to ensure it's loose and ready to play with!
- We've used the USPC-printed Allure decks as a barometer, to try and meet/exceed. Feel free to let us know what you think by replying to this mail.
- The decks were hand-packed, we held back a decent amount as we were not happy with the finish - so remember please, the tucks will not be cellophane wrapped.
- We've also applied by hand a gold or silver seal, we have intentionally used less adhesive meaning you can take the seal off instead of cutting it. Let us know what you think!

This is our first time doing this, so we're open to any and all feedback. We want to continue to improve if we choose to do this again.

Paul, in regards to the shuffling of the decks, do you suggest to do this regardless of whether we will play with the decks? I do not intend to use them for play and am wondering if it is necessary to shuffle them. Thanks!

If you don't want to play with them, it shouldn't be a problem. If you ever do though they may just need loosening up before use :)

Just a quick update folks. The final batch of gilded decks are on the way to us today, and all remaining orders should be despatching in the next 2 to 3 days.

These still aren't in Portfolio52 and there was a request to have them added. Can somebody who has them please add it? Otherwise, if somebody could just post scans of the front and back I can add it myself. @CostlyAxis, can I borrow your sweet photos for additional images too?

I didn't get these, I'm not that hardcore, but they sure look sweet!

Feel free to use my images. Here are some scans of the tucks:

Thanks CostlyAxis! Next time people will have to add themselves or follow the usual request path, but in this case I just really wanted them there because they are so sexy! :lol:

Hi folks, the next window for the gilt edge original LUXX (shadow) is due to open at the end of this month. Probably around 100 total unless they sell out quickly, then we will release another 100.

Hi folks,

All being well the gilt edge decks should be available again within the next day or two. We're just awaiting delivery now. We also have 100 Palme red and 100, but as we haven't seen the finished decks yet they won't be available for pre0order this time, and instead we will sell them when we have them. http://jpplayingcards.co.uk/luxx-gilded-collection" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hi folks,

We are sold out of Original Gold and have 19 Original Silver left. Of the 100 red and 100 blue gilt edge decks produced, we have approx 45 of each left. When they are sold the window closes for now, we will probably re open it again later in the year.

We've been asked a few times recently if we would consider making these gilt edge LUXX available more readily, it's something we are considering but i'm also interested to here what you guys think!

Original LUXX® Shadow Edition | Less than 144 left

Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2016 8:06 am

Hello everyone,

The original LUXX® Shadow Edition decks are close to selling out (less than 144 left) and they will not be reprinted- Murphy's did take some so you'll probably be able to pick some up at a few magic stores, probably for a little more than we'd sell them for. They're £10.99, but if you order in the next 7 days the voucher UCLUXX will get you 20% off PER DECK. This promo will end in 7 days or when they're out of stock, whichever comes first. One order per customer please.

Please do not advertise this discount code, it is for UC members only to say thank you for the support.
