Luna Moon, Helius Sun & Esther Star Playing Cards live on KS

[akicer]

They also did not send me the correct number of the galaxy collectors boxes lol

btw, even the box is in mint condition, it looks really shitty speaking of displaying three decks

[Bradius]

My rewards came in the mail. The decks and three deck holder came through fine. I like the three deck holder, especially as it was free (that is a good number).

[Eric Lee]

Got mine yesterday. Came wrapped in 3 layers of bubble wrap and 2 layers of thin foam. However, the collector box front was scratched up a bit as it was packed together with the box with the decks, without a protection layer.
In my opinion, the box was a nice idea with it fanning out like the collector deck box, but the sides were hard for me to insert the collector decks as there was a stiff flap on both sides. It makes it hard for me to slide the decks in without damaging the flaps. Anyone else with that problem?

[JuFiN]

I seem to be one of the lucky few who got an intact collectors box, and I can confirm its very difficult to get the decks into it especially those on the sides.

Also had an excessive amount of bubble wrap and the like in the box, but nothing between the deck and the collectors box so I presume to deck pressed against the box and caused the indents/ damage many as witnessing.

[Pablo393]

I received my package. Decks were fine. Tons of bubble wrap. The collector display box was smashed beyond any kind of use but I don't care and wouldn't have used it anyway. Not going to bother requesting a replacement from them.

[Magic Tapp]

I got my package a couple of days ago. The box was squished on one side but, fortunately, all these extra layers of bubble wrap inside safeguarded the decks. The box was ok but I did not quite appreciate that it would not be made of plastic. I am not planning to use it anyway so do not really care that much.

Deck-wise, I much rather prefer the Violet Luna deck. Esther Star is fine but nothing to write home about.

[vasta41]

Bocopo contacted me and said they are working on sending replacements.

[Bradius]

My three deck display came in fine. I was able to put in the decks without issue. I prefer to have my deck tucks visible, but I do like how it folds out like the individual tuck boxes. So, photo of the set..

That box is [really dumb. It was free, though, right..?

[Bradius]

Yes, it was free to people who backed both projects. It is hard to complain too much about something that was free.

It's like I always say: There's no such thing as 'bad pizza', just pizza I/you wouldn't pay for.

I just happened to come across this youtube video reviewing the Esther Sun deck with over 1.3 Million views.

I guess the magic folks can bring in the viewers for playing cards.

[vasta41]

Last week I received a larger than normal package in the mail from China. My wife thought I bought 4 bricks of cards. I pleaded with her and she apologized once I opened it and found a very well wrapped, undamaged 3-deck display case (I also told her that not only was it NOT 4 dozen cards but it was also FREE). I never expected but am happy they sent out new cases. Big kudos!!

Crazy enough that video has the SAME thumbnail basically as the one I made for the Sun/Moon decks some months prior... Rise magic are good guys. 70k subs... but for whatever reason it just went viral. Good for them! Hope to collab with them in the future

The differentiation stems from your videos consist of a very straight forward/to the points titles.

While Rise Magic has a more "click baity" titles. I don't know if you watch LinusTechTips but he talked briefly about YouTube algorithms and the only way to compete in the platform is by using often ~ misleading titles that sparks curiosity of the viewers.

Hah! Maybe TGW needs to review a Hartsoe deck to add some bait words for a curvy bump.

[STLBluesNut]

Lol. That is the first time I think I've seen a Hartsoe deck mentioned here.

Wow, those hartsoe decks are expensive :O.

Cash cows want to be milked.

[Eric Lee]

Ooo… that's a great idea. Would love to see TGW review crap decks. Loved Ramsay's Blaine vs Criss Angel's decks. So funny. Hartsoe with the right titles will get you soooo many hits. Hahaha!

Just received an email from Kickstarter stating Violet Luna Moon & Esther Star Playing Cards Print By USPCC is the subject of an intellectual property dispute and is currently unavailable

Hehehe this has long been delivered but the saga continues

Bocopo beating people to the plagiarism game once again

OMFG... AGAIN! You've gotta be kiddin' me BOCOPO!

Is EVERY g'damn aspect of the garbage they produced just ripped off?!?! *rage quit*



#BocottBocopo

[rousselle]

Wowwwwww.

[PipChick]

okay, so let's just briefly run through all the now known ripped off decks bocopo has produced or attempted to produce through KS funding (although, many were still produced anyways because they're shady AF)... shall we:

• The Luna Moon Series, obviously
• Thread Cardistry Deck: funding suspended but decks had already been produced and were dumped as add-ons in another campaign
• Lost Deer Series: funding suspended but decks had already been produced anyways and are currently being sold
• Meow Star: Jokers and back design were ripped off
• Oriental Memory: tuck and faces ripped off
• The Mountain Calligraphy Deck: funding suspended but I'm sure we'll see 'em out there for sale eventually if they're not already out there

any others I'm missing that y'all can recall??

Check my reply on the Lost Deer thread; there's a photo of THAT deer straight out of Pinterest!

that's exactly the post I referenced in the list lol - btw, nice catch Teddy

[hsbc]

Unbelievable

[Azazaaz]

I've received the two emails as well. I'm feeling bad for backing these now, I really had no clue these were rip-offs. Count me in on the boycott. I was interested in getting some Maneki Neko decks in the aftermarket for a friend and I but I'll pass. Not that it matters giving the amounts of decks they move but spreading the word is just the first step.
