I received my February limited deck yesterday. Once again I like the white 1982 vhs standard version better.

So for the retailers that sells the decks lower, do they include the Kings Wild sticker of the month?

Only the LTD decks include the monthly stickers and subscribing is the only way to pget a LTD version.

[hsbc]

All three versions are different designs Makes me really tempted to try to get a gilded edition....

[Bikefanatic]

Nobody I seen selling standard subscription decks less than $15. I think the person is saying that some of the other decks, like the red and blue Americana decks, are a few bucks lower than KWP website.


I guess the only way to get a subscribed gilded deck will be if there's left overs from the subscribers getting theirs first and then they could be released to Members Only or the public. That gilded Table Players is looking really nice.

[Aces_Rye]

Do you have a link to one of these retailers that are selling my standard shorts decks less than $12? If so please let me know and that can be stopped. They are not to be sold for less than $15. Thanks for your help.

One popular Murphy's Magic retailer who sells on eBay has them priced at $15 with free shipping. On the KWP site, shipping would cost at least an extra $5, so when I said they were being sold for less, I was taking the shipping cost into account.

Happy Birthday to one of the best playing card designers out there .

Hi All,

Received my shipping notification for the Gilded Edred the Gizzard deck today.
Just wondered if any 2019 subscribers had received notifications of the Ltd edition deck yet?

I presumed they would've all shipped together.
Wondering if I need to contact Nick and resubmit the photos of my completed certs.

[Bradius]

No gizzards yet for me.


Edit: Nevermind. Gizzards are on the move. I repeat. Gizzards are on the move. Bottles though are still stopped up. But the limited and gilded are flying in formation.

Quick question for y'all. So I may have misunderstood a lot of things, but I vaguely remember seeing a post on UC regarding the import charges for KWP's international clients and how said charges could be remedied/eliminated by delayed shipping. There was mention of a promo code that allowed this kind of shipping. Anyone know anything about this? I'm about to order a decent haul and I'd love to know about this before I complete my purchase.

[Eric Lee]

Here's the info from the website. It used to be that you just put in the code delayed-shipping into the discount window. But KWP has since revamped their website, shipping costs and etc. So that's all you have now.

Consider using a shipping consolidator if you're buying stuff regularly from US. There's a thread on this. Search for save on shipping or shipping consolidator for more info.

I don't think it was import charges but I could be wrong. What they had for awhile was delayed shipping which would combine multiple months of subscription decks and other purchases into one shipment so instead of international people paying like $20 per order to ship, it would just combine a bunch of order for like $25 or whatever. They still have it for subscribers if you email them

I got my (standard) Chocolate Pi deck and it did not come with a slice of pi sticker. Did this happen to anyone else?

[Harvonsgard]

The delayed shipping program is available to reduce shipping costs not import charges. KWP has no influence on that. If you use it, the import charges might go up since they (at least in the EU) are related to the order value therefore, higher order value = higher import charges but less shipping costs. Lower order value = lower import charges but higher shipping costs (if multiple deliveries).

I would advice to check the import regulations of your country to see how it works and then you have to run the numbers to know which is the better deal for you.

I readily admit that I am clueless as to the import regulations vis-a-vis Canada and playing cards. However, I have noticed that when I have had parcels shipped to me by slower means, I have never been charged an import fee despite the relatively lower shipping rates. Conversely, faster service that takes roughly a week to deliver always comes with an extortionate brokerage fee in addition to the import duty despite the higher shipping cost (albeit faster delivery). The latter case has been mostly UPS, although I don't know if this is due to their greedy service or the speed of delivery in general.

[Harvonsgard]

In Germany it is pretty easy; order value + shipping below €50 - postman brings you the parcel to your doorstep as always.
Order value + shipping above €50 - Go to the nearest customs office and bend over. You can be lucky though if there is no invoice or bill in the parcel, some custom agents give you the benefit of the doubt if you say that it was a gift (you still have to claim it is worth less than €50). Very, very rare that a parcel slips though.

In case anyone is unaware, the Members Only section has limited and gilded VHS decks available, and there are still gilded 20/20s as well

No. I got a gilded and standard deck and got 2 stickers. Email them and they should send you one.

Thanks. Nick was out the week I emailed them but got back to me the following week. The sticker should ship with my next subscription order.

Kings Wild Family,

I just wanted to give you guys a quick and important update. I recently received news from The United States Playing Card Company letting me know, that in accordance with Governor Beshear's (Kentucky State Governer) order for all non-life essential businesses to close. Unfortunately, this includes The United States Playing Card Company. The initial closer has a set time span of 10 days and they will reevaluate after that how to proceed.

At this point in time, this doesn't impact any of our subscription or nonsubscription deck releases. We, fortunately, had gotten a few months ahead with our Kings Wild Shorts decks and have the next month's decks in the house already.

The only deck it may affect is the April Scarlett Bicycle deck. The Scarlett Bicycle decks are in mid-production. I don't know yet if they will be delayed in any way but I wanted to make any of you, that are subscribers to the Bicycle Subscription service, aware of USPCC's temporary shutdown.

If I have any updates or get any new information about the situation I will be sure to let you know.

The Kings Wild Crew has been working diligently working from each of their homes this past week and we greatly appreciate all of our customer's support and encouraging words.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop us an email at info@kingswildproject.com

Thanks, guys! You are awesome!

Hey, Jackson!

I ask this publicly, figuring that others may benefit from knowing the answers, as well:

I found a golden ticket in one of my Table Players decks! Woo-hoo! How do I redeem it for one of your super special golden ticket decks?

And, I'd love to share a photo of this on my (very lame) Instagram account, but I'm assuming you don't want the entire ticket to be revealed, lest someone try to forge one as a result. Is there a part of the ticket you're being careful never to put out a photo of, that I should similarly cover up for the photo?

BTW, I *really* dig the March table players deck. It is truly one of the best 'standard'-type decks I've added to my collection. I love the metallic silver ink, and I love the way the back design looks in fans and spreads. Mmm, mmm!

No problem, simply send a pic of your deck and the gold tick to nick@kingswildproject.com

I just saw the post of the P51 Peter Flash Dash deck and thought about the last deck in this series. Did Jackson ever teased what the last deck of his war series will be? Has to be the Sherman tank, right?

Correct Sherman Tank.

[Harvonsgard]

Nice. Gotta have to add the complete set now. Awesome homage to the OG series.

Verum Videre and Six Foot Five are printed by EPCC? I'm not sure about Six Foot Five, that deck could be indeed EPCC, but Verum Videre 1st Edition is in no way printed by EPCC! Either it is a copy'n paste mistake or EPCC did succeed in copying the USPC stock and feel.

[flyers3003]

Also a question on the Liberty Gold decks. Thought those were EPCC.

[Bikefanatic]

I already got a shipping notification, I think it's for the April subscription Toro deck. It's a little early!

As a completionist, this is a bit of torture. But thank you for putting the time and energy into this. I also have a questions/comments:

1. I think the Black Diamond Legacy, Pearl Legacy, and Federal 52 Legacy are missing. Either that or I have some very constructed Kings Wild knock-offs.

2. Are there 3 "Moriarty " decks? One with a blank back on the tuck, one with a foil "M", and one with a "KW" sicker?

3. Do you have plans to add the respective display decks for all-white tucks (e.g. "Haunted 8's", "Deck the Halls")?

4. Do you have plans to add the custom brick boxes?

5. This is just some nitpicking here for this one: For the Shorts Subscriptions areas, The "Standard" decks are listed above the bold "Limited" Decks (except for January "Pi") making it a bit tricky to read. Easy to live with this, and there is probably a logistical reason for it, but it threw me off when I was using it a checklist.

Some of these questions/comments might have already been addressed, apologies if they are redundant.

[Bradius]

Trying to be a completist for KWP stuff has to be a monumental undertaking, but would be a heck of an achievement.

I am a huge fan, but not enough to attempt it. That said, I do get crazy from time to time. I think this a complete set of every variety of Tigers. Every time I see that wonderful Tigers Legacy, I have to thank the awesome Dentyne for setting me up with that one (only seven of those beauties). I hope to post my first and second year subscription decks at some point. I know I am missing a few varieties though.

Maybe someone has a complete set of first and second year subscription decks (including Artist Proofs and such). That would be impressive to see.

[masagin303]

Is it just me or is there some other EU shorts subscriber who's last package received was the January "2020" deck (standard + limited)?
