Yes, subscribers will get access to the Black Friday sets on... Brown Thursday.

HSBC: I think the below quote from Jackson is what you might be referring to. It was posted here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=12257&start=80

I also am anxiously awaiting for more details about the Gold and Silver Black Friday Sets. Hopefully we will be hearing something soon.....

JacksonRobinson wrote:Here are the product shots of the finished Deck The Halls Decks. Also below is some information about when the White Christmas Editions will be available for purchase.

I produced 350 White Christmas Editions. The White Christmas Edition features the same cards as the Subscriber's only Red Edition.

72 White Christmas Edition will be reserved for the 72 "Gold Black Friday Sets" that will be available on Black Friday. (more info of what's in the Gold Set to come)
100 White Christmas Editions will be reserved for the 100 "Silver Black Friday Sets" that will also be available on Black Friday. (more info of what's in the Gold Set to come)
75 singles will be available to subscribers of the Kings Wild Shorts this coming Friday (November 16th at 12:00 am Central Time)
The remaining 103 or so will then be made available to nonsubscribers as well as all of the Gold and Silver Black Friday Sets on Black Friday. (November 23 at 12:00 am Central Time)

The price of the White Christmas Editions will be the same as the current Kings Wild Shorts Subscription price - $25
The sets and singles will be first come first serve.

Please know that these details are subject to change.

Yes, I will have two bundle sets.

Gold Set - Only 72 - $160.00
Includes:

1x - Golden Tiger - A special edition of the LTD Tigers I put together just for Black Friday. I only made 72 of these.
1x - White Imperial
1x - Verum Videre Anniversary Edition
1x - Six Foot Five Deck
1x - White Christmas, Deck the Halls
1x - Maduro Gold Edition

Silver Set - Only 100 - $100

1x - Verum Videre Anniversary Edition
1x - Six Foot Five Deck
1x - White Christmas, Deck the Halls
1x - Maduro Gold Edition

The Six Foot Five and Verum Videre Anniversary Edition will also be available by themselves for $25 each. The Gold Tiger LTD Edition will only be available in the Gold Set. Also until I get more of them in, the White Imperial deck will only be available in the Gold set as well. I will probably make those more widely available next week when they are scheduled to come in. They were supposed to come in before black Friday but got delayed a bit in customs.

Jon, JR announced the set details in the previous page

I must admit I am a bit peeved to find a release of a new and very limited Tigers deck as someone who sponsored Tigers on Kickstarter to the tune of three full sets. It just rubs me the wrong way to find another, more limited set, show up after Kickstarter. I kind of feel a bit cheated and my part of helping fund the design diminished as a result. I guess I feel a bit more like partners in the design. I know this doesn't happen with Jackson, but on Kickstarter I do not always get my rewards. In fact, I am still waiting (and likely will never receive) the rewards for the first Kickstarter project I sponsored. I know it is not a guarantee to get the rewards and I accept that risk. On the other side, I advance my money and at best have to wait quite a while before receiving it. I understand that the creator often is lucky to even break even on Kickstarter and often has to sell additional (whatever it is) products in the aftermarket to make any kind of profit. Like some have said, it bugs me then when the rewards get dumped on the aftermarket cheaper than on Kickstarter. It also similarly bugs me when another version also shows up, especially a rare one, after Kickstarter.

All said, while I have most of Gold Set, I will be up trying to get a set myself. The price per deck is actually really good in the package. I am going to try to not get carried away this Black Friday, but this is one I want. So, am I so upset I will never buy another Jackson Robinson deck ever again?... , no.

Thanks to everyone posting about the Black Friday deals.

I totally understand what you are saying and can understand how me releasing some "even more limited" version of the Tigers could seem like a slight. To clarify what the Gold Tiger Edition is...

When I was packaging and looking over everything after I received everything I placed one of the Standard tucks into the LTD matchbox and really liked how it looked. When ordering anything like boxes or decks you always order a little bit more than you need to account for damage or production errors. I had about 100 extra of the LTD matchboxes so I created this hybrid set that I call the Golden Tigers. Basically, the Golden Tigers are The LTD box and cards with the LTD cards in a Standard Tigers Box (instead of the white display box). I also painted the red sandpaper gold and order a short run of the seals in gold foil with black.

At it's most basic level me making these types of sets is me trying to come up with a creative way to clean my shop of extra inventory. I say this because my middle daughter Scarlett, hangs out in my shop a lot and if there is anything thing, like a stack of 100 colorful boxes, just sitting around, it becomes fair game for Scarlett to turn into some fairy box or new craft. I should have some pics of the Golden Tigers today, that I can show everyone. If it still rubs people the wrong way I can totally scrap the Golden Tigers. Slighting any of the backers is def not my intent, I just don't like trashing stuff like that and I would rather create something new than to just throw 100 empty Tiger boxes up on my site. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for your comments.

Oh Ya! I almost forgot to mention this.

I will be putting random numbers in each Gold & Silver Set orders, then doing a lottery drawing for one free 2019 Kings Wild Shorts Subscription (for all 12 months)

Each Gold Set will get 2 numbers
Each Silver Set will get 1 number

Then I will do the drawing live on Instagram with a random number generator to decide who wins the free 2019 Kings Wild Shorts Subscription.

2) I've decided to release the last reserve of the Odissea Nec Plus Ultra this friday (but I haven't decided the price yet)

P.S. Thank you for the incredible support so far, around half of the Aegis/Nemesi were sold, and I've raised the price a little.
I've compiled the spreadsheet today, it took 4+ hours and it was a sweet nightmare.
