Guys,

We've had a lot of requests via email for additional release windows on the Wynn decks, particularly at times convenient for our international users as well as those in the USA. We know that it's difficult for our members in the UK, Spain, Italy, etc to wake up in the middle of the night-- especially when the decks usually sell out in 3-4 minutes. Because a lot of our members are located in countries all around the world, it's difficult to hammer out a time that works for everyone. But as promised, we will do whatever we can to make it work. So here's what we've come up with.

The next OFFICIAL release window will be next Friday, January 11th at 11:00pm EST. However, there will be an additional release window at 3:00pm EST on Wednesday of this coming week so that our international members have a more convenient time to grab 'em.

Stay tuned, and if you have not yet done so, be sure to sign up to our text alert system to get first notice of upcoming releases. It's free unless your evil cell phone company charges you for normal text messages (most shouldn't). We promise not to spam your phone with messages like Danny Garcia sends me every hour on the hour ("I miss ur smell. Do u miss me" ; "you had me at jello" ; "ur eyes look like rainbows" ; "b honest do u think my head makes my body look small" ; etc). Okay, I might have made that last part up. But you get the point.

Have a great weekend. Rock on...

The next official release window is on Friday at 11pm-- that was our next planned date and time. We added the 3:00pm release on a random day this week only as an additional time. However, I certainly do see your point, and I chatted about this this morning with our team. To that end, we have changed the international release time to Wednesday-- I have edited my above post to reflect this. The point was to make a time convenient for our international members, and I hope this makes good on that promise.

well...it's meant for the international members (Thats about 7:00 for tose in the UK....)
 
The random idea did perplex me, felt too much like jumping through hoops for nothing overly special (The boil down to just being cards at the end of the day), glad they set a date, I figured Wednesday anyway, because everyone picks Wednesday (Mentalism ftw :p)

Isn't there a way to find out who's ordering from where?

Couldn't you (at Theory 11) take orders from those who are overseas, and ship to them when the window opens? Sort of like a pre-sale .... limiting each order to a brick or so (like you do for the US orders). This pre-sale would strictly be for people ordering outside of North + South America. That way, those people could place their orders at their convenience, and be shipped out the decks on a first-ordered basis. Having a cue of orders setup on your end would not only aid in this process, but it would also show how much demand there is for the decks.

Thoughts?

So you want the people from overseas to get all the time in the world to buy these cards, and then they all get to jump the queue in front of the people in the US who have to stay up till midnight to get the cards? How does that make any sense? Unless you then had a window on the pre-window, which is just totally ridiculous. All in all, idea doesn't work, if you can't buy the cards, don't buy them. Theory11 is being more than generous with a new window, and I'm sure they'll have other random timezones too, gees.

It was just a suggestion.. I guess I didn't realize how easy it was for them to get their decks. I just feel bad for those not able to participate at the open window time.

Didn't mean anything bad by my suggestion.

I"m SO curious to see what a "gross" of playing cards looks like....or even a crate. I know a gross has 144 decks, but I've never seen a picture of what that looks like.

Anyone care to point me in the right direction? (I'm just talking a picture, and it could be of ANY cards.....just curious how much room that would take up)

See this is what I love about this site.

Though I wont be purchasing, as I have my fair share of Wynns its great for the international guys :).

Guys from the US, try and leave this one for the International Guys... You get another one on Friday

I'll take a photo when all of mine arrive, I bought them in small lots, which was stupid because it cost me $90 more than if I just bought 144 off the bat. 144 seemed so big at the time though...

Hey ya'll,

Tomorrow (Wednesday), there will be another release window of the Wynn's at 3pm EST.

This is for all of you who can't stay up that late and so our overseas friends can have a fair opportunity!

Good Luck!
