@desjgn has a Kickstarter for new setups, in bridge- and poker-size, in blackjack index, in red/blue and orange/teal, made by Fournier! Check this thread for more info.

The retail price will be $22/setup post-campaign, but for Kickstarter, the price ranges from $19 for one setup to $780 for 50 setups ($15.60/setup).

I am collecting commitments to buy, if the Kickstarter meets its $16,000 goal--it's more than halfway with another ~3 weeks to go! Estimated delivery is December 2025.

This GB is focued on folks I can deliver to in-person to avoid reshipping. If you're in Los Angeles / Orange County and want to be in, please comment with how many setups you'd like to commit to, like this:

Bridge Red/Blue: 3
Bridge Orange/Teal: 3
Poker Red/Blue: 2
Poker Orange/Teal: 2

I'm hoping to get to the 30-setup tier ($480, $16/setup). If we go over 30 and get close to 40, perhaps @desjgn could create a 40-setup tier (or else I'd do 30 + 10 and average out the cost). I'll cap the GB at 50 setups (unless we get a crazy amount of demand).

I'll collect money once the campaign closes, since I have to pay for the total pledge if the goal is met. Kickstarter will include tax (~10%) and I'm estimating shipping to me at $0.85/setup. So if we hit the $16 price point, then the final cost should be ~$18.50/setup.

Tagging folks who've been involved in my previous cards GBs and other locals, in no particular order: @wonderpuddle @TricycleClub @WhiteMamba1646 @IllCallOneTime @horseshoez @Organista1 @Muckraker @quintooo @mugenpowr @JJDiamonds @UncleMilty @Johnblue @PogBoom @Mongoose @Venturalvn @breal_cards

I'm sure I've missed people, please feel free to tag other LA/OC folks. Once the cards come in, I'll arrange for local delivery.

If you live just outside of the area, like in San Bernardino County, Riverside County, Ventura County, etc., it probably doesn't make sense to join this GB, unless you come into L.A. often and can meet up. If I have to reship to you, it'd likely be a wash or pricier compared to pledging/ordering directly w/Kickstarter. But if other PCF members are near you, start up your own mini-GB!

In for one bridge sized orange/teal set up.
Are you in Los Angeles often? Glad to include you in this GB but it's more geared toward locals that I can deliver to, rather than reship.

I could probablyre ship 1 setup to Canada for ~$20 USD, which is less than what Kickstarter shows for shipping 1 setup to Canada:

2 set Red/Blue bridge size
2 set Orange /Teal bridge size
A lot of Canadian interest ... :ROFL: :ROFLMAO: Glad to hand-deliver these to you if you pay for my airfare to Vancouver! ;)

But seriously, it would likely cost you more for me to reship to you in Canada than for you to order it yourself:

You'd have to pay the ~$0.85 USD per setup (~$3.40) for the shared shipping cost to me, plus however much it'd be for me to reship to you in Canada (~$32 USD) vs. paying $30-35 as estimated by Kickstarter. Basically even.

Likewise if you have the cards shipped to your U.S. address, the savings you get from being in a GB, ~$16/setup vs. $70 for 4 setups ($17.50/setup) saves you $3 but that gets canceleld out by the ~$3.40 you'd pay for your share of the bulk shipping, and then you have to pay for reshipping. You can have the 4 setups directly shipped to your U.S. address for about the same price.

But I am glad to add you if you like! It'd cost you about the same as if you pledged directly, and it might help this GB hit the 30-setups tier. :)

I have never been to LA in my life, so no haha.

I'm happy to pay the shipping. I've always wanted a Desjgn set up.
 
Poker Red/Blue: 1
Poker Orange/Teal: 1

In for one of each, I’ll volunteer @horseshoez or if one of the OC crowd fancy joining a home game in San Diego at some point and bringing down (or might be an excuse for me to try out an OC homegame and heading north and picking up). Also happy to pay shipping.

I can do that.

Bridge Red/Blue: 1
Bridge Orange/Teal: 1

As for meeting up, I'm going to start planning a SoCal meetup and working out all the logistics. It's long overdue—and it’s time to make it happen.

That’s great!!! I for sure want to be a part of it, and Please let me know if I can do anything to help.
 
Bump! 17 days to go. I plan closing this group pledge in just under two weeks, say Sunday, August 10th. That gives me time to collect funds from folks, and then I'll submit the pledge on Thursday the 14th, the day before the campaign closes (unless I get all the funds collected sooner than that).

@Pippa any other Vancouver folks want in on these to be combine shipped to you? Feel free to tag them!

@Kam, same for San Diego folks, if anyone else (@NVFlip @Aeternus from this weekend or @Jonzee @Asmodeus @ChadB etc) is interested. Sounds like there'll be opportunity to get your share of the GB down to you without shipping (or even if shipped, it'll be cheaper combined).

Other LA/OC folks interested? @WhiteMamba1646 @IllCallOneTime @Organista1 @Muckraker @quintooo @mugenpowr @JJDiamonds @Johnblue @PogBoom @Mongoose @Venturalvn @breal_cards

No pressure!
