Author Topic: 3rd Edition Starter Decks - Sold Out (Read 6012 times)

Cactus achieved a bit of a milestone this week. We sold the last of the 3rd Edition starter decks. Some distributors and stores have known for a couple of months that these were almost gone when we kept canceling their orders. We had 30 or so display boxes to start the year and I held those back for website sales. Now they are gone.

You may still find some stores or distributors with inventory but, Cactus is officially sold out. Thank you.

That's really cool. Congrats, I wonder what will be next to sell out. Glad I still have a couple of those, guess I will be holding on to them.

question is, when will the 5th edition go on sale?

Ken4Christ4ever · « **Reply #5 on:** March 20, 2012, 09:26:20 PM »

By the way, does this make these the only cards (other than promos) that are no longer available at all since they aren't in the factory set?

2nd Edition Starter Decks come to mind (C & D decks).

I am hoping to get some cards to Nationals in August and be shipping to distributors and stores by early September.

Ken4Christ4ever · « **Reply #8 on:** March 21, 2012, 07:32:48 AM »

I forgot about those - thanks for the reminder!

Is that a confirmation that the new set is definitely a starter deck?

Will you be bringing a proof sheet to Southeast Regionals again?

It's been confirmed as a starter deck by multiple Elders for a while now.

Nuh uh. It's the NE's turn to get a look.

Rats! You're right. The Southeast Region concedes first proof look to the Northeast.

Chronic Apathy · « **Reply #13 on:** March 21, 2012, 11:50:37 AM »

I'm probably going to East Central, so they should get it this time.

No no no...I think Rob should bring a proof of the new set to NC regionals...Gabe, SirNobody and I have all been DYING to see the new cards...

I'm glad to see you bow before my superior logic and dizzying intellect. (Insert Three Stooges noise here)

Just imagine if Alaska had a large enough playgroup to host NW Regionals.

Of course, if the SW Regionals were held in Hawaii I think they might get a bigger attendance than Nationals.

starter decks, I and J?

Not likely. The letter for the starter deck is displayed in the lower left corner of each card in the deck. We already have cards that have an "I" there, because of FoOF tin #1. These decks would have to be J/K (and that's no joke!).

Now that would be confusing... everbody would be like, where's the I decks? I think you could rid of the letter system at this point probably

Actually we decided to just go ahead and jump straight to the M/N decks. Also known as the Minnesota decks.

Thus they contain no orange cards. In fact, they contain no defense at all - A tribute to our beastly playstyle.
