Limited Edition Bicycles/Bikes

BoomerET · 03-07-2009, 07:11 PM

I was in Target, and they had 10 or so packs of Bicycles that have the normal faces, but have a white back with black design.

The box says it's Limited Edition Series - Series 1

Now, I haven't looked around at cards, as I usually always got my standard bikes at Costco.

Are these standard fare, or not widely available?

I also got some gimmicky bikes, they're clear, but kinda cool.

The clear ones were $3.99US and the Limited ones were $2.99

I can post some pics if anyone is interested.

I thought they looked interesting, so I bought 2 lims and 1 clear.

The clear bikes are made of plastic, I'm guessing. If so, don't expect to be able to use them for ANYTHING. They are horrible for most manipulations. Their only upside is that they're very very durable.

I'm not sure about the limited edition bikes; I'd post some pics. If it says limited edition, though, it probably is.

Lets see some pics of those limited ones...PLEASE

Here's an image I found on the web.

Those look interesting. I've never seen a deck like that before, but, even if they're not limited edition, they look pretty nice.

You say you found these at Target? Might have to check it out...

Jacob Hatfield · 03-09-2009, 02:31 PM

Kind of nice looking. Simple and clean. I like the look of white backed cards too though.

Thanks for telling us about your find.

Oh, heck, I missed this thread. I picked up a deck of these a couple months ago from a WalMart in Wyoming as I was moving out to Idaho for school. They look very cool. They handle just like you would expect a deck of bikes to handle. I don't use them regularly, but once I picked it up, it was my only used deck until I got to my apartment several days later. I'd recommend them. I'll be collecting all 10 as they come out.

They are currently in the Exomagic sore however, the pricing/shipping is currently not functioning properly.

But once the shipping is completed they are for sale

Brandon Pomeroy · 03-10-2009, 10:43 PM

Picked up some packs today, and I must say that I'm pleased. The back is very nice, almost Ghost-like (***********'s ghosts). It also has a new joker leaning against a large number one. I can't wait to get all ten series, and have them all lined up next to each other! Gonna look niiiiiiiice. I'd say pick a couple decks up if you can.

(Btw, like Lyle said, these feel just like normal bikes. Good price, too.)

EDIT: Anyone want me to post a pic of the joker? I didn't find it when I was looking at the deck on google, so if anyone's curious, just ask.

Jacob Hatfield · 03-11-2009, 10:13 AM

I wouldn't mind a image of the joker. An up close one.

Brandon Pomeroy · 03-11-2009, 10:41 AM

A little blurry, but you get the gist of it. Obviously very different from normal bikes.

Jacob Hatfield · 03-11-2009, 11:37 AM

Hmmmm, I think I like it.

Kind of a crude drawing for USPCC. I always thought they were pretty detailed in their art.

But I like it.

Well, I'm off to the dollar store.

BoomerET · 03-11-2009, 02:20 PM

Ok, I'm convinced. Gonna stop by Target and see if they have some left. If so, they're all mine.

Boomer

Brandon Pomeroy · 03-11-2009, 11:53 PM

Definitely pick some up, the joker looks a lot better in person. Also, at only 2.50$ a deck, it's a great deal. I personally just got three; one to use, one to never open and let collect dust, and one to display with the other nine.

BoomerET · 03-12-2009, 12:15 AM

I got greedy, and picked up 6 more.

Who knows, maybe I can put 6 sets up on eBay and retire.
