So, it looks like this is supposed to hit shelves today. Has anybody seen anything as of yet? The card supplies that Konami usually releases are usually pretty low quality (i.e. the sleeves from the recent card tins), so I'm interested to see how this product turns out. The description sounds enticing... but such is the way of retail advertising...

The tin sleeves are crap but the majestic sleeves were actually worth the purchase.
Yeah, I know how to use Google, apparently that site's very popular ;)
I was just looking for live pics of the product as opposed to advertisement ones. (ie: i wanna see it with cards inside!)

is that nametag thing in there when you buy it or did you add that to the inside part of the cover?
also, is it velcro? how does it stay shut?
edit: nvm, i guess it's magnetic, i might just have to get one of these

the nametag is included; it has a spot for your name, cossy number, and cossy id barcode sticker. and yea, its magnetic.
the best ive got right now (not rly, just lazy). it comes with 2 dividers, one for each tray. its cheap but the quality exceeds its price imo.
That's amazing! I usually get the 5$ deck boxes because they last me a while but damn... I need one of these! 8D

its a lot better than the max, and the material is more durable. :O
its only 5 bux. i say its worth it for its looks and convenience. just gotta be careful not to mix your box with others'; i think more than half my locals players are using these now. xP

My locals will prolly charge 10 because they are 'unique' and then demand more over time because Kirby is just too damn ******' cheap to keep prices at consistent prices! D<
Mats used to be 10$ then became 20$ then 30$. The only thing he keeps consistent are 'pricey' cards like Pineapple. >_>

Canadas not much better.
Except we dont have a McDonals on every corner. And our prices are higher. For Basically everything.
Our YCSs are 400-500 people. Regionals is 200.
Nats was 200-300 people.
but now we have the north american Nat5s. lol.
So anyways, back to the product?
It only comes in Crimson Blue (black with blue outlines), right?

I'm quite serious. Oklahoma sucks because you literally cannot go 2 miles without bumping into a Mickey D's and a bloody church.
Oklahoma is like... One of the US's worst states when it comes to physical health because there are literally 4-5 fast food joints per mile. x.x
idk what you're talking about, there are only like 17 sonics in Norman alone.
I agree that kirby has insanely inconsistent prices. he used to have super ryko's for $5, now they are $20.
also, i will definitely buy this online, i just don't feel like waiting for kirby to get them in stock, and i'm not sure if brian at wizard's is even going to carry them

Gah. T&T is charging $9 for shipping to Canada on this thing. It is because I believe their system calculates shipping according to weight and they have the thing listed at 1lb. Shipping on the MTG Duel Deck Boxes is only like $3. Grrrr. I wanted to order one of these but the shipping is just too ridiculous for me.

don't talk about your location, the mods will just delete your post.
anyway, wizard's asylum in norman carries ygo supplies (i'm going to talk to him about getting this in stock)
also, al's up in edmond carries deckboxes and monster binders at some pretty steep discounts.
still, your best bet would be to go online. that way you can get it (boomer) sooner than everyone else.
there are a couple of vendors on ebay that have a bunch in stock and charge somewhat reasonable shipping, i expect more to show up in the following weeks.

But anyway, I would go to Wizards if I had my own transportation and had the cash to pay for tournaments because I hear a lot of good things from Alien Games (Tulsa's premiere card store apparently) and Wizards quite frequently. Only reason my friend and I keep going to Kirby's is for the free tournaments. Yeah, the prize is a crappy random pack but it's good for testing without having to waste cash.

I'm not really a hardcore Yugioh player and I don't compete at competitions, so I was just looking for a nice way to keep cards tidy and neat.
cant fit the official magic sleeves i use for my pokemon tokens, not sure if double sleeves will either. :(

The upcoming Ultra Pro double deck box is great and most likely around the same price. I eBayed the Grand Prix Nashville stamped prototype due to its exclusivity and early release, though the Magic logo and symbols ruin it a little.

I have the Japanese Blue Crimson Dragon 5D's single deck box, the original Konami Yu-Gi-Oh! "duelist card holder" (the black one with silver stamped logo), and I have to say the 5D's generation of deck boxes are my least favorite of the two, though the American release looks to be better than the Japanese one. The JP one also had a terrible plastic smell on the inside rather than a pleasant/unnoticeable one that deck boxes typically have.
The original Konami YGO deck box is quite solid. Bought a official Konami calculator to match it and it fits perfectly inside, but I ended up using the Ultra Pro rolling double deck box the most and the generic calculator that has the same design as the Konami one, since I don't want to lug around a TI-8X or use my phone. I would definitely be sporting the classic Konami YGO deck box + calculator if I didn't love the Ultra Pro one so much.

i fit in 70 sleeved in Ultra Pro in one slot (40 card deck + 15 card extra deck + 15 card side deck)
and i still had room for the 2 dividers in that slot....but it was quite a tight fit.
and i put a calculator and 3 dice in the other slot.

"duelist card holder" (the black one with silver stamped logo), and I have to say the 5D's generation of deck boxes are my least favorite of the two, though the American release looks to be better than the Japanese one. The JP one also had a terrible plastic smell on the inside rather than a pleasant/unnoticeable one that deck boxes typically have.
The original Konami YGO deck box is quite solid. Bought a official Konami calculator to match it and it fits perfectly inside, but I ended up using the Ultra Pro rolling double deck box the most and the generic calculator that has the same design as the Konami one, since I don't want to lug around a TI-8X or use my phone. I would definitely be sporting the classic Konami YGO deck box + calculator if I didn't love the Ultra Pro one so much.
the one gripe i have about the new UP box is that part of it looks rather flimsy. the part where the box opens from doesn't look very reinforced.
but 180 MTG sized card capacity is amazing when it comes to yugioh because then there would be even more room to put other stuff in it.

The upcoming Ultra Pro double deck box is great and most likely around the same price. I eBayed the Grand Prix Nashville stamped prototype due to its exclusivity and early release, though the Magic logo and symbols ruin it a little.

The plastic sheet they use to form the box is very thin and flexible, almost like certain types of plastic school folders. It is definitely a lot thinner and less rigid and sturdy compared to the typical deck box plastic used by Ultra Pro and especially Konami.
So I guess it would be easier to crease or dent but honestly if you aren't using it as a soccer ball you should be fine. It will definitely never tear or anything like that. I'm willing to bet that though it might be more flexible or "flimsy," it is also a lot springier and won't easily show bends and creases. I'm not brave enough to try bend tests on mine. It doesn't seem like it will be falling apart any sooner than your average Ultra Pro box.

Hopefully any day now. They said something like December '10 or failing that, early spring '11, IIRC. But then again I've been waiting for Theeve's supposed summer release for their TiAX trucks for half a year and they only just came out recently.

Just got my crimson dragon double deck case, and I have to say it's pretty sweet. Very durable and holds lots of cards.

I'm able to fit my sleeved Naruto deck in just fine. It's a little tight but once you get the corners in it just slides right in.

theyre a lot better than the overpriced anime double deck boxes.
Nah I meant that I hate double deck boxes in general because I believe it gives players an ego boost and arrogance. Well that's what I usually have to deal with at my regionals.

Well then people at your regionals must just be arrogant in general.

Yeah I guess so, I doubt that people in other states have to deal with jerks that already have their invites, but still go to regionals to take away invites from other people. Yeah people at my regionals are buttholes.
To stay on topic, I like single deck boxes because it holds my deck, side deck and extra deck nicely and its less to carry.

I like this deck box since it looks more durable than the other ones I have and it has a great design.
BTW
Anyone know where I can find one of these?
