I would think landscape don't do big enough orders to have their own shapes but im not sure, that might be true of heroin also... don't know about deluxe i could group them all together?

yeah you can group the deluxe ones together. you'd be suprised in how many heroin/landscapes actually get sold. we will get ten in a week because the distrubutor lives 30 minutes away so he brings them up for us so we don't have to pay shipping and they are usually all gone by closing time two days later

exclusive shapes and concaves cost serious $ so often times the same shape will be used across different companies...but you all know that. 

as far as best decks, i'd say any brands out of the chapman woodshop:

zoo
shut
official
cliche
landscape
heroin

That is fucking sick the UK companies are getting sold over there - it's been a long struggle for a lot of UK companies to get shit sold in the US

What's the cost of UK boards over there - more or less ?

What are you lookin' at? You're all a bunch of fuckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be. You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers, and say "that's the bad guy." So, what'll that make you? Good? You're not good.
