They are both ‘Chinese’ themed decks. Here’s the Zodiac case:

It features a red and yellow version of the standard rider back and various zodiac elements on the faces – more details when they hit the UK.

Here’s the Gong case:

It was released in celebration of the Chinese New Year, Year of the Rabbit. Full title – the Gong Xi Fa Cai deck – which I understand translates to ‘Wishing you prosperity’. This new deck features a Metallic Gold Tuck Case, Metallic Gold Rider Back Design with Special Ace’s.

I don’t know how broad the appeal of these decks will be in the UK – but if they make it here we’ll let you know…

Update! I’ve just spotted that Merchant of Magic are listing these – though I imagine they may be ‘special order’ – Bicycle Zodiac Deck £4.95
Bicycle Gong Xi Fa Cai £4.95
