How do we feel about the design change on reissues? Since about the beginning of the year, decks have been produced thinner.
I actually have a 2021 Bucky, and a 2022 Bucky. 2021 is a nice usable, great quality deck. The 2022 is a thin and floppy toy.
I have 5 of these 2022’s. Perhaps related, 3 of them twisted, and look mangled.
Hoping this changes. After about, jeez, 200 reissue purchases - I can’t buy any more of these thin decks.

Speculation in other places is that they are not allowing them to cure long enough. But doesn't address the fact that a conscious decision was made to make them thinner.
@gap chimed in long ago on the issue, and shared that construction should be .450". I don't have calipers to measure, but I bet these are closer to .350".

Beyond being clearly thinner, there is concern in the community that glue cure times are being aggressively condensed.
Can we get the thicker builds back?!
