Yeah, got the deck just the other day!
Doing an objektive review is really hard for me, because TB's cards were just perfect...
Here some pix of the "SoloStore"-version:

This is what you'll get:
62 Corellian Spike Sabacc cards
1 faux-leather box (professionally gold-imprinted on both sides)
2 metal-cast golden-finished Sabacc-Dice
1 black sacklet
The overall first impression is really okay. The cards are made of sturdy playing-card-plastic. The box is fine, too.
Giving away dice with the cards is good idea also (though the golden color seems a bit strange in this combo).
But on close inspection these are my main issues regarding screen-accuracy:
1.) Size - the cards are a bit small (about 10cm x 6.5cm). TB's are more like 11cm x 7.5cm, which is closer to the reference estimate of 11.5cm x 7.5cm of the screen-used cards.
2.) Color - the backside seems way too dark. It's more of a dull gold, while it should be a brighter orange. And the red from the frontside is very far on the brown side. So in low light it's hard to tell the two colors apart.
3.) Artwork - actually the part that's personally bothering me the most. Though there has been a lot of reference (SOLO-T-Shirt, Screenshots), the artwork isn't really accurate. The geometrical shapes (see second picture above) are too blocky and don't show the round edges I would have liked to see. And the facecards are done a little too rough.
So depending on the purpose you'd like to have the cards for I'll put it this way:
They are fair-priced and professionally made. If you'd just like a deck of cards to play Sabacc I can still recommend them. (That's what I'll use them for)
But if you are hoping for an accurate replica for display purposes, you'll be dissapointed. (Especially compared to any of TB's former runs...)
So any other people who are working on a deck - we are counting on you!
