Yup, I agree with Bradius - this is a great deck that is available with many options based on your budget. Whether you get the non-metal or the metal deck, it really is something everyone should aim to add to their collection - it's a great set of decks!

If you're sitting on the fence or intending to back us, please do. We really need your backing to push this over the line for everybody and then also to get to a stretch goal at $45K, at which point we'll get a special display card to every backer again as we did on our Vegas Diffractor campaign.

Thanks all
I was in the original campaign for the EB Emerald Metal. This wasn’t even offered for the relaunch, only the full priced metal edition. Yes I know it’s only $10USD but it’s a principle for me.

Disclaimer: I was in the the Vegas campaign and was very happy with the quality and content of what was delivered.

Time is running out, so time to get on the train. I just noticed it is nearly funded now (less than $900 to go).

I think someone picked up the top tier, which was 30 full sets and three brass stamping plates of their choice for $5k. A lot of money, but it works out to $167 per complete set (London Blue and Green metal with display case, London Classic, London Blue and London Green) - 150 decks. Besides being my hero to help get this funded, they get my Bradius Squirrel of the Month Award for being a a big pile of nuts. :ugking:

I think someone's making a move on the NPCCD set tonight! I see you are offloading some other KS campaigns, so I have to assume you're in on the Secret Kingdom set or two of them, lol :D

Partially, too many decks popping up here and there is one reason; but mainly it's due to other living costs [MURRAY]
But I could tell you the NPCCD launch isn't one of the reasons :mrgreen:

FYI - I've dropped my early "London Twin Metal Set PLUS (EB)" tier and downgraded to the three non-metal decks. After seeing some youtube videos of the metal deck, I realized that I wasn't a fan of the metal cases... So for anyone that wants it, go grab it before someone else does!

@VXD - i apologize for downgrading my pledge, but i'm just not liking the metal tucks after closer looks...

Difficult to judge the qualities from a YouTube video, but respect your (and anyone's) choice.

4 days to go people....please jump on board if you've been on the fence. It'll be at least 2 years until the next Diffractor project.

Yes, we are going to transition into a factory, alongside our specialist factory 'Vrijdag Premium Printing' in Holland and offer not only our own Diffractor printing tech, but all the other amazing new print finishes that Vrijdag can offer.

It's not an immediate transition but we will effectively be 'open for business' within 2020.

Yes, all designers are welcome to contact me anytime, to start get preliminary info.

Thanks and regards

Ladies & Gents

We're into the final 48 hours of the 'London Diffractor' campaign. Please help us get to that stretch goal at $45K....it's only $2.5K away and very do-able in these final stages.

To all UC members that have supported us...THANK YOU!

Without you we wouldn't be making such crazy playing cards! :lol:

Aaand....funded! Congrats Alex and team. Thanks for granting the stretch goal anyway. I was already in for a bit when I realized for a little more I could nab the Metal Master EB tier. No standard tucks or classic deck, but I am fine with that.

Congratulations !
What a nerve racking campaign! This campaign had a forth and back situation. I've watched this very close.
After 2 days it got almost stucked between 33k-34k till someone picked the 5k reward tier -> 40k funding goal reached.
But then some dropped their pledge and it went down below the goal. This happend twice !
Imagine the 5k reward would have been dropped in the last few hours... :?
I'm happy to see this funded :)

Hi all

We / I have been away quite a while, from this forum. Personally, I had some issues to address and for the first tie in my life actually got a therapist to talk over what it was that was causing me grief in my life. It was hard being active on media and trying to run projects during a time when I was feeling bad myself. But I am feeling much better for my time away and the help I've received and support from friends and family.

Anyway, I'm not here to talk about that only. I just wanted to say, during the crazy time we've all been experiencing over the last few weeks, that I hope you all are not personally affected health-wise and I hope the same for your families. We here in Germany are looking to come out of lockdown soon I think. My countrymen in the UK have had it rather worse, as has the US. But we've all been affected of course, pretty deeply.

Take care all and stay safe until the lockdowns lift and we can get back to some normality and business as usual, whenever that may be.

Andrew


P.s - Another update for the London Diffractor and the Frozen Metal Diffractor projects is coming very soon.

I am sure they are impacted like many others due to manufacturing delays caused by the Pandemic as their manufacturers are in Europe and China. We had some significant delays in their last campaign due to having to re-manufacture the metal cases. While it took awhile to get a new manufacturer for the cases, they got it done. I have no doubt they will get it done this time as well.
