They just opened up the backer kit store so people who didn't back can get these decks:

Cool to see them switching it up in regards to style.

Hi Folks, So I had missed out on this KS and always wanted to get it but kept on holding off for decent deals. Well, of course I could not find decent deals and at one point these were sold out on AOP site too. Finally I was able to use the Backerkit link for their Blue Jay cards and back the Lux Edition. This edition is just the standard tuck yellow with luxury cards (i.e. Cartamundi cold foil from the Luxury Edition). Really happy with this edition. (Came with DS1 sleeve.

Loved that these came in DS1 Cases and the packaging and fulfillment as done by Jocu in Europe was top notch! I just about needed a blow torch to get my parcel open :D

I love these so much! Everything is so well designed and thought out. Every subtle detail is tastefully done, and beautifully crafted. These will definitely be added to my very discerning collection. I hope to pick up a few extras to give away at my wife’s holiday work party next year (she is a pharmacist).

If mentioned before, apologies for being stupid, looks to me like Arcadia has designed the courts.

these look good, but if they are still $30+ for the non standard deck then it will be another pass for the meadowlark series.

Does anyone have a Meadowlark Luxe by chance? It's the only one I'm missing from Meadowlark decks (minus the prototypes). Please PM <3

I love my standard original yellow Meadowlarks and have been waiting 12 weeks for my Deluxe Edn to arrive. Somewhat of a disappointment. Quoting from KS:

Inside will be a yellow gilded deck! We are doing our best to match the yellow from the deck with the gilding, so it might be more of a yellow gold to make sure that it is shiny (see render below)

It is totally Copper and a bad match for the cards - it matches the Tuck

My disappointment continued with the Blue Jay Silver Frosting that was also in the order
It has a beautiful tuck - color appropriate for Blue Jay but what went wrong with the Backs - the backs are as close to green as blue

Stupid me, being sure I would love them and still waiting on Canada Post's delivery, I decided to take advantage of Socal's specials last weekend and order 3 more (turns out the Socal 15% off has continued and I could have waited to see what the Canada delivery looked like!)
The pic on the wooden table is the actual back and it might look like a washed out photo but it is actually a good representation, the other is from the KS page

I still like both but I should have loved them :roll:
