Eye of the Ocean | Part 2 - Stockholm17

[Bradius]

My tracking says it should arrive on Monday. If so, expect a wide angle photo of what is inside my crate.

[mulrich]

How long does Stockholm normally take to sell products on his site after fulfilling kickstarter orders?

[Bradius]

I think it depends a bit. He typically waits until most of the packages have been received so he knows how many items he has as surplus. It shouldn't be too long. Another fun time ahead for sure.

[Bradius]

I almost forgot to post my rewards. Let's see, a Regent Tier with an extra brick, six The Claw decks, five Castaway decks and a few extras and three of the regular decks to open, so I an keep my three towers untouched.

Tower? Pfft. This man is building a castle.

Wow, still lived up being the great hoarder hehehe. Approved, since S17 is da "Lisan al Ghaib"

[mulrich]

Very jealous. Biding my time for decks to hit the website.

I am just getting material to make some additions to my S17 brick house:

I'm hoping the quest is different enough compared to the previous campaign's. I was one of the few who solved it, and frankly would like another challenge rather than a rehash. I guess we'll see when my items come on Thursday.

[brownsl]

Mmh, gatekeepers. Delicious. One day I hope to own one.

I got my set of 4 decks yesterday. Absolutely gorgeous! I started collecting playing card decks after the first Eye of the Ocean campaign, so I had to get the Sun and Moon decks on the aftermarket. The others are too expensive.

Good luck to us!

Mine was supposed to be delivered Saturday, then changed to yesterday, then Wednesday, then to today, and now to Friday. Says delayed weather related. It has been bouncing back and forth to Kentucky and Indiana, when I am in Ohio. It was 80 miles from my home on Sunday. The weather has been great in this entire area, with temperatures in the 50s. FedEx not instilling any confidence in me.

[brownsl]

Sigh, now it is heading to CA. I suspect I will not be gettting this package. Started in Texas, to Arkansas, to Indiana, to Kentucky, to Indiana, to California. It got as close as 80 miles to my home in Ohio, now it is headed to over 2,000 miles away.

[kevork]

How bizarre.

Hi all, friends, if someone has already received the deck, please send a photo of the pieces and aces.

[laitostarr777]

Yes, the deck is awesome! A great example of how to make cards.

Any news on the progress of your shipment?

[brownsl]

It did finally show up. I forgot to update here. It was showing as heading to CA for about a week and then one morning updated as being in Ohio and out for delivery. When delivered, I was worried the package would look beat up, but it did not!

[Bradius]

I forgot to mention in my post that the packaging of my shipment was the best I had ever received. In addition to great wrapping, it was triple boxed with great care. I did let Lorenzo know that the packaging was exceptional. I am glad your package arrived brownsl. It is always a rare treat to get one of Lorenzo's major campaign rewards. I am thankful Lorenzo doesn't produce a ton of these all the time. My bank account couldn't sustain my desire....

Stockholm will start selling decks on January 18. Seems like they're a little behind considering many retailers have been selling the decks for a couple weeks now. Maybe Stockholm will include some of the accessories which aren't showing up on retailers' websites.

To be fair, Lorenzo is the creator and was waiting for fulfillment to be complete before offering the excess on his site. He had told us this ahead of time. I wouldn't consider that behind.

Maybe behind isn't the right word. But the fact still remains that many retailers have been selling the decks for several weeks now. I'm sure Lorenzo will eventually sell out his remaining stock but he probably lost sales by waiting this long. But I also appreciate wanting to complete fulfillment before accepting new orders; and I'm sure he wanted a break over the holidays after finishing a major fulfillment push. I'm still excited for the official public "launch" even if I bought the decks through other vendors; I'm still hoping some of the accessories will be available which I haven't found elsewhere.

I would be more concerned about the puzzle rewards if I pledged for that stuff and it was late. Did he wait to make sure everyone had the items necessary before starting it?

Don't forget may of us retailers were backers of the campaign too.
This is the only way we are able to sell products ahead of Lorenzo himself.

As Kevork stated, Lorenzo wanted to ensure the campaign was fulfilled prior to selling the excess himself and told us this ahead of time.

Shipping almost 1400 parcels some are bound to get lost or damaged. By ensuring the campaign is fulfilled first and allowing a short time frame for lost/damaged packages to be reported gives him a clearer picture of what stock he has left to sell.

Sure, he may have lost a few sales but with a campaign total of almost $250,000 I don't think he'll mind too much

He gave a three month window to solve the quest. Plenty of time and waited for the vast majority of people to have it in hand first.
