It's ok Jackson, people need to calm down. Your estimated delivery time is September and you been sending things out. I could see if it was middle of October. I hope to get mine before end of this week, today or my birthday tomorrow would be great.

i got mine today, i was actually shocked to find a deck signed,( but signed on the foil not the box itself? thats a first).

i was really happy with art, i got it at the same time i got the voyager deck, the difference is quality is a lot. though, i was expecting as much.

i wish i had gotten the gold cert in the unbranded as thats the best box!

The cellophane is signed so you don't have to open the deck, thus losing collectors value. It's not that uncommon really. :)


Hey Jackson, any hints as to when the F52 I will be available for the ones late to the party?

Not %100 sure yet, but once I get all the Part I orders finished and the replacements for those who got damaged decks in the mail I will take stock and post them on my site. I'm guessing some time in November. But there will be a very limited number, I'm guessing only 1 or 200 or so of each deck. Hope that helps.

Still waiting on mine too. You said that we should look for an email when ours is sent? I haven't gotten that yet, so I'm guessing I'm still in the pile somewhere, not en route yet. (If you see one that says Tom Miskey, bump it ahead in the line! :) )

I don't think i ever got an email... and i got my 12 decks on Saturday.
just sayin'... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Fed 52 and Royal Optik arriving in the same week is pretty sweet!

Now if i could just get the Synthesis decks in the next couple of days (some have started to arrive, i hear...)
could be the Best. Kickstarter week. Ever!!!

edit:
And BTW, Jackson, since you're taking requests: If you happen to still have a package labeled "Russell Kercheval", you might want to send that out to one of the backers still waiting for their Quicksilver decks... :roll:
Keep it Sizzlin'!

For those who don't know or forgot, the reason he signed one deck of everyone's order was because he wanted to break the Pedale record at the time.

I just got to say thank you to everyone for you awesome patience. You guys have been a great encouragement throughout this entire process. I do apologies to you if you end up being one of of the later people who are getting their decks.

Funny little bit of info:

I live in a remote town outside of San Antonio called Tarpley, The small one man post office here was about to be shut down because they weren't meeting curtain thresholds for the USPS to justify keeping them open. Just with my packages from the Federal 52 Part I, I have surpassed their ENTIRE volume from almost the past few years combined. Because of you guys we saved the Tarpley post office and they will continue to remain open. Janet the one person who works their is now my best friend and she loves when I roll up in my car and start unloading hundreds of packages every day or so.

Haha! That's awesome!

Unfortunately I'm kicking myself as I'm not one of those people that will be receiving a package from you this time around, hope I can score when you release any you have left over. All set for Pt. 2 though.

It's amazing how a small part of this project could help out people outside this project. If it weren't for this project, people would prolly lose their job.

I think backers should know about this. :)

That's great. Brilliant to hear stories like that where one person's success clearly leads to another.

Part 2 is coming up and since he's doing this full time, they'll probably need to hire more mail carriers.

I received my order last week and it's messed up. I tried PMing and e-mailing Jackson (at jackson@kingswildproject.com) but it's been a week and I haven't heard from him... does anyone have any idea how else I can try to contact him?

Thanks in advance!

Hey Guys,

I chat with Jackson quite a bit. He's currently not able to pull up UnitedCardists, so the best way to get in touch with him is through e-mail.

I know Pierre (badpete69) had an issue with his order he received this week, he e-mailed Jackson and it's getting taken care of.

Be patient guys,

CBJ

Another option is to PM him via KS.

I contacted him that way a couple of days ago and received an answer virtually right away.

Thanks, Pierre! For the record, I'm not upset at all. I know he's a very busy man shipping out thousands of orders. And my mistake isn't even that bad- instead of 1 Bicycle Fed. 52 and 1 Bicycle gold cert., I got 2 gold certs. I'm sure he can fix it. Gold Cert looks AWESOME BTW!!
