Zenith -- by Encarded

[cosmicsecret]

Your Order ID is: #1235
went only for 2 since shipping is killer ($16.25 for 2 decks!!!)

Paul , if you read this please be so kind and write a value of only $20 on the outside....additional 19% of customse would make this order very expensive.
Thanks!

Order #1204. International shipping hurt though. I wish there had been a page listing shipping fees so I could optimize the shipping costs but I guess it's also because different countries have different shipping rates.

Anyway, I'm excited to get these.

[TLZ1979]

121 orders placed in 11 minutes.. wowsers..

can't be that many left, as most seem to have ordered 2 3 or 4 decks. so at least 250 decks i would guess already

[ddorn]

In for one. Plus picked up Aurum Sovereign and a Silver Deco. #1224. Wow, these are moving fast!

[Widdee]

Flying off the shelves. Had a friend who picked up four.

[TLZ1979]

err did i get the last aurum laser cut bundle, as i ordered them, and now they show up as out of stock??

they do show as out of stock now, so you might have gotten the last bundle.

As of 9:32am Pacific Time (i.e., thirty-two minutes past the opening of the floodgates), I completed order #1259.

I hope that all those who most want these are able to get them while they're gettable.

All gone, as of 15 minutes ago. I put a reminder on my computer calendar, pre-loaded my cart with the 2 other decks, jumped on and hit refresh 'til it opened. Even with this, I was pretty far down the order list, when I checked out. (forgot my password and ordered as guest took a few minutes more)

[Encarded]

The rest of the decks will be in the store in about 6.5 hours at 8pm Eastern. So if you missed the first flurry you'll have another chance tonight. I imagine that group will last a little longer than 68 minutes, but who knows. Thanks everyone!

Yeah.... I was all set to go, made sure I was registered, my address recorded, and logged in, with my credit card next to me so I wouldn't waste valuable minutes trying to find it and getting it out of my wallet.

But yes... all sold out as of this writing, but wasn't there some mentioned earlier that there will be another batch on sale a bit latter on?

And if not, I've never been involved in purchasing a deck that sold out in under and hour, or was it even in half an hour.

One more thing and I'm going to bed - international shipping sucks! Almost a third of the monies went into it.

It absolutely does. The postage cost is so high, and I can't really do anything about it. But if you think USPS is high, don't even think about something like DHL, UPS or Fedex. You'd need to take out a loan.

If it makes you feel better, think about what it cost you to pay for that shipping, and then add up perhaps 100 of those and spend all that at once in my shipping software. That is always a bummer.

What's this Tendril Ascendant i'm looking at?? :O

later this year! still crafting that one...

I know that Zenith is the first in your Signature Series decks, but do you have other non-Signature Series decks in the pipeline too?
Just wondering if you will also have some potentially less expensive and higher print run decks too

Just thought that I'd repost this question since I happened to post it originally right before the madness started...

Thanks,
Mark

[Godzillian]

Whew, barely made it. Order #1251, with 2 Aurum Sovereigns and 4 Zeniths. I had second doubts, but realized how large the demand was for this deck, so *boom* my wallet shrank again.

I can't wait for this deck. The full bleed will make amazing giant fans!!! D:

mark, yes there will be more signature series decks. I also have plans for an "everyday" deck and Tendril Ascendant this year. So I'll be covering the gamut from cheap everyday, to high end, to crazy-nuts limited. I aim to have a little something for everyone.

So when do the details on Tendril Ascendant come out and will it have the color scheme depicted? Thanks!

Yeah... I realise there is nothing you can do, at least I'm thankful that you ship to Australia. Tried getting some decks on Amazon, but forget about it - they don't do it.

On a side note, I would have though with the competition of 4 Post Senders (USPS, DHL, UPS, FedEx, did I miss anyone?) international postage would be competitively low?

[montecarlojoe]

Grabbed two (Though I was panicking a little - the bus I was on had teh slowest "free" wifi on the planet!)

[shadowkat]

Ironically, when the exclusive UC batch was offered, I was at a Magic Lecture with Joshua Jay! I work nights and go to bed around 6am Pacific. I set an alarm for 8:55am and bleary eyed it to the computer, ordered myself two decks. Have no idea what my number was but have the paypal confirmation! Hooray! Thanks Paul for original thought, design and creativity. :j

[chach]

So did Th4mo get any, or did he miss them again?

[Encarded]

In case any one missed it, the remainder of Zenith will be in the store in about 20 min.

[jeb]

for 2 decks, costs me over 50USD, that is a lot

[Eoghann]

The last Zenith batch is live! Get it while you can!

[Encarded]

About 200 of the 1000 are left at this point. The second batch is going a bit slower, so there is some time, but who knows how much?

[Gareth]

Still available after 100 minutes... amazing.

I missed the (noon) release, and almost missed this one too. Got a pair on order 1306!

I was in New York last week and met with the folks at EPCC, they had one deck of Zenith's in the office...and it was open. I had the unique opportunity to play with them and inspect the quality. They by far surpass anything I've ever seen before. The quality of the tuck box paper stock, embossing and foiling is absolutely incredible! The cards handle so well right out of the box and of course the design is (in my opinion) the best Paul has ever created. Bravo Paul, anyone who owns a deck of Zenith will be very very happy!

Thank you for the kind words Chris, that means a lot.

[Mike Ratledge]

Ah, I misread something somewhere. I thought they were gone. Can't be too long...

I got 4 on the #2 order, Chris.

[elcyciB]

I wish I had enough for a pair so I could open one, but at least I've got a fantastic centerpiece! Great work Paul

[Bikefanatic]

I got one in the morning. So we'll start getting these next week?
