I just got a shipping notification too and excited.

I'm confused about the tuck and back of the Dynastinae Rex. It looks 2 way but it's supposed to read 'Successor' in the middle or is it a one way?

The back of the Dynastinae Rex and Prism features an Ambigram: it is a word where you can read it in both ways - so its still a two-way back

Same picture. 180 deg rotated

I love ambigrams. I remember reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown (fantastic book and movie), and the ambigrams in there are phenomenal.

It's my favorite Dynastinae deck by far.

There are reports of Successor decks hitting the wild! Please don't forget to snap some pics for social media with #TheSuccessorTGW to enter the give away to win a Successor Prototype deck (1 of 31).

Receiving one of my pledges today still waiting on shipping notification/info for my other one.

I received mine today!!! Gamblers Warehouse handled distribution for my decks. They are simply gorgeous, and look better in hand. I pledged the 4 deck set - white, black, red and blue. Amazing!!

Yay! Amazing. So glad you like them. I’m especially proud of the white deck!

They do look nice. However, my white deck has scuff marks on the side under the cello. It is the side that says "Designed by .." Being on a white tuck it is prominent. The other side does not have any scuff marks.

I’m sorry to hear that. You mind posting some pics?

My deck is gorgeous! You are three for three Omar in producing truly classic cards. Excited for the next one...

Here is a photo. Sorry my photography skills are not good. I did check and the marks are under the cello.

Now I know the White one will be cellophaned like that, gooooodd

All this teasing!

I wonder what the rationale was behind having the Ls in "WILL not be confined" to look like that. I wasn't sure if it was an error on the tuck but I noticed it was on the photos of the campaign too. Reminds me of National Treasure when subtle wording like that would point to a clue of sorts.

I would've liked it if the Dynastinae were numbered out of xxx, not xxxx. By keeping the outer two windows blank and moving the numbers inward/centered, it would've looked better than a redundant 0 in the front of both numbers. I'm only nitpicking things because I'm left to twiddle my thumbs waiting for these decks. This was the most I spent on any campaign to this day with backerkit included.

I got a shipping notification on May 4th with expected delivery on the 9th. I just double checked and it's still at "label created." Somehow this is more painful than the months of waiting. The wait continues but I'm excited.

I just went with the black deck. I love the white deck, but my days of spending that much for a deck of cards are long behind me. But they are all beautiful.

Amazing pics HSBC. Thank you so much for your support. Hope you liked them and that they lives up to expectations.

Kevork! I feel you. I’m sorry that you haven’t gotten them yet. I believe the issue is probably that on bigger pledges gamblers is using ups or FedEx. Which prob means they have a pick up scheduled. I’m speculating. It don’t worry. You will get your items!

And wingedpotato thank you again!

Thank you too! All five decks came out wonderfully, and I'm looking forward to the CAP series even more after getting my hands on these My only extremely minor complaint is that the metal on the white deck makes the deck fall over when stood, so I've placed it laying down in my display case It looks fantastic in any position though

I’ll give you a little trick. .. you should be able to stand it up if you gently scooch the sleeve down a bit.

Timing of the shipping of Successor , for better or worse, turned out very appropriate; coinciding with the coronation of King Charles on May 6th! Funny how it turned out. Heck you could even ride on it by giving a special coronation discount.

No pictures of the Legacy deck shown or it's the same cards as the black tuck?

Legacy deck has black edge printing. Which the standard black version does not.

What deck is the Legacy deck?

It was a KS exclusive deck we unlocked almost near the end of the campaign. See this update:

Is the art on the legacy cards identical to the black cards?

Artwork is the same. The cards are black edge printed however.

Hmm, yeah, both of my white decks came like that as well. Might've been a printing issue that affected a chunk of decks printed? Kind of a shame, the rest of the box looks great but that one side bothers me

On my white tuck deck, it was minor tiny dark spots on the side. I didn't open the others yet but the Dynastinae I'll enjoy too. The triptych of 3 legacy decks is very nice. Hopefully someone post pics of the Successor Prism and sarcophagus!
