Will both versions of the deck be available tomorrow?

What I don't want to do is buy lots of 1 version just to find another version gets released a week later.

I shouldn't had said that about the 2nd version... It will have a totally different back design, different color scheme and a different but matching tuck case. I'll probably produce them at the same time since they have same courts but the second edition will be released at least a month later.

Thanks, Good to know so I can plan my spending accordingly

Hmm, yes. But it's available to all to see it, one does not have to be my friend to see it, they can be my enemies, too.

So, I checked it out; it's not available to view by anyone that's not explicitly your fb friend & is protected as a private upload

No worries though; I took a look at the page source - just a few small changes here, some code changes there, worked my magic and got around the privacy setting to get the vid clip... the privacy settings are honestly a joke and, since it's only like a few seconds long anyways, I turned it into a gif because, well, that's what I do...

here ya go :



btw, your video quality is terrible and there's unfortunately nuthin' I can do about that lol

oh, also, did a cat get in there...? I dunno how that must've happened...

I love terrible quality videos!

Thanks Pipchick!

Nuts. I'm new to this. I only just now signed up on Lotrek's website. Am I too late?

I see something new nobody else has mentioned, no limit to the amount you can order since it looks like you'll be printing however many are ordered in total. That with the 7 day period is a good idea I think. Maybe there should still be a limit such as a brick (for the incredibly wealthy) but It'll be your lucky day if a loaded re-seller comes along and orders 200! lol

Yup, very happy with the 7 days pre-order. I don't have to set my alarm for an unearthly time or slip out during a work meeting to get chance to buy it.

Also love the 2 options of buy now or put a down payment for those financially strapped at the moment. Hope this works out for you Lotrek and becomes your SOP.

What? Limit to just ONE brick????

7 days preorder, but... how many decks are there for each version?

Since Lotrek said "There is no limit to the number of decks you can order." I suppose it'll be depending on the size of the pre-order.

Then That will be the question.

If it is not limited, why some people bother someone buys a house of decks? They could have as much as they could if they ordered within 7 days, no one can resell them if the decks are so much in the market.

If it is limited, then all the 7 days pre-order is pretty useless, it is basically first come first serve and you need to wait at 5 pm to guarantee a deck.

It is limited to the number of decks that will be sold during the 7-day presale. I'll only print a few more decks for safety reasons (damaged tucks, lost packages etc).

I'm on my phone and until I zoomed in I thought this was a picture of a woodpile. Imagine my relief when I found out it was just a dad joke and you weren't threatening to burn Lotrek at the stake for cutting you off at one brick.

Since it appears that I am not limited by Lotrek to one brick (my bank account is sadly another, more real, limiting factor) it did not come down to considering such measures.

I'm on board, Lotrek. It's about damn time.

So WHAT is this going to look like in the end? On one image, it looks like gold-on-gold-on-gold, and then on another it looks like gold-on-red.

The back is gold on a deep red. The faces will have gold on red, white and black. It really doesn't matter. It will be spectacular regardless of the colors.
The tuck case will be the first option I posted. Black on black with the SILK word in embossed Gold.

To celebrate your getting on board, I'll throw some diamonds in your copy.

Thirteen of them, to be exact

I'll get two today and two more a month later.

The tuck looks great either way. The back design is pure $$$$$.

Lotrek, I recall you mentioning at one point that there were going to be two different deck designs. Is it just one design right now and another later? I am just trying to manage my finances. I don’t want to back this thinking it is two designs and find out later it is one design, and another released later.

Hey Brad,

I asked the same question.

One deck released today & another version to be released nearer completion (in about a month or so) as far as i'm aware

the black tucks with the gold crown look super good! also, that all black deck back looks pretty nice as well. just saying

IT IS ONE DESIGN. There will be a second edition with completely different back design, different tuck case and same courts but different color scheme. The second edition will be printed at the same time but will be released at least a month later, maybe more.
This is only one edition and there will be no other color variations of the same design.

GabeCord wrote:that all black deck back looks pretty nice as well. just saying

Yes but the 3D effect is weaker than in the gold variation. I'm keeping it though for something that I'm up to and it will be much better!

Just to push it even clearer, would the second edition be named totally something else? Then that would be a fully new deck instead of a 2nd edition in my understanding. Or is it kind of like the Icons Imperial vs. Icons Sacred?

It will be named SILK plus something else maybe. But the word silk will be there for sure.

"Dairy Milk SILK by Lotrek"
"Comes with caramel and purple foiled tuck paper---Super DURABLE!"

Yay I got "spammed" with Lotrek emails.
