Well I was planning on doing a bigger fancier photos of my masterpiece deck to show off but have run out of time while. So here it is in a basic shoot. Dale seems nice enough to have upgraded the deck to include crystals. I am having an issue determining the type as it does not seem to match the ones listed, but they look fantastic.

That Crystal is a special crystal I purchased called Rose Gold. I installed them on decks and die where folks gave me the option to choose what I wanted. There are only a few out there with this color option including yours.

Well the frame just got delivered and it looks simply amazing

I picked the Black Frame with the Blue light and also have a white light option. Posting a small movie hope it is clear enough. I added all four dices also for a complete package. The video is stored on my server so it might start a download when you click the link

@Dalemathis - So, what is next on the list? You have proven yourself. Got anything working in the future? Any tidbits you want to share? You can't just be a one hit wonder. You know us, we always want more. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-hit_wonder

Looks great! I don't know if I'd ever turn the blue light on though. Batteries??

It actually looks nice with both the blue and white light together. And no you plug the frame into the wall. No batteries required

Hahahahahahahaha....! No Im not a one hit wonder my friend. Lol..! I actually do have something on the drawing board, actually I had it just before launching this project but put it on hold until I finished this project. Kickstarter is a tough cookie if you haven't done one and I needed to learn from my mistakes before jumping into the next. Anyway, yes I will be doing another. You guys will be the first to know, believe that. Thanks for the support you guys and gals, much appreciated.

Dale.

Very nice! I pledged for 1/2 brick of decks, the frame, the dice, pips. No tracking number(s) yet. I will admit to getting a bit anxious...

I'm still waiting for my deck to arrive, and it didn't have any add-ons like a frame or crystals to slow it down. Should I start to worry yet?

Not sure of your handle on KS or Backerkit so I cant do a normal follow up on your order but if you paid for a deck or 2 then it will come when your name comes up in the order of our shipments.

Nothing for me either - but I'm used to waiting and have every confidence everything is in full swing.

I vote for a self shiffling deck next Dale ;)

I'm in the same boat, Joe...I always seem to be last. Admittedly, I did get in a little late, though. And this is something to think about, all the different combinations of crystals, and 3 common types of mechanisms, that is a LOT to keep track of. Then the bronze/stainless mechanism, frames, dice (with and without crystals), I imagine Dale's minions want to pull their hair out at the end of each day.

That said, HOLY CRAP, I can't wait for these decks!!! :D

Really shaping up to be a game-changer! I sent Dale a note asking about the possibility of maybe using some of the raw emeralds that I have to do a deck. I ordered my two "Blackout" (and gold) decks without the crystals, but seeing the finished product I wish I had gone the other way. Two of those are going to be epic as far as setting the bar for how much you can push outside the envelope and still be "playing card decks", but these are just a special case, no question.

I have raw emeralds and sapphires of various sizes and colors that Donna and I dug out of the hills of North Carolina, not far from where her aunt lives in Spruce Pine. There are quite a few "gem shops" and places that let you dig through buckets of dirt taken from the old mines as well. We spent maybe 5 or 6 hours one day with friends and came home with an old Kodak film canister full of stones - even a couple of star sapphires.

I wish I had some decks and swag from Dale coming that had not gotten here yet, but alas I missed this campaign and have to settle for looking at everyone Else's pics and videos. :cry:

Here is my SS/Bronze deck in the frame. I love how the rose gold crystals capture the light from the frame.

I'm happy for you folks who have received their tucks and frames, but I have not. I got a message from Dale on October 3 saying my frame was in and going to ship in a week, but haven't heard anything since. It looks like he's gone dark since October 6.

@Mike, you showed-off his version 2 metal tuck at the 52+Joker convention, so maybe you're in contact with him -- do you know if he intends to finish fulfillment?

I´m also waiting for my frame to be shipped. Got no message from him about the shipment or how to pay for the shipping of the frame.
I pledged for the Early Bird Frame Tier and seem to be the last guy to recieve his.

The project goal was to be delivered in Feb. 2014 and i thought i would have the frame&deck here before x-mas.....fingers crossed!!!

Bama, Dale said (by email) about a month ago that he would get the domestic shipping done before he headed out, so there is hope. I got a pair ($50/$60 pledge/tier?) of black-out decks and one prototype v2 mechanism with jet hematite crystals. He's usually in and out here, but I don't see a recent comment.

Really poor customer service if you ask me, especially considering how much these cost. Glad I didn't back now.
