It does look like the last two days and second deck unlocked will push this over, now around 95% funded.

It would be quite a shame if this went unfunded. Lawrence didn't help with his early hyperbole - but, anyone who didn't should look. For one thing it's also a great lesson in the history of development of face/court/royal cards!

Looks like some people may have upgraded to other tiers, a few single EBs open.

yeah I was one of those that went from the EB to 2 decks of each. Let's get this deck funded already

I've upped my Pledge as well. Also, I would echo Valerio's comments about Lawrence. Lawrence is a great guy! He makes the behind-the-scenes part of Deck production MUCH more enjoyable and stress-free than they do in Kentucky.

thanks, Randy

It's funded at this point.

I bumped my pledge early this morning as well. I'm glad this deck is funded.

Kept my pledged number of decks the same (switched from all of one style to half and half), but I did add an uncut to my pledge because, in retrospect, those uncuts look pretty smurfing awesome.

Glad the second deck opened up. Looking forward to get getting these in my hands.

Hi everyone!

Memento is coming I got an Email from Lawrence today and the decks are in HK and are shipping right now!

So here are some photos of the final look! I'm pretty sure they will be better once they are in your hands!!!
Sorry for the delay guys, It is my first project, it won't happen the next time!

Thank you again,
Valerio.

Got my Shadow deck today- it's awesome. But I also added on the Light deck and did not receive it. Sent message, awaiting response...

EDIT: They sent me the Light deck about 1 week later. Happy camper here!

So, I haven't been paying as close attention as I should, but... I still haven't received my Memento items, and I backed this one rather to the hilt. Anyone else still awaiting their shipments?

I pinged them this morning (my time), and it's nearing the end of the work day (their time), so I guess it's not entirely unreasonable that I haven't heard from them just yet, but... yeah. I'm bummed I let it get this far out without receiving my stuff before mentioning it to them. I hope I hear from them soon.

That doesn't sound good. I got mine at the beginning of the month. Decent customer service from my experience, you should hear back soon.

I followed up with Legends via Kickstarter PM, and Phillipos from customer service tracked down the likely cause of the issue (shipment was sent out in August, but the address may have been corrupted; the Post Office claims that they delivered it, but they can't actually determine *where* they delivered it.)

Anyway, they sent out a replacement shipment, and I received it this past Friday, all safe and sound. Decks and uncut in great condition. The decks are pretty awesome, and the tucks are particularly well done.

I remain very happy with the cards LPCC produces and am happy with their customer service. Not quite as happy with the post office -- even if it's not their fault that the address may have been malformed (again, we're not certain), their customer service left a lot to be desired.

For anyone looking for this deck post-KS, we have stock now. We're also running a promo for the first 4 days - 20% off.

For anyone who may be interested, with agreement from Lawrence we will be releasing 72 (36 of each) silver edged decks in around 2-3 weeks from now. The gilder is working on them this week.

Are those going to be available through jplaying cards?

I would be interested in a pair

Correct

The Silver edge memento decks are now available and the (average) photos don't really do these justice. They're lovely! 36 of each are available until they sell out, we wont be doing another run. Orders will be despatched by Friday.

Im spite of all the fancy new stuff coming out these days, these decks that Valerio did, along with the very educational sidebar WRT standard court cards history - are amongst my favorite recent decks. So glad to see they were chosen for the gilded treatment! Paul, I hope that you don't mind me being a bit piggish, with so few available, I decided to get a large handful.

Thanks again for keeping the market honest with your recent entries into the gilded decks market! So few people really know the difference between these and 23.75k gilt decks, and your price on these is MORE than reasonable, especially considering the very small batch which obviously qualifies as an "ultra limited edition", there being only three dozen of each available worldwide.

I have to agree. At the time last year I think I said it stood out as possibly my favorite for the year.

And price wise this is actually pretty amazing...

Thanks Mike, they are priced what we believe to be fair. Any more than the £16.99 a deck would feel like taking advantage. We've always tried to be fair, but ultimately we need to make a profit to exist and pay the bills so we are genuinely happy with the price and margin- but then maybe our gilder us just better value. Who knows!?

Excellent, Paul! I shall be looking for the advanced sales notice of the Luxx Elliptica 4 towards the end of the month!

Thanks Mike, they are about 50% sold now. I'd expect them to be gone by Monday or Tuesday.

Sales slowed down the past week - so these are still available if anyone is interested. They won't be produced again!

Got my decks today they look stunning.. Thanks Paul.. By the way no seals?

Bought the normal black one from Legends website and it does'nt come with a seal

badpete69 wrote:Got my decks today they look stunning.. Thanks Paul.. By the way no seals?

Same. I took one dark gilded and opened it to replace my Alloy as my "at my fingertips" deck to use.

Just awesome and turns heads when you pull it out for the right group!

Yup, the Memento deck doesn't have a seal anyway. It would have been far too costly to do just 72 seals (and probably not even possible).

We are working on a 'Gilding by JP' type seal for future non-LUXX gilded decks, but we'll see!
