Hello everybody! New UC member here (even if i've been following your forum a lot)!
I went in for the "whole"(?) TEST bundle plus 3 official decks (333 euros). Can't wait to touch them.
Also grabbed 2 LESS decks days ago, but still waiting for delivery.

My Hail to Mr Lotrek, the one and only.

Were you able to select slice or whole on the test print set?
I am also curious, but unfortunately I was to late cause of really bad weather I had to take care about the house not drowning.

Thursday morning is another drop but only 31 sets available (plus the still available originals of course).

You are not counting right There are 339 regular deck available besides the 111 that are part of the test bundle. So if 290 are left then almost 50 sold

If all original decks are for sale right now. Maybe Lotrek left some for spare for the Australia friendly release.

Its exactly Thursday noon for me, but thanks for the reminder!

EDIT: Down to 234 regular decks btw, another drop of 60. Still hot.

Wow - gone in 8 minutes ?!?!?! I woke up 50 minutes late here in Sydney ... will try again tonight ...

Not really sure if I will be happy to buy a test package or not as I usually buy 2 of lotrek's deck but only have a budget for either the test package or 2 of the normal ones.

I am still scratching my head over "Sliced" vs. "Whole". Has anyone heard a hint? I just hope I didn't pull the trigger for the uncut sheet as some are predicting...

Guys when is the last time you saw an uncut from Lotrek. I am sure it was just a joke or a test of his site.. We are all getting whole decks hehe

I think it was just something left over from the template. Right up until it actually went on sale, there was a boilerplate "refunds/returns" section. Since Lotrek didn't say anything about there being any uncut sheets of anything related to this deck (not here, nor his email blasts, nor elsewhere), I think it was just an arbitrary selector.

Do these count?

Was less than that. I had a test set in my cart at 7.05. By the time PayPal opened, it was gone.

Yeah $125/$195 is asking a lot, but we know it’s worth it.

See you at 8!

It exists!

I also lost time thanks to the sliced/whole and only ended up with #15. I honestly thought he did it just to mess with us and get us flustered! I also had a theory that it meant sealed together or separately.

Got #27 while having to get rid of extra sets in my cart (shouldn't be possible, but it did happen ), and to get an extra regular deck.
Not bad, but I was a bit afraid of missing the set...

As to the whole/slice thing... My reason tells me it's a website issue, my heart that I will get an extra Greek bread, to be sliced at home, then eaten while manipulating Fable with my greasy hands

How do you know which number you got?

shiroo56 wrote:How do you know which number you got?

I was only refering to the order # (10000 something), not the one that will be on the deck and that I don't know of course...

I had to reenter my PayPal details which slowed me a tad but still managed to get in at no. 12.

I really hope whole doesn't mean uncut sheet...

Haha, Lotrek I saw that

I am in for 1 sliced bundle.
Lotrek probably is already designing Charmers so he can't answered whats the difference of sliced and whole.

Got 1!!!!

Just had a thought, maybe there's 2 preparations of foil on the tuck. I think (hope) it might be the sliced deck featured where whole deck might be more of a bordered frame??

Can somebody please order one bundle for me? I am having troubles with my Paypal...

Dunno if I can buy a second bundle. Should I try?

I think it's only one bundle per person, isn't it? But you could buy as many "ordinary" decks as you could afford.

Thank you for the help. I created another Paypal account and it worked

I could put one bundle in the cart and I don't know how the site would know I already bought one. So probably it is possible. Never mind HFMJ got it going. That's why I asked first better than spent to much money I can not really afford. Anyway 1 Left.

First batch (80) - gone in 7 minutes
Second batch (31) - gone in 18 minutes

I think I panicked, but the FOMO was huge.

Managed to snag a set this time ... waited at the Shop page around 7:58PM

Bummer...got busy and missed out again...the first Lotrek deck I will not have a complete set of...first time for everything I guess.
