Does anyone know if these decks will be available for retail or on their website anytime soon? I missed the boat on the KS campaign
Based on how Lorenzo has handled Kickstarter campaigns for awhile; yes, he will place his surplus decks up for sale on his shopify site.
Campaign fulfillment first, then surplus, is hiw Lorenzo handles it. Fulfillment is about to start so, I'd say it'll be ~a month-ish until he adds them to his shop.

From what I understand, due to this being a deck created with P52, he has less control over the surplus. As someone who wasn't a collector back when this campaign came out, I am hoping there will be some way I can get my hands on this series, even if I end up only with Sir Octo (not ready to accept defeat just yet).
Sir Octo was going to be the only one I was going to get at first. All 5 of these decks (minus the Crow I don't have) will look so good together. Someone else can post all 6.

The first of my two pledges has come in. I have another "All In" set coming with an extra El Sapo. This is another brilliant set from Lorenzo.
I really like this set as this is a deck I really think Lorenzo just had a ton of fun designing. It shows. So many funny details everywhere you look.

Will you be letting go of an El Sapo by chance, Bradius?

I actually have agreed to sell a full set for someone, so one is already gone.
My phone is almost from 2003. I think it about to be unsupported soon in fact.
BROTHER. All those around me think I'm an idiot for carrying around an iPhone 3G. I can still text, I can still call, I can still takes pictures, I can still browse the web. What else is there? If it ain't broke, why tf would I spend hundreds to replace it? I'm with you.

Battery life. 1 long call and it can die very fast. My company Iphone 6 SE is always being charged. So annoying.

I mean you're stuck on 3G with a 15 year old processor. I'm almost surprised you still get any reasonable data with just 3G. The old systems are constantly being cannibalized for newer ones. Camera's only 2 MP with no autofocus or native video recording. No iMessage. Practically nothing supports it anymore (maybe not a big deal for you, but means a lot for many people). I assume you've replaced the battery a couple times otherwise I have no idea how you get through the day on a single charge. Just cause something isn't "broken" doesn't mean it shouldn't be replaced. I still get new cars and computers before the current ones have been run into the ground.
I've spent way more than I care to admit on playing cards, but I'll still buy just about anything that Lorenzo, Jackson, or Gio make.

Hooray for consumerism. Something that works doesn't need to be replaced. If you wanna stay up to date, cool, companies love you for that. But if others are more reasonable with the way they live, then it's weird to try to convince them otherwise, haha.
My son just picked up my mom's old car that I have garaged for several years. It is a 2004 Mercury Marquis with 38,000 miles in mint condition. He is quite happy, even if it does guzzle gas. Some old things aren't that bad.

Oh it isn't that old. It is just an Iphone 6s. I had to take the photo in low light as the decks and box still were wrapped and my office lights were creating a lot of glare. My office isn't the best for photography.
I did open one of the Sir Octo decks. I found it really interesting to compare with the Sensu decks. Both were printed by EPCC and both versions were gilded. However, the Sir Octo handles much better for me. I am not sure why they handle so differently. I am honestly not that impressed with the EPCC foiling results. The over-printing just doesn't look near as good as what I see from Cartamundi's cold foil process. Still, I love both decks for different reasons.

Well, Sensu used metallic ink on the cards instead of foiling, I suppose that might make a slight difference in handling.

Just got my Sir Octo and I agree about the foiling on the card backs. It looks really muddled. The gilding was good though, which unfortunately wasn't the case for Eye of the Ocean.
Received mine today. Agree with everyone that the Sir Octo deck suffers from its foiling. I'd happily spring for a non-foil, non-gilded version of that deck (I LOVE octopi!). The Jakko mini deck is now my new favorite mini deck. Lorenzo continues to lock in my personal vote for best card designer of all time.
I don't see the Odd Fellows stuff, including the mini-deck, on Stockholm17s shopify site, but I am sure he will eventually post his extras there. I am sure a few will be left that you can pick up. He still has some mini Ravn decks still available.
