I'm all in for Hotcakes. Two bricks. Four Yellow edge decks. Diptych hand inked & colored. And one uncut.

How about you?

/bama

Close: two split bricks, both uncuts and four Yellow edge decks... I have my calendar from Pagan and two-deck swivel wooden case + uncuts and two split bricks from Pagan as well.

All you monsters, im busting a fair bit on the project as well by my standards.

I've got coming:

=====[ Pagan ]=====

• Two decks,
• a Diptych print
• and, if the stars align correctly, an uncut as well.

=====[ Hotcakes ]=====

• Two decks,
• and, if the stars align correctly, an uncut as well.

(align, stars, align already!!

I haven't pledged this much since the Jackson's Sherlock Holmes campaign. I'm not entirely sure what I'd do with a brick of hotcakes though. I also pledged for an uncut so I don't really have to open the decks. Maybe I should add more modesty sleeves. Damnit.

Yes, I thought it was ridiculous when I spent $142 at JR's "The Independence" Kickstarter.

Well... I'm down for $244 at Hotcakes.

So what's the most that you have pledged for a Kickstarter project?

Mike and Chad are disqualified from answering.

Im down 180 for this one, the most ever i think ?

Wow I thought the figures would make me feel good but they make me feel embarrassed instead

dont worry i think it pretty clear we all have this "problem": i just about needed to take out a personal loan for lotrek's grotesque.

Heheheh, fair enough! I think Eoghann and I maxed out with Grotesque...

Why, Oh WHY did Kickstarter not exist back when I was ambulatory, and gainfully employed?

Hur hur and i know why, its a pity i didnt get to...

Two more "Yellow Edge" sets opened up.

I was going to jump on board these but I'm rearranging my priorities right now. I'll even be dropping my custom brick pledge and just settle for an uncut. The yellow edge sets are so tempting though.

If I knew what they'd look like and the process that goes into making them, visual, then I might think about it. Otherwise I think I spent too much on this Kickstarter as it is, and like you I also have priorities. Food.

Just changed my Yellow Edge to a brick if someone wants the Yellow Edge.

I'm so tempted - I just cant justify the $75 jump to myself!

Damn tough decisions to make down the stretch...

I just couldn't justify getting 2 decks when for almost the same exact price I get 12 plus an awesome brick box

Stop you guys hehehe you are making me question my $125 pledge what to do what to do

Don't drop it. You'll be the representative of all those people whose hopes and dreams of having awesome Uusi goodies were ruined by life.

hehehe yeah especially since I have every single deck they produced including the gilded edge Pagan deck and the 4 different rare Bohemia error decks

Still looking for that Bohemia blue with seal... It's the rarest of the 4. There was actually one on eBay a couple days ago, in a rare deck lot, but I didn't bid because I was focused on another listing.

2 hours to go!

snsdmonkey wrote:2 hours to go!

Yep. I think Linnea hit the "Launch" button about 1 minute early, so it's actually 9:59AM when the timer runs out. It should change to counting down in minutes if it hasn't already.

Right now as I write this the clock is down to about 75 minutes and that's not very long. The yellow-edged decks are all taken, but if you want one keep your eye on the page. I don't know why it always happens but someone that sat on that pledge for 29 1/2 days always jumps off of them during the very last few minutes, so I would not be surprised at all to see one or more of them become available.

With 30 seconds to go someone pulled out of the $125 pledge hehe and it was not snagged in time by anyone

Lol was that someone you?

Nah.... I rarely pull out of pledges and if I do so I do it 1 week before the projects end to give someone else a chance

I know who it was, or at least I know it was one of two people, anyway. I don't know why but there is one person that is almost famous for doing it, and I'm willing to bet that it was that person, or possibly one other person that always sits on something good until the very last moment and then turns it loose.

Kind of lame, really - it just keeps someone else from getting it during the campaign. I'm certain that Linnea will ask for people that want it and likely have a drawing to fill that last slot.

(and they ended up with EXACTLY $46,000!)

Quite rightly said Mike, I actually PMed LInnea a few hours ago asking if I could add another to my pledge and she told me to wait for something like this to happen. Not with 30 seconds to go though...

Who?

If I had a limited tier like that, I'd decide at least 24 hours before the campaign ends and then maybe give someone who wants it an opportunity to snag it by coordinating a time.

They said in the comments that someone snagged it one minute after the campaign ended so I assume someone sent a PM directly or they had someone on a waitlist..
