I did think your guess was a quite bold - its fine with me if you change your answer, as you had hopped in with it before the contest settled on rules and prizes - but I guess I will leave it up to the masses to voice up and grant group permission

So whats it gonna be folks - does rousselle get to revise his guess?

FINALLY!!!
Mine is officially shipped, and it is on is way!!

Definitely can’t waaaitttt

Allan is allowed to do anything in my book, be it only for the Futurama Nixon reference he just made alone.

12 days since I received tracking info and my package apparently is still sitting at GW. Seems ridiculous that it is taking them this long.

I'll go for May 27th. I have 2 separate packages shipped earlier, showed that they left Miami last week, May 2nd but still haven't showed up yet.

Astra Polaris' gilding is so dope.

PLEASE Mine comes very fast, I CAN'T barely keep my sanity for these to be on my hands right now ;(

On that Mini Quartermaster: the list of things - the cross with 325; I guess that means backers who chicken out from the project. And that coordinates on top of Astra Polaris... I wonder.... And, why did I skip the gilding upgrade knowing that I won't be using the deck for gameplay and just for the sake of treasure hunting .w.
So that book comes in that big white box, very interesting - and it's full color~ and look at that hiding place

Can't wait to get mine! Proud to have my name listed among the crew!

My shipment still appears to have not moved since they printed the label on April 27th. Alas. Love those photos, @hsbc, and am SOOOOO looking forward to getting my hands on my own set when it gets here!

Mine arrived yesterday, opened today. My mind is blown. This is so well-designed beyond anything else I have and a worthy follow-up to House of the Rising Spade. I feel like I'm holding artifacts from an alternate universe. This is the kind of deck that makes me sad for what the Lord of the Rings deck ended up being.

Hats way off to Lorenzo. So worth the wait.

No movement on my order since the label was created. My guess now is my order is so insane it is going to take the VP of Operations to figure it out.

In the meantime, I will kick back, have a great weekend and enjoy those great photos.

I will also enjoy watching Lorenzo's latest auction for Patrons. Four amazing decks with an even more amazing bidding war going on. Glad I have all of those decks and can watch from the peanut gallery. What is interesting to me is that the current bid for these four decks is almost exactly the same as my Eye of the Ocean rewards package, which includes 40 decks and a bunch of other stuff. Wow, and I thought I was crazy.

Wonder what my order is?

24h EARLY BIRD: Master Gunner
INCLUDES:

• Solis deck of cards
  Lunæ deck of cards
  Astra Polaris deck of cards
  The Eye of the Ocean: book with wrapping leather and astrolabe

+ 4 extra Astra Polaris deck of cards (black)
+ 1 extra Astrolabe
+ 2 extra mixed bricks of 12 decks: 4 of each kind.
+ 1 extra Trio (1 Solis, 1 Lunæ, 1 Astra Polaris)
+ 10 Edge gilding upgrade for Solis deck
+ 10 Edge gilding upgrade for Lunæ deck
+ 6 extra Coin Sun/Moon
+ 6 extra Bookmarks
+ 5 extra Quartermaster mini-decks
+ 5 extra Wooden Boxes in solid walnut for 6 decks
+ 1 Astra Polaris Signature Edition
+ 5 extra Vinyl Stickers - Spade Island
+ 5 extra Intrepid Ship Badge Pin

So, I will end up with 4 half-brick crate/boxes mixed with 2 of each (all gilded) and one half-brick crate/box with 4 Polaris and one gilded Solis and one gilded Lunae. I will have a set of three gilded of each type to open. One Polaris for the book. One Polaris signature and then the five mini decks. It took me forever to figure out how to put that together and count it a ton of times. I nearly forgot the extra Polaris deck for the book... The extra Astrolabe was a last minute add as I was going back and forth about adding a second book to the order, but settled to just get an extra Astrolabe.

plus all the extra stuff Lorenzo throws into the packages

You’re not crazy, just a little squirrelly.

Quite the mile high pile of goodness you got there

Bradius, can I marry you? XD
You hoard a lot on everything almost everytime, like you got a LOT money to burn haha

Update. Package shipped and should arrive on Monday by Brinks Delivery.

This is the first time in years I ordered uncut sheets. But, yeah, these are absolutely frameworthy.

I only received one tracking number, and yet I have to assume there will be more than one package, given that uncut sheets don't usually travel in the same package as decks. I guess we'll see when my stuff gets here (also slated for Monday, at this point. )

One of the shots of my rewards. No uncut sheets as they were not included in the package I was able to get and didn't specifically add them onto my order.

I will point out that while it was frustrating for the long delay by Gambler's Warehouse in producing my label and finally shipping out my package, their packing was exceptionally well done. My congrats to GW for packaging my order so professionally.

Got my rewards (opening the box shortly to see if everything else was included), but the uncuts, alas, did not arrive with this shipment. I'll ping Lorenzo to see what's up with the uncuts, but other than that, can't wait to feast my eyes on these!

Bradius... you *definitely* are a crazy squirrel hunter of decks, no doot aboot it.

KS update, April 20 wrote:Uncut Sheets

They are shipped separately in a tube and with their own tracking number. The tracking number is not communicated via email because of platform limit (Backerkit). Just wait patiently, it should take more or less the same time as the main parcel.

Yeah, I just looked through the previous updates and found that one, and was about to post as much here, but you beat me to it.

Opened up the parcel, and everything else I ordered is accounted for. I'll be opening up a couple decks when I get home from a school meeting later tonight. Bwahahaha.

Hopefully I can purchase some of the decks upon public release as I wasn't a collector back when the kickstarter took place. That wooden box looks exquisite! I hope it will be for sale too

I'll be hitting you up in the pm soon. I can get you up to speed on certain decks you want.

Could you hit me up on some of the decks too please? I recently started collecting too and missed numerous campaigns so I'm hunting them down...

Lorenzo should have extras up on his website soon (https://stockholm17.myshopify.com/), but don't count on the wooden crate being available Regular decks, though, should be easy to get!

From a recent Kickstarter update:

Sales of the leftover

A release date will be published once I know that all the packages left the fulfillment center. Considering how slow fulfillment is taking and how long the int. packages take to arrive, it might be at the end of the month.

The release date will be posted here on kickstarter, published on my newsletter, and on social media.
Some items will have a purchase limit of one or two units.
Intrepid variant will be available with purchase limit as well.

All items are shipped from Texas, unless there is a badge on the product image saying "shipped from Germany".

Depending on what Lorenzo releases and such, I might put up one of my half-brick sets for sale that would include the wooden box, mini deck coin and bookmark. I kinda wish now I had purchased extra astrolabs for each set....
