JEEZ! You weren’t kidding of the many colored foils on the tucks

No. Lol. We wanted to have a stained glass effect!

I read somewhere that Tuck boxes sell cards. 6A7D83FD-FA6F-4565-9AAC-B76A4A64DE1F.jpeg

That’s dope. (Yes, I just hinted at my age)

The word 'dope' says less about your age than does following the word with the mention that it hints at your age lol.

Wow, those red/blue tucks look great. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Lotrek originally going to print the tucks?

Also, for the Tempest decks, I (and a few others) noted the front of the tucks had a missing crease near the top that made it impossible to open the top flaps all the way without making ugly crease marks on the front of the tuck. Since Lotrek won't be printing these tucks (not sure who is for Successor), is it safe to assume the crease will be included on these boxes? Not a big deal, just thought I'd ask.

The real reason those don't show up is because I don't really like them too much. I've gotten used to not pulling the tuck flaps back and i makes the artwork look better.

Do more colors to get it perfect (bad suggestion - don't take my words)

Man, that is simply beautiful and those are just for the basic decks. It would a Limited variant for most others. Hard to believe this is still just your 3rd deck. Are you actively trying to see just how you can top your earlier decks with each new deck?

Hey Eric. In a way yes. Although not expressly. The truth is I want to give folks no recourse to avoid buying my decks. lol. I don’t want “not backing” to be an option. So I figure if i give 110% on each project I maximize my chances. That ends up leading to each project being bigger better and badder than the last.

About that. There was already no question in my mind about backing, only how deep. I may have to dig into my pockets a bit more. I think the box is still too much me, but I may be closer to adding a brick than I anticipated.

What you have shown thus far is looking awesome. Very nice work indeed.

You will be turned to the dark side! Bwhahaha. No seriously. That’s great to hear. Thank you. And I think your interest will only go up once you see how beautiful the final product is. The tucks with embossing. The Cartamundi cold foil b9 finish cards. The whole family of decks.

Put in the skylight, still waiting for the display pedestal to arrive - should be ready in time for campaign…

Lol... Limme guess Gandalf it features purple velvet and gold brocade highlights?

That might be up to the level of the Sarcophagus!

Get out of my head! You nailed it

Well, Jackson's LOTR is certainly showing my fears of a slowed down KS community to be unfounded. Now its a LOTR product so I wonder how much of this traffic is LOTR fans and how much is the Cards Community showing up?

[GandalfPC]

Well, hard to say for sure, but judging from the comments they seem like card collectors.


Other data: Only about 15% new to kickstarter

Interesting. Fifteen percent is not insignificant however. But yeah, it seems as if its card folks. Great to know.

tough competition out there

doubt u see the same results consider how much some decks r costing these poor pups

maybe u should try the wooden-box idea for 200$

successor maybe successful after all

[Bikefanatic]

These tuck renderings are looking great. I scrolled through this whole thread to check out the visuals. I'm looking forward to Successor next month. It's only 3 current KS projects I'm waiting on, I'm selective on my pledging.

[Harvonsgard]

Renders? Those are prototypes/hard proofs if I'm not mistaken.

Not sure I understand your post.

Selling the box at $200 alone would be selling it more expensive than it would be as part of the top tier. Not too mention I can guarantee that the sarcophagus is more expensive to produce than the legacy box is.

Those most recent tuck images are the real thing. You can see some videos of them over on Facebook. Unfortunately UC doesn’t left me post videos directly.

Regardless thank you for your interest. Happy to make the cut indeed!

Not mistaken! Those are the real thing. There are a lot more pictures and moving video on Facebook thread ms in the Rare, Luxury and Limited Edition playing cards and P52 Playing Cards Community groups.

Can you put this on your YouTube channel (could do an unlisted video)? I can't view on Facebook since the group is private
