my previous package (maestro 3) showed no parcel found too
i'm using https://www.17track.net/en instead, which did show where my package is.

Thank you!

Just received mine (California).

I can't believe Lotrek released this as a test print. My copy doesn't seem to have the imprinting issue and looks damn near perfect. The cards are light and smooth, a huge contrast with the original Silk decks.

The purple looked brown in my room until I put it under the sun, and had a moment of shock when I realized I hadn't been looking at it accurately. Here is a picture highlighting the purple:

When you see the official edition, you will.

How many non-test decks were made?

Zero. Yet.
I'm still waiting for the stock to arrive

Oof. How many will be made? Based off the preorder window

I got my test deck today! This deck is awesome! Is that date a self deprecating tongue-in-cheek joke?

You're pretty much saying "You ain't seen sh!t yet."

From now on, I'll be a test deck collector. Cards shuffle well enough. I haven't got them to shine the purple yet.

Got mine today. Hey, these ARE nice.

Did you all got a notification when these shipped? I'm in the US and haven't got any email regarding shipping.

Yes got shipping notification from gamblers

Yes

Update... I emailed Lotrek few days back about my "test" deck and he responded back promptly to look into my issue. Lotrek got back to me recently and got Gamblers to ship out my test print deck. I just received my tracking number via email from GW.

Thank you, Lotrek.

Preorders for this deck seem to be open again, does anyone know if this is intentional or a mistake?

Didn't see anything mentioned in Patreon. If you want it order it, worse that happens is lotrek cancels the order if it was unintentional

Mistake. You know me...

Nice photos @hsbc, may I ask what camera/phone you used to take them?

Nothing special, iPhone SE 2020

From IG. The Silk Player’s looks incredibly nice! Really looking forward to these!

So vivid! Lotrek said they would be for Patrons and public release. Now we wait and see if that's a pricing difference only or if there are two versions of the decks like we see here! Can't wait

I’m thinking there will be a blue and a red players similar to Arabesque. Likely a limited silver for those waiting on Royal Silk.

I commented about this on IG, but hopefully these pics are of the hard proofs. The Queen of Diamonds looks to have the wrong artwork. Hopefully there isn’t another reprint in store.

It's Lotrék so I'd expect nothing short of three reprints and one warehouse fire. /s

Silk Players? We need to receive both of the official Royal versions.

Look at the pictures; is she diamonds or clubs? Originally clubs, I think.

maybe lotrek is going with repeating courts this round. for the queens at least =p

PS- how is it that we dont have the 4 suits for smilies on the forum??

LOL. Wouldn’t it be just like Lotrek to have a reprint of the deck that was supposed to make up for the delays in another deck further delay the delivery of said first deck?
