I hope these are being shipped in the US by GW or a similarly North America-based shipper.

There were still around 80 decks left a couple of hours before the sold-out sign went up so I'm guessing someone bought the last of the remaining decks. I wouldn't be surprised to see them available from the usual retailers.

I too am looking forward to the patreon / foiled edition so didn't want to go in too heavy on this.
Couldn't decide between 4 or 6 decks so I went for 5 and an uncut, Lol.

I posed this question to Lotrek on Patreon.
He's planning to have the patreon edition foiled & gilded - Let's hope it works.

So someone grabbed my number because I wasn't in a hurrry to get those? Well, okay .

Good chance we won't see this until 2025, so I didnt let it influence me. ha ha

On Patreon he said they're already printed.

Back in stock!

Have you emailed him? I bet he'll help you out!

I am confused by "grabbed my number". What does that mean? Just that you weren't able to purchase a deck even though you are a Patron or that someone grabbed your Patron number?

99% it's the latter. Although, unless that's disclosed on the invoice, I doubt someone would be able to know before having the deck in-hand.

Looks like there are a few back in stock again - well for patreons at least.

Actually, Harvonsgard bring up a very valid point here.

What would happen if all the decks had sold out prior to a number of patreons placing their orders?

I can only presume that Lotrek has set aside the 250 decks needed to fulfil these and only made the remaining 950 available.

I don't know what the exact quantity division was, but that's exactly what Lotrek did.

I jumped to the conclusion that sold out meant all gone - like literally all gone. But I just checked the Patrons section and there're still copies left for Patrons so all's good.

It shows only 25 left in the Patrons section, so I would be quick if you are a patron and still want one.

By the time I wrote this they were also publicly available, at least for some time. Can't say whether that was an error or not.

EDIT: Seems like someone is playing with us.

I have to agree with you.

I think it was likely an error - he probably held some for shipping issues and in case patrons went wild - I think he is putting up groups of 25 in the patron section with some last remaining stock to assure all patrons can get them

Phew, managed to grab 1 with the restock. Thought I had missed it when I saw the Sold Out IG post. 15 left now.

And even received my shipping notification yesterday

So these are gilded with no foiling? Wasn't the foil what made the original decks stand out? That would make these feel more like a gilded version of Maestro III cards although I haven't seen many pics of the actual cards so maybe I'm way off.

Yup. metallic ink with gilding. Patrons version will be foiled.

To quote Lotrek

These decks are on purpose less "fancy" in terms of features compared to the original edition. I wanted the first ICONS to remain the point of reference.

What part of the world do you live? Who is the shipper?

Europe. Deallez seems to be the shipper, I think. I also got a Greek shipping ID from Lotrek directly so I'm not sure which will it be... It can be that the Deallez mail was concerning some other decks..I just can't identify what it could be, lol

EDIT: Most likely these will come from Greece and the Deallez notification was for a Kickstarter campaign I backed earlier.

How do you guys see how many are left in stock?

Type in a very large quantity you want to purchase and it will tell you there are not that many and will tell you how many are available.

CourtCurator wrote: ↑Thu Oct 27, 2022 9:34 am How do you guys see how many are left in stock?

I just throw in a high number, like 1500, and it lets me know how many are left in stock.

I always wondered if somebody typing in a high number will affect people trying to get something. It probably doesn't count unless people actually by the decks or it's in checkout.

I am writing a fast reply to some questions here as we're extra busy packing decks!

1) The decks are sold out but of course we have reserved a number for replacements. After fulfillment is over and after some time goes by, we will make a few more available. Patrons have priority in that case.

2) Fulfillment for Europe and R.O.W is done from Greece, right now. Yes, we actually do that, it's not a prank!

3) USA fulfillment is done by Wounded Corner and some orders by Gambler's.

4) Many of you have received tracking numbers. They are not working yet as we will get all packages to the post on Monday, so they will be in the system that day.

5) USA fulfillment will begin Monday or Tuesday and will have been completed by the end of the week.

Thank you!

I haven't recieved tracking from almost a week now.

Same. I reached out to Steve, but it doesn't seem like we're alone. I'll be patient.
