There are a few orders that include The Tale of the Tempest decks. These haven’t been sent yet and will be fulfilled by Gamblers very soon. All other orders have been already shipped by Wounded Corner and me.

Mine shipped last week, and should be arriving tomorrow, so some have shipped at least. Perhaps he's shipping them out in batches

No, I shipped all R.o.W decks last Monday and Steve shipped all US orders yesterday.

I was one of seven unlucky ones that were on the second page of the shipping spreadsheet and were missed. Looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer for these. TBD. Hopefully the Carat X6 I ordered comes before then.

At first I balked at the price but picked one up anyway. So glad I did. Totally worth it.

Been beating these up a bit to see how they perform - faro works in either direction but is best from top down - I put them into mnemonica using bottom up faros without too much trouble, then did 8 top downs to cycle it with great ease. Springs are nice, anaconda dribble requires a light touch (otherwise clings to the fingers a bit). Fans improve quickly with use, about a 9.5 out of 10 on those.

Pretty pleased - will continue to beat em up

Wow, it really shows how far Lotrek has come with his finish that people are actually doing cardistry moves with his decks! He'll be so happy to hear that his cards are actually being opened and used for cardistry vs being stored in a carat case and never touched. :uggrin:

It's a little annoying that fulfillment was supposed to start and end the first week of this month, people in the US getting decks and but nothing around here.

Lotrek sent the US fulfillment Excel sheet to Steve at Wounded Corner to ship out all the decks. That excel file had two sheets, but Steve didn't see the second sheet before he went on his honeymoon. There were 7 individuals on that page who have their orders still unfulfilled. Myself and a local collector friend are two of those seven individuals. I wonder if you might be one of them.

My uncut tucks arrived on Saturday so that filled the void temporarily but I do get a bit antsy seeing everyone enjoy their decks while I wait helplessly.

So you're saying people who ordered these from Wounded Corner after Steve left on his honeymoon are most likely going to get cancellation notices? I just want one deck, and I missed out on Lotrek's website because it sold out. I would have hoped his inventory would be automated to tell prospective buyers that it's pre-sold out. I refuse to go to eBay for one of these!

Finally got mine today but was missing one of the decks. Ordered 2 of the Icons so I could open one while keeping the other for the collection. Part of me says wait for the replacement to arrive before opening, but the older wiser part says open it now and enjoy life. First world problems, I know.

It may be more 7 people that haven't got their orders. If people ordered the uncuts along with the decks, doesn't make sense to send them separately. I got the decks soon as they were available.

Uncut tucks were sent directly by Lotrek from Greece. Decks in the US were to be fulfilled by Wounded Corner.

Well, I hope Steve has enough inventory to supply the demand. I'm happy for the guy getting married and all, but I was hoping he put others in charge of orders and shipping in the meantime. So we all wait on pins and needles, anxious to get these. Only 1200 were made, so if a lot of you guys ordered bricks, they are going to go fast...and I only want and ordered 1 deck. So like I said, I hope his online inventory is programmed to be listed as "sold out".

If you successfully ordered one, I do not know why you think you might not get it. He did not see the second page and left for his honeymoon. I don't know him but a honeymoon is a pretty significant event in one's life and I hope he enjoys it and does not stress about some decks of cards he overlooked to send before he left. I do understand your anxiousness to get your deck though.

His online inventory has 8 decks left - so it certainly appears everything is working fine. I’m sure there are some extra decks held back by Lotrek to make sure they can take care of issues as well - I wouldn’t worry.

Thanks for claifiying the situation! I'm only 1 year into professional deck collecting, so I missed out on a lot of great decks. So I'm trying to learn the ropes, stay vigilant on new release dates, and networking with several card collecting groups. And you're right, his honeymoon should be celebrated, a significant time in his life, without the thought of selling cards on his mind.
