I hope those that wanted a limited edition have locked in there pledge. I was right on the launch and only managed backer #47! Congrats to those ahead of me. I think this was actually nearly funded in under 2 minutes TBH. I think this has outgrown Kickstarter at this point. You might want to offer the box and such directly on your website to cut out some of the overhead costs (just a thought). Anyway, big congrats David. This has been a great series, and no easy feat.
CupcakeBaron, I saw the box on another thread. Nicely done.

Aw thanks! I ended up deleting the images because I suddenly became paranoid that the folks at Vanda would mind my attempt at drawing the logo on the box rofl. I'll admit I was excited to share it but I'd rather not ruffle any feathers.Bradius wrote:I hope those that wanted a limited edition have locked in there pledge.

I'm glad I backed the original campaign for the whole set. I don't have to worry about missing the new campaigns

yea, I got my pledge in under half a minute and still was backer #31 - theses campaigns are like a mad dash but so worth it. Congrats on funding so quickly! 
But now that it's over, I'll need some time for the rush of adrenaline to wear off before I can try to sleep lol
And CcBaron, you should post in the DIY on how you made your box - very cool and nicely done

For the previous decks, were there 120 SE+LE deck pledges available from the start?

I looked at previous 2 planets. They had 500 total LE available like this one. 2 tiers, x1 and x2 decks with LE.Bikefanatic wrote:For the previous decks, were there 120 SE+LE deck pledges available from the start?

There were 30 original 1+1 backers for the whole series and another 63 increased there 1+1 for Mercury only to 1+1 for the whole series. There also were 19 (including me) that were original backers for 2+2 for the entire series, and 17 more that upgraded from 2+2 for Mercury only to the whole series. During the Mercury campaign David let those with an LE Mercury only tier upgrade for the whole series.

He originally held back like 30 LE decks for the final campaign.

Here's the box that I made to temporarily hold my decks as they come in. I'm super excited about the series and also semi impatient so I wanted something special until the display case you have planned is available. You can't see it but the top of the box has a drawing of the solar system in silver as well.davegk wrote:What box image are you referring to? Curious to see...CupcakeBaron wrote:Aw thanks!

oh, hehe—cool! Just wait until you have a proper display case...

I just received my decks for Mars yesterday. I really like that the backs of these cards are a brighter red color and not like a washed-out or faded color to that on the tuck case as was the case on the first three decks in the series. These look and handle great.
