I'll definitely be in, as usual.

Also, am surprised that the KS variants back design is simply turning the Standard Back Design into gold and have it foiled. Too bad, the Black Gilded Edition for this volume won't have gold border like the Vol.1

Yeah, the foiling he added ( as an upgrade because it was delayed) to the card front and backs on the standard gilded edition of Fellowship looked incredible. I was hoping there'd be a version of that for Two Towers. Oh well.

There is, it's the foiled edition. It has foiling on the front and the back of the cards. If you look at the comparison image on KS page it explains this.

We noticed the shipping error on our add-ons. We apologize for that. We have adjusted the add-ons with new, lower add-on shipping costs. If you go and edit your pledge, you can remove your previous add-ons and switch to the new, corrected ones. You will see photos of the items and the word "CORRECTED" in the title. So sorry for the confusion and the inconvenience!

Thanks for your support!

Yep. That was the pledge I went for as well.

FotR: 8,259 backers and $657,609 = $79.62 avg. per backer
TT: 4,613 backers $430,828 = $93.39 avg. per backer

So there were much less people backing this project for unknown reasons. I wonder what factors come into play as this was one of those campaigns that reaches far beyond the playing card community.

KS wrote:Hello everyone! Here is a quick production update on The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers playing card project. I'm incredibly excited that we are way ahead of schedule and will deliver most of the rewards months ahead of the original estimated delivery date of November 2023. We have all elements and rewards finished AND in-house except for a few things. Below is a bullet-point list of what we have and are still waiting on.

Playing Card Decks

Non-Foiled Standard Edition - Finished Ready to Ship
Non-Foiled Gilded Edition - Finished Ready to Ship
Foiled Standard Edition - Finished Ready to Ship
Foiled Gilded Edition - Finished Ready to Ship
Legacy Edition - All elements received and in-house, in-house production in progress.

Jig Saw Puzzles

The Fellowship of the Ring Jig Saw Puzzle - Production complete, waiting for delivery

Puzzles Expected delivery to Kings Wild HQ - June 28th.

Other Add Ons

Uncut Sheets - In production
Helms Deep T-Shirt - In production
Gates of Moria T-Shirt - In production

Because we have all the playing cards in-house, if you are a backer who pledged for ONLY playing cards and no other add-ons, we will begin fulfilling them within the next week. If you are one of these backers, please also be on the lookout for an email from Backerkit to “lockdown” your shipping address. If you have already supplied us with your shipping address and are not moving or need to change your address, then there is nothing you need to do. After 48 hours, your address will be locked, and we will begin fulfillment.

If you are a backer that pledged for other items like puzzles or shirts (or anything besides decks), we will begin the fulfillment of your rewards as soon as we receive all of the items. Either way, it is looking 99% sure that we will fulfill your rewards much earlier than the original estimated delivery date of November 2023, as noted in your pledge tier.
