Another version? This series is really breaking my bank...

Is the leather tuck the same size as a regular poker-sized deck?

Oh shit, for once I'm actually doing something on Saturday. Helping a friend lay some wood flooring. Guess I'll have to take my iPad with me and endure the ridicule.

And if it's UC notification only, why did you post it on Facebook, Mike?

Same here I will be out Saturday, not sure if I will have internet access (I hope I do), I feel it should be available for the people who bought the 4 different Icon decks and sell the left overs to people after, we waited so long and if I'm not able to get on that would make me very happy (joking) I just don't think its fair that anyone can pick one up, hey but that's life. (I will not spend $200-$500 resale on ebay) ahhhhhhhhhh,

Will there be a limit to how many each member can purchase?

When he put out Imperial campaign, he said it's going to be a 3 deck series.

Just tell me when on Eastern time so my ass can be there. Also for $100 a deck, not many may jump on too quick (depending on how the Venexiana Gold decks sold). Though the tuck will be leather, looks too much like Sacred but I'm not fussin'.

Agreed, abot the 3deck series, so which coirts will thesecards have? Imperial, sacred? Something custom maybe?

I lost the overview of all the ICONS.

Refered to the Kickstarter campaign this will be a 3 deck series.

1. ICONS Imperial:
1.1 Original Edition (Kickstarter, 555 Decks)
1.2 Reverse Edition (Kickstarter, 55 Decks, Gift for the "4 Deck" backers)
1.4 Trial Editon (????)
1.4 Demo Edition (Sold by UC Deck Sales, 255 or 299 ??? Decks)
1.5 Signature Edition (Sold by UC Deck Sales, 150 Decks)

2. ICONS Sacred:
Only 1 Edition, 600 Decks *edited, thanks Lotrek*

3. ICONS Secular:
tba.

I hope i got it right, please correct me if anything is wrong or if i missed something.

Greets Azid

If Azid is right then it'll have the same courts as the Imperial edition.
I get the feeling that the leather tuck shown is a digital rendering, so i'd love to see some more photos of the actual tuck (I would also be interested on where the stitching goes through because aesthetically it can make a big difference, and also what the flap looks like, unless you get some super thin leather you are going to have a bulge when sticking it in, also if it IS super thin leather then the foiling may be superficial instead of embedded into the leather).

I just only stuck to the Original Icons decks. As for the Trial and Demo editions without me looking it up, one tuck is black and the other is red.

Though he mentioned multiple gifts (which I broke down in the original thread), I'll take whatever gifts Lotrek has to offer.

ahaha that made my day, I hope I get a deck

Phew! Many questions and I'm deep in my cave working 18 hours a day to get everything ready!

1) There will be no limit to the number of decks per person.

2) The leather tuck case has the same size as the regular tuck, just a little bit thicker and sturdier. This actually makes it very functional.

3) Indeed the pic is a rendering as I'm expecting the tucks to be delivered mid next week. I'll try to post closeups of the leather tuck without the foil but as it's black it may not be very clear. You got to see it in real life!

4) @Azid: Sacred is 600 decks, not 700.

Cool! In that "case" ( ) will the tuck be wrapped? I am usually a fan of cellophane on my decks but I think I would be opposed to it this time. Let the gold-foiled leather speak for itself!

I have to say you are a bit crazy, you have enough stuff on your plate and you just added another three servings!
So we won't get a picture of the tuck case until after we buy? Why not move the sale date? Okay, I leave the questions for now.




Just kidding, here are more questions:
Tuck cases : stichting of leather or glue?
You said they were "hand made by me" but you are still getting them delivered, which part are you making the tuck or the foiling or just the signature penmanship?
how much wood can a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

No time announced yet, maybe push it back till Sunday so people can plan for it?

Yes, I think I'll push it till Sunday or Monday. I'll post an update + newsletter later today.

The tucks are leather glued on gold paper. I'm doing this gluing, foil and cutting is done out and then I'll glue the tucks.

And indeed, I'm a bit crazy. Need to fix that....

Monday launch sounds good to me.

Hope it won't be Monday night since I'll be on the plane.

Yes, you're quite crazy but we love crazy around here.

Next weekend would be better release time for me but I can still pick up a few this weekend.

Sunday sounds good to me. I don't want to miss it if I get busy at work during the week.

Net Friday would be great, for my two cents, because I'll have been paid then!

That was a brain f***. Posted HERE first...

Make it the weekend for me please ☺

Hmm, until now we had custom decks. Next we'll have custom launching time!

Lotrek wrote:Hmm, until now we had custom decks. Next we'll have custom launching time!

With kickstarter it's not so bad. You can reserve the funds from the previous payday, but with a release, notification after payday for most of might I add , it's not known to save the funds. Either way I'm in for several decks.

I don't care which day you launch, my ass is there.

Was panicked when I saw it was sold out already.... Whew.

Here's a photo of a roughly hand cut tuck case... Inside of the same tuck...
And a rendering of the back using an actual photo of the tuck

... my ass will be there as well. It looks very nice Lotrek!
