Was just coming here to post about this. Looks like another winner from Paul, REALLY looking forward to the possible foil backed collector's edition.

Re: Celestial by Encarded (Nov 22nd) (wap)
Hey y'all. Been slammed with stuff all around so haven't posted in the forums much lately! Apologies for that. Yes, these will be up for preorder tomorrow. Based on Zenith and Chancellor they will probably sell decently fast but you never know. The product pages are on the site so you can look at what we have for images and prototypes right now. I think these will look pretty great, I just hope everyone likes them! EPCC has done well for me so far and produced some great cards and I expect these to be the same. Be ready tomorrow at noon!

Re: Celestial by Encarded (Nov 22nd)
Tried to snag 2x Celestial Reds, said sold out in cart. I managed to away with one in the end though. I don't know if it's a cart error or if they simply flew out the door. Thought I would give a heads up here. If you can snag some blacks, get on it! I expect these won't last long at all.
TL:DR It's completely up to you.

Re: Celestial by Encarded (Nov 22nd)
I was just able to order another black one (total of two for me). Are you sure you didn't have more than 4 in your basket since that's the max number allowed per order?

Re: Celestial by Encarded (Nov 22nd)
No it was the Reds that I could only snag 1 of. The blacks weren't a problem at all. I thought it was interesting that the 500 print chase deck I could get np it was the 1000 chase deck I was limited to 1 of.chach wrote:I was just able to order another black one (total of two for me).

Try again, because I was having the same problem and now I could place my order without any problem..Fes wrote:No it was the Reds that I could only snag 1 of. The blacks weren't a problem at all.

I'm guessing Paul is realeasing the decks small batchs at time, so those are available for longer time....

Edit: I was able to purchase some more. Cart is working well now!

Re: Celestial by Encarded (Nov 22nd)
Paul, I went to buy my four decks of each, and your store is saying you're sold out of the red backs. Any chance you could loosen some reds up for me? Thanks!
Edit: Ah! I see this same issue has been reported by others here.
Paul? Are you monitoring?

Re: Celestial by Encarded (Nov 22nd)
Via Encarded Facebooksite (45 minutes ago):
"Celestial sales update: about 50% of both decks have sold so far. If you get a notice that they are sold out, it's because curious people are putting a huge number of decks in their cart, which temporarily puts a hold on them. Try again if it looks like they are gone. I will certainly mention when they are actually fully sold out.
And please don't add hundreds of decks to the cart unless you actually want to buy that many."
Maybe thats the reason...

$24 shipping for 3 decks. And I still went through with it, because that's how much I love Paul's work.

Re: Celestial by Encarded (Nov 22nd)
I know, and I hate it too as it really hurts sales. But with the USPS these days, anything over 8oz (so, more than 2 decks) to anywhere in the world other than Canada is almost $22 just in postage. It's soooo harsh. But, thanks anyways for the support and take some satisfaction that you are helping reduce the US gov't debt.MagikFingerz wrote:$24 shipping for 3 decks.

Any updates on these? Site still saying preorder for December delivery, but I'm assuming that's no longer realistic?
