Re: Ambassadors by Lotrek -- Live on KS
In the comments section of the campaign, Lotrek advised that about 180 signature decks were sold. That is nice. That makes them more than twice as rare as the Red and Grey Collectors decks, but a decent bit more common than the Icons Imperial Signature deck, which had only 120 issued. I will be interested to know about how many of the player's decks are going to to be printed. I am going to think the Player Decks may turn out to be the real bargain in the campaign at those prices and limited to no more than 1,500 each. Anyway, it looks like the campaign went well. I hope it met your expectations Lotrek. You ran it a bit differently than previous campaigns, and could already get the collectors decks out to folks leading into the kickstarter campaign.

Re: Ambassadors by Lotrek -- Live on KS
I think these decks are a steal at $13 each. Blinged out tuck, metallic inks on both sides of the cards, hopefully numbered "seals" on the bottom so the tuck can be opened, and free worldwide shipping. Yes I hope you see profits from this Lotrek and everything works out printing, shipping, happy backers!Bradius wrote:In the comments section of the campaign, Lotrek advised that about 180 signature decks were sold.

The Signature deck is the only one that doesn't look like a pack of cigarettes.

Best to follow the Kickstarter project first. Read the updates and comments.portcullis wrote:How are things coming along??
Lotrek tweaked the courts for better red vs green. Files sent to EPCC, fabric ordered to make Signature decks as of Dec. 5th. I'm betting EPCC will/is closed for holidays.

Re: Ambassadors by Lotrek -- Live on KS
Lotrek's website now has all of his Ambassador Collector Edition Grey version decks sold out. From what I could see, there are only five more red versions available. If any of you have been on the fense, this is the last call for the few remaining collector edition decks from Lotrek.

Re: Ambassadors by Lotrek
Sorry for the Veruca Salt impersonation, just a little excited that these are the first Lotrek decks I have been able to afford; and I'm being a little greedy receiving them.

Re: Ambassadors by Lotrek
No problem. These are a great looking deck, limited too (not as much as his hand made decks), but it's a start for you.portcullis wrote:Sorry for the Veruca Salt impersonation, just a little excited that these are the first Lotrek decks I have been able to afford; and I'm being a little greedy receiving them.
Look at https://www.oathplayingcards.com/shop for VeneXiana decks. Great art. Look on Youtube for a review.

Re: Ambassadors by Lotrek
So it's been awhile since I've heard any updates on these here or on KS. I understand Lotrek is busy with Arabesque, which I'm thankful for, but that doesn't make me any less anxious to receive these as well...

Re: Ambassadors by Lotrek
Lotrek just sent out an update...On March 12th, EPCC contacted Lotrek and gave him the impression that the deck would be done soon, but since then he has not heard word...he will be writing to them today. It seems that they will be available soon, though.

Re: Ambassadors by Lotrek
Just received my decks today. Only received the pair for which I pledged on Kickstarter. I’m still waiting for the pair that I ordered through the website and, of course, the signature edition. Hopefully Lotrek gives an update on those soon.

Re: Ambassadors by Lotrek
I bugged Lotrek on the last update on the KS campaign about the Signature decks. I didn't mean to be annoying, however I'm sure he is tired of my constant badgering. Sorry Lotrek! Anyway, here is the response I received:
"The Signature decks will be probably shipped from Greece instead of Taiwan. I haven't answered because we haven't decided yet on that. In the next days there will be an update regarding the Signature decks."
I can only guess now that the Player decks are shipping, getting the Signature decks to Taiwan is probably not going to happen, so it makes sense to me that they will be shipping from Greece. As to when, I imagine that will be in the forthcoming update.

I stand corrected. I guess I must have gotten confused with Lorenzo’s recent campaign. ... sigh ....

Fulfillment worldwide is done directly from Taiwan by the same fulfillment center who ships Legends decks (judging by the package).

Keen Hong is the company name. They are very good on packaging front. Only problem I found was that for some countries, end to end tracking doesn't work when package is sent as Taipei Registered Parcel.

Re: Ambassadors by Lotrek
I received my decks yesterday. No complaints but I must say that the Red deck looks a tad bit orange.
