Wow! Finally people are getting their decks!
I sent the last packages two days ago (only a few demo are to be sent tomorrow). I have all the tracking numbers but I'm afraid I'll have to give them on request, eventually. It's a work that is done manually and I clearly underestimated the time I need to match all the receipts with the names...

As for the non rounded cards, they are from one of the print runs that were scrapped. I thought it was a good idea to include these in your packages.

Have to say that double-foiled back is looking f***ing delicious.
Yes, I might be the guy you remember from that thing at that place way back when.

I got a rather nice parcel today!
4x icons imperial
1x icons imperial silver
1x trial edition
1x signature edition
2 cards from demo edition (I think)
1 lovely large foil print of the QoH

(I popped the sacred deck in the picture too!)

No demo deck in this package - but I can hardly complain! :D

Mine's out for delivery, hopefully they get here before I head out! Or else I'll have to wait to pick them up Monday. :(

So excited, looks like I'll be getting mines today. As for the Queen pic, I wonder if it has anything to do with the 3rd deck in the series. .

Which one is the ICONS Imperial Silver? I guess I somehow missed that...

Anyone have a close up of the Trial deck? It's missing from my package. :(

Btw, I didn't get a print but I did get 4 packets of the rounded & non-rounded cards! This is great since I don't open the sealed decks!

Got mine today. Everything looks even better than expected, especially the Signature edition. I really want to open the Signature, but I'd have to break the string.... first world problems.

These were worth the wait to be done right! I counted all the cards just to make sure they were there. :D Lotrek can take a breather for now until September comes.

It's the top left deck on the right hand side (sorry about the out of focus shot!). It was a super limited run available on a very limited tier and as part of the 4 deck tier. THe gold and sliver foiling on the back is reversed in this deck.

The trial edition is next to it - (and has trial edition written along one edge)

Is called ICONS Imperial Reverse, at least that was the name Lotrek gave to it.

50 people in the world have it while Lotrek has the other 5 which he'll never sell. Before knowing of the deck, people pledged the 4 deck tier curiously.

I received my cards yesterday and have opened each deck. It turns out that not all of them were perfectly assembled (I won't go into details here; I'll PM Lotrek with the deets), but I know that Lotrek will make good on the very few cards I'm missing. It *is* possible to open up the Signature decks without cutting the string. In fact, it's possible to open them, inspect them, and put it all back together and make it look exactly as if it had never been opened at all. Even so, the attention to detail on the wax seal -- everything with regard to the tucks, really -- is amazing.

All that said... the cards themselves are some of the most exquisite card art I have ever had the honor of holding. These are simply magnificent.

Great job, Lotrek. Truly, a work of art.

This was the plan long ago. Black Mass and Black Gold will be ready in September, eventually.

Allow me to say this.
You should not expect your problem to be fixed here .... Contact the man himself personally.
These little ineficiencies can be expected, give the known work load/rate the gent has given himself to effect the distribution of the many and varied editions produced ....
Posting here is a bit unkind imho.
Give the bloke a chance.
O, I beg of you your comprehensions,
yet laugh at your contempts ....
my only competition is with myselves.

But Lèse-majesté, especially >Normans, natch.

Is jarnstill the Ars of the Hors Nebulous ?
Neigh .... the Effluxor of the Omniverse ??

Mine arrived at the post office last Monday, but I only picked them up today. They may be a year late, but damn (pardon my French) they look good with what is likely the most sophisticated foiling stamping in my entire collection. Well worth the wait.

Picked up my package from the post office today. Pardon my French, but HOLY SHIT!!!! Lotrek, you've just received my vote for most every category in next year's awards. Seriously, these are just incredible. Going to have to order some more cases to protect them now.

Oh, and who got #1 of the Demo Edition? Did you hold on to that one, Lotrek?

Strange, I can see it even without logging in to my account...
Thankfully no hate messages, LOL!
And I never requested the project to be hidden. No idea what happened.

EDIT: Wait! My project is "ICONS" Imperial edition playing cards, not ICON playing cards. There was a project called "ICON" (without "S"). Maybe this was hidden.

It _IS_ Benji Taylor's "Icon" deck from 2014 that got hidden, although IHNI why. Of course I haven't kept up with that particular one, but - maybe somebody can enlighten us?

Same.... :(

I am sure I will be over compensating for that in this new Icon deck, if there is not a limit on what one can purchase.
