Starting an LLC is the smartest thing you can do as a small business owner.
Re: Bicycle 8-Bit - Live on Kickstarter
Absolutely. When I started my flooring business back in 1987, they didn't have LLC's they just had S-corps and C-corps. We were a S-corp which is perfect for small businesses as well. But an LLC is even better,Russell wrote:Starting an LLC is the smartest thing you can do as a small business owner.
Thanks!
Re: Bicycle 8-Bit - Live on Kickstarter
Well, we shall see how this goes. I stayed in for $16, 1 regular deck and 1 Gold (With a Free Platinum, and of course other freebies). I went back and forth as to whether or not to cancel my pledge, having read everything posted hereof course, but ultimately I decided to call this one a gamble.(Well, more of a gamble than most kickstarters that is, I'm well aware that they are all gamble to one degree or another) I collect video games so I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff.

Just so you know They used a special Promo on the 8-bit deck to get the Ultimate Soldier Funded.dazzleguts wrote:The artist for this deck, Michael Scott, had a successful KS for "Ultimate Soldier", which completed on December 21st, so they are likely to be aware of all the costs involved in fulfilling the KS.
Hail Mary for Ultimate Soldier
Kickstarter Update #38 · Dec. 15, 2012 · 30 comments Alright, I am throwing a Hail Mary Cross Promo to help Michael Scott & Ultimate Soldier score a touchdown and make it to the finish line.
I can only offer this on a very limited basis because it will be costly. So when the levels are gone that's it, I can't take a any bigger hit. And Mr. Scott will definitely owe me lunch for a month or 2.
If you go to Ultimate Soldier http://kck.st/T0hytC" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and become a backer at the $32 level: I will throw in a Signed Gold Deck. This is only good for 20 backers. You will get the Game Ultimate Soldier game with all 3 expansion sets and a signed Gold Deck.
If you pledge at the $45 level I will thrown in a signed Uncut Gold Sheet. You will get a signed and numbered Ultimate Soldier Game and a Signed Uncut Gold Sheet. ONLY GOOD FOR 5 BACKERS!
For 20 Backers: You will get a signed original Deck. If you pledge at the $19 level.
For 25 Backers ONLY: If you pledge at the $12 or $15 level at Ultimate Soldier you will get this collector's poker chip.
10-4 over and out

Re: Bicycle 8-Bit - Live on Kickstarter
I was never really into these, but that black one caught my eye just now. I see it's limited to 5k, so I'm assuming they didn't sell out on KS.

Re: Bicycle 8-Bit - Decks are shipping!
Hmm, yeah I just checked there as well. I see some of these on eBay for insane prices, but wanted to see if any other large resellers were selling them at more normal prices. Thanks!

Hey Wally, does that mean you didn't go for the Traditional set either?
I love the arcade console silhouette of the 8-bit plastic sleeve.

The 8-bit game based cards are not my thing but I did get in on the traditional deck. Seeing these now I am looking forward to the new ones.

No I didn't pick up any. Now I kinda wish I did. It would have been a unique addition to the collection. I have been trying to avoid KS, I did back the new UUSI deck.dazzleguts wrote:Hey Wally, does that mean you didn't go for the Traditional set either?

Re: Bicycle 8-Bit - Decks are shipping!
Many people have mentioned glue problems with the gold sleeve. The glue is actually very easy to roll off by pushing at the edge with your thumb. Once the glue was off I ran a piece of sandpaper over the glue area to expose a little of the paper under the foil and used gorilla glue to put it together. It holds very well.
