Re: [KS] Bicycle Imperium Playing Cards Deck
I agree, the deletion of the KS account was bad but compared to other defunct projects this one was handled much better. 6 hours for a refund is better than the almost lawsuits Army Men and Mana Sybl went through. I feel bad for backers not on this website but I selfishly appreciate the quick response time. Even though I'm not most sad that these nice looking cards won't see the light of day. Maybe the project can be sold to someone else?badpete69 wrote:Was he upfront because someone caught him before he totally disappeared ? Why delete your account if you are being upfront?

Re: [KS] Bicycle Imperium Playing Cards Deck
So you have to understand our point of view. We have seen many fraudulent projects over the last 4 years with a few creators that have completely disappeared from the face of the planet. Our first instinct when someone delete his account is yeah we just got jipped. I don't know why you deleted your account and I guess at this point it is moot but the community does appreciate the rapid refunds. And yes I did get my refund only a few hours after sending the email, so I have to say thank you very much. Your decks looked pretty amazing and it is too bad it had to come to thisconceptgrafix wrote:well @badpete69 i tried my best to deliver but i couldn't so can you please enjoy your refund thanks

Re: [KS] Bicycle Imperium Playing Cards Deck
I seen on Kickstarter that Noel Quiles died years ago. I did a Google search and did see something about someone with that same name being deceased. I had a $8 EB pledge for Bicycle Meridian, even on the last update was a mention of him being hospitalized.
For this project, I also received my refund.

Re: [KS] Bicycle Imperium Playing Cards Deck
I re-sent my information from a different e-mail account, since he seemed to be responding to everyone else so quickly and I hadn't received anything yet, and it turned out that did the trick. He responded with a refund to my paypal account very quickly. I posted likewise on the comments section on the Kickstarter project page.

Re: [KS] Bicycle Imperium Playing Cards Deck
Its a shame these didn't fund. When they deleted their KS account and word got out these won't be produced, I thought to myself, Uh-oh, I hope this doesn't turn into an Erik Mana situation where we have to get to the brink of filing a lawsuit. I didn't want to do that rodeo again. But it looks like Conceptgrafix is proactively and quickly processing refunds, so no worries about this being a scam. I also received my refund right away. Hopefully they will have sufficient funds to be able to fully refund all the backers. If this deck comes up on KS again, I won't have any concerns backing it again.

It's clear this community, even if we are onky a few of all the Kickstarter backers, has some leverage and power to make things happen.

Re: [KS] Bicycle Imperium Playing Cards Deck
I'm state refunded.
Having said that it's really a shame that such a beautiful project undergoes this end.
Launch ideas, because someone does not try to take this project and raised on Kickstarter or similar. The first to come to my mind are Gamblers Warehouse or Lotrek or even this forum because every year is launching a new project on Kickstarter.
In my opinion they are the most beautiful decks aesthetically presented in recent times and do not deserve the end they did.
I hope someone will come forward ...

I too received my refund. I wish this project worked out and decks were made but I'm glad it didn't come down to potential lawsuit.
Thanks conceptgraphix for the fast refund.

Re: [KS] Bicycle Imperium Playing Cards Deck
Good to see a creator handle things right for a change though some backers will lose out because they don't read the comments and there is no update.

Re: [KS] Bicycle Imperium Playing Cards Deck
Ya sucks that this deck didn't get printed...maybe someone can buy digital print off him and the deletion of KS account was very bad / fishy.
No point getting bad this deck didn't get completed at this point, just appreciate that there is refund.

Re: Bicycle Imperium
You may want to contact Eddie from Gamblers Warehouse and see if he can help in getting hold of the project creator. You will see a few posts from GW in this thread itself.echodelta7 wrote:I have tried to email and contact everyone I could. @conceptgrafix Could you please let me know how to go about getting a refund?

If not, then you may want to contact your credit card company and file a complaint to get the charge reversed. Hope it helps.

Still Looking for a Bicycle Imperium $90 Refund!
I Too Want a Full Refund of the $90 I Paid for Bicycle Imperium...
But I'm really stuck at this point trying to do anything I can to recover my money.
Is contacting Eddie at Gambler's Warehouse still my best bet to try for contact information?
Frustrated in Fullerton, California.

I reckon contacting Eddie might be your best bet as I assume you'd have already tried to contact the creator multiple times by now.

This was supposed to be a very good project. I thought it was coming back though I got my refund from back then.
