Nobody was charged for shipping. I had one person that got an added $5.96 - it was someone from South Carolina, and I have to charge 6% tax on sales "in state" and 8.5% if you happen to live in Charleston county, where I am. I don't know anyone local to me, but Chad McMillan is in Taylors SC - near Greenville.

As I noted above, I have to move the sets of 2, 3 & 4 around when they are nearly sold out, so right this second there are actually 11 decks left - 7 singles and 2 pairs. If the singles go down below 5 I will move those pairs and make two singles of each that isn't sold.

At this point (2PM) there are 8 left, and I removed the multiples. All are single decks, although of course you can get more than one while they last.

Thanks Mike, good job overall eh ?
Don't think any bod was put out much ....
'ceptin' the usual crackers.
oops.

and THANKS YOUNG LOTREK ! WOOHOOO !

Nice, very nice.

The only way you'll see a review is if someone sends me one to review. I don't care how much foil is on the cards or if they are made of foil themselves, $90 for 1 deck is pushing it.

Careful victor, you could be carded for persistent provocative petulance.

To borrow sports terminology: consider this an official yellow card for name calling. A second yellow card results in ejection from the game.

[Update: Ok, Bruno, your re-edit of your post is very funny. But, to be clear to others who may not have seen the previous version, this card is not aimed at Victor. Yet.]

I agree that $90 is a lot. I justify it for myself because I really love Lotrek's work and have spent more on less in my collection. There will be plenty of pictures soon I'm sure for people to see it without having to buy it

I picked some up

But you know that in a few days they will pop up on ebay at double the price, if that...

Victor, I hoist a yellow card for you, also. There is no justification in continuing to ride Lotrek - or anyone else - about pricing. Obviously, since as of about 20 minutes ago those decks are SOLD OUT, at least 75 people voted their $10,000 otherwise in a few hours, disagree and think otherwise. Several people bought four, and at least ten pairs were sold. Both of you need to consider that you are always entitled to your opinion, but expressing it more than once in a day or two is quite unnecessary and nobody likes to read the tripe here or elsewhere online.

Sorry to be so brusque, but bot' of ya need to cut it out!

Sigh.
Tripe.
That is so deflating.

Congrats! for selling all 120 decks in about 3 hours.
And congrats to all members which got one

Just 1 Question:

From Page 6:

Lotrek wrote: 3) A limited number of red back misaligned decks will be available as add-ons for purchase @ $15 (shipment is included). These decks will be in a more elaborate tuck case made of the original stock intended for the tucks with inner printing but will have metallic inks instead of gold foil. There will probably be a 24h time limit for this sale.
After that, all the remaining decks will be destroyed. For the fun of it I'll show the destroying process in a video.

Details about the red decks sale will be announced very soon in a newsletter to all who ordered the decks. I'll also post here.

Why didn't these go on sale aswell today ?

You just quoted the answer - those will be for sale, but as I read this only to those who bought the decks already, not everyone. I'm sure now that these were done so easily, he will get that newsletter out to buyers, but he will get these 100% and shipped out first, around 5-January.

Victor, you done a review for Venexiana Gold which is also from Lotrek that cost $90-$100. So did someone let you borrow or gave the deck to you?

Venexiana Gold? What was that, like 3 years ago?

A limited deck that came out in 2014.

I gave it to him for review.

Yes you did and thanks again.

Regarding the misaligned red decks:

As I'm trying to get the pending projects off my back, I want to ship LITURGY Treasure first which is ready. 5th of Jan can be confirmed as shipping date. LITURGY bronze will be sent a few days after Treasure and a couple of days before I ship, I'll open the sale of the red back decks for 24h.

No, I know the deck, I have one, it was just a long time ago. Ironically he did get it given to him. But I would say in three years the market has changed quite a bit, and the Venexiana Gold deck was a little more unique when it released than it would be now.

I checked his video channel to see if he done high priced deck reviews assuming he buys all of them. I like Venexiana Gold very much but I think the double foiled backs and design on these will look better.

Still waiting on Black Mass Gold & Silver/Grotesk Macabre Black Gold/Black Silver/Inferno/Bronze....so many decks but I know he'll give updates on Kickstarter.

Yeah he needs to get some of these done before doing more.

I would rather recieved everything at once a couple of weeks later when everything IS ready and get parrilla reimbursed for shipping costs, Im sure other might feel the same way

Agreed, still waiting on many other decks (not LITURGY) from Lotrek. Would like to get everything all at once. However, it might be easier for Lotrek to fulfill instead of combining everything.

I'll send first LITURGY Treasure, then a few days later LITURGY Bronze and last the Grotesk Macabre series. I'll have to camp in the post office I guess

It will not surprise you that I still have issues with Grotesk Black Mass/gold etc. Not at all a disaster like ICONS imperial first attempts, just enough to delay me with little things here and there. I'll post an update tonight.

Why not send everything at once or at least combine both Liturgys.

I, for one, am eager to see Lotrek ship stuff out as he is ready without holding things up in order to ship everything all together. For those of us who have backed many, many projects, and I'm sure the same is true for Lotrek, the mental relief of having one-less-project to keep track of because it's all taken care of is worthwhile after a certain point.

E-X-A-C-T-L-Y !

And we get to the 5th of January, anyone got any notification of shipment??

Yair, Lotrek the Label-Master has his finger on the button.

The babies are ready for shipment! I was to send them tomorrow (with just one day's delay) but I forgot it's a holiday here so you'll get your tracking numbers on Saturday.

Thass no delay (Hooray!), thass an advancement.
Think of all those lovely Liturgies off around th'globe ....
Incroyabelissimo !!
