Assuming the Metalluxe gets unlocked, you'll be able to edit your pledge to switch it over from the standard pledge to a Metalluxe tier. If it's not unlocked and you don't want any standard decks, you can simply cancel your pledge before the campaign ends.

We will be running the campaign for 30 days, and will send reminders and updates to backers over the course of the process, including a "Final 24 hours" update so that folks have a final opportunity to make any desired changes.
So if the Metalluxe deck is unlocked, will I have to exchange my current early bird tier for the Metalluxe tier? Or will I be able to add Metalluxe decks in addition to my current tier? The campaign states: "Only 1,000 Metalluxe decks will be created, and they will not be available as add-on items". I've never heard of dynamic tiers like this on Kickstarter :P

Thanks in advance.

Hey Serubi. Thanks for being Backer #1!

Yes, right now the plan is to create new tiers that folks would switch to in order to do the Metalluxe. That's not an ideal solution, but unless we can find a better way via add-ons to ensure that we don't over-sell the 1k Metalluxe decks, it's the best way to control that only 1k are available and claimed.

We would hate for the person who backs the 1,001st Metalluxe deck to make their add-on amount, only to find out later that all the decks are claimed.

There is still a bit of time before Metalluxe is unlocked, and up until then we will continue to investigate other options to make the decks available in as clear, controlled, and fair a manner as possible.

Thanks!

Would a system like GW use help in anyway? Like "starting at 10am so-and-so day, PM us then adjust your pledge and first come, first serve until 1K is reached"

Have you looked at Backerkit? I've seen some project creators use it for add-ons. Their website (https://www.backerkit.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) says they have inventory control. Maybe this is an option?

Backerkit only lets you add-on after the project is complete so I don't think that would help inventory control in this case but I could be wrong.

We do plan to use BackerKit, and they do offer better inventory control, but Vasta is correct that it's only controllable after the campaign itself is over.

Our other option would be to change the Metalluxe from strictly 1,000 to open-ended but still limited to cover however many are pledged within Kickstarter. They would still be individually numbered. Would you all be OK with that? If we had less than 1,000 claimed, then the current 1k cap would still stand.

I think this would be worse because of delays in getting Backerkit manager link email. Plus there are so many steps involved you could have a Special edition added on but lose it if someone's faster filling in info. Remember when KS used Amazon for payment and the delay from clicking Pledge to getting back to project only to see you missed it because someones page moved faster?

If they know our backer name maybe a small refund for the 10 of us who got the EB if the Metallux gets unlocked and we pledge for it.
Move on, nothing to see here.

I like that idea. I'm also okay with the printing of more decks while only the 1st 1,000 are individually numbered but I know that's a sore spot for many people so maybe Rich's idea is best.

This would be great. I don't care if the deck is not limited to only 1k and, to be honest, I don't care about a seal. I plan to open and play with it.

Hey Calypso. Please refresh and try again. We had a little glitch with a couple of tiers charging international shipping rates to US backers, but the Single deck tier appears to be working fine to me. We currently have a support ticket in with KS to look into the situation and will be making sure that nobody pays more than they're supposed to for the tier they've chosen.

Yea it's pretty sad, the v2 deck isn't really original enough to interest people and with all the decks being launched this week it's super competitive. I really want that metaluxe version tho. I think if the metaluxe was the primary campaign this would fund in an instant.

I agree. If the Metalluxe version doesn't succeed on this campaign I hope to God one way or another that it sees the light of day some day soon.

We are very pleased with how the campaign's been going so far. We're barely over 48 hours in with the better part of a month to go, and we're over 60% funded. Not bad at all considering the competition from general Valentine's Day shopping and other campaigns that launched at the same time as ours.

We have a few unannounced surprises that we think will help push the campaign along.

I can't say for sure, but if we do happen to just hit the lower end of the funding goal, I know that I would like to perhaps give the Metalluxe deck its own campaign down the road.

In the meantime, the best way to make sure we continue the steady march to the stretch goal is to help spread the word. Please share the campaign with your friends and encourage them to get on board.

Thanks!

I think that if people didn't have the two first versions and these were new decks, they really would've took off more. So soon or the line in it's own campaign, I want that Special Edition.

Thanks to everyone for their feedback and support over the past week.

We just posted an update to the campaign - we will be adding custom coin and t-shirt pledge/add-on options to the campaign soon. For now, we are giving folks the opportunity to vote on which design will be produced.

Out of curiosity, do people here prefer the Yellow or the Black version of these decks?

Pity the target to unlock the Metalluxe deck didn't end up being reached.
