Lorenzo's Bicycle N° 17 - fulfillment done (except Crown)

[volantangel]

I bet they force you to buy all that extra 10% b/c they know several decks will be messed up in some form or fashion.

The problem is though, that they say it's plus or minus 10%.

So let's say as a deck producer you have sales/want a total of 2500 decks (nice round number). Because they say it could be minus 10% of your order you actually need to order 10% extra to cover the 2500 requirement. So you order 2750 decks (just in case it's down the 10%), but of course almost every order is +10%. So, instead of getting the 2500 decks you want, you actually end up with 3025. Not only do you end up with approx 500 extra decks (~21%) more than you really want, you've gotta pay for them too.

Lets say you were pretty tight with your specs and they're only costing you $3.50 a deck - the 'extra' they've got you to agree to pay for has taken the bill of the decks from $8250 to $10,587. A nice little earner for the factory who can't stop the presses accurately.

TLDR; It's a scam to get you buy a bucket load of decks you don't want. No wonder people are flocking to EPCC/Legends.

exactly, I chose uspcc just because I wanted to have a bicycle deck among my decks.

Bucketlist - Bicycle deck (check)

Lorenzo asked me to fix the title of the thread and remind everyone that he doesn't use BackerKit or any other post-campaign tools. When the clock runs down - we're done!

[volantangel]

Last 12 hours, dont forget to pledge if you have not !

[badpete69]

OOOOfff wallet just took a hit with the funding..... Great job Lorenzo as usual

[Stockholm17]

Thank you guys!!! I am exhausted lol
I take a break for a few days, long weekend, then back on track with the backers management

cheers!

[chach]

Congrats on a wonderful campaign! Already trying to figure a way to display both v1 & v2 uncuts along with all the different deck varieties. Can't wait!

[volantangel]

Congrats on doing so well in this campaign ! Now the painful waiting begins

[badpete69]

The waiting was somewhat alleviated when this came in today. Thanks Lorenzo





Plus I have this very rare uncut hanging in my office over the doorway... Reminds me of what's coming

[chach]

Oh snap! I didn't know he was sending the prototypes out already. If I didn't have a metric tonne of things to do tomorrow I'd be waiting by the mailbox all day long. Haven't done that since waiting for my Han Solo Storm Trooper figure back in '95. And the sad thing was I was in high school when I did that.

Now I want a bowl of Froot Loops.

[Stockholm17]

Yes, prototypes sent already

You know, I do not have the uncut sheet of No.17 v.01 O___O meh!

[Cbkimble]

I do, I do. I'm going to have fun making a case for both versions to house both uncuts, and all 6 decks( V1, V2 - Branded, Unbranded, Mini, Micro, and Crown )

[Stockholm17]

Hello!

it looks that we are near delivery. The stock is on its way to Texas at GW fulfillment center. Tomorrow they arrive.
I think they will need a few days to organize the shipping. I submitted the addresses and all the instructions.

I got a few samples from USPCC on monday, posted on fb and instagram. Here is a bunch of nice pictures








and a video of the crown edition making of, in timelapse. This will be ready hopefully at the end of June.


Shipping hopefully will start next week! :):):)
cheers!

[volantangel]

What is there to say ?

[PrincessTrouble]

Really looking forward to these. I hope the registration is decent.

[Cbkimble]

These cards are amazing. Can't wait for the crown edition and sterling Ace.

Anyone looking for any, PM me.

[nECr0MaNCeD]

Just got these yesterday. Addly the tracking sent by GW showed the label printed but no pick up for 9 days. USPS tracking finally updated within the same hour they were delivered, LOL. Never had that happen before. Anyway the cards are beautiful. Wish I was getting the Crown Edition.

[Cbkimble]

Same here for these and the US ARMY decks. I checked Friday and they both said waiting to drop off. That's government shipping for ya.

Got my brick also yesterday and had the same tracking issue. I spoke to Lorenzo last week on this and he mentioned that because they had to switch the brick boxes after they had printed the shipping labels, it caused a delay in the shipping. Basically we got the shipping email the day they printed it but had to wait for those box swaps

[Stockholm17]

Hello!

I should write an update today about the fulfillment.
It will be completed today and all the packages have been shipped

The Crown Edition and the Silver Aces NOT YET.

Actually I am planning to send a box with the crown edition for american backers to GW and let them ship it, while I take care of the european area.
Silver aces had delay because they had to remake 15 aces. Today I will know something more.

stay tuned for more updates
cheers

I know you said that uncut sheets were being sent separate due to the mailing requirements, but were they sent at the end of fulfillment? I only received shipping notice for my decks, which I've already received.

Done, thanks for checking into it.

[chach]

Got my uncut sheet in today, thank for tracking it down, Lorenzo. Really thinking I should've ordered the sterling ace to complete the collection, but oh well. Just need the crown now.

ETA: Can't believe I forgot it in the first two pics, prototype 8/10

[Stockholm17]
