BUSKERS from Mana Playing Cards -Now Live on KS

[vasta41]

As useless an update as decaffeinated coffee. Mana has been at the fulfillment center for months now with no development. I'll start caring about his updates when he says he's actively delivering all packages for Mana & Buskers.

Couldn't agree more. Update from Mana on August 26th, "SYBIL HAS LANDED". August 26th! Almost three months later and still no decks. And the fact that he could send out an update on the Buskers project and still remain silent on Mana speaks volumes to me. I will never back another of his projects again. I'm sorry, but he has handled this about as poorly as can be without actually running away with the money.

I agree- no more Mana KS projects for me. No matter how nice the deck. If I really like it enough I'll get it at an aftermarket site.

[Cbkimble]

Maybe I was right. He overspent on the mana Sybil campaign due to the tucks and tried to use buskers to compensate. Looks like another Dan Kriss issue.

Got my buskers decks today, that mixed feeling since Mana hasn't arrived...

I have mixed feeling since I backed Mana but didn't go in for Buskers. I'm a little frustrated seeing people getting their Buskers decks around me..



I'm glad you guys have started to get your Buskers though, they ended up looking great!!!

Crap I have seen nothing on the 3 campaigns I backed from him....

[rousselle]

Likewise, I'm still awaiting Buskers (and Mana).

I wonder who is doing fulfillment for Buskers. Those of you who received your decks... can you tell from the return address?

[markjanderson]

I just received mine here in Oregon today.
The return address is as follows:

MANA SHIPPING
1167 GREENS FARM
AMELIA, OH 45102

[Gareth]

MANA SHIPPING
1167 GREENS FARM
AMELIA, OH 45102

Pokerstud52 on eBay (Dave Hofmeister) is from Amelia - he's done shipping for other projects before. That'd be my guess.

[rousselle]

Interesting.

Well, Pokerstud52 is a reputable guy, so it seems to me the fulfillment is in good hands, then.

[Mike Ratledge]

I agree. He has always been 100% reliable, and even refunded excess shipping more than once.

[rousselle]

Boo-ya! Guess what I found in my mail today!

Order arrived in full. I'll be opening the decks later tonight.

[badpete69]

yeah got buskers also but no sign of the mana decks

[double_left]

It'd be nice to of seen an update regarding the shipping of the Buskers fulfillment and a tracking number to go along with it instead of it just randomly showing up on the doorstep one evening.

I guess getting them is better then not, but still....!

[sinjin7]

I got my Buskers decks. The order of the cards were very strange and a couple of cards were backwards, but I'm guessing that has to do with Erik wanting to change the layout of the uncut sheet.

[4.of.Clubs]

Personally I would back Erik again despite the cluster f**k with Mana. Getting Buskers for me means he still has credibility.

Although I really want to get my mana decks... That project to me right now is just unfortunate for everyone. However, haven't heard anything on it for a while now.

[Bruno]

+ 1 .... in a Heartbeat.
Erik is in a dark place. Don't expect anything much in the way of communication, he cannot do it obviously.
He has said 'no sympathy', just needs clear air to work Buskers to fund your Mana .... yes to cl*sterf*ck.
Some keep saying it would be simple/easy to just post an update .... I would agree in any fairly normal situation, but I've said this before, the simple fact that he does not rings Alarm !!, he is in deep. Over here in, HA ! normal-land but, we're not getting it. And there are some as will never get it. Ever.
Watch.

[DragonSoul]

I got mine today.
The exclusive deck tuck is really pretty.

Unfortunately, my coin was missing

[BenMorrisRains]

Sorry, but when you get THOUSANDS of dollars to create a project and you can't even post an update, you have lost all my respect and can kick rocks. An update takes a few keystrokes. I know people that have gotten confrontational over less. Magicians will fight physically over an idea, yet alone money. This dude is pushing his luck and I assume he won't show his face or say shit for a long time. I didn't go in on Buskers because of this Mana situation, but I guess I should have because I would have at least gotten something out of this fool.

Same here. A couple of the 9s were backwards and the order was unusual. Made me count all the cards to make sure they were all there. LOL

I've seen this order before (even recently), but I can't recall the deck(s) that have used it. And, yes, I'm certain it's for the appearance of the uncut sheet.

[UtterFool]

I received some of these on Friday. I did not receive my whole order however. The other order was on another account so hopefully it is on it's way.

I didn't even bother to open one of the decks up. I am so fed up with the Sybil situation I didn't really want to look at them.
Just threw them in one of my storage boxes.

[alric]

I'm happy overall with this deck except for the delay, but at least it didn't get hung up as bad as his Mana Sybil decks. I wish the diptych cards were more interconnected with each other. They could be two separate cards independent from each other, which seems to defeat the purpose of a diptych. The standard version seems ultra slippery, even for USPC decks, which I really like. Time to bust out some fanning powder.
