I'm happy to announce that Neptune will officially be launching on September 2nd. I can't wait to share so many exciting announcements that will be made throughout the campaign!
One announcement that I can tell you about now is that there will be a series of contests running before and during the Kickstarter campaign to win lots of really cool free goodies. The first contest has just launched and will run throughout the campaign...1 lucky winner will receive a free 8-deck SE set of The Planets.
For those wanting a full set, be ready at the outset. The start of the Neptune campaign will make the Elixer Campaign start look tame when it comes to the full LE sets I think. If you do snag a set, be very careful when adding stuff that you don't accidentally drop your full LE set pledge like some folks did on the first campaign. Good luck to all. I will just be looking for an LE set for Neptune only and a half-brick of the regular decks. I really like the way the colored decks look together with their different colors.
With the stretch goals scheduled to be unlocked every other day during the start of the campaign, there is some planned momentum for several days. This should be another interesting Kickstarter for sure.
I am hoping for a pamphlet add-on explaining the characters and some of the design choices used in the series. Maybe even a free pdf for backers? I like Of the courts shown above, I like the dude holding a sea creature (pet?).

I was just seconds late to the party as I was just finishing an errand for my wife. I thought I might still see a few of the LE sets left, but that was a "no". I see a few here managed to be fast enough to pledge one of those very limited slots. Congrats. I knew it would be tough, but wow. I can't wait to see the updates as the campaign finishes off with a huge bang.

I was also seconds too late for the SE+LE. I “confirmed” my pledge, but then received the “uh-oh, your pledge is gone” email from KS. On that note, I just want to throw out there that if anyone has the full set (LE), or more than one, and needs to drop a pledge or off-load a set, HMU. I know it’s a long shot, but you won’t receive for what you don’t ask, right? Congrats to those with fingers faster than mine!
I should have a spare LE set of the series, except for Mercury and Venus. I couldn't wait for my full set and picked these up. If anyone really wants them, drop me a note.

I ended up pledging for a full SE set during the Earth campaign, then Mars forward I did 1+1s.
I also was apparently too late despite frantically hitting the refresh button, so I just grabbed a 1+1. I found the three other LEs (1+1) on eBay I didn't have, for less than the difference between the 1+1 and full set pledge, so basically, I'll end up with 2 SE sets and a complete LE set. I'm actually on a roll this weekend.

Apparently, the campaign started 30 seconds ahead of the projected time which allowed people who were frantically refreshing their screens since 5 minutes to the hour to get in early.
I was not far behind you and realized quickly that I could only find it by searching by name and not under new playing cards, so after doing a new search and found it, then finding the tier I wanted, I ended up backer 136 . Good thing I didn't need a complete limited set. They were long gone. This campaign took off really fast.
