At this point I'm only really interested in the First Class Signature deck, which is gone :roll: Will there be a yellow signature version too? Is there a list I can get on? :lol:

There will be more Signature decks.

The limited version of the Passenger Purple will go live tonight at 8:00pm ET as an add-on reward, not a main reward.

Then when Taxiway Yellow is released, standard and limited versions will go live but as add-on rewards as well.

I understand your concern here but here's some transparency...

Package for one deck with the freebies (sticker and signed boarding pass) weighs approximately 6-7 ounces. Actual shipping costs for one deck at our discounted rates via Shopify/USPS:
  • US - $4.15 USD
  • Japan - $17.01 USD
  • Australia - $18.24 USD
  • Europe - $16.53 USD
  • Canada - $14.11 USD
  • Mexico - $14.58 USD
You can validate retail shipping costs here: https://postcalc.usps.com

Additionally, through Kickstarter we lose 5% off the top of the shipping charge for their commission fee along with an additional 2.9% + $0.30 for payment processing.

I don't think you're trying to cheat anyone but you might want to look into alternative services. Other card projects on KS manage to offer way cheaper shipping. I mean, two decks for thirty bucks shipping is insane.

You could be (sadly) right but even the Ludus deck that went live today is $11 int, $17 for two decks. $16 for one and 27 for two seems exorbitant even for these unsettled times. But I'm no expert so there are probably other factors I am unaware of.

There are other services (UPS and FedEx) but then backers end up paying higher custom fees. I'm not sure why that's the case but unfortunately, that gets communicated back to me as well.

It was a very hard decision to make for this project. My fulfillment costs from 2021 compared to 2022 almost doubled with less departing packages. In the past, I always did free US shipping and subsidized International shipping. It was a difficult decision for this project. For the past 7 years, I ate the cost for a lot of the fulfillment. For the last project, I had packages that cost $80 USD to ship and the backer only paid $30 USD. I had to align with the real costs this time around.

Hi all. Just wanted to give a brief update on the Lounge Edition in Passenger Purple (and Taxiway Yellow). See below:
  • Launched yesterday
  • Funded in 246 minutes
  • Three stretch goals
  • All stretch goals have been unlocked within 26 hours
  • Total funding at $15,488 and climbing
  • 177 backers
  • Project consists of two colorways (one Standard Back deck and one Limited Back deck of each)
  • Total of four (4) decks are available
  • Funding ends at 8:00pm ET on April 24th
I will be looking to add another stretch goal pending how the project progresses over the next four days. Last project, I produced a very unique aviation tag (luggage tag / keychain) that was a huge hit. I will be looking to add this to the project as well but will need the project to approach the same results as the Hangar Orange (Jetway Silver) project to justify the costs.
