Get it out now, because with 1/3rd of the funding left and 24 hours to go, I really doubt they're going to make it. I don't know how many held back from contributing after the last campaign was pulled with a very weak justification, but I know I did.

I think Pablo shot himself in the foot with the first campaign fiasco. I understand at $15k he would have been underfunded with 2 decks, but to jump to $30k. I think it rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. I decided not to back this one. Partly due to having $400 plus on the line for Jackson, Randy, and Lotrek/UC. I hope Pablo reworks this one more time- start with a single deck, and add a second as a stretch.
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

1.5 hours and $8k+ to go...

Is it wrong how I find it funny that they cancelled the last campaign ahead of time when it seemed they would make it but didn't want to accept the goal they had set, and now that this one looks like it has absolutely no hope at all of being funded, they're letting it run out?

They got flack for canceling it last time.  People complained that if the project wasn't ready for prime time, it shouldn't have been brought to KS in the first place.  A number of the original backers stated they wouldn't back a second attempt.

Good news in my opinion as I like the 4PM design decks

Within the last 24 hours we have struck a deal to have the Legacy continue into production. With the help of Gambler's Warehouse, the Legacy decks will be available exclusively through their website(s) at: http://www.gamblerswarehouse.com. They are in the process of taking presales before they go on sale. Yes, we will also have them available through our website: http://4pmdesigns.webs.com as well as our ebay official store: http://www.ebay.com/usr/4pmdesigns.

Final artwork is already prepped and preparing to get finalized with the USPCC. Once things are set, Legacy will go into production. All three decks are still intended to be produced at the same quantity. Legacy Black will still have a limited 500 deck run through a third party printer. Once we receive final samples of the quality they will begin production.

Because this is a special case scenario, some special items like signed/numbered decks and uncuts will still be available through our official stores.

We will still continue to post updates on the decks progress so be sure to keep your eye out!

Thanks for all your amazing support! It seems the Legacy does not want to die!

That's excellent news - this design really is a good one and it would have been a shame for it to fail.

For a moment, I thought this was the store bought by USPC, but then I remembered that one is called the "Gambler's General Store" instead.

EDIT: though strangely enough, their websites actually have a few design elements in common...specific things that you wouldn't expect two different stores to have appear identical...

From Gambler's Warehouse on Facebook:

"Hey everyone! We have recently expanded from a simple retail store into a warehouse with our offices based in Dallas, Texas - We now have the ability to serve a larger customer base. Please bear with us as we make the transition from Gambler's General Store to the new Gambler's Warehouse!"

So, not as strange as you thought.

Got my LEGACY decks in the mail today and these things turned out WAY better than I ever expected. WOW! So worth the wait! Embossed tucks! Ink and lettering on the inside of the tucks - strong stock - vibrant colors!







Reply from Gambler's Warehouse about who made the black deck

Quote
This deck is from Apollo Playing Card Company.  If compared to USPCC tuck it is slightly thick because the paper stock is different and is textured. EPCC tucks are bulky then USPCC as well.
