Sorry for bumping up an old post like this one, however I just got a message from Ed Nash at Kickstarter. Seems like he is sending all backers this message, thought you guys should read it, if any of you are a backer, or just interested

1st message, Feb. 1:

Dear Asylum backers,

As you are probably aware, many of the fulfillments have started to go out. I have always stated that this project would be fulfilled, and that has always been the intent, despite the delays. I am both happy and relieved to say that we are entering the final phase of fulfillment, and rewards to all remaining backers will be shipping over the next several days, and all remaining backers should receive their rewards within the next month. Due to the delays in this project, I’d like to ask everyone to check the shipping address they provided to the project surveys, and please make updates if your address has changed within the next 48 hours. I’d like to again thank everyone for backing this creative, speculative project, for having patience with the timetable, and for having faith in Kickstarter and the idea of crowdfunding.

Sincerely,
Ed Nash

2nd message, Feb. 1:

FOLLOW-UP:
As I am receiving a lot of messages and questions regarding the previous message, if you need to update your address, please do so by updating the project Survey. I have made them all updatable, and it will speed the process along so that I can reimport and update everything at once in the database for shipping. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Ed

3rd message, Feb. 1:

Several backers have asked about how to update their address that they submitted, so here is some helpful direction from Kickstarter:

How can I view or change my survey responses?

If you’ve already submitted your backer survey, you can review your response by visiting the project page and clicking the 'Your response' text in the bottom of the reward tier you selected.

If the creator of this project has enabled address changes (I have), you’ll notice an option at the top of this modal that will allow you to change your shipping information.

If the cards could be printed, that would be a dream scenario! But no matter what, let justice be done! I have zero respect or sympathy for scammers

This is usually not my style at all, but... I really like these cards! Haven't pledged for a Kickstarter deck forever, but I'm considering backing this one. I am a little sceptical about the economic site of things though... I just went through all of the pledge options, and many of them are actually pretty cheap compared to other Kickstarter projects.

4 decks, $9 each
6 decks, $8 each
8 decks, $7 each
10 decks, $6 each
12 decks, $5 each

Also, 100 early birds for as many decks you want for $10 each.
The goal is $6,000 and will be printed by USPCC. I am a little unsure about this

I live in Denmark and I have, once, had problems with playing cards. The Genesis playing cards never arrived to me.. I though it was because of all the trouble I had with my bank, card and PayPal, so I never really cared too much about it. Later I backed the Allure Playing Cards. When that shipment arrived, I also received my Genesis Playing Cards! I contacted Noel Quiles about it, and he confirmed that he had trouble with the post office when he wanted to ship the cards to me in DK.

But that's the only time I've ever had trouble with playing cards

Are you sure it's Styrofoam?  I've always found it hard to glue things to Styrofoam, and the uncovered ball at the bottom looks more substantial than Styrofoam - more like wood, actually.

Regardless, they look cool.  I think it would be a great project as a wall covering.  Make one good-sized square, scan it, erase the visible seams, replicate it on the right paper and you've got a kickass wallpaper.

I'm not sure about the Styrofoam, I used Google Translate and in the comments at the bottom Kete mentions Styrofoam, but GT and Chinese doesn't make to much sense I find.. though some of the balls looks like wood, but others like Styrofoam

But your idea for a wallpaper - so cool!

For me, it's these:
Fund Michael Frömmer's 1616 Silver Bicycle® Playing Cards
The Mirror Deck Gaffed Playing Cards
Asylum Playing Cards
ULTRAVIOLET // Playing cards from beta17

Haven't checked on the project for quite a while.. but I actually received my cards at least a month ago or so. But yeah, I haven't received Asylum, Ultraviolet and Quicksilver, though I am more optimistic about the Quicksilver cards than the others

Danish!

I'm probably the only Dane here though
Would gladly help with translations even needed

I think that the design is not what people are used to see form Ellusionist, at least I'm not.. it's not even my style or design, but I'll wait to see more pictures of the cards

But maaaaan, Ellusionist got some sweet stuff to offer for their Christmas prizes! I would love to win prize number four! 144 decks from Ellusionist, yes please!

I love the boxes! They look so amazing! I think they would look great on display next to each other! 

I backed the project because I really like the back and the pips as well as the box itself. I am starting to worry a bit though.

There is no word about what company is going to print the cards, only that the cards will be printed in the UK. Only 99 will be printed, according to the kickstarter campaign. At Kickstarter they sell 17 x 2 decks and 65 x 1 deck. That's 99. But you can also pledge to get one signed card from the maker of the deck, 55 of these will be made. That would require another deck to be printed, unless the plan is to sign cards from another deck, which would be a disappointment.

Also, this morning at my Facebook account I got a friend request from a guy from Denmark, Simon Tornberg Hansen (https://www.facebook.com/simon.t.hansen.73?fref=ts). I accepted the request and now I found out, that he is the one, who designed the cards! At least he claims to be the one. Below I have translated from Danish to English the best I can. The pictures are from his own Facebook.

Pic 1: "I have made those xD"

Pic 2: "Now they are at kickstarter! Buy them now, they will be worth a lot in a few years since there only being printed 99 decks!"

Sounds great! Any plans about what time of the day the project will go live? I know it'll be the 12th, but at what time of the day? Also, what time zone? I wanna be ready from the start 

Another deck from Aloys. I've only found this picture at my Facebook, that's all I've gotten so far.
From what I can read, the deck is called Red Tune

New project by TPX Designs, Meridian Playing Cards.

That's all I've got. I posted a pic with this topic, check them out. I am not quite the fan of the cards, unfortunately.
