Checking up on the status of some KS projects that are past the projected completion date and still on the New Deck Report. Anything that's
is going on this topic's list.
The list is incomplete as of now - I will work on completing it tonight.
EDIT: now it's complete.
| USPC BRAND | TITLE | STATUS |
| 4 Horsemen | Reported on 29 Jul that USPC are shipping the cards sometime in the following week (this coming week). |
| Bicycle | 8-bit | Reports 10 June that all rewards have shipped! |
USPC | Animal Instinct | Had some shipping delays due to a personal emergency, but is shipping now and backers are happy. |
| Bicycle | Asylum | Last update came 13 July - first update in nearly three months. Ed Nash (hiding behind the company name Altius Management) basically complained about all the backers complaining about his project, like a delivery date missed by over seven months and counting was no big deal. He went further to say that the complaints to the Better Business Bureau were slowing him down, to which the general consensus was "Be a better businessman!" |
| Boss Playing Cards | Updated 1 July that USPC sent them proofs. No news since. |
USPC | Brite Neon | Actually, this one isn't late - it appears to be ahead of schedule, with the decks having shipped in early July with a two-week delivery time. He posted this in an update to his backers - all EIGHT of them... |
| Bicycle | CORE | Backers are reporting on the comments page for the project that within the last week or so they are finally receiving their rewards. |
| Creature Cards | After a quiet month and a half, updated Thu 1 Aug that cards were due to arrive in about a week and that a temp employe was hired to get fulfillment in high gear when they show up. |
| Bicycle (and unbranded) | Federal 52 Part 1 | Shipping commences this week, about a month ahead of schedule. Jackson Robinson sent me a few of the decks as gifts - I'm hoping to post photos tonight. |
USPC | Flowers (4th try) | As of the end of May, he was nearly complete shipping the decks. Other rewards items were due later. |
| Founders | Went two months without an update, then posted on 20 July an update titled "We've landed on the moon !!!" with the body text "One small step. One giant leap." People exploded over that one. The next and most recent update is backers-only, labeled "Surveys, Cards, Coins & Shirts." One backer actually had a good strategy for getting his money back - since he used a credit card to make the charge at Amazon to pay for the pledge, he filed a complaint with his credit card issuer and received a full refund. Food for thought... |
| Bicycle | The Hedge
(standard & stripper) | Despite some delays relating to the release of the Dante's Inferno deck on KS, they should be pretty much done shipping by now - they were 50% done in mid-June and the only hitch was their maze books hadn't arrived yet. The deck is on sale at retailers now. |
USPC | Lost Languages - Yiddish (2nd try) | Reported 31 Jul that the tuck boxes are completed and they should have the cards from the printer in a week. |
| Bicycle | Mirror Deck
(gaffed deck) | Reported 23 Jul he was out of cash for shipping, but that he would get the decks out, hopefully by month's end. Reported 29 Jul that he's shipped about half of his orders and needs "a few hundred" to ship the rest, so it doesn't look like he'll meet the end-of-July deadline (since it's already passed). Backers are reporting in that they have received decks and like the product. |
USPC | New York Lights | Reported 20 Jun that they've shipped. |
| Polaris
(Solar, Lunar, Eclipse) | Running into delays due to work, but is spending about 4 hours a day shipping this project. He hadn't expected the project to be as time consuming as it has turned out to be, in part due to the high number of wooden items he has to make himself by hand. But orders are shipping and backers are generally happy. |
USPC | Stealth | Distribution has begun, but seems to be taking exceptionally long and his backers are getting irate. There's photos of him holding the decks on the AKGrafx website, so we know they were made. |
| Bicycle | Steampunk Cthulhu | Reported 1 Aug that he received the decks and a truck would be taking them within the week to his fulfillment center along with the other reward items. Technically they haven't shipped yet, but they seem to be on their way. |
| Sultana | Reported 24 Jul only a few international orders remained to be shipped. |
USPC | Tavern Cards | It appears that they haven't even been printed yet, as the back selection was completed only recently. Posted an update Sun 4 Aug but it's backers-only, titled "Final Card Back and a Tentative Done Date". But the backers don't appear to be fretting. |
| Bicycle | United Cardists | Shipped in June. |
USPC | Zombie Origin | Shipped in June. |
