Hello, everyone!

Please welcome into the fold our third Discourse Agent, "Kings Wild Project".  He's really taken the "card game" by storm with the introduction of his "Federal 52" deck series and continues at a relentless pace, introducing new deck series that I'm sure most of you eat up and ask for seconds!

Jackson and his staff should be signing in soon - please make them feel welcome!

I have some really great news. It's been a very slow process, but earlier this week I received official approval and licensing from the United States Army to proceed with the Army deck and subsequently the other armed forces decks. I had already secured licensing from the other branches but was just waiting for the Army as it was logical branch to start with.

Not really sure when I will do the project or how I will do it (Kickstarter, Kings Wild Funded, Self funded) Not sure yet, but will keep you guys updated.

Since you're in update mode, is the Hive deck next on the release schedule?  If so, do you have any dates for us to mark down on the calendar? If it's the baseball decks, do you have any dates for us to mark down on the calendar? If it's the standard decks, do you have any dates for us to mark down on the calendar?

The Hive is printed. Now it's just waiting for it to be loaded on a boat, shipped across the Pacific and then to Kings Wild. Unfortunately, it's hard to give a solid estimate on that as there's time needed to clear customs as well. To contradict to last sentence, I'd say some time in August. The closer to when the deck actually is to port, the better we can give a solid date on when they will be up for sale on the Kings Wild site. But for now, see the fun pictures taken from the KW Facebook page of decks pulled and shipped early to us.

Jackson, your work has been breathtaking.  I noticed your next project will be on the National Pastime.  Do you have a launch date yet?  Any hints what to expect?  I imagine we will be seeing some of the legends in this deck.

That's excellent news to hear - congratulations!  Will you be handling all distribution, or just within North America, or some other combination of parts of the world?

Seems like it's going to be a huge summer for Kings Wild. The Hive is coming, you've teased the Tally Ho's and on your homepage the baseball decks are coming.

When you have dates when they are going to launch and on what platform, please feel free to update this thread! 

As for the Tally Ho deck I hope to launch them on my new Pre Order / Crowdfunded Kings Wild Funded Platform on Monday July 14th. Kings Wild Funded is 99% finished and squeaky clean. I've taken everything about Kickstarter and crowdfunding I love and got rid of everything I hate about Kickstarter and created something that I think you guys are really going to like. The price point will be easy on the wallet.

I'm finishing up some details for the National Pastime Deck and if all promotional stuff together as planned I will launch that project on Kickstarter on the 26th.

And to answer question about the baseball deck being on Kickstarter. The Tally Ho deck is for a much more niche market and a much smaller project than the baseball deck, and I want my first "go" of Kings Wild Funded to be very straight forward. Also the card collecting community makes up about 30% of my costumer base and also the only people who really know about my site. I'll utilize the reach of Kickstarter to try and capture more card rookies and turn them over to the dark side.

So if all goes as planned the Kings Wild Tally Ho decks will be available for pre-order on Monday July the 14th. This will be my first test drive of my new Kings Wild Funded Platform.

Deck prices will be as follows:
 
1x Deck $8 Plus Shipping
1x Brick $90 Plus Shipping
1x Gross $1000 Plus Shipping

With Kings Wild Funded both domestic & international shipping are handled separately so International costumers will not have to feel the sting of paying both domestic and international shipping. My platform is simple to use and I'm sure most everyone will find it an enjoyable experience.

Here are images of all the Court Cards & Gaff Cards that have already been approved my USPCC Legal and Marketing and also have already been submitted for production. I'm being very realistic about production times and am advertising a estimated delivery date for December 2014 but predict delivery earlier than that.

The court set I am using for the Kings Wild Tally Ho deck are my new Kings Wild Standard Court set that I will be using on future "standard" style decks. The Tally Ho AoS and Jokers are unique to the Kings Wild Tally Ho deck and are not part of the Kings Wild Standard Court Set.

Fantastic project Jackson, can't wait to pick these up, your courts came out beautifully.

Gratz!

Will there be a limited edition as well?

There will be no limited edition during this project. I want to keep this project very simple so that my first "go" at Kings Wild Funded has a great chance of success. I do plan on making a LTD edition of my Tally Ho deck but for now, no. I also wanted to keep the production cost low to help keep the retail price low.

My god, those courts look phenomenal. Love the restyle of the jokers, too!
Judging from the red back gaff, I'm guessing the only color will be blue?

I can't wait for the release! It looks awesome!

Hey guys just wanted to let you know that my Kings Wild Tally Ho will be going live on Kings Wild Funded on Monday.
