"Well... I had some production issues with the ARMY deck, so I had to delay it for a bit. However I've been working on a little project in secret for a while that I've bumped up on my schedule. Be looking out on Kickstarter as it will be going live tomorrow."

Hell Yeah!!!
-
shhhhhh wait until it goes live hehehe big mouth
-
This just isn't fair. I'm still recovering from the Sherlock campaign, and thought I had till March 15th before another Jackson project went live. Hmm, time to crack open the Emergency Disposable Income. Just have to figure out where it will come from....
-
I really hope he just keeps it to this pair, maybe a limited tuck change, I just do not have it in me to back another 4-5 deck project. I'm in in Orates and a few others. He does not need to try and set another goal.
-
Wow. Just wow. Any inkling on a timeframe?
-
so luckily I will be up at 6 am central. Unless he is earlier then that I should be good to get in. If you get there please post the link soon as its live.
-
You know I will have the link minutes after it goes live
-
Those limited edition tuckcases look really amazing. I know it's just "packaging", but it's nice to see the return to vintage/older design that has been happening lately with the sideload tuck and now these.
-
You know I will have the link minutes after it goes live
Yeah, but now instead of a nice day out at the range or the workshop, I'll be like a rabid monkey on Heisenberg's meth wearing out my F5 button with multiple browser windows open for the better part of the day in order to get a pledge in. ;)
-
A shiny penny to anyone who sends me a PM when this goes live.
-
^ me too :D
-
CBJ, I made a tiny edit to the first post - you misspelled "Independence".
This is a gorgeous pair of decks. Like others have said, I hope he keeps it to two decks, that's it, because version fatigue could hamper the project's success.
-
He posted pics of the AoS on his FB pag. Looks like 4 decks so far, std and ltd editions of each one. :D
-
Here are the AoS
-
Beautiful! Good Lord, SO MUCH of my money is flying out the window to deck creators lately!! I'm in!
-
WHOA.
That looks absolutely AMAZING!
Love the tuck, love the aces, love the concept!
-
I'm trying to minimize my collection and budget properly (as I also have a love of cigars) but I think I will pledge for this for the simple fact that it says "Don't tread on me"

Looks like it'll be another stellar project. Funny how the uncut tucks are more expensive than an uncut card sheet. I barely missed out on the $11 level, clicked on it only to be told it's unavailable at one of the following screens. Maybe one of these days I'll be deemed lucky enough I guess. But I'm in for 2 of everything right now.
Congratulations on the launch Jackson, you're a shrewd businessman and a brilliant artist living the American Dream. Gotta love it.

Damn, I would have loved to got that, but was busy playing skyrim and missed it. :( :mindf-ck:

Just beautiful designs, as always, on the limited edition decks. Too bad I can't afford them at the moment with pledges I have for the Ornates and Grotesque, among others. Knowing me I'll change my mind when there are only a handful of limited edition deck slots left. I can't not have a set, right?
-
I just wish he would annoced it somewhere. I had facebook up and subscribed for e-mails. :(

I think he's on about a link for a draft or a launch time being posted

Landed 2 of everything, happy this is the first Jackson Robinson I've had the opportunity to back!!

Well, that didn't last long. I just pledged for the limited editions.

Your self-restraint is awe-inspiring.

$60,000 in 10 hours is awe-inspiring. FUNDED!!

If Jackson uses BackerKit, you'll have a chance to add on and pay for the standard decks after the campaign ends :)

Add-ons are listed on the front page of the Kickstarter project though quite a way on the bottom. Just add on the extra money on top of what your pledge tier cost and post campaign, more than likely, Jackson will use BackerKit to clarify what all the add-ons backers have and to give people a chance to add-on stuff they forgot.

What would be interesting is once his fulfillment house has everyone's deck in one place if backerkit/pledgemanager will be able to start offering decks from other creators past projects. I back Independence and since (only a hypothetical) KWF shipped Grotesque I can add those on to the same shipment, and then Jackson pays Lotrek for the deck sold minus a commission. If this is not already an idea Jackson I want a kickback.

If you are an INDEPENDENCE backer, you could win some Federal 52 decks

The problem there is that most of the decks you're referring to are sold out. It would be an awfully desolate place to shop, don't you think? :))
What you're basically describing is not entirely different that House of Playing Cards or (from what little I've heard about it) Deckstarter. So it already exists, no kickback for you! :))
-
Maybe its just me but these decks do nothing for me. I do like how the box was designed for the Limited Editions. But the back designs and especially the courts just aren't attractive to me. I usually keep to myself and don't say anything when a deck comes out that I don't care for. But I felt like voicing my opinion this time.
Congrats to all those that got this deck funded super quick. I was truly shocked how fast it got funded. :)
-
I'm the exact opposite, I think this is the nicest series that Jackson has done yet. Looks better in my eyes than any of the fed 52 items and what I imagine the Holmes decks to be like. Really looking forward to them.
-
WOW!!!!!!!
The boxes look gorgeous! YAAAASS, please keep us updated!
-
This is my first official backed Jackson Robinson deck :)
I would have love to get some Federal 52's but missed the kickstarter and they are so expensive right now. Might have to splurge though before they become out of stock all over.
-
Well, I have to confess: I'm not very interested on this deck. Call me crazy but I'm unable to like it. I'm not saying it's ugly but I can't back it (I will probably regret it).

They may seem expensive now, but it's not likely that the price will go down after they've sold out! Better to get them now while you can if you really want them.

You just missed the sale at Jackson's website two weeks ago. The first Fed 52 decks were on sale for 50% off. Following Kings Wild Project on Facebook for updates on any sales :)

If you missed the Federal 52 decks, I am giving away.... ALL of them!

It is the amazing artistry exactly like this deck that makes card collecting so rewarding. It is timeless and will always be one of my favorite decks! I cannot wait until mine arrives.
-
Extra pledge rewards for the limited deck are now available
-
Wow--did I really just do that? Did I just purchase the very last set of Limited Edition decks?! I have never spent that much on a deck.....but I'm giddy with excitement. It was the jokers that pushed me over the edge.
-
It was the jokers that pushed me over the edge.
the diptych jokers are cool, but the custom tucks are what did it for me... oh THAT and it's a Kings Wild Project - only 19 days left
-
Just a few days left, and another superb project be Jackson. Also want to say thank you for the little bonus feature you mentioned on the google hangout the other night(just finished watching it). I do have a question Jackson. Do you eat corn dogs now?
Any one interested in watching.

What's the bonus feature?
EDIT: Jackson just made my day.
Special Surprise for all Limited Edition backers!
I wanted to save this little surprise until the very end of the campaign for all of you Limited Edition backers. Something I found with my previous Limited Edition decks is that hardly anyone would open the decks and enjoy the art I spent so much time creating. This is what led me to create the vellum covered wrapping that could be opened and closed again without having to break any seals. To go even further and add even more "bang for your buck" I will be including two "Display Decks" with each Limited Edition set. Display decks are simply an extra set of deck that have the EXACT same cards found in the Limited Edition versions but that come in basic, uncellophaned, white tuck cases that will have nothing but the Kings Wild Logo on the outside. The purpose of these Display decks is to give you a chance to enjoy the Limited Edition cards and artwork without having to open the Limited Edition version if you don't want to.
So to recap anyone who is pledging for a Limited Edition set of Independence cards will get two complimentary Display Decks to go with you LTD Set, one Continental and one Crown. If you are pledging for 2 LTD sets then you will receive a total 8 decks, 2 LTD sets and 2 sets of display decks. Thanks again for your support.

I changed my pledge to the last remaining Limited once I got the update. Added on for two of each of the regular decks as well. I couldn't justify $75 dollars for two decks that I was never going to open, this makes it much more appealing.
-
Great idea, Jackson! Thank you very much!
-
I'm glad you guys like the Display Deck Idea.
Here are front and back shots of what they will look like.

Ultimately what Jackson just created will be an extremely rare limited edition set of decks. Due to the fact that although the display decks will be of the same number as the limited decks they were made to be opened, used and consumed. Over the long run they will become even rarer than the original limited decks which will be protected and horded for their limitedness.
Jackson, I applaud both the thought and the result. Keep your innovative ideas and unique decks coming we greatly appreciate your efforts and the resulting products.
-
I was also thinking the same thing, Shade :)
But then I also thought, since they are without cellophane they can still be opened, and looked at, touch and enjoy the art (like Jackson said).
For me, I think I will definitely keep those to look at from time to time.
Now I just need a 2 LE set to open up... :P
-
The market will determine this in the long run, but yes, I think those display decks will end up being the more rare and thus the more valuable over time due to use and attrition. It's a bit ironic, actually. You'll see collectors hanging on to the rare display decks and cracking open the LE versions, which will be more attractive and exist in larger numbers!
It's the playing cards version of the Star Wars Jawa action figure from the '70s with the vinyl cape. The less attractive version (which in this case is scarce because it was yanked off the market for a better-equipped version) fetches multiples over the better-looking one, new in package.

Received my limited and standard decks today! I'm really happy with the results. Above all I was most looking forward to breaking open the limiteds and seeing the unique tuckcase which did not disappoint. I despise seals and only had one to get through In order to get past the wax paper wrapping behind the signed band. So I broke out my razor blade and carefully removed the sticker to get at the deck itself. The only drawback was a little bit on an off centered punch on the foil embossing on my crown deck which is not really too noticible. Honestly it was a fulfilling experience. My biggest pet peave about seals is the residue they leave behind on the tuck no matter how carefully they are removed. Not having to mar the box made my day and in the end I resealed the deck quite easily. Minimal seals and no cellophane on the limited decks means a win in my book! Great job kings wild!
-
Wait is this happening now...oh, I just noticed the date... ;)

Thanks for the kind words. I'm excited to finally start hearing peoples thougths of the LTDs
-

Yep! Since the 2-deck collector's box finally arrived last wee, shipments for the Independence Kickstarter rewards have been going out every weekday. If you haven't gotten a shipping notice yet, but you'll get one soon.
-
I gushed so much about the tuck boxes that I completely forgot to talk about the cards themselves. The smooth finish feels like butter in your hands and the non textured surface makes the fine details of the artwork really pop. Also this is what my laptop looks like now.
