I am a bad influence! LOL.... I bricked it as well...


12 beautiful decks for less than $11 AND 2 of them LE? What's to ponder?

Wow guys I'm impressed!

THANK YOU

It just hit $6000 after 20 minutes. With 150 Early Bird pledges, nobody can complain!

I'm in for the 1 of each.

I got an EB brick

I hope/think this will make 22K for embossing

Guys, I'm really impressed, we should make the goal in few hours at this rate.

I thought these were launching later in the day, good thing I was up @ 4am and saw Mikes Instagram post about them launching. In with an Early Bird, great design you have here, sir.

Thank you!

Whew I'm happy I put a lot of early birds

Dang, was super late and still managed to get a 2+1 EB! Happy days

EDIT: Did I miss it or is the amount needed to unlock Illumina just not listed?

Well manage to sleep a little... What's funny is that there is still 2 EB Suprema bricks still left.. I could have slept in and still get my pledge level . By the way for those who took the $88 level, for $42 more you get 6 extra decks... $7 a deck is not bad.. Think about it while you still can switch

Eheh but you commented the project for first

I'm happy you did this as you always do ^_^

(lol btw just funded)

Yeah and i see I might of influenced one to switch from $88 level to the brick.. Good move whoever it was

Thank you Pierre, you're great

I'm writing the update

omg I didn't expected to write "FUNDED" so fast

FUNDED! Woohoo! Congrats Giovanni!

Woohoo ! Well deserved giovanni !

Yay guys I'm super happy today. I think we'll unlock a lot of stretch goal.

I wrote the first update (revealed Suprema Seal and the cute QoH Illumina)

If you want, read it here https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/th ... ts/1250804" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

At this speed, we'll unlock Illumina very soon

Having Early Bird pledges available for all tiers worked very well! Basically all but 10 for the brick without the Suprema Limited Edition decks are sold out. That jump from $88 to $130 was a friend of mine - she sits right next to me.

I bricked it to start with myself! We're over $12,000 and it looks like the Illumina deck unlock at the $18,000 stretch goal will come before the end of the first 24 hours...

I agree Mike. Whoever came up with those pledge levels did an amazing job

Congratulations Giovanni!

Congrats man looks amazing!

One quick question will the faces have the gradients on them or is it supposed to be foiled? Great work all around either way I'm off to back it now!

@pierre - Eheh I had a great advice on the pledge levels

@Lotrek - Wohoo thank you man! Very happy to see you there

@Jonnypowpow - Thank you! The gradients are to simulate the shine of the metallic ink I'm using the shiniest gold of Pantone.
Illumina have two metallic inks, gold&silver.

Set my alarm so I could be there at the start but actually was 6 hours late. I really have to learn to tell time. Missed the EB's but at least I'm in. Congratulations to all involved.
