Hello Backers,
Just a quick update for those waiting on Brick Boxes. I have paid the fulfillment costs to Gambler's as of this week. Now waiting for GW to schedule the work. They need to collect the decks and pack them and get them out. FINALLY. I'm so sorry this has taken this long. A lot of unforeseen expenses and problems over the course of this campaign really stretched this out to uncomfortable levels for everyone. I hope you enjoy the decks once you receive them and that the Prototype deck and deck upgrades added to every order at least makes you feel a little bit better about backing these. I know a few folks have been expressing their displeasure in the comments, and I understand.
I know a few folks have reached out regarding address changes via email. I will get to you asap.
Best,
TGW
Finally on the last step!

Hi all, just a quick update. Gambler's is currently putting together the deck packages for the outstanding brick orders. I'm waiting on final inventory counts just in case I have to send some of my personal reserve to them to finish fulfillment.
As it stands I'm planning for every customer who is owed a brick of Beetle Backs to receive:
3 blue beetle back decks
3 red beetle back decks
4 black beetle backs
1 gold beetle backs
1 green beetle backs
Plus
1 of the prototype cellophanes decks
1 of the flat tuck boxes (random color)

Hi all, been awhile. I'm having Gambler's ship out the decks that would be part of the brick boxes. THe bricks boxes themselves are not ready. And expedited it costs funds that would have long run out. So instead I'm having every 'brick' of decks upgraded with a dynastinae, a legacy and a prototype deck (the last of the wjpc prototypes--not the cartamundi ones which were the ones in the proto tier). Then I'm having that package of decks, sans the brick box itself, sent out to each who ordered it. Note that when the boxes are finally ready, I will send them out flattened to each person. But I've been taking a beating in the comments section from a few very loud folks and frankly I'm tired of it.
If I could I would refund everyone, but that would cost about $16k. In the end, this solution instead will have cost me an additional $3400 out of pocket (on top of the potential earnings of the substituted decks. I hope it's acceptable. And I'm sorry for not communicating sooner.

Hi all, I was hoping to have better news for you all then I currently do. Unfortunately there is water damage on some of the brick boxes (similar thing happened with the uncut sheets). I only ordered a limited supply--enough to fulfill the rewards. SO I am reprinting the brick boxes. So unfortunately there is more delay on this.
To make up for this, as I mentioned, I am offering a very special gift. Everyone who is still owed a Brick Box will receive a WJPC Prototype Beetlebacks deck cellophaned and a random flat tuck box. These differ from the 33 Cartamundi Prototypes that were offered during the campaign. Those have a hand numbered seal and are cellophaned in the Blue/Red Combo Tuck box that was originally set aside for the Marked Version that was NEVER PRODUCED. These WJPCC proto decks will come cellophaned but without tuck. The tuck will be randomly assigned and flat so backers who receive it can put the box together and store their prototype inside them if desired. See the image below.
I was initially planning on keeping these decks in a special reserve--but I think it makes MUCH more sense as a peace offering to brick box backers.
You can see the different edges created by the differences in card edges of the different editions printed WITHIN the prototype deck.
Once again, I'm very sorry for the extremely delay on this. This fulfillment has been an absolute nightmare that backers DEFINITELY do not deserve. I've continued to learn valuable lessons with this. Some that were implemented with the Parlour Royale release--which were in customer hands merely WEEKS after the campaign closure.
One a more positive note: Please visit the amazing project by Lorenzo G. The Odd Fellows by Stockholm17! Its a beautiful and hilarious take on playing cards!
Best,
TGW

Hi all, just a quick message to let all the brick box backers know I'm still working to get those out to you asap. More than likely in September, just based on what Gambler's has in queue. HOWEVER, I also wanted to mention that everyone who ordered a brick box will get a special gift with their order from me and I think you'll be pleased! Hopefully it will make the delay worth the wait!
