Hi all, thank you so much for your patience and understanding.
We are closer than ever to finally having the decks in your hands. The pallet of Beetle Backs has arrived at Gambler's Warehouse and the decks are being counted and processed. I suspect the fulfillment should start as soon as Gambler's can schedule it.
A note on the 33 prototype decks... they were hand numbered by me and then cellophaned. We used the combination red/blue tuck case (originally intended for the marked deck that never came to fruition). So if you managed to snag one you should be excited!
Fulfillment begining.

Hi all, first of all, I'd like to apologize for not updating everyone sooner. I wanted to wait until I had more concrete information but alas many have suggested that any update is better than no update. Having said that I can inform you that I am going to be fulfilling Beetlebacks myself (due to issues with WJPC eroneously shipping the decks to my personal home rather than Gamber's Warehouse). This does have some small ramifications. For one thing the process will be a bit slower than usual--the good news though is that fulfillment will begin the week of 5/26. The intermitent week will be so that backers have a chance to double check their delivery info.
On that note, please check your emails so that we can lock the addresses. Thanks again for your patience and understanding.
Final Hiccups Before Fulfillment!

Hi all! I know many of you must be wondering where things are with Beetlebacks... here's an update.
We've encountered a few inconveniences. For one thing, due to a mix up with WJPC the decks were shipped to my HOME rather than Gambler's Warehouse. I currently have 55 boxes of Beetle Backs in my dining room. This is less than ideal. Additionally JC of Studio Pression was recently ill and the brick boxes were not ready until recently. They are currently one the way to me so that I can pack and cellophane the bricks. I'm still trying to ascertain whether I will fulfill the decks myself or ship them to Gambler's Warehouse for a non insignificant amount of money.
The good news: The decks are in MY POSSESSION. Which means they will be in yours shortly. I will update again when I have more info. Secondly, the decks look spectacular and I can't wait for everyone to get them. ANd the brick boxes look spectacular too!
Trust that no one wants this project to be completed more than I do. I have 2 deck projects on HOLD until this is finished so It's affecting my business immensely. Have faith and patience please. Thank you so much.
Best,
Omar

This is a follow up to the just posted update on The Beetle Backs!
Some customers have reported an issue with the free deck redemption on TheGentlemanWake.com... After investigation it appears that the the website was defaulting to the Legacy promotion without accounting for the additional Dusk deck when ordering. SO for clarity here's what I've done:
Use promo code LEGACY2025 for the free Legacy deck on ANY deck purchase.
Use promo code BUNDLE2025 for the free Legacy AND Dusk decks on ANY purchase of 3 items of more.
Sorry about any confusion! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected] if you have any concerns or questions!
The Beetle Backs update for 2025!

Dear Backers,
Happy New Year! We hope this update finds you well! First and foremost, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your incredible patience and unwavering support for the Beetle Backs Playing Cards campaign. Bringing this project to life has been a labor of love, and we are thrilled to finally share some fantastic news with you.
The decks are officially en route from WJPC’s factory in China to Gamblers Warehouse in Texas for fulfillment! While our original timeline estimated a January 2025 fulfillment, we appreciate your understanding as we worked diligently to ensure the highest level of quality and craftsmanship for these playing cards. The wait is almost over, and we cannot wait for you to hold these stunning decks in your hands.
Speaking of stunning—the decks look absolutely spectacular! We’ve shared some production sample videos taken directly at the factory, and they speak volumes about the care and attention to detail that went into every aspect of these cards. We’re confident they’ll exceed your expectations.
Now for a surprise that we’re particularly excited to share: The Beetle Backs Prism Edition has been upgraded to feature prismatic foil on the faces (as seen in the video above)! While this enhancement was initially tied to a stretch goal that we didn’t quite cross, we felt it was too special not to bring to life. This upgrade was paid for out of the campaign’s pocket as our way of saying thank you for your support and belief in this project. We hope this unexpected upgrade makes the Prism Edition even more magical for you.
But that’s not all! As a token of our appreciation, we’re thrilled to offer a special gift through TheGentlemanWake.com. Starting now, every purchase will include a free The Successor: Legacy Kickstarter Exclusive Edition Deck (while supplies last) and for orders over $50, we’ll include an additional free The Tale of the Tempest: Dusk Edition Deck (while supplies last). To receive these gifts, please make sure to add the respective free decks to your cart at checkout to trigger the discount. It’s our way of expressing gratitude to this incredible community for helping us bring these projects to life.
We’ll continue to keep you updated as fulfillment progresses, and we’re here to answer any questions you may have along the way. Once again, thank you for being part of this journey. Your support has made the Beetle Backs Playing Cards a reality, and we can’t wait for you to experience them firsthand.
