Not complaining; just want to know if I'm the last one left, or if the fulfillment is still underway.

Same boat, nothing here. Bears mentioning that I've only received tracking from Greece like twice since I've started buying Oath stuff. Also not complaining.

I received my tracking number this morning!
It'll be the official Royal Silk Purple (public release), Redemption IV deck (Silk Players Frost) and Redemption V deck (Icons Celestial).

My package arrived today!

I can get that to some extent this has a lot of the look of the first version of Silk, but .... it really is better in my opinion. I guess it will be up to each of us to decide for ourselves. I will be interested in what others think. However, I am pleased with the result. The level of accuracy and precision really is stunning to me.

Lotrek said he had given the right numbers to GW but it looks like they can't keep up. I also unfortunately didn't receive my two Royal Silk Teal Players in this order. Does anyone have a direct contact with GW whom I can reach out to? I hate bombarding Lotrek with the mistakes of GW.

When the decks are send it won't be possible to swap numbers.

Sure, I understand that. They may have very well destroyed my ability to create an entire Redemption set with matching numbers.

But I'm also missing decks in my order.

We need alternatives to GW. I wonder if Henry would be willing to tackle OATH orders. I will ask Lotrek if he's considered using him at all.

Funny enough, I received my tracking number this morning, too.

And then the package itself just a few hours later!

Looking forward to cracking one of each open tonight or tomorrow. Om nom nom!

I got 2 tracking numbers emailed to me today that cover 3 of my 4 orders. Hopefully get one more soon.

I like the green used for Icons Celestial, it's better than the Anniversary and Test Print version.

I compared the Official and Test Print purple Royal Silk decks, I was pleased. The Official version is more golden and crisp, the side details pop out more. The Test Print is very good but dull compared to the real. I see why Lotrek had to do it right but still wished it didn't take as long.

To date, I have not received any shipping notifications and have not received any decks. I am in the U.S.

UPDATE: Woke up this morning to an email from Gamblers. My package of 2 Royal Silk decks has a shipping number.

It is a start. Still looking forward to my Manic Tier (2 Royal Red Silk + 4 Patron decks +Gift Deck + Custom Box) at some point.

Yes we all are waiting for the Year 1 Patreon rewards too. So as far as the gift deck, it was mentioned in the November 9th 2021 Patreon email. It's supposed to be a different tuck case and foils from the red and purple. We got so many free / gift decks that is hard to keep up.

Yeah, it has been harder to follow along since cancelling my Patreon subscription, although I do wish I had kept up because those who cancelled were not eligible for any of the redemption or free decks bc we cancelled. Not sure I agree with that as we were also still waiting on our Year 1 and Year 2 Patreon decks, but it is what it is.

Just received shipping notice

I haven't gotten a shipping email but I emailed GW and they provided tracking so if anyone is waiting, that's an option

I’m not a patreon sub but a friend of mine sent me this photo because I was curious about how Royal Silk test came out versus the final. He said it appears Lotrek left in the mistake from the test print on the JOH. Has anyone else noticed the same?

I am not familiar with the test print issues, but I can confirm that issue on the Jack of Hearts is in the final Royal Silk deck as shown in the photo above.

I am surprised something like that slipped through to the final version if it was picked up on the test print.

Overall though, I am sure impressed with the print quality.

Alternatively if there's ink underneath, a daredevil might want to explore scraping off the foil.

Who turned off the lights?

Just wow. Granted the point of your comment is to point out the oversight, but the close-up pic really seems to display how intricate the work is. I can't wait to get my hands on my copies.

No debate there. Insanely intricate.

All parties have arrived

Got my 2 Royal Silk today. Was going to open the one that doesn’t align with my Patron #, but saw it is #111. I know not every Patron ordered these, but thought I would check if Patron #111 is here and wanted their matching number?

Also, anyone with Patron #077 have an extra Redemption Vol.I Gold/Silver. Alternatively does anyone here have #160 (my number)?

I’m number 182 - I have numbers:


I dark: 125,170
I light: 182,365
II: 182
III: 182,295,309
IV: 168,182,458,459,460,461
V: 88,111,168

Ouch!

we pay for what you get for -right?
not to say my numbers aren’t all over the place to

gotta consider this motto Lotrék is using clearly isn’t working with GW

like how do you mess up everyones orders that bad?

I’ll tell you how, over complicating things by trying to save money on consistent delays and bulk shipments

and slots are open for more errors

I would expect numbers other then patron number to be scattered

Missing the number on the I dark and V won’t cause me any grief

No complaints on my end either. It’s kind of an unrealistic thing to accomplish for any producer anyway. I just thought I would throw it out here just in case it’s an easy fix.

Still missing one of my 4 orders, hopefully, it will come soon. I have not received any tracking. I have messaged Lotrek but I have not heard back. Maybe he is on vacation.
