Yes. The plan is to go myself there and supervise printing in an effort to make sure they'll be as much delayed as possible!
Jokes aside, yes. Ideally I want to be present during printing.

Yeah, you are coming to Belgium!
Greasy potatoes on the menu

The direction this thread went in now makes me think of Der Struwwelpeter.

Any plans on stock and finish yet?

At this juncture, I'll be very happy that he even finishes by this year before thinking of stock and finish! If you look at the very 1st post, he's been teasing UC with this deck since 2016! I'm with Amy in feeling like Beetlejuice

Patience mate, patience. Everything which has value doesn’t come quick.

Hieronymus was held back mainly because of other stuff that had to be done but also due to a moment of doubt where I thought that maybe the undertaking was above anyone's potential.

No worries. I heard that Bosch was human after all

"Bite more than you can chew and then chew it"...... I've read that somewhere... Cannot remember where...

I always wonder if that quote means that one should pull it off - like, you grow with every challenge - or is this an advise to never bite more than on can chew?
Could be read either way.

It means take on more than you can/should handle and then do it. Fits Lotrek to a T. Hence the legendary delays (see Icons Imperial KS updates), half of them aren't even in his control! (see Ambassadors KS updates)

But the results are amazing and he's done things, no printer has even managed to do, not even USPCC with their Metaluxe. That's why they have wide borders and problems Ramsay faced with his 1st V1 decks having that small foil edge. Lotrek decks are always worth the wait.

Personally, I'm happy he's ambitious enough to take on Bosch and even happier that he remembered his motto and pressed on with the Herculean task of completing the Bosch deck, whenever it gets done.

100% agreed. This is why I'm waiting for the Blue Silk to arrive at home . I always hesitated to buy an 80$ deck, but this craftsmanship + effort just has to be supported.

By the way, does Lotrek send shipping confirmations? I have the order confirmation from last week, but no shipping confirmation.

All decks have been shipped. Just contact me for details.

I was just pointing out the consistency of Lotrek .
I love it too, even if it might be noted that when some other people do that, they choke on it ... As a guy with a very big mustache said: what doesn't kill us... Might cripple us... No, wait that's not it

Edit: now that I think of it, it makes perfect sense... As my grandmother told me, you should always chew very slowly!

Time to wake up this thread...

It is an herculean task, indeed. I think the concept has started going into the territory of (semi) transformation deck meets Bosch

Wait... is it 2024 yet?

I'm interested but have no idea what this thread is.

Read the first post and it should be clear. I'll admit this thread belongs in the draft section or general section to avoid confusion, but Lotrék gets some slack for being Lotrék.

Cool, is the deck out?

OVSUB wrote:Cool, is the deck out?

It's a Lotrék deck. Most definetly not released this year... or decade.

Ah

After more than a year or so ( the above post was made in Feb'19), a work in progress sneak peak of Bosch's deck is available in IG for next few hours.

This, along with your new prototype from the Archduke factory show you're doing some interesting things!

Looking to get some feedback & suggestions everyone. The suit indicator etc. is just a draft. What should be done to increase the playability even when it is more an art deck.

Please take a look at the following thread.

Is this deck still planned?

Lol... you're stumbling across the Lotrék threads lately, eh?
Last info was yes but it's Lotrék so maybe only your great-grandchildren will be able to purchase that deck (yes, time has no affect to Lotrék so he'll outlive us all).
