Lotrék give as a warning!!!

If I recall correctly, the curse only applies if you share the pictures of the deck . Nothing about opening. In fact, Lotrek doesn't use seals as he wants you to open and enjoy the art.

Oh, Lotrek WANTS people to open his decks. He specifically messaged me once to check if I would open his deck or not, if not, he probably would give me a spanking, having known how I deal with cards

What are you referring to when you say "a 1 hour break?"

There are some sounds coming from the crypt...

Ahh it's my wallet fearing the second part of the payment

Lotrek how will this be charged?

LOL... I hear that sound as well. Asked him on instagram - no reply yet.

He just sent out an email

"As we are approaching THE DAY, I have to let you know that this day won't be the 15th of April... Coronavirus seems to be universe's response to the existing danger of a Lotrek deck delivered in time! The Greek government imposed a general shutdown very early -which is great for the public health- but for the production it has been horrible. Most of my suppliers and printers are operating 2 - 3 days a week with half their staff so things are moving s l o o o o w l y. . .

I don't mean to scare you, the delay won't be huge, my prediction based on the so far progress is about a week to 10 days. What may be a problem though, is that due to the covid19 situation the Hellenic Post does not accept parcels for all countries. Currently they ship to some European countries only. I hope that this will change by the day that the deck will be completed and ready for shipping. Fingers crossed and I'll keep you posted.

The sale of the last Late Bird decks will be on Sunday April 12 at 10:00 am EDT. On Monday 13 April we will also send an email to all who have selected the 50% deposit option so that they can complete their purchase."

The CRYPT is safe to open BUT:

This guy (a backer from Alabama) thought that he could post a pic using a fake IG account. This happened overnight:
Also, here's a preview of me working on the guys who will actually post pics:

Glad to know.

Nice pictures btw.

No, he was just making plans for "that day".

Okay, my guess is that Lotrek will be placing at least two foils together in a tight pattern, kind of like how he did with one foil in Silk. This time it will be two foils this time to make a rainbow effect.

Wonder who are the lucky two?
That's some next level intimacy

Got one!

Wonder who are the lucky two?

Sigh. Fixed. I usually check for typos and misspelling. For just such illustrated reasons.

12 late birdies still up. I picked up another one as well.

What the Hell Lotrek? I know you wanted to keep it a secret but I just got my Crypt deck in early...is this some kind of joke???

Famous last words.

5 late bird decks still waiting

Did lotrek ultimately put a limit on the number of crypt decks he releases? I thought he would base his print run on the number of decks ordered.

Lotrek decided to print a limit of 500 decks based upon how many decks were pre-ordered through the initial pre-order sale.

The 25 "Late-Birds" for sale today were the few decks left that had not been previously pre-ordered.

Well scrap my response. Simon beat me to the punch.

Most expensive standalone Lotrek deck by some margin (~50% more expensive) but curiosity got the better of me.

Only one Crypt Late Bird deck left. 118 Euro.
