It should not be understated how impressive meeting the delivery estimate (one month is whatever) is. For a first time kickstarter, and a physical product? That's just... Impossible, unheard of
Thanks. I learned...SO MUCH...about global shipping this past year. It was...quite a lot behind the scenes. I am so proud of my team, of everyone who worked with me to get this out to all of you.
I'll take your word for it and try not to be an ungreatful complainer, just really anxious to finally get mine in the mail.
And don’t forget the volume
It really says a lot about how passionate the team behind getting this to customers has had to be. Also I know that fans working in shipping must've helped out without expecting prof or his team knowing they helped out too, logistics is really hard to get forward.
@@stephentylerworkman I’m also in the boat of apparently being in the final waves, so it’s been a bit of a bummer seeing other folks post theirs without even my shipping notification in my inbox, but all told I’m still very happy with the timetable. As OP pointed out, this is actually impressively fast.
…I’ll just, you know, also be a lot happier when it actually shows up 😅
I’m an LGS store owner, and will happily stock your deckbox for my players. We’re all proud supporters of your work!
Edit: Mine arrived today, and I just want to say… dear lord. PLEASE LET ME STOCK THESE
If i see an Academic on an LGS shelf, i would buy immediately
Instant snap purchase on sight.
As someone who was *on time* for the kickstarter, yet couldn't get a purchase through because everyone swarmed the kickstarter, I would gladly buy one of these from my LGS.
@@americanxlove exactly
It’ll be available from gamegenic once kickstarters are fulfilled they said
I was not playing MTG when the Kickstarter happened and I'm very bummed that I missed out on grabbing one. I'm hopeful that it becomes widely available in the future.
Same!
same i just got back into it a couple weeks ago. I'm looking to acquire all my goodies and accessories again. this box looks so much better then all the rest. wish i was able to grab one!
I know Darkside Games in Monrovia, California has them in stock, and they ship :-)
Ok. Got to admit that ending was totally unexpected and epic.
Thank you, Professor, for picking us as your companion on this amazing and magical journey!
I would love it if these became available at my LGS or through your website for purchase!
Yes, I would also instantly buy at least two if they became available on your website or through my local store! :)
I didn't start playing MTG until after the Kickstarter was over. If this was at my LGS, I would pick up 2 for me and probably a couple more as gifts for my brothers who play too!
Please make these available to purchase on your website or send stock to LGS's so I can pick one up!
@Switchhanded I'm the same, got back into MTG in the last few months in a big way and have built 4 decks already. Now looking to upgrade my storage and accessories game... it has been awesome to get back into the community at my LGS and let the nostalgia roll!
I sincerely hope these become available again. I couldn't afford it when they were first available, but man, they are definitely on my bucket list.
Same!
I wish I could have got one as well !!!
Prof please make them available if you can!
Yeah I didn't even know about this! Would love to buy this product.
True for me aswell! I missed the Kickstarter when it came out and now I hope for either a second run or buying it somewhere.
As I sit here today watching all your commander match’s from a year ago ;The plays of older cards revives memories I thought I’d lost.
My cards were passed to the younger kinfolk to add to and enjoy .
My Son and Nephew got me involved again in 2001 .
I have recently picked back up with Arena play.
Thank you and your Guest for such entertaining videos. My best to you and future endeavors.
Got my Academic yesterday! Huge fan of the teal/pink box I've got, fits my mint and pink sleeves wonderfully. Thanks for such a great product, Prof and GameGenic!
I got my Academic last week. I love it. My wife wants one too. So I would love for this to be made available again. Either through Kickstarter or my LGS.
I wish I was able to get one when they were being sold. If they did do another sale or it was available to LGSs I would grab one in a heartbeat.
Yeah, wish I knew about this last year, would love to get one.
I too am a jealous wife eyeballing my husband's Academic! I will be emailing the LGS's in my area to reach out to Gamegenic on our behalf!
Didn't realize shuffle up and play came out of that kickstarter, glad my money went to use to grow the channel even further along with funding a passion project!
I would have backed shuffle up and play if i had known that. Just don't need the (beautiful) deckbox.
It was indirect, one of the stretch goals was prof playing commander or something like that towards the end (along with explaining how magnets work, which was hilariously done with Kyle hill).
i remember watching the video where you announced the box, and its awesome to see someone who cares so much put so much effort into a product for the TCG community. You're the man
so happy to see this finally coming towards the end, I should get my own "order" on monday & am undescribably excited for it. Really appreciates the work you've put towards both this, the community as well as anything else you've done so far
Congrats on this collab.
Would love to see you guys on shuffle up and play🎉🎉
@@dbuck8781 Same! Imagine an emperor game on Shuffle Up and Play if there was another duo team (I'll name NitPickingNerds because that's my first thought), Prof, and since I think it'd be spicy fun, Spice8Rack. Prof and Spice are the emperors and the other two groups can be either split up between them, or it's J&J together with one emperor and the NPN with the other.
JAKE AND JOEL ON SHUFFLE UP AND PLAY PLLZZZ
Definitely would be a great shuffle up and play!
My package arrived at the best possible time - today on my birthday! Thank you so much, The Professor and The Team 💜 Beautiful Purple/Black Exclusive is lit!
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday! :D Purple is the best color.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday my dood
Happy birthday!
I was hoping for an announcement that this is becoming a regular product. It looks incredible!
Same, I'm still trying to get my hands on one.
It will be now!
@@ZetaHaruwill it? I thought long about starting to play magic. And now I just really started because of lotr. Such a nice product would be a good fit!
@@bagorolin Yeah gamegenic announced it! I also just got into magic and am loving playing dinos lol. I think the box is worth if it you prefer stacked cards over binder pages!
I am still sad that I returned to magic a few days too late to discover this perfection. I hope that second chances do exist and I get a chance to both support prof and have the deckbox of my dreams
Buy one from GameGenic
Same. Exact same.
300-500 for one on the secondary lol what
@@jasonjuarez7371 Check out TCG player, someone's gutted entire bundles and pecemealed them out. $50 for a single fucking card divider.
Me too :(
I had no idea Shuffle Up and Play was a result of the funds the Kickstarter provided! It makes me wish I had been able to support it now. Shuffle Up and Play is my favorite series for Magic games content; I love watching people play formats that I struggle to play!
Shuffle Up & Play quickly became my top actual play show for MTG. I don't have time to watch many, but I manage to watch all of Shuffle Up & Play. The changing formats, the deck gimmicks, and importantly the friendly banter.
Yep, "Shuffle Up & Play" and "Commander At Home" (they got Kyle Hill! and doggos!) are the two that I watch regularly. So much banter, the rest just don't get close.
I just bought a gamegenic deck box the other day and it had an ad for you on it. so cool, been watching for years. Congrats!
Received mine today....IT'S AWESOME!!!!!! better than I expected it to be. Thank you TCC & Gamegenics for making a wonderful project but also thank you to everyone else who backed this Kickstarter with me to even make this possible, we as a TCC community really are an awesome group.
Seriously cannot wait to get mine in the mail. I never, and mean NEVER back Kickstarter projects because of the high rate of non-delivery. I knew yours would be different. One of the shining examples of how Kickstarter can bring people's dreams to life, if done correctly.
While I could not afford to join the Kickstarter, I've loved watching your progress with making your dream come true! The Academic looks absolutely amazing! Congratulations Professor! Job well done!❤
I received mine yesterday, and I want to make a special thanks as a Flesh and Blood player. I'm not sure if it was intentional to make the perfect FAB box specifically but you did it. Fitting hard cases into various deck boxes was always a gamble, and they naturally never seemed right for them. But Mini-Snaps fit right into the main compartment and I can fit six (!!) in one of the drawers. It comfortable fits a whole CC deck in the main compartment with hard cases, and the foam divider it's nice and snug. Many people compared this to the Gamegenic Cards' Lair 400+, which is fair overall, but the drawers are actually just a little bit deeper, and it makes all the difference because I can now fit a whole blitz deck and commoner deck in addition to CC where I could not with the Cards' Lair (though that has so much room for more or less every deck you own in the main compartment, feels like overkill). It still has plenty of room for a ton of dice and even a small ledger. It does all of this while being roughly the same size as the great Gamegenic Stronghold, which I might just give away now that I have this one. If you prefer to put a smaller deck box inside the Academic, I was surprised to see it could fit an entire Ultimate Guard sidewinder (thanks to the removable divider, stroke of genius), which the Cards Lair 400+ could not!
My only regret is I can't really tell people to go out and buy it because the time for that has passed, but here's hoping that won't always be the case. You did a great job, Prof and his hardworking team!
This will be my first deck box since the 00's and I'm very excited to put it to work! Great job, Prof! Thank you for providing a wonderful product!
I absolutely love my Academic, I have 2 edh decks in it, along with a plethora of dice and other things in it. Thank you so much for the awesome product, and yes I did test turn it over and try to shake it open.
Glad you enjoy it!
shout out to all the players that backed the Kickstarter campaign and helped bring Shuffle Up and Play to life
I have just received my 4 Academics today, and thank you so much for making this dream into a reality. I don’t even have that many Commander decks but you have inspired me to fill these amazing deck boxes with them.
Got mine today! Thank you all the way from Malaysia, Prof!
A year ago I didn’t have the money to spare for this. Now I do and would happily wait another year to receive it. I hope Gamengenic does make more and I’m glad they have your permission to do so.
Dude I couldn't afford it either and I want it so bad! I wish I could just buy one.
@@MrParadox009 Me too :( I CAN NOW THOUGH
Same but now I do and it's sold out
Yo the very same here.
It was only $40 and it was available for over a month. You dont have a job or own a single thing you could have sold??? It must not have been that important to you.
Congrats Prof. I wasn't able to participate in this unfortunately, but I'm so happy to see this come to fruition. If these ever are in stores I'll definitely be grabbing one.
I'm so happy for you, Professor. Your channel got me into Magic and your deck box and sleeve reviews were a big part of guiding me towards quality products from Ultimate Guard, Dragon Shield and Legion to protect my card collection. Thanks for steering me in the right direction. After all those years of tireless and critical deck box reviews, you finally have your own solution and you deserve it. I missed the Kickstarter (had no idea this was thing actually, until now), so I'll be on the lookout for this if it ever arrives to the shores of the UK.
After some back and forth with chasing down UPS, I got my boxes yesterday and they're absolutely fantastic. I love them so much. I feel like I should have splurged on more extra stuff during the kickstarter but what I got I love. Great product. And a fantastically managed kickstarter. The fact that a project this large delivered out basically on time is a great accomplishment. There are some kickstarter projects I'm waiting on that are well over a year late, and most run months past due. This was delivered mostly on time, and with great communication each step of the way. I had zero fears or doubts while waiting. Can't wait to take these out to play, they've already been played with one group, and I'm so pleased to have nice boxes finally.
EDIT: Also Shuffle Up and Play is fast becoming one of my fave TH-cam "shows". It's a lot of fun to watch. I'm glad it exists.
I got mine about a week ago and it’s been incredible! An A+ product for sure, I’ll definitely be requesting these at my LGS, I couldn’t have asked for a better quality deck box and I just wanted to say thank you guys for your hard work to make this happen!
I'm very excited to see Prof start incorporating the flamethrower test into all of his deckbox reviews!
Hey Prof.! I know you said to not comment on the video for an update on our orders, but I have not heard back yet on mine. I do believe I messaged your team as properly instructed. This is my first kickstarter I’ve ever participated in and just hoping I did everything correctly! Much love, and congrats on The Academic!
What a great video. I love your work and this product looks to be something great. I am happy that I was fortunate enough to pledge into the Kickstarter last year and now I am waiting for my own box + playmat. Very excited. Thanks for everything Prof
Glad to see this update, the thumbnail had me hoping this was a new product review though. We haven't had one of those in a while.
Those should resume soon now that The Academic is out. I felt there was a bit of a conflict of interest during the interim.
This is why you are amazing Professor. I feel like you always look at the bigger picture.
Wish I had known about this kickstarter when it was up. Just hopped back into mtg about 5 months ago, so I didn't know this existed. I'm happy that this is out there though, I will definitely look for one asap.
Being patient is killing me. I cannot wait. I am so excited for this to arrive at my doorstep.
“Hey, prof, thank you so much”
So I've wanted to say a few things about the kickstarter and this seems like the best place to do so.
First and foremost, love my deck boxes! They came in last week and I immediately loaded them up and took them to an LGS to play.
Second, the packaging really is excellent. I was delighted opening it up and seeing the TCC emblem show through.
Finally, I normally don't do live plays, but Shuffle up and Play has been great. Fun guests, diverse in both game play and background, I'm happy that I was able to contribute to it in any way.
Thanks for everything you do for the community, Prof and team!
Just arrived mine to Valencia, Spain! It's so great and the unpacking experience was really neat with all those little details and messages. A+ and glad to back this channel.
Me alegro que te guste nuestro trabajo. Soy de Valencia también. :)
Hoping to see extras be sold one day. Such a good deck box that I absolutely need
Received mine a short while ago and I am very pleased with it. Joined the Kickstarter primarily to give something back for all the great content created all these years. Very happy that this made Shuffle Up & Play possible, I enjoy that show a lot.
I received mine in the mail a couple weeks ago and gave my favorite Commander deck a new home. I love it, great work Professor!
How secure does it hold a single commander deck? I haven’t gotten mine yet but I’m worried my doubled sleeved deck will still have to much space in it
@@NickAck23 A fully double-sleeved Commander deck leaves a small amount of space. If this concerns you I would recommend using something as a spacer to hold them more tightly. One of the paid extra features was a foam spacer which I didn't get but you can use anything to do this really.
Awesome I did get one of those sizemorph dividers. Excited for mine to ship. Thanks for the response!
I’m excited for mine to get here! Thank you for continuing to make great content in a time where I’ve been ‘cost sensitive’ and feeling the product fatigue. I’ve not been watching as much mtg content from others, but I always love watching your channel!
Cant wait to get my hands on mine when it arrives here in Brasil, first time backing up a project ever on kickstarter! Glad to be a part of it
Love that you tacked the testing promo on the end here, and I happily watched it again
Love the deckbox. Have been trying it out for a couple days now and I like that I can store a bunch of cool accessories for a certain favorite deck in the top component and still have room for swap out cards, tokens, custom play pieces, and some other etsy knick knacks. Great job prof!
Still waiting on my email saying mine has shipped. Been closely following the Kickstarter updates over the last year!
Proud of all you accomplished Prof!
Same
You know prof a big contributor to your success with the Kickstarter is that you communicate with us. Safety is a big part of what makes us feel comfortable buying a product. There's been a huge amount Kickstarters that just flop and never return anything to the consumers but with you we are confident we will get a top quality product without having to worry when it will arrive. Thank you Prof for everything you do!
Hello from Canada! Just got my Academic today and it's everything you promised it would be. I am absolutely in love with it, you and your team have done an excellent job.
Received without issue in the UK. Great work. I love it. This box will proudly house my 2 favourites decks. Congratulations 🎉❤
Man, I'm so excited and so happy for Prof and the TCC crew.
I just picked up mine from the post.
Thank you Professor! Amazing deck box, great quality, exciting unboxing and a reason to finally try to play Merfolk with these new tokens.
I am a bit sad I couldn't grab a hand signed one, but that only means you have to do another kickstarter, so I can have a second chance! :) Thank you!
My wonderful amazing wife got me the deck box, the matts, all the stuff for my birthday and fathers day, it just came in the mail yesterday and i gotta say im FLOORED. I love everything that was included. It was well worth the wait. Im so happy we got to a part of the kickstarter and hope everyone gets as much enjoyment from theirs as i will mine. A++ !
I love how gamegenic cares about your voice and opinion so much that not only did they work with you on a box, they put your grading and a sentence or two of your review on their packaging. Can't wait for my academics to finally show up
It’s absolutely beautiful Prof! I’m beyond impressed with both the form and function! Such a privilege to have been a part of this!
I'm incredibly happy you were able to get this done! I'm very excited and I eagerly await for mine to arrive!
I got mine a couple weeks ago, and it's fantastic!
Thanks Prof, many props and kudos to you!
Professor, you've done an amazing job living up to the demands of your Kickstarter. Congratulations! You've earned it!
I missed hearing about this project until 1 week after it was already closed. I really hope that either Gamegenic continues to offer a version or that you start another kickstarter.
That's amazing that the funds also went towards "Shuffle up and play". The Kickstarter was so successful that it went towards producing more Mtg content
I cannot tell you how excited my friends and I are to get this deck box. I shared this to all my friends who play magic and proud to say the 4 of us bought in. I even built a new commander deck in anticipation. Great stuff Prof!
I NEED this this is literally the deck box I was looking for!! I hope you can make it available everywhere
I hope this gets another release because when I saw it the Kickstarter was already over. I'm pretty new to Magic and this looks like a really good box to put my cards aside from the box they came in
You can also check other deck boxes that Gamegenic offers, which are available and affordable!
Ugh. I can't believe I missed this!!! Congratulations on the successful Kickstarter and I'm so grateful for it because of Shuffle Up & Play! I'm a Pokemon player and I love that series with everything in me!
Already got mine in the mail and absolutely love them! Congrats on your Kickstarter campaign, it was perfect from beginning to end!
Still patiently waiting for mine ❤ I’m going to actually reach out to the Kickstarter team as I do have a few questions! Thanks for everything, Prof!
Proud to have been a backer, proud to be a student of the Tolarian Community College, proud of you Prof xx
These are gorgeous. I'm so happy you were able to get this stuff made.
Our FLGS still does league, with about forty people each set playing for six weeks. This is truly perfect for my needs. Two drawers for the two decks we inevitably make, room for the max of rest of the twenty packs worth of cards in the main slot, and dice right up top for ease of choosing who goes first. Thank you, Prof!
Got my Academic this morning! It is perfect!
Professor I hope there is some way you can get Gamegenic to continue to produce your amazing card box. I'm unfortunately a new fan to the channel and was not around for the Kickstarter and am seeing your deck boxes go for up to $500 on TCGplayer. It looks like such a quality product and I hope it's something I can add to my collection one day if they can be produced again, even if it is with a price increase to cover costs it would be well with it for such a great product.
I got it early this week.
It was everything I ever wanted in a deckbox for a blinged out commander deck.
Thank you!
Professor, this journey has been incredible! You've given so much to this community and it has culminated to the overwhelming success of the Academic. Your genuine love and care for this game and the community is felt and we all appreciate you so much!
I'm so glad this was a success and I cannot wait to get mine and play with my friends. I look forward to the day I get to meet you, shake your hand, and bawl my eyes out in appreciation for you, but until then, the Acedemic will do.
You're the best, Brian!! Never stop being awesome!!!
Honestly, Promising February and getting it done March isn't that bad a delay. I've seen kickstarters with months of delays.
I can’t wait for mine to be ready for shipping. I placed a large order and don’t even remember what exactly was in it. I want to leave it as a surprise for when the time comes. Congrats again, Professor!
My Academic got here yesterday! I must assume expectations were high... and you overachieved on every single detail!!!
The box it came in, texture, easy to use, everything! I loved your product so much that I wish I had ordered more deckboxes! haha
Congratulations on the great kickstarter, Prof!
I jumped on this opportunity when announced and can say I am totally ecstatic about this product. It's the first time I have ever participated in a kickstarter and it was a great experience. Proff, congratulations on a glaring success. Thank you for doing this. I am so happy to own one of these incredible deck boxes. Cheers friend!
As a long-time buyer of GameGenic products and a long-time viewer of your channel that has just received his Academic Deckboxes - thank you so much for all the passion you poured into the product. It was truly a dream come true to witness this team-up. So happy this came to pass and I’m looking forward to using these for years to come! I can’t say this enough - thanks, Prof!
As much as I'm genuinely heartbroken to have missed this opportunity, I'm so excited that they're finally starting to get to their homes, and into the community.
Even if this is a "one and done" release, what it represents to the fanbase is something I'm going to remember for as long as I play.
This production isn't something that could have ever come from a company directly, this box is a million voices screaming their love of the gathering and it warms whatever occupies the space within my person that is often referred to as a soul.
If I can't get one of yours, I'll have to learn how to make my own, I'm not seeing this as "missing out" on something once in a lifetime, but instead I'm going to use the feelings of personal frustration with my financial situation to motivate me in putting the talents and skills collected in my life towards creating my own letter of dedication to the hobby.
My own locus of passion.
I'm kinda excited.
I'm just happy to support the work everyone put into these amazing products! Just got my 2 - 133 and 2 - 266 boxes this afternoon and wow...the quality is exceptional! Thank you Prof and Team!
Can't wait for mine to show up! I am also happy to hear this is what helped fund Shuffle Up & Play. Easily my favorite gameplay series for MtG. Keep up the great work Prof!
I was so excited when I first saw the announcement video about the Kickstarter on the Academic. And now I'M EVEN MORE EXCITED to see it finally arrive! I can't wait to bring to all my competitions!
I’m proud of your success, despite all the hiccups. I’m still waiting for mine to arrive, and am bummed i didnt get my first 2K box the way I shouldve, but I’ve been a subscriber since I was a teenager, and I’m proud to be part of this. I wish you good health and happiness going forward 😇
Man.. im just now getting back into magic after some years and how i would love one of these boxes. Ive watched your videos for years and you have always been my go to for card protection and honesty. If there are ever anymore or gamegenic decides to stock some please keep us informed. Thanks prof
I just got my Academic today, and it looks and feels great. Now I just need to figure out my favourite deck to use it for. Great work Prof!
The unboxing experience itself was sublime. Thank you again and again. I now have the perfect box to share my shared EDH cards across my 3 decks.
I have I got mine a week ago and I can't be happier with the quality and practicality of this box. Thank you so much Professor
it came yesterday in the mail (italy here), both the quality of the box, the playmat and tokens is outstanding, the art and foiling of the tokens are beautyfull. Professor and his team did a fantastic job
Just wanted to say thank you. I got my box earlier this week and I have to say this is the best product of its type I have ever owned. I hope someday others can easily acquire these as well and enjoy the pleasure of owning one I now feel. You did us all a great favour producing this item. I hope you feel justifiably satisfied on a job well done.
Amazing skit; made me laugh a lot. Happy to have helped sponsor Shuffle Up and Play! Looking forward to receiving my order!
My Box came last week. Thanks Prof! It's a really great, love it! Thanks for your work!
That's why I bought 3 academics a year ago. My friend is getting one of em with a ikoria collector display I bought at the release. It was the first display where we shared the cards!
I could not be more happy with my deck box. Thank you for taking the leap and doing this project.
Got mine in the first wave was super thankful for that. it's SO NICE. What a great product man. Thank you so much!
I'm usually sceptical when it comes to Kickstarters, but this was a MUST in my opinion. I've learned EVERYTHING I know about MTG through this channel and your amazing content. I absolutely can't wait to get my hands on my box - I'm so happy and proud to be able to support such a great community, and a wonderful creator!
I received the teal/pink box I pledged for and love it! If Canadian retailers sell The Academic, I'll definitely pick up another. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to both receive a quality product and to show my support to this great channel!
Beyond excited ... got notification my order will be arriving this Wednesday!!!!! 🇦🇺 ❤ first kickstarter to back, Great experience!!!!!!
I just want to thank you. I have lost all of my cards twice, and swore off the game for over 12 years. I came across your videos a little under a year ago, and they got me to build, and buy (all singles!) one of my old decks and get back into the game. Since then, reconnecting with a community I thought was lost, or at least so different I wouldn't fit in, has been a huge help for me in these harder times. Your in depth and informed opinions on cost vs value has been amazing for me. Unfortunately, I didn't see you Kickstarter video until it was way to late, but I hope you can bring this amazing product to a more mass market, as I would be one of the 1st (1st reprinted?) to jump on board. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to this silly, complex, frustrating, and amazing game, and all the awesome people that love it.
