Important 6.9 Sale Information
Added 2022-09-24 01:57:39 +0000 UTCPlease only send a private message if nessessary, to prevent things from bogging down, please be patient. I will get everything taken care of for everyone :-)
The quantity breakdown is interesting....most patrons only purchased 1 box.
The quantity limit would not have extended the sale much at all.
If the limit was set to 1 box order patron.
The sale would have lasted 3 more minutes....essentially no difference.
80% of orders - 1 box orders
12% of orders- 2 box orders
1% of orders- 3 box orders
7% of orders- 4 box orders
~250 - RECORD SHATTERING AMOUNT CRYPTO PAYMENTS
~67 - military/vet - early payments
The reality is most patrons i have spoken with, simply wanted the box and the gold pins/dice and the overall unique cards. The financial aspect was not the driving force.
This sale had the highest quantity of patrons participate in the history of any Alpha Investments sale.
Over 2,000+ patrons participated within 5 minutes.
I am oversold by about 90 patrons.
All orders time stamped before 9:06:00 PM EST are guaranteed filled
9:06-9:09 PM EST are in the possible fill area
Timestamps AFTER 9:10:00 PM EST will most likely need to be contact next week :-)
I will contact those individuals next week to assist on either swapping over something else at reduced pricing or refunding. Of course, they can also just keep a credit on the account for future sales like the Warhammer 40k / Unfinity.
Please be patient, it will take a solid 2 weeks to get everything done and wrapped up.
I will be auditing orders all day tomorow and should have tracking numbers going out within 48 hours.
YOUR TRACKING NUMBER WILL NOT UPDATE QUICKLY.
IT WILL TAKE 2 WEEKS TO PROCESS SOMETHING OF THIS SIZE
PLEASE BE PATIENT :-)
I know we havent been talking about it yet, but

9/30/2022 - FRIDAY NIGHT - UNFINITY COLLECTOR BOXES

No matter how you feel right now, i appreciate you supporting and being here for this legendary night to celebrate the 6.9 year journey through cardboard.
The good days, bad days, emotional days, are all part of life :-)

I'm looking for some of the Metazoo items if you end with those.
2022-09-26 17:26:14 +0000 UTCLet that be a lesson to all of you: always read the fine print.

2022-09-26 01:02:06 +0000 UTCI'll be honest this was a bozo move.
2022-09-26 00:38:57 +0000 UTCthere isn't a confirmation. you'll get a creepy rudy email in a few days, or he will contact you for either alternatives or refunds (for 3.5%fee). Something like Friday's sale, may want to wait a while before contacting him if nothing end of the week, send him a PM.

2022-09-25 22:04:22 +0000 UTCi’ve never actually been able to find my tracking number when i order from rudy / confirmation that it actually went through. can anyone help me know where that would be?

2022-09-25 02:58:49 +0000 UTCUgh, I skimmed your email about 40k sets and cancelled my (Collector) set order on Amazon thinking I'd just buy them from Rudy, then I came back and read the whole thing. Oops.
Karl Stroud
2022-09-25 02:06:42 +0000 UTCI think I’m in the minority of not wanting to pull MTG, so I am open to any trades for a Rudy Claus card!
Drew
2022-09-25 01:57:31 +0000 UTCI started a discord for trading stuff and added a section for box openings
Moshe Baum
2022-09-25 01:45:43 +0000 UTCYou start it and I’m sure many will join and share.

2022-09-25 01:37:03 +0000 UTCWhen Rudy does sales, he states how to pay in the sales post. Sometimes you post a comment in that Sales post stating how much you want of that product, other times, like last night, you just go ahead and send him the money. So make sure you read the Sales post carefully. He provides updates as the sale progresses. With how fast things sold out last night, there wasn't time for him to do the usual updates. Welcome aboard, it can be a wild ride.

2022-09-24 23:21:07 +0000 UTCNot a bad idea. Maybe you should create one :)
Steve Schornack
2022-09-24 22:27:53 +0000 UTCI wish we had a FB group to show video openings and to swap stuff.
2022-09-24 22:24:48 +0000 UTCI misunderstood then. Lame that I missed out for that as a newbie. What I get for being a Timmy
2022-09-24 21:23:51 +0000 UTCsent him a message, no, sent him money via paypal then maybe? you dont need to send him messages unless paying with crypto or mil/vet
Travis Shaw
2022-09-24 21:21:14 +0000 UTCThat's what I think so. Waiting 15 hours for his response, since he didn't confirmed getting crypto from me :-(
Maciej Graszek
2022-09-24 21:15:41 +0000 UTCHe's likely buried in messages...
James Follin Jr
2022-09-24 21:09:10 +0000 UTCIs Rudy responding to messages right now? My BCH are crying in his wallet and I need a hug.
Maciej Graszek
2022-09-24 20:50:58 +0000 UTCHomelands/fallen empires are not completely worthless. Last time I looked, I think homelands and fallen empires were selling for about $15 a pack. If he included say 10 packs, that starts to add up a little. But you'd have to hope you had killer layers 1 and/or 2... And I highly suspect that there is a lot of good stuff that Rudy hasn't mentioned, which may be why he keeps pushing to record and post your openings. Will be fun times I hope. Oh, and I'm one of those who went for four boxes. Been scrounging/saving up since around May/June and had to skip a bunch of sales to save up for this. Part of my reasoning for going for four boxes was protection in case a box or two would end up being duds... With opening four, the odds should be pretty good that I get at least a couple items that are pretty good, but we will see. Part of me wants to spread out the openings, but another part wants me to open them all at once...
James Follin Jr
2022-09-24 20:49:03 +0000 UTCI figure someone is gonna end up making a post on the discussion tab for this. I mostly want the MTG stuff so I'll probably be in there wheeling and dealing unless if I get some art that I think looks cool.
2022-09-24 20:46:24 +0000 UTCEXACTLY! Just proves he didn't give enough warning!!!!! I'm kidding! Plus veteran patrons gave advice multiple times about being logged into Patreon and have Paypal ready to go and start refreshing Patreon right before 9, because the sales normally post at 9 sharp. That advice was offered multiple times... That's my standard for handling Rudy's sales, and I have yet to miss something that I was interested in. The time stamp on my email last night was 9:00. We're probably stupid for giving the advice, because it can make it harder for us to get future popular sales, but we still gave the advice. Plus numerous people asked Rudy in the comments to limit the sale to 1-2 boxes, because they were afraid they would sell out fast. When Rudy said he was going to stick with a 4 box max, that should have set alarm bells off. Ultimately it comes down to priorities. Those who were able to give it top priority were able to get the kits. Those who did not, for whatever reason, may have to look on the secondary market. I had some unexpected bills come up right before the Gem Keeper sale, so had to skip the original sale, so I went to the secondary market for two of those cards. Life happens and it is what it is.

2022-09-24 20:35:10 +0000 UTChonestly, even homelands and fallen empires would be fun...worthless...but fun!
Travis Shaw
2022-09-24 20:21:32 +0000 UTCYeah, I think there's going to be a lot of wheeling & dealing once boxes start making it to patrons... Magic and Metazoo I will likely mostly keep, although I already have multiples of most of the Metazoo promos. Beyond that, we'll see...
James Follin Jr
2022-09-24 20:19:12 +0000 UTCCheck the time stamp on your PayPal transaction and refer to Rudy’s previous post
MetaTimmy
2022-09-24 20:12:44 +0000 UTCSeriously tho, I hope people find some crazy goodies. People are speculating on what mtg packs may be included. I’d love to see people get revised packs or something of that equivalent.
2022-09-24 19:58:55 +0000 UTCSo if I sent a message on Patreon, I’m good? I’m new here as a Patron…
2022-09-24 19:06:20 +0000 UTCactually would have been neat if some random boxes included something from the hopes and dreams box (appropriately marked)...
Travis Shaw
2022-09-24 18:48:38 +0000 UTCPlot twist; Rudy slips a black lotus in one of the boxes.
2022-09-24 18:31:56 +0000 UTCWould of loved to buy four boxes but so much other things to buy with this recession.

2022-09-24 17:53:07 +0000 UTCRudy, If you do a follow up video on how this went. Please replace that fake taco with a real one and walk off camera eating your taco into the sunset.
2022-09-24 17:27:39 +0000 UTCYeah man, I’ll let you know what I get from FAB and we can trade if you like
2022-09-24 17:00:00 +0000 UTCI’m an old school mtg player and that is really the only CCG I play. If anyone would like to chat about trading my metazoo or FAB stuff for your MtG stuff please let me know! Cheers.
2022-09-24 16:46:32 +0000 UTCI seriousness though, it is such a fun design, everything is either unique, or has some fun redemption system behind it. I'm excited to open it, 2 weeks sounds totally reasonable. 6 minutes tho, wow, great job making a product that the people are hyped for.

2022-09-24 16:13:57 +0000 UTC15 hours and still no delivery... Jeez
Dustin Hammersmith
2022-09-24 16:09:56 +0000 UTCHe only posted a 24 day, 10 day, 8 day, 7 day, 6 day, 5 day, 4 day, 3 day, 2 day, 1 day warning and 5 hours of video content over 7 days to warn people. He should have personally drove to every person's house with free taco bell and ordered it for them using his own money. Fair is fair.
2022-09-24 16:08:03 +0000 UTCRudy literally told us all multiple times...made multiple posts and videos. He warned us all to be ready and set an alarm. Literally could not do more to make the point. This sold out in 6mins after launch. Start a timer for 6 mins and sit in a dark corner and just do nothing. And in that time realized how much time that really is. Rudy thanks for everything buddy, your videos make life easier and more enjoyable. I will surely enjoy my one kit and proudly display it in my collection. I would have gotten 3 more had I not picked up a Metazoo lotto card earlier in the week; the meteorite UFO pin and numbered UFO card was just too cool not to have 😂.
