@lonelyrooster_ I am not trying to scam anyone.. im sorry for going silent I just didnt expect people to be calling up my parents business

I have been having some advisory calls with various users over the past 12h

[okuda @okuda10x]

I'm extremely grateful for what has happened over the past day. In that time we've raised $25,000 in creator fees, and every bit of it is going back into the project.

A few things that are already in motion:

We've been talking with Ace Collectibles and have a partnership in place. They're going to be our card supplier, which is a big deal for us because they're UK based like we are. We've already ordered $20,000 worth of cards to restock the next gacha pool and scale up properly.

i've ordered a new camera so we can shoot high quality photos of the actual slabs in the vault, rather than using images from other sources.

We pushed out a lot over the last 24 hours, including getting the marketplace live. We spent all of last night rebuilding the card metadata so every slab's information and image resolves properly on chain and on the explorer, and we made a series of infrastructure upgrades so the site can cope with the amount of traffic we're now seeing.

The honest bit. It's just me and my brother. Yesterday we were completely overwhelmed by the volume of messages and complaints, and we weren't able to reply to everyone as quickly as we wanted. We're sorry for that. To fix it, we're looking to hire a community manager and someone to help with marketing. If you're interested, or know someone who would be, please reach out.

One request, some people have tracked down my parents business and have been ringing them to ask questions about the project. Please stop, they have nothing to do with this. It's a project myself and my brother are passionate about and want to build, they do not understand how crypto works or how TCGs work. If you have questions, come to me directly or to the Discord and I will answer them

We are determined to make this work. Thank you to everyone who has supported us, pulled a pack, or just given us the benefit of the doubt. We won't let you down ❤️

@LaaLaa_eth yes 😭

we was getting threats and all sorts.. I knew crypto was crazy but this is insane

[okuda @okuda10x]

The truth is we didn't expect everything to take off so fast, we had everything sorted (infra wise) but it takes time to move money from crypto --> to bank --> purchase cards from supplier --> tokenise cards

We have good relationships with suppliers here in the UK so have no issue sourcing cards and have our tokenising and shipping pipeline nailed down.

We are looking to rent out a small office to move our operations to which will help us moving forwards.

We've had a lot of people calling us scammers and ruggers which isnt the case at all, I apologise for the lack of communications over the last 12 hours, we have been figuring out the best way to move forwards as everything moved so fast. The gacha still works, buy backs work, the product never went down.

There's only two of us and we are competing massive companies, we are shipping everything as fast as we can - we had two orders for cards to be delivered and we sent both of those out this morning 😁

We are extremely grateful for this opportunity and looking forwards to seeing what the future holds <3

I will not giveup, we may be the underdogs but @LuxCollectibles will become the hyperliquid of gachas.

We launched on @ponsdotfamily because we will follow in their footsteps. The peoples platform.

[okuda @okuda10x]

I got my brother to record some of the cards in the vault (sorry for the bad camera quality - this is why we didn't have our pictures used on the website.. we have just ordered a professional camera)

[okuda @okuda10x]

wow, thank you for all the kind DMs and support!

There is a massive gap in the market with RWA gacha and we want to fill that gap.

We aren't working with massive capital or any investors but if anyone would like to partner up, please send me a DM :)

I am working on @LuxCollectibles with my brother.

We have opened our discord support server so make sure you join if you have any questions

Restocks mean the gacha pauses. I buy the lot and vault it, publish the new list and tokenise it on chain. That takes days, and I'll always say when we're down and what came back with us.

I know it's not easy to compete in the TCG market without massive investors and upfront capital however I've been in the collectibles space for a long time, have the distro pipeline nailed down and have good rates from suppliers.

This is a passion project for me, something I love, I want to go all in

Thanks for the support <3

Lux Collectibles launched with no investors and no raise. The Genesis vault is $10,000 of my own cards. Here's how I plan to grow it from there. 🧵👇

Bigger vault, bigger packs. Tiers unlock by vault size:

$50K → Holo Rip, $499
$250K → Vintage Vault, $1,999
$1M → Grail Rip, $9,999

Same odds at every tier. Every band is just worth more.

[okuda @okuda10x]

I've spent the last four months building a passion project.

I've been a collector my whole life and I'm at card shows most weekends. I kept thinking the way we buy, sell and open cards hasn't changed in twenty years, and it should.

So I built Lux Collectibles, a Pokémon gacha where every pack is a rwa slab sitting in my vault, I have loaded $2,000 to offer instant buybacks if you don't want what you pull.

I have partnered with @tcgden Exeter to load $10,000 of my cards into the Genesis gacha.

I expect Genesis to sell out fast. When it does, please bear with us while we buy more cards, grade them and tokenise them for the next pools. Restocks may take real time because we will have to tokenise the new stock again.

Looking forward to seeing where this goes 🫶
