Update #11: Geek A Week 2.0 and new Season one sets available at Thinkgeek!
Just a little heads up that if you wanted to get additional sets of Geek A Week 2.0 (like, say, one unopened pack) or complete your Season 1 sets, they are now available at ThinkGeek:
http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/collectibles/e752/?srp=1
ThinkGeek has both the season 2 set (with Timmy The Monkey) and two new 18 card sets (with bonus geeks Jamie Hyneman and Freddie Wong) that allows you to complete the original 52 card deck. Unfortunately, it looks as though they are sold out of Set 1 Cards 1-8. However, I have a few of those available if you are a completist and would like to have the whole set. You can e-mail me at monsterbymail at gmail for those details.
Now, go forth and collect!
Update #10: They are on the way!

Update #9: Signed, (almost) Sealed and Delivered
The printer came by this morning to download the excel files with all your addresses. They will be fulfilling the sets from their location, saving me the trouble of having to mail these out myself. I also allowed me to sign the sleeves for all the cards before they get kitted up. The die for the sleeves should be done next week. Once that is done, the printer will start boxing the Geek A Week sets up and they should start being delievered the following week.
This is all very exciting! We are almost ready to ship, people! If you haven't gotten me your address yet, no worries. I will send those out after the major shipment goes out.
We are getting closer!
Update #8: I need your addresses!

Okay, just to make sure that I have EVERY CARD THAT I CAN GET...
I already had Set One and Set Two from Thinkgeek. I backed this project and got 2.0 plus the bonus card and the Len Peralta card.
What am I missing? TELL ME WHAT TO BUY! :D
BUY EVERYTHING! BUY THEM ALL AGAIN!
Actually, if you wanted to complete your Season 1 set, go to ThinkGeek and purchase sets 3 and 4. Those will complete all the geeks I did for the original Geek A Week project. :)
