Did you buy yours around Jan 21 or so? That was when I just missed the last one in inventory.

If so, you bastard!

Seriously, they'd told me it would take about 15 days to get one from Japan, and they beat that by several days, even when they screwed up my credit card number and had to wait a couple of days for me to get back into town to get the situation straightened out.

 

January 16, posted on my card January 20. Sorry, big guy.....I didn't know you were wanting one.

I was talking with 2003z and he told me he thought Kevin had one left. Kevin confirmed there was one in stock, so I bought it. Had it shipped directly to ZPresence.

 

Oh, I wasn't in a huge rush, it was just funny I was talking to the guy by email the night before, and didn't get around to calling until the following afternoon when it was already gone I can't remember exactly the day I called, but looking from the emails, it was around the 20th/21st.

I was surprised they got one from Japan that quick. They told me that they were built as ordered, so there wasn't inventory in Japan. If they really had to make it and ship it, that was pretty good turn around.

 

What makes it easier for them, is they have offices in Japan so he told me they will actually drive over, pick it up, and then take it to be air shipped. That can make a huge difference in build to ship time.
