Somehow I ended up with a phasing Vision FS. I'm really not sure how it happened, but I have one. I can't really believe it.
I wanted a Vision statue, and decided to wait for the phasing varient when I first heard about it. I work 12-8 pm EST, so I can't see new pre-orders until the night they go up on the web site, and I can't place my order until the next day. When the phasing Vision went up for order, I wasn't even aware that it was available until 9:30 that evening, when I get home. The regular Vision had sold out already - I thought I had missed out on both versions.
I called first thing the next day, hopeful, but I was told that they had sold out quickly the day before. But if I wanted, they could put me on a waiting list in case anyone cancels. I said sure, but I wasn't in any way optimistic. I assumed I missed out completely.
I must have been the first damn one on that list, because my phasing Vision just arrived this afternoon!!! I was so shocked that I actually yelped. Nearly fell over too.
Wooooo Hooo! Thank you Randy and Rocky and Heather and crew! Fantastic statue, and only my fourth full size! I am so haaapppyyy!!!! :buttrock: I don't know exactly how I manged to get one, but I did!
I still think there needs to be found a happy medium where there aren't so many statues that the market is flooded, but also not to few that the profiteers go nuts; my opinion really hasn't changed there. And I think there should have been more of this one in particular. But I have me a statue, and it's a beauty. Sweet.
