At least be more discreet, you're completely insensitive to the fact there's a lot of people who are still desperately looking for one, and here you are openly complaining that you never got two.

Put another way: it's like being in Somalia and complaining you didn't get your four course meal.

I read somewhere they were going to be pricing her about $100 more than the regular. When asked why, the official comment was . . . . "It will really p!ss VS off"

At least by doing a lottery system, we're leveling the playing field and making this as accessible to our collectors as possible. Everyone that wants in gets a chance. I think that's a MUCH better and fairer option than one where people get shafted because they were the last to get the newsletter or happen to be in the wrong time zone.


Sounds very fair.
But I guess there are alot of "flippers" that won´t agree......
