The levels of seethe if people can't get hold of one will set new records. I think the way they've been talking about it there'll be an order period for people to well, order. Then they'll know how many to run off and then do a few hundred extra to sell in the shop. Going to be Christmas time they're ready wasn't it, so wonder if they're taking money up front for the order six months before you get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
