That's some serious patience. Just exactly what are you expecting, and what's the status over at corporate?
Still waiting for my 360/12C63. Ben says the next run is in June. I'm second in line at my dealer, so I'm hopeful.

That's slightly longer than 2 years, 9 months. I think you're in the running for the Patience Award. Beats my record, at any rate. Hang in there, Kris.

Well, after finally getting the itch scratched late last year on a pair of 660AFG's (6 and 12), I now find myself starting to need some therapy again... this time it's a 360/12C63. A bunch of stores got shipments 2 weeks ago, and naturally, my dealer wasn't one of them. I'm hoping that there's another batch on the way - anyone else waiting for one?

The symptoms are starting again...!

Hey Bob,

I'm with you on this.

I'm #2 at Pick of the Ricks but they didn't get any in that last shipment. I'm hoping there's more coming soon. I'm at 3 years + but keeping a positive attitude!

True, very true. But the memory of the long wait is indelibly etched in my memory. So I feel like I have some cred as a former patient in this clinic. :mrgreen:

Does that mean you'll lend yours to Bob while he waits? :mrgreen:

Hmmmmmm, I hadn't thought of that. Actually it really means that I'm a closet Red Green fan.

Maybe it is an idea to post order dates here. Mine was ordered -I'm using logical date order here (year-month-day)- :

2006-06-06 4003 BBR (ordered by dealer in 2005-10-28)

Please put your date above it if your wait time is longer now, and below if it is shorter.

Bert, don't mean to alarm you, but I seem to remember a Rick dealer telling me that no more BBR 4003's would be shipping. I asked him because I thought it'd be cool to snag one with full-width inlays.

I'll try emailing RIC again about this then. (I'm not in the mood for long distance calls in foreign languages in different timezones.)

[edit] and while using the webform again some stupid error:

CDO.Message.1 error '80040213'

The transport failed to connect to the server.

Sounds like the RIC site is down. This seems to happen from time to time. I wouldn't worry about it.

Same here. I'm #2 on NCM's list, and they haven't received any either. I also just passed the three year mark.
