I've been following all posts on these products for quite a while and it now seems as those posts were all misleading. The long wait to have everything ready for group buy was supposedly going to reduce the impact of the shipping prices. The products were supposedly going to be ready by mid November. Asking customers to endow you with this much cash and then wait 7-8 months is totally unreasonable. To adopt an attitude of take it or leave it with a community that has been throwing their support behind you is also unreasonable. If everyone picks option 2 and chose not to buy because of the attitude Russel is showing, the whole community loses. Guys your products are great and everyone wants them but don't think that everyone is gonna be blinded by that desire. A situation like this is what keeps the "Knockoff market" alive.
