Fractal Fanatic
First off, Im really pleased Fractal have moved forward with the AFX2. After owning a Standard for 3 years now im very exited by Fractals products. Im also sure that Fractal could sell every AFX2 it is currently makin in the US with no problems at all.
Thing is, those of us in the EU (and accross the world as far as I know) are being starved. There is a list with G66 - and no opportunity to "que jump" like in the states and no support if we cave and order direct (though thats not possible without cheating anyway, but I know some who have).
Cliff could sell all his AFX2s over here just as easily as in the US. There is a Strong feeling we are being treated as second class customers over here, and Fractal is at risk of seriously loosing customers - both existing and future.
Im not saying send AFX2s her as a preference - just that we get our share.
G66 had one Very small shipment - no more than a few demo pieces - back in Jul - and have just (last couple of days) sent a further shipment. This shipment is less tha G66 expected. It is just about enough to satisfy customers who orderd ULTRAS BACK NI 2010. Theres not enough to cover any 2011 orders for Gen 1 units - let alone anyone who actually ordered an AFX2.
Seeing posts in other threads where cliff has stated he has dispatched hundereds of units (the one about the power up bug - he uses these efigures to show its an isolated issues with a few units), just makes things worse. Hes shipped hundereds and the EU has had a handfull to date?
Rant over - and as I started by saying, I do appreciate the work Cliff has done to develope this product and I appreciate the demand for the units - just asking for the correct share for us lower class citizens over the pond. Its not as if its the first time - happened with the MFCs and Atomic FRFRs too. Just saying.
O - I can see my box in the corner - I going to crawl back in it now.
