Phil told me 107 and Robb has stated numerous times around the net that
this is a VERY limited kit. So: At this moment, Phil doesn't know if more might
be made in the future, I'm assuming the kits were split btwn Tom/Paul/Terry.

At Chiller, dealer- wise Phil sold 11 or 12 from the spot I provided on my table ( I can not SWEAR by this as our mutual associate Mr Apgar kept interrupting us JUST when we were making some headway in settling up on Sunday afternoon.
). But I digress. It's what I do. I'm a digressor. Born and raised. Passive/digressive. Anyhoo, my friend Alan Farrielo (sp?) got two, Danny Fay got two and Terry Webb got two. I consider them to be: 1. Friends 2. Dealers (who just HAPPEN to be friends) and 3. Collectors who wanted a pair of kits JUST in case more did NOT materialize. These kits were provided to me by Phil, because he considered ALL of them to be mutual friends as well, plus he is just that kind of guy. IIRC I took 16 with me on consignment to be sold at $125 ea plus shipping, with Phil and I sharing a fairly equal share above cost for providing the table space, plus doing some market research (i.e. Phil suggested throwing a few up on eBay with a VERY limited auction length just to see what one MIGHT go for.) I think I set the auction length to be 3 days and it sold in THREE HOURS!!! Ok, so at this point going with a dozen kits sold from the table, six more (three pairs going to three buddies) and 16 more on consignment leaving Chiller with me, I personally can account for the whereabouts of 34 "Metallic Fuscia" units with the last kit being the "infamous" eBay sale of roughly $350, minus fees, and the $35 donation to St Judes Children's Research Hospital (the ONLY reason I KEEP bringing it up is it KEEPS being LEFT OUT of the mix in other venues; and for once, NOT THE FORUMS. Soooo... took some preorders for more fuscia kits, sent a Postal Money Order to Phil to pay for same, worked a few more trades, wheeled, and or dealed and THE last of 16 additional fuscia kits HANDLED PERSONALLY BY ME will get dropped at the PO tomorrow morning on my way to work (as if THIS wasn't work, SHEESH!!!
)
