    ...as above, popped in an hour ago and placed an order for one. Could only order one, and they could not commit to a delivery date, possibly within the next 2 to 4 weeks - happy to wait :)

    Cheers

    Their systems and sales are apparently indepedent of each other.

    Did you have to pay for them when you place the order?

    Yep. Applies to regular bullion as well - they might be sold out of 10oz bars over the counter, but still able to fulfill phone orders immediately.

    I think retail, online and phone are treated in the system as three separate customers by wholesale. It was mentioned at the Dragon launch that the retail store had to apply for an allocation just like every other distributor, and presumably the other two as well. Makes sense from a business reporting and operational perspective, but not always clear to the consumer who expects to be dealing with the brand as one cohesive, integrated entity.

    @lightsview - yes - paid in advance. Lucky to be here and able to go in store... might send the missus down to try and get another. If you know anyone over here who can head into the store it might pay to do so - here's one on fleabay 130575217046

    Cheers

    Thanks NOA, I just got one as well. Except this will probably go straight on the market. Considering the prices these are selling so far in the secondary market. I have my 1oz Proof so happy with that.

    Thanks Noa. Unfortunately I'm in South Australia! :/ Did they mention how many sets they are left with? Might ask my mate to get one for me.

    I tried to get some info out of them as to how many left etc but the nice lady wasn't able to shed any light on the subject.

    I figure it's worth a shot given I'm here (sorry/condolences to all interstate or o/s) - if it comes off, awesome, if for some reason it doesn't work out (as I've read posts about people's paid orders being stuffed up by the mint) then I'll be disappointed but will get the $399 back and find something else to spend it on.

    Cheers

    This forum cracks me up....

    Remember the days when you would run down to the pub to tell your mates that you cracked a r@@t.

    Well this site is the online equivalent of the pub LOL.

    Thanks for the heads up...

    BG

    PS: I called and they are all gone :(
