Just asked Vintage King about the Particle 2 & this is what I was told:
[Curt] is, very slowly, working through back orders. The earliest you could expect one if you purchased today would be Late April or Early May. With that said, getting on our preorder list is the quickest way to get a Particle in your hands.
I've been waiting on my Tensor order to be fulfilled since November. I'm so fucked off with this. I hate it when builders launch new products, when they can't even meet demand on pre-existing products. New orders should not leapfrog customers who have been waiting 3 months on prior orders.
I'll just wait until May for the Memorial sale. Hopefully wait times will be town to 4-6 weeks by then, and not their current time of 7-12 weeks.
