Are you sure you have the metal edition in stock? It's discontinued, and I've ordered "metal editions" twice and received the cheaper plastic version.

I bought one a year ago, and it was metal. But it did not have the picture of the plastic one back then.

I was planning on grabbing one of these too but figured I'd wait till black friday in case of a deal and then suddenly they went on back order/1-2 mo delivery and the price shot up. I guess I should have got it before, now I'll just have to wait. Most places seem to suddenly also be out of stock of this, is this just really popular or is it being discontinued?

sorry i am no help! i didn't realize the product had a plastic instead of metal blade, which i needed--so, i gave it away.

Well I managed to get this one changed to the correct product name (using the 'update product info' link). The silver version still hasn't updated yet, but if they fixed this one, I'd assume that one will be fixed soon also.

At the current time we do have the Mark Jenkins edition in stock. Just place your order and then e-mail us immediately after and let us know you want the Mark Jenkins edition.

I received the Olympus version. I would venture to guess that this is the only version being manufactured at this point. It's a pretty popular piece of gear.

That is a great question! I've ordered this item 5 times from third party vendors and received the OLDER version all 5 times! I've contacted Amazon a few times and informed them of the incorrect listing. No one seems to care to fix the problem at Amazon. Good luck!

Yes, I would recommend contacting the seller and seeing if they had them in stock. I ordered one from a supplier who happened to have 10 in stock. But it was the silver model. Always check before you order, as these definitely don't ship right away

Mine is the black plastic version. Sorry, I've not seen the other versions.

Looks like it's available again (5 machines left at this writing). You can always order it at KNKUSA.com, and actually it is an updated version that I wish I had known was coming (it has 3 "treads" instead of 2).

I am wondering if now, as of Sep 2012, if it is no longer available. Everywhere shows out of stock.

Thank you for your e-mail. Can you provide a link to the Amazon advertisement where you see the 'metal grill' comment? The remake of this item does not have a metal grill. The manufacturer Diamond Select Toys was prohibited from including a metal grill on the remake (for some reason that they cannot or are unwilling to share). We have provided Amazon with an updated product description for all EE Exclusive items containing the Communicator, so they should not have that description at all, unless it is for a third party retailer selling inventory based on the original production run. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Please feel free to contact us at any time with any issues as they arise. Thank you for your interest in Entertainment Earth.

The blue edition was a "limited edition". They probably stopped making it and therefore it is discontinued. The regular version is still available and works the same. By the way, they work great!

They cancelled my order today. I bought mine for 99.99, and it's up for sale for $129 now. So it's available but just not at the price they quoted me weeks ago??!?!? What the hell? Thanks Amazon for making my Xmas shopping more complicated!
