Bronze Ordered

Ordered Bronze. I know this isn't the Bronze forum (it is now!) but saw the subject being discussed was Jehrets2's Bronze. I also then ordered Blue and Green Obsessions because after reading EVERYTHING I can find I started doubting that I should even try starting out with Bronze. Also ordered a Training Aid. I'm not hurting for the money, just impatient and eager to get ahold of one.

I started with and opened the bronze first (it was a gift) so it's not impossible. Wouldn't have wanted to start with the silver.

How long did it take to open the Bronze?

Hi Hobbit

For me, with Blue (9.0hrs) and Green (4.5hrs) under my belt first, Bronze (with the trainer) took about 32.5 hrs ... half of that was spent staring at my map and trying to figure out the "clue".

I'm sure without BU and GR open and available for study, I would have taken considerably more time :cry:

Cheers

I'm beginning to hope the obsessions get here before the extreme -- all at the same time would be cool, too, though.

I opened the Bronze in 11 hours, after Blue Extreme, and Green and Black Obsession.

I agree though, without the others, particularly the Blue, seeing the internals and understanding how Revos work was very useful, it could have taken much longer.

Doing the bronze first was 40+ hours. ( not counting dreams and staring at the map while at work or stuck in traffic)

Emailed Chris, as seen in the earlier form of this topic. He said it was shipping next day, but its been three since then :( I understand a team member is ill and that Revo HQ is very busy, but I'm starting to really get anxious, even for it just to ship.

I suggest patience. For those of us in the USA the shipping from the UK can be a slow and painful process. A reasonable expectation may be 2-3 weeks as it can get stuck in customs for many days. It may appear at your door before the tracking updates happen. If you happen to be in Seattle you're welcome to get started on mine until yours shows up. Maybe I can start rent-a-Revo. When you absolutely need to have it. Specially if you are trying to get the series code and competition.

don't think you would want to go to all that hassle to ship a revo just so I could get started a little earlier ;) anyways, I don't have to be worrying about the competition too much as I am under the age limit :oops: a few weeks isn't too bad, anyways I should be worrying about school more :lol:
