Ha! You may read flowery reports that Amazon.com is working with collectors to make The Vintage Collection Slave I dilemma a little easier to swallow, but how long will it take for them to remedy the situation is what you should really be asking. We were told by our contact that the Slave I will likely disappear off of Amazon.com (something we even assumed would happen and were correct about) due to the high volume of returns and complaints. If yours hasn't shipped yet, it looks like there will be a delay until Amazon.com remedies this complete and utter disaster
