    When Alien and I visited GMH last month, they told us about the one/off build plate poster for purchasers. They will also have brochures soon, I'll get one for you Byron when they arrive.

    I have a limited number of promo posters and I wont be selling them for $50, I was thinking of doing another mySandman tshirt run and doing something with the posters together.

    Holden marketing are already talking about a Series II for the next year, as yet nothing confirmed.

    I may be interested in the shirt/poster combo. As for the Series II I think we all gathered that this would happen. Although how many Series I buyers will be doing their best to get into a series II without losing too much cash?

    That's good to know. I hope that Holden is a little more realistic then what James sells his range for. His price on ebay is normally around $100.00

    One thing: I hope all these build plates are numbered.

    Been giving this a lot of thought and as I ordered a VF Sandman with the intention of it being the 'last' one made , I now have a decision to make and I need some help from you guys in the know. Seeing as 'we all gathered' that a Series II would happen 'except dumb old me' my question is , should I bite the bullet and cancel the Series I and wait for the Series II in 2016 or even the Series III in 2017 ?

    I agree it is a tough call. Using the VS SS as an example again, you'd have been spewing if you paid top dollar for the new and limited edition VS SS ute, only to find Holden make another 300 a year later $2000 cheaper and with the new 179kW roller cam, sequential injected engine. However other times like an LX SS, if you'd jumped in and grabbed one early in LX you'd get the good car, if you'd waited past the initial build and ordered one you'd have got the dog ADR27A engine. In both those cases you'd probably have known further builds were on the horizon, however with the VF Sandman you don't have that certainty although common sense tells Holden that if the early ones sell easily to make another lot. I'd be happy with what you got - if they do make a second lot then that is life. At least you wanted one and got one.

    Fair call
