How exciting!

Have you got yourself set up for that unboxing video, Mark?

Mike, that's something I still need to do, and probably need to do a practice run.

The local agent for USPS is NZ Post. They say they may take "up to five working days" to process the Customs paperwork.

That's longer than the trip from Arizona to NZ.

Time to update your signature, Mark. Congrats on the win.
Being a kiwi is a special minority, being a pentaxian kiwi is even more specialer. Then winning the Kii makes you the most specialist of all.

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I'll have to start working on a new signature banner!

What !?

You mean that Adam is not presenting the K-1 II to you in person ?

But, I know what you feel ... when I won the 77, I had to wait quite a bit ... Adam sent it rapidly, but the trip time was sloooow ... so courage.

No. It's a bit of a trip!

But, he is, of course, very welcome to pop over any time.

MarkJerling · 09-10-2018, 03:20 PM

Well, guess what has turned up, moments ago?

I better get working on that unboxing video.....
