I got it!!! My VV Grand package undeliverable NOTICE! Well that's what tracking says..................waaaaaa.............
Yep, the mailman did me in, too - left the notice even though my son was home all day. I'm off to the post office, hopefully it's back there now or else I'll have to pick it up tomorrow
Mine should be here tmrw too. can't wait. I had no idea Rob had to polish each and every Polished door and mod himself. No wonder we don't see that many of them. Can't say I blame him. They sure are stunning though. Someone told me I can order a raw and polish it myself. I doubt mine would even come close to as nice though. I just assumed they were made the same way the others were. Learn something new every day.
As for the VV Woodvil the Curly Oak one is incredible durable and feels super solid. I am more worried about the quilted maple on the other one. They both are pretty durable but you'd be surprised what my kids can manage to so. the quilted maple door has a few lights marks on it that are from it fallig over on to something or just my standard use. nothing that I am sure can't be easily repaired and actually is so minimal that it is fine now but I just want to keep it in perfect shape as it is just gorgeous. I would hate to mess up such a beautiful piece of work. I do love them though.

Do they have to be signed for?
Mine got to Maryland today. The USPS tracking page said it had to be signed for, but my delivery person just left it in the mailbox. I'm glad he did -- he never comes to the door with packages for me, he just leaves a pick-up notice, so I thought I'd have to go to the PO tomorrow.
My impression so far is just that after using Minis for a couple of years, this sucker feels huge! Not a problem, just a difference. The button has a delicate feel, which I think will be more ergonomic than the button on the Minis.
I'm going designate my Minis for kayak and camping use -- oh, and stealth vaping in bars, of course. The VV is going to be for the house and car only. Yeah, that's what I say now. We'll see.

Woohoo cleared customs which generally means tomorrow I get a notice and pickup Fri
Same as mine a whole 1 minute stay in customs and free to the evil hands of Canada Post.
Knowing my luck I will get "failed delivery" on Friday and it's going to stay in the truck until Monday morning. That's what happened with the VV WV.
All REO's shipped by Robert are signature for delivery. Even if you send one of yours in for a repair. Just be prepared to watch tracking and be home to sign!
I am at the start of the waiting.......I just got my Red/Red VV ordered. I was overjoyed to see some available, as I have missed every other sale night for Reo's. On the bright side, got the kiddo married off this weekend and he is now a married man
I love this thing! The button is so much nicer to press than my mini!Edit: Sorry for the sideways pic! Stupid phone...

At least he didn't FORGE your name...TWICE... cuz he was too lazy to walk to the door! Lol ( two different Reos deliveries)
And he's so dumb, he didn't even spell it correctly!!
Shoot...I missed this one.... Be sure to get a hold of Rob. I'm sure he'll want to know about this.Just got mine in
The good news is Julie got her pink/black and the pink is pretty hot! Would have hated for her first REO to be wrong.
I'm glad you got it though and that it's awesome. 
Yup, they had 4 left, almost got them all but I am really hoping to get into RBA's asap. That and I didn't want to be greedy and take them all.
I do make some nice coils if I say so myself.
34 NiChrome, Double 3mm Wick, 3.11 Ohms at 5.5 volts....OMG

Does anyone know if Rob is around- tried to call him...my Reo VVG came today...was so excited, but it appears to be DOA...nothing fires at all and no voltage at center pin and threads w/ known good batteries that test out fine. I have tried to call. I will try PM next and email.
There could be an easy solution like taking the delrin cover off but I don't want to do anything without talking to him first.
