Yup.

Surprisingly, they have been up for a while. Not selling that quickly.

Whatever, I love em and will get any colorway I can.

I think some people are passing as the colourway is so similar to the first.
Black eyes in the second one, more silver in the first, but kinda similar.

I picked one up to either trade down the road or use two as bookends on a shelf.

They do look similar, which almost stopped me from getting #2, but that also means they'll look great together as a set. I just have to face that fact that I can't have enough Pollards.

yep!

Anyone else notice these almost never show up for sale on eBay. Easy to get at retail and none in the after market. Strange.

Exactly, they could play off each other for balance and as a set of twins.

I completely slept on the first one and fortunately S7 offered some up.
I prefer the black eyes on #2 but also really like the silver on #1.

I got mine about a week ago, but I think they were being sent out in several waves over a couple of weeks, so I'm guessing you'll be getting it soon.

I can't believe S7 still has #1 up for sale.
I will have to pass on #2 and hope a gid or something comes out later. Too similiar to #1.

I got my #1 Bro. about 2 weeks ago, but there was no advance shippingnotice. My #2 Bro. came yesterday and it is really nice. Again, no shipping notice fromFlopdoodle- it just showed up.
