Looks like I might actually be getting one from my AD after all
They rung me to say they had the BB58 Blue I enquired about months ago and while we were chatting the manager casually mentioned that when they receive their allocation one should have my name on it. I was shocked as before the BB58 I had only bought an Omega SMP off the same AD and am nowhere near being a big spender in the scheme of things.
He did say there was no 100% guarantee but he was confident I'd get it. Now I just have to wait and see if he actually comes through.
