If you don't mind a version 1 FX8, they announced a few days ago they have a few last ones in stock remaining at a close out price. Otherwise, you're probably in for a lengthy wait for version 2.
An by "lengthy", I mean it might be next year before version II is available. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

Yeah, you just had bad luck with your timing. You put yourself on the waitlist shortly before they discontinued the version 1 FX8. They automatically switched you to the version 2 waitlist, but because version 2 isn't available yet, you're now in for a much longer wait.
I'm not aware of any bugs in version 1 and the new features in version 2 are rather modest, so it might be worth considering buying one of those version 1 models, especially since you'll save some money. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

I just checked the Fractal website. It appears that the Mark II version will start shipping sometime in the last quarter of this year. I would hope that by that time I would be close to the top of the waitlist but who knows. It looks like the discontinued version is only $150 less than the Mark II so I don't think I will go for that especially since there are no returns for the discontinued version. Maybe if it was $500 less I would go for it. http://shop.fractalaudio.com/FX8_Multi_Eff...lboard_s/61.htm Now I am tossing around the idea of maybe trying to find a used Axe FX at Reverb.com or Ebay.

Buying a used AxeFX can be a good idea. I'll warn you though, people who sell one on ebay/reverb often charge *more* than Fractal Audio does for a new one because....you guessed it...there's no waiting list .
