VPC MongoosT-50 Throttle Never in Stock? Anyone else get the email saying otherwise?

[Vangeroth]

So I was checking my email just now and I saw that I got a heads up from Virpil about the VPC MongoosT-50 Throttle being back in stock. Then when I got to get one the site says that are out again. This wasn't a email from a week ago, this was from yesterday (Jan 6th) at 11:10pm. So less then a hour before Midnight for me (in MST). So I gotta wonder if this email notification was a hiccup in their system or the throttles actually lasted less then 24hrs.

Has anyone who bought one of these actually ever gotten one? I dunno but find it hard to believe that considering they are never in stock that this company is actually selling this product and just not doing the whole smoke and mirrors thing.

I've seen very few YouTubers who claim they got sent one to review (free) but other then these free items I've almost never seen anyone else showing one off.

Virpil claims that are a small company (or so it's what I've been reading) but a throttle that costs more then the Warthog which is sold on Amazon more easily and more frequently going out of stock in less then a day? That just seems...odd to me.

All around this just seems really odd to me. Did anyone actually see this available between the time stamp and now? Were any of you able to actually buy one?

When I was ready to grab a Virpil stick, I emailed to ask about stock and they responded quickly telling me the day it would be restocked. I was told it would be in stock that Friday, so I checked around 1130pm PST Thursday , as they are in Belarus, and it just went in stock so I ordered immediately. When I woke up in the morning it was already out of stock. I would recommend doing the same.

I haven't touched their throttle, but assuming it retains the quality of their sticks and gimbals I'm sure it will be heaven in your hand!
