Hi,

  This request was made prior to the preorder list being offered so as such it never made the list. You will pay taxes regardless of where the card is produced. if you wish to discuss this further then talk to me directly, i will not respond to public flaming

Errm, you _do_ know that kipper and Majsta are basically working overtime _and_ for free to keep the price as low as 150€? What you demand is for them to ruin their health and their lives just so you can spare a few Euros. And you dare to accuse kipper of betraying you, WTF?!

Kipper,
 
  You haven't answer my emails for months, if you want or not discuss in public is up to you, but since you haven't answer before in the past, how can you guaranty you will answer now?
 
  About customs house fee's, if you had listen me on Amibay and other people saying you could mass produce the card in Europe with a low cost, maybe we aren't have this discussion.
 
  About flaming what do you expect since you change the rules whenever you want? Put in my situation. probably as a buyer you would like the seller make that to you.
 
  Plus I'm not asking you to kill your self making boards and not having personal life, but keep in mind you and the rest associated to the project don't know how to run publicity / project / a product.

I dare saying that because I honour my deals, if you are not mature to honour your deals is up to you.
Like I said to Kipper I'm not asking to him or Majsta kill them selfs making boards, but maintain their word and honour the previous list of queue to get a card.

Also I offer help to Majsta to mass produce the card on Portugal, an European country, in order to decrease cost and waiting list, but they refuse.

And Kipper hand made cards in Canada to send over Europe isn't the best way to decrease time and costs.

Plus I never wanted the original schematics, only "Gerber" files, after all the PCB manufactures only want that and I can't do anything with that.

I can't understand why you and Majsta didn't accept outside help, since both have more than 600 people waiting for the card.

The total price of the board went up because of a jump in price for the FPGA, am I right?

When that is said I think a lot of frustration could have been avoided if killer2k changed his email policy. This is a pattern seen long before the vampire hit the scene. I have personally tried to order from his page via email, and never gotten any response. Recommended killer2k for some friend s that needed some bits and pieces and they never got any reply. And that is basically why I haven't jumped this vampire train yet.

There has been many people popping up in forums wanting to get in touch but not being able to.

Having this in mind I have a hard time introducing the vampire to ex amigans. "cool... Where can I get it?" You can't, but you can send an email to this guy and never get a response.

Ps. I don't have any beef with k2k. :)

Is this the CORRECT place to "show interest"?

edit - One can ONLY express interest in the Vampire II for the A600!!

How come only one choice is available??

Because it's the only one that you might be able to buy at the moment of course.

It may be cheaper to go to Cyclone V, leaving Cyclone III.
  Anyway it may be cheaper to manufacture in Europe.
  FPGAs are nothing cheap. :-)
  250 euros for de Vampire V2 A600 is very expensive.
 
  The Cyclone V (77 logical elements) cost 80 euros for one unit:
