Re: Super Shifters out of stock

Slight manufacturing defects WILL occur (they occur in every mass-produced product manufactured anywhere, to some extent), so it's a matter of simplicity in design & choice of manufacturing supply chain. This is the high-risk high-reward issue with IFI's ball shifter, IMO.

More factually, the IFI ball shifters will not ship until just prior to kickoff, just like an out-of-stock super shifter.

Or perhaps the OP doesn't know about IFI's offerings.

Yet given that SuperShifters are part of AndyMark's flagship offerings, I doubt they'll be out of stock for long. It's more likely that one piece of the supershifter is out of stock, and it's somewhat easy to get the smaller pieces

*admittedly, a generalization
