Last chance (probably!) to get the Teak faceplate!

I did not even notice the faceplate being different by looking at it.  Are the faceplate and being numbered the only two things that makes it a collector's edition?

The faceplates are different I’ve attached a photo from my own collection. The bottom is a collector edition numbered VCS with the top being the walnut wood grain . I’ve just picked up a collectors edition for my friend, tempted to keep it for myself but I have x2 collectors editions, the onyx model and the walnut edition. I was supposed to be giving my friend the Onxy but my boy has just been upgraded to a collectors edition.

Yes, although the original boxes also had a "certificate of authenticity" and a promo card with a discount for Antstream, so slightly different packaging inside.

Oh I thought from the thread title someone was selling just the face plates :(

 

Oh well,  I don't even know why I want one so much,  in general I dislike wood-grained electronics and I should just be happy with my black onyx  :lol:

@Mockduck How do you know the original box is different from this set of 100?

I don't! I would assume it is the same as the original box, as I think these are just leftovers from that initial shipment and maybe a few unopened and returned boxes. Will be interesting to see if the now-outdated Antstream promo is in there. Unfortunately, it is the only piece of the original box I was unable to preserve, as it fell victim to a spilled child drink. :)

Sorry, I misread your answer. I also think these are leftovers from the original batch (maybe meant as back-up in case someone had a faulty machine and needed a replacement).

By the way: I see the collector's edition box clearly has that stated on the box itself.

Yeah, you figure as a business you probably want to reserve something like 10% for replacements, promo units, that kind of thing, and this is probably the remnants of that.

I still don't like the fact that my Onyx model didn't come with any certificate even though it was a backer.
