Resurrecting this thread because Frantz apparently now has some on sale! If you have not had a chance to play with this color, it is gorgeous!

Me three... I only had five rods or so the first time around and fell in love with it. Now that there's more, I couldn't help myself - I had to order a healthy little stash of it. I wonder if this is the original batch or if it's been recreated?

And of course, I can't buy just one color, because I am paying shipping after all, might as well get some other stuff too.

Same here Kathy.
I ordered a whole truck load of other things because I wanted the Mermaid Unique, and hey - if you have to pay for shipping in any way.

So today I got an email from Frantz that they ran out of Mermaid Unique.
WTH? That was the only reason that I placed the order in the first place.
Now I'm a bit pi$$ed off.

I'm glad you said that, Judith. I had an order started...because of the Mermaid Unique. I closed the window. I don't "need" anything else, really.

Chrissi - same here ... I didn't really need anything else.

Normally Frantz is pretty good with their inventory online.
I was quite surprised to get their email.
I think that's the first time that happened to me.
And I'm even more surprised that they still have it showing "in stock".

It’s good that Frantz called. It’s worse to get a box and find that the one thing you really wanted was out of stock, so they just shipped the rest of the order. I’m always glad when a vendor calls and asks if I want to substitute something or if I still want the rest of the order.

Hmm, I got my emailed sales invoice this morning, and it shows that the Mermaid was fulfilled. Hope that's right! I swear I did not buy it all.

Kathy, you ordered the Mermaid Unique-1 and presumably got it fulfilled? When did you place the order, if you don't mind saying.

I too got the "we're sold out" email and wouldn't have ordered the other items if not for the Mermaid Unique, so am peeved as well.

Yes, I ordered Mermaid Unique -1. I got my order confirmation about 15 minutes after Crystalflipz posted; I ordered right away. I remember her post was only about 2 or 3 down from the top of "new posts" so I saw it pretty quickly.

Thanks for confirming. So that puts your order at about 9:30 PM ET on 6/3. I ordered at 5:06 PM ET on 6/3 (or it might have been 8:06 ET depending on whether the time stamp came from Frantz's end, but either way, still before your order was placed). Now I'm even more peeved with them!

Well, I don't have it yet, so who knows! Glass on the invoice is different from glass in hand. I suspect I may get a revised invoice any time now, if nobody else has been able to get it.

I got burned too - posted in the bathroom, because I'm more mad at myself for getting suckered into the whole thing and not restraining myself. I ordered $150 of stuff, and then don't end up with the mermaid!

These beads were made half and half Atlantis and Mermaid Unique. The Atlantis is slightly Opalescent, the Mermaid Unique is more opaque and slightly streakier.
