    Nor can I. I'm getting the one of the prototype 125's free of charge before they are available to the public.

    A month early after pushing it back 2 is still late.

    I got my first coolers right on time with the original email when I purchased it. I ordered this one AFTER receiving those two. When I purchased it I was told to expect it in mid Jan.

    As we speak, I'm in my 8th week of waiting on a Yeti 210.

    But did they tell you you would have it in 8 weeks and deliver in 18? It's the being told one thing then reality being another.

    Actually when I put it in my cart (on Yetis site) it said 3-5 days. However after checking out it said "on back order". It did offer a option to cancel, however I chose not to as I want the cooler. My point is simple, $hit happens. I haven't complained or bashed Yeti one bit for the 2 month delay. Why? They have a product that I want and I don't mind waiting on it. Just like I didn't mind waiting on my RTIC coolers. I have them now and I'm happy with them. In a few days or possibly weeks I will have the new Yeti 210 and will be glad that I didn't cancel.

    One has nothing to do with the other. I had no idea I was getting the cooler until about 2 weeks ago. Many months after I had already pitched the coolers here and on a couple of other forums. Heck they don't even make a 125 yet. I honestly feel that RTIC is the best deal that you can get on a rotomolded right now. That's why I push them.

    @SGH I just imagine you have a warehouse full of coolers... What the heck do you do with them all ? Lol I have one 65, and I really really really want a 20, but why do you need so many ?

    I honestly do not. I have a Pelican 95, a Yeti 50, a Engel bait box, 2 Orcas 145 and 3 RTIC's. I'm waiting on one more RTIC 65 and a Yeti 210. And that's all I have my friend. The Orcas and the Engel live on the boat, they never leave it. The Yeti 50 lives in the Avalance for everyday use. The big Pelican gets used to transport meat to the VFW or lodge. All of the RTIC's, I bought them simply due to the low price.

    I'm actually helping a friend slaughter 4 hogs this Friday. The 210 was going to be used in transporting some of the meat. That will be its use in the future though.

    He was probably pretty grumpy and hungry before that.  Probably cooked a woolly mammoth with the first fire and ate the whole thing.

    First he chased that mammoth off a cliff into the ocean. Took him so long to get it out the ocean... he discovered brining. Best mammoth meal ever.
