Oooohhhh look at the yanks getting all high and mighty over the British. Some of your local dialects make ours look tame. We use british made toothbrushes as well, if it was made in America it would fall apart after a week. :D

Will wait and see what price they come in at Wharf, one thing to be sure of is that it wont be cheap.

My LFS has a distributer that has recently added T. Pustulatus to the list, my price is $200.. I'm waiting to see if they can actually get one.

I'm located in the Detroit, MI area. I have no idea what the name of the importer is, but my LFS says the importer has family in Africa and they import directly. Says he has had nothing but good experience with them and he's confident that if they say Pustulatus, it will be a Pustulatus, not a Fahaka.
