Wiardgroup

You might try giving Grant a call, his phone number is on the site,  
it's his preferred way to communicate from my experience. He's pretty  
great to talk to, and he likes to know who he's building this stuff  
for. He may tell you no, and have a perfectly good reason to, or tell  
you that you'll be waiting a long time, or tell you to try something  
else. I think he was getting frustrated with being so busy all the  
time and getting more complaints and hassle form impatient collectors  
than positive feedback from the creative artists he goes to all this  
trouble for. It's not like some of the other modular synth companies  
that crank out batches of modules or get them built elsewhere, Grant  
spends a lot of personal time building and designing his modules.  
That's part of the reason why they are so incredibly great. He likes  
when somebody orders ONE module and really spends time with it so he  
knows they are getting into it, instead of a handful. I'm guilty as  
anyone in that front, though. It's hard to control the urge to gather  
all the amazing modules I see - It's just so damn exciting! But Wiard  
modules are special, and Grant likes it that way. I do too! He also  
posted a while back that he was hoping to spend more time working on  
his own module format, and be done with the 1200 series, but they're  
still on his product page... Hopefully he's just taking a well  
deserved break!

Anyway, nobody wants to be speculated about on the internet... so if  
somebody gets the skinny report back to the group! (unless Grant says  
not to, of course)
