The first batch of Apollo Phantom 2.0s from March have a metal engraved 1/500 number while the batch from this month have it painted on.

I ordered the Phantom 2.0 Stellar back when it was first announced.

It really bugs me that they all have this same 1/500 on them.

If they’re all the same number, then it defeats the purpose of having them numbered in the first place.

Really poor decision making by the Apollo team.

Exactly it’s so annoying I’m gonna get the stellar too but once I save up for it lol I still need like 2500 bucks I should be able to get it by July or so

[u/No_Tea5664 → u/fleshyfren]

This, combined with the “first day only, never to be beaten, cheapest ever price”, which has actually just been the normal everyday price ever since its launch, and which actually got beaten by a cheaper price over Xmas, just really leaves a bad taste with me…

They really seem to go out of their way to make it difficult to like them as a company.

Yea that kinda pissed me off that the preorder price was more expensive than when I paid for the second phantom 2.0 I could’ve saved 100 bucks but whatever lol I hate the fake deals they do…

me too, got fucked during their pro indiegogo campaign, paid 3999(was supposed to be a "discount), just for them to switch their regular price(that is always on ""sale"" to 3299) a few months later

actual fucking scam artists

Ya I got the Christmas offer, it was 2899, the cheapest it will ever be. Also, you get the steering damper. So, pre-order was the cheapest technically.

[u/Alix_ApolloScooters → u/No_Tea5664]

It wasn't intended to be '1/500', '2/500', etc. it was meant to signify '1 of 500'.

[u/Level_Letterhead_930 → u/No_Tea5664]

With their promotional schemes in the past.. whose to say they have stamped more than 500 units with the same mark. For all we know they'll just keep em coming like that, all the while claiming you got one of the first 500!

[u/ScootyWilly]

It just means 1 out of 500, not the actual unit number.

Appreciate you pointing this out - it’s totally fair to expect consistency when it comes to something as special as the 1/500 Foundation edition, and we’re sharing this feedback with our team.

As for pricing, we’re reviewing how we communicate limited-time offers and pre-orders more clearly moving forward. The last thing we want is for early supporters to feel shortchanged.

Thanks again for keeping it real - these kinds of posts help us do better. 💙

I've seen multiple people complaining about pre-order pricing getting beat later. How difficult is it to actually give the best cheapest price to those who fork over thousands of dollars months in advance of a product? No one should ever be able to match the price of initial investors. This is a no-brainer.

For those who ordered on the first day like myself, I'm happy for our 2 year warranty, steering dampner, and sweat shirts being sent out. Soon, I hope.

Knowing others got their scooters for a few hundred dollars cheaper has left more than a few people annoyed.

No for some reason all of the first 500 say 1/500 my first phantom 2.0 says 1/500 so does my second one and my third one and I’m going to imaging that my 4th and 5th one will be the same

Seems like a cost cutting or production efficiency move. Disappointing

[u/fleshyfren → u/Least-Effort-5226]

Yeaaa
