"Maybe they were having trouble with the bottle coatings but they could have at least given a unique colour for the last one. Easy pass for me either way. My Rankin arrived today also but its seems to have been manufactured by a blind person. I…"

"As an aside, my blue Rankin edition just arrived and I have to say that I love it. I'll take pictures at some point, I've literally just plugged it in lol.  The "aquamarine" wax is like a more greeny version of the…"

"I actually thought there were six, guess I was wrong! Given the fact they seemingly have a laser etching machine I kinda expected a whole lot more from these special edition lamps.  Hey ho. A part of me wonders if they had a special bottle…"

"I thought it was blue/white at first but the box pic looks different. Exactly, will have to see :)"
