I agree Traveler- this is probably the case here. I raised this question in part that I am new to the Poser community, in that I became active after the Victoria 2 was already out. I hear nothing but the best about her and the Michael model. If this is normal hype for a new model release- then I might as well shut my eyes to it. Besides- if Stephanie 2 is on the horizon already, why bother? Thanks for your input everyone. ~mayhem
