I've just read in another forum (starts with V) that the Oz distributor is no longer importing 2boxes :-\
I don't know if it was for low sales or whatever but this is indeed bad news I reckon.
So if you are already the proud owner of a 2box consider yourself lucky and for all who didn't order theirs while it was available well, the only option now is to import it directly from Europe or wait for a new distributor to appear.
And with the distributor out of the picture, I don't know who is going to provide support.... I can imagine the following email:
disgruntled 2boxer: "Hey, my kick is broken or something. I'm in Australia"
2box: I'm sorry to hear that, but you will have to send the kick to your nearest distributor for repair, which in your case is...ehm, let me see New Zealand. :P
indeed bad news for you people there, but thingswont be that bad for already owners i guess. replacing a sensor is not that hard after all!!!! i hope someone will distribute 2box over there again!!!!
Rumor has it (reliable source,) there will be a new aussy distributor very shortly .... and as long as I am spreading gossip, it is someone who visits this very forum .... Now ... don't ask, I ain't tellin no more than that.... J
by aussy you mean australia or austin? cause australia aint in the us so edcito will still be sad
There is a new distributor in place - the distributor of Tama and Ashton. They are a big player in the market and will no doubt provide good support. Obviously, some deal has been struck with regard to warranty claims for goods supplied by the previous importer. I would not have any fears.

I see, it's not all lost then, thanks for the update digital drummer! Btw, when is the next edition coming out?
Hi Ed. The next digitalDrummer will hit you in Feb. It's all done - except for the NAMM coverage.
By the way, if you look on the 2box website, you'll see Australis listed as the Australian distributor. Hope you have corrected this on the other forum (I didn't see that post).

Oops - okay, sorry if that in any way gave the impression that 2box was disappearing. At the time, I wasn't able to say anything about the new distributor. I was merely trying to explain why there were some cheap components on eBay....
