Just got all excited opening my Wiggle delivery, nice big Reverb box inside, open it up to reveal an all black post, with black collar.
I thought 2012s had the black collar? And we're thus more prone to faults?

They advertise both 2012 and 2013 models on their website, with the colours matching my description, and i certainly ordered the newer version, however the sticker on the bottom of the box states "2013 WK28"

So, have i got a brand spanking new one or possibly a reboxed older?
Will i die?

Think your best to ask the uk importer (Fisher Outdoor).

I doubt wiggle have been reboxing Reverbs to fool the unwitting (where would they get the empty boxes?).

If they were bagged OEM ones you might have more reason to wonder?

Funny. I ordered a 2013 model, expected a black collar, and received one with a silver collar

I thought the first lot (a bit dicier) had silver collars and the revised ones had black collars.

I think the earlier ones (2011) had a different hose connector and were prone to failure. they were all silver. Anything from 2012 is either silver or black and has the newer connector.

I've got a 2012 which is silver, but has the newer connector.
