Just got off the phone with Vortex.<br /><br />Turns out even though the blank spacebar is included in the sample unit that was shipped to us, it is not meant to be included with the retail unit. Having said that, Vortex agrees to ship us blank spacebars for the members that participated in the group buy.<br /><br />We will work out the logistic and most appropriate shipping to get the blank spacebars to everyone when we receive them. <br /><br />No worries guys, we got this!
