So... I wrote to Massdrop and received this in reply.
"I am not able to provide our vendor information for our products, but as for warranty if the manufacturer is unable to help out, you can reach out to us an we will facilitate the warranty. The length of the warranty will be on the drop page and if it is not on the drop page, we offer a 1 year warranty that will be facilitated by us."
Since I cannot seem to get a straight reply, or any assurance of Rode's warranty support, this is a drop I will not be joining despite the fact that it is a product I will definitely buy.
DaveC09Massdrop helping seems great and all, but for a 10 year warranty there's a pretty big chance the company has failed or otherwise by even halfway through.
