Interesting update, but not at all surprising to me. My Looping from VG, purchased in 2005, is still less than a foot tall. (Note to self: Get rid of these annoying midgets!)
The 2009 custom order I mentioned in my 2012 post never arrived, and although I requested a refund in several e-mails the year they were closing, and received several e-mails assuring me that I would receive a refund, I never did. Vintage Gardens -- disappointing to the end.
