Got my vz-2008 and shot it on Saturday, very happy with it so far, I was able to hit a tennis ball size target at 80 yards with the iron sights a few times!
Me too! I died a little on the inside when I saw they were out of stock, but ordered one when they came back. Merry Christmas for me!
aimsurplus is among the best internet gun vendors
they didnt jack the prices like some did and their website is directly tied to their inventory, no backorder bull****

Just an update on these in case they come up on AIM again. I ordered this package a little before Christmas and the fit & finish is much better than some AK's I've had in the past. It also comes with a complete milsurp cleaning kit as well that is pictured but not mentioned in the description. The muzzle threads are 14x1 RH vs the traditional AK 14x1 LH threads. I know some early CAI VZ builds had AK threads, but these new ones have the correct Czech RH thread pattern. So order a Czech military style muzzle break from CNC warrior with RH threads and you are good to go there.
The mags are true milsurp with aluminum mag bodies and steel followers / base plates. Out of the 5 mags I received, 2 were fairly clean and 3 were filthy like they had 500 rds apiece put through them yesterday. But the beauty of that was since all the components of the mag except for the springs were aluminum, that corrosive military ammo caused no long term damage to the mags if stored dirty. The leather mag pouch was definitely milsurp as well, mine even had some old school military paperwork lost in the bottom of it (Google was able to help me determine that a Private had that pouch at one time). Another cool side note is that my bayonet scabbard had trench art carved into the leather in the form of a cross. So the soldier who had it must have been a Christian too. :-)
All in all I could not have asked for more for my $$$. This weapon system has a lot of cool design features that in my opinion makes it better than an AK (like the last shot hold open, short stroke piston, and striker vs hammer fired), but I still love AK's as well.
