Does anyone have these colors and could possibly share pictures or a video showing how the colors look with their skin? I've only found reviews of the Caucasian color, and one review of the Asian color. I'm more interested in seeing how the f3 compares to the f2. I tried emailing rm to ask for more pictures, but they basically pointed out that they have pictures up. Idk about you, but I like to be fully informed about a product I'm purchasing, I like to see many reviews, different angle and lighting pictures, etc.
Please if you have these and could share it with me I'd appreciate it.

Yeah I agree, though they still do have a packer in the color, which for a packer is pretty good. I think if you have a friend with an iPad, you can get it very large and that might help you look at your skin in comparison.

I can help! I purchased both and I do have some pics somewhere...give me a chance to look and I'll post tomorrow. A good rule of thumb for RM is that all of their colors look darker and more flush on screen than they do in person. The F2 is very, very goldeny and lighter than the F3, but while the F3 is darker in tone and redder, the color is less deep? There's very little "flush" to it, so it can look a little lifeless against the skin. It's still a better match for me than the F2, though.

True of the F1 as well (guessing this was one of the 3 original colors). I'm guessing the screen "warms" the colors up a bit. I actually think the RM colors are better, more flesh-like (don't mean the infamous Crayola "flesh") than average packers.
It's also best to shoot for darker than the rest of you. I have a prosthetic but I used to go for the "caramel" in some of the packers just so they weren't so sickly. Didn't have that problem with the RM though.

How long did it take you to receive it?

I seem to recall it taking 2-3 weeks? It was here faster than I expected it to be, so probably closer to two. But I only live a few states over from RM; a two hour drive, maybe. So that makes sense.

Never heard of anybody doing this but I don't see why. I got the impression Jesse is a pretty friendly guy. They do respond well to being contacted in email. I think they brought a bunch of packers to PTH to sell directly but I think that generally they make them to order. I would guess they actually take 2-3 days because they are 2-3 layers. Each layer has to dry completely.
