You could try www.speedgraphic.co.uk in the UK. They had one listed on the
last price list they sent me. Tempting...

I got on a waiting list with a Nikon dealer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA,
back in early February. I was fortunate (maybe, maybe not, depending on
whether the first units that ship work) to be second on his waiting list.
Nikon is rationing out the new units based on orders received from their
dealers. The local Nikon rep suggested that maybe the first few would
arrive in mid-February. The latest update is mid March. Of course that's
subject to revision in mid-March. I'll let you know when mine arrives.
