I bought two Model B's from Newark[0] on Jan 2nd, shipped on the 4th, and received on the 7th. Wickedly fast. I think they will be out of stock soon.

I also got mine from Newark and it arrived even faster. They even phoned me to follow up which I thought was a bit over the top for a $40 item (although I think they were just checking to see whether I might be a potential volume purchaser)

I also ordered 2 Model B's from Newark. Placed the order 2 days ago (maybe 1.5 days ago?), got them today. They might 'restock' daily? Probably just artificially restricting supply.

Edit: nevermind... looks like I just got lucky when I ordered mine. Newark now says "7200 Expected to ship 6 Feb, 2013"
