Yes, if its sold that way but it'll be even less so they're likely to sell if folks are reasonable. Think about a K-01 body that is BNIB for $199....... or a 40XS lens for $99.......

Looks like around 3 hours with the Yellow going last.

Over 240 bought

Too bad they didn't ship to Canada ...

... I was just about to get one ...

What I thought about the K-01's looks at the beginning still holds true; I still think it's ugly, but for $300 (well, $327 in my case after tax) for the body + 40XS lens, who can resist?
I don't think I'll be keeping the lens though, since I already have the 40 LTD.

But thanks for informing us of this deal; I was ready to pull the trigger on the Q they have on shopnbc, glad that I didn't.
This kit seems like much more bang for my buck.

:'(

Same here, It hurts my feeling, because I just paid $416.

Well... if you were an early adopter like me - you would have paid a lot more than that!

Thinking get a second K01 as spear, is this unnecessary? any suggestion? This price is too good to be true.

They're sold out so the price is gone.

I just got a shipping notification.
Shipping from New Jersey with Fed Ex Smartpost, should take 2-7 business days.
Fingers crossed I'll have it by New Years.

Sure, I will. Who knows, maybe I'll warm up to it?
