I was wondering why the press release was nowhere to be found...

This is old news from 2015

So I don't understand why in Europe, in the Ricoh-Pentax website there are still misleading news that seem to be recent, probably there is some misinformation,

This is the link in the UK but the same
in other European countries, and it is still available for purchase.

This is the link to Japan
Where it turns out to be Sold Out. Don't you think that this lack of synergy is misleading?

Perhaps it's still available in Europe? The GR is a pretty niche product, after all.

I've just checked the Ricoh Imaging UK website and both the GRii Premium Kit and the GRii Silver Edition are out of stock, the standard GRii is still available.

GR II - RICOH IMAGING EUROPE S.A.S

As a recent (in 2017) purchaser and now very happy owner of a GRii I had heard of the Premium Kit but I thought it was only available as "old stock", the price being asked last year was substantially more than the £999 now being quoted on the Ricoh EU website. The kit is/was being marketed as an "Online Exclusive on Ricoh Imaging online store" and the description is in French. I purchased my GRii from SRS Microsystems (UK) in November last year for £379 (list price £599) in a price match deal based on an Amazon Lightning offer. Perhaps Ricoh EU is clearing it's stocks of the GRii in preparation for the rumoured release of the GRiii in the next few months, I've found that accessories for the GRii are also running out in the UK dealer network.

As for the GRii I now have on my desk? I'm delighted with it, it makes an awesome street photography tool and I have great fun with it.

It's true, until a few days ago there were still unsold kits, it varies from country to country, I did a tour and it seems that the Ricoh kits are hard to find (there's only the image and the link that goes in loop)
