My wife really likes the white/blue K-01 camera and wants to share lens with my white K-30. Are there any stores that sell it in the US? If not, where is the best place to buy a while K-01? I know recently there have been deals on the white one but I can't seem to find any.

They are only available in Japan. Here's an ebay link to a Japanese store:

New Pentax K 01 White×blue Digital Camera 100 Authentic 027075215849 | eBay

All other K-01 kits are discontinued worldwide.

Yep, blue is only in Japan. But you can probably find a better price. Its a bit high on ebays right now, because of the "exclusivity."

You can find the silver and white versions for a little cheaper. And the yellow one looks much better in person than it does in photos. Good luck

Edit: Oh, and we dont know if Pentax is planning on selling the blue ones outside of Asia in the near future. It doesnt look like it.

The difficulty anymore is finding stores in the U.S. that have stock of the K-01, regardless of color. It has been discontinued for all but the Japan market. Tri-State has some white+black in stock as two lens kit.
