Yeah same problem here, bit awkward for the chap in my local Jessops he's sold me £k's worth of gear and done his best to beat the cheapest prices I find for him by a nice amount, he's obviously been told to try and fob it off as I think they don't think they will get these, he's contacted lowepro to see where they are and Lowepro don't have them at the moment and the reason for the sale price was because there are end of line stock, so sounds a bit like they sold more than they can cater for?? Although that said I am sure I have still seen the red version at full price with other stockists, simples Lowepro should get their stock for us.. If only!
We will see though, I hold little hope!
I was told the same thing with all the car rig gear I bought today that Jessops has to 'special order' them up to 28 days etc, I"ve been done once on their special orders by the looks of it so they can jog on with their special orders from now on!
