'Temporarily out of stock status for UN55B8500' shipped from Amazon I have placed an order and told this will ship as soon as inventory comes in.

Very cool that you are getting yours soon. When did you place the order? I placed mine first thing cyber Monday (Nov 30) - I hope to get the same email soon...
191142
I placed the order on December 1, so I figure you'll be getting the email as well

Can't wait for the SD to HD transition. When will this tv come back to stock and at a better price? :(

I think your phone number trick may have paid off - I called last night and Amazon told me that it SHOULD ship today - fingers crossed...Thanks!

Yeah, they definitely have it buried in the site:"You can still reach us the old-fashioned way but you'll miss out on all the benefits of our faster, easier Call Me service.Click the Call Me button or you can reach us at 1-866-216-1072 to use our automated customer service system.International customers can reach us at 1-206-266-2992. Charges may apply."Not sure how much more they can tell you, but it might be worth calling. I asked them how the site can tell me "after December 25" but they can't tell me when they're getting them in (which is why I assumed the message is a default).

Sweet - I just got an email from Amazon saying to expect delivery between the 10th and 29th. That wasn't so comforting, but if I view my order status, it looks like the estimated ship date is December 7th.
191147
Ha, I just called Amazon about the same question. I think you're right about it being a default message since they couldn't give me any information about when they expect to get more in. Lame...

Hello everyone,Once you all receive your sets, please report the firmware (S/W version) that comes with the set out of the box.I heard "2009 S/W" fixes the crop circle issue completely and that this was cause of delay with the stock.
191149
You are a better person than I am as I searched the web site and could find no number to even call. What is the number and what did they tell you about availability? Thanks!
191150
Yes he is correct. There are known issues with a certain firmware of this TV that shows crop circles on the TV. You can do a quick google search on this, people are talking about it in the AV Forums. So I think Samsung has stopped shipment of the TVs to apply the updates.

I have seen it go from pre-order and 1-3 weeks twice to in stock where you could get it delivered next day. I think they are saying 1-3 weeks to be safe as Apple hasn't given them a definite time they will get additional stock. I'd go ahead and order from Amazon as they are by far the least expensive with the rebate and no tax. Also, its easy to return if you buy from Amazon and maybe not so easy from affiliate. I bet it ships within a week if you order now. The other alternative is to come back and check each day to see if it is in stock...it was in stock last weekend for the whole weekend.

Mine also says May 10, which is significantly down from June 14 or whatever it was. I'm going to guess that it's being prepared to ship because my order page says its being prepared and that I cannot cancel or modify that order. If it's out and in stock, it'd be nice if they could go ahead and move them since I have the next thee days off from work. I also have two-day (next day) shipping through Prime so hopefully that will expedite the order quickly as well. With the speakers being significantly heavier than the ones offered with the 6200, I'm going to guess this system will be heavier than its previous counterparts.

Unsure if there is a way to be notified, but the original manufacturers website shows the product to not be in stock/shipped out to customer on THEIR website until 07/09/14. So I would GUESS at least not until around then for Amazon customers, if they even plan to restock it.

I ordered Thurs June 14 at 9:30pm est and the status is still "not yet shipped" ... can other people who ordered earlier than me and have gotten theirs already post when exactly they ordered so the people who are waiting have a better idea when we can expect availability. Thanks.

Same thing just happened to me. Amazon gets these in lots, and allows pre-orders until those lots fill up. In fact, Amazon never sees the Wind, it gets shipped directly from the manufacturer to the buyer. So what probably happened was there are more delays and MSI isn't sure when it can start shipping the lot we're in.What's strange is that this close to the expected ship date, we don't know when it will ship. MSI should at least know how long the delay is.I'll be keeping my eye on other sites to see if they're in stock. I wouldn't go with mwave, since they're charging an extra $80, unless you really want it now.I'm curious if anyone has talked to an amazon rep to see if they have any details on the situation.

I don't know. After I placed my order and waited 3 weeks Christmas came and went before they contacted me to tell me they were out of stock.

Two questions. Does anyone know how long it usually stays out of stock? Or does it just come back at random? Anyone know if there is a way i can be notified when it comes NEW back in stock? Any help would be great. Thanks.

This model was released a few days ago and can be found for sale on excaliberpc.com and CDW.com I don't know why Amazon doesn't yet have it in stock. Being an Amazon Prime member I want to take advantage of 2-day shipping and not wait an undetermined 1-2 months before I get it. Gee you would think that Amazon is one of the largest (if not THE largest) retailers of this product so would have first crack at having them in stock. I'm baffled.
2273595
No, not true. It says 2-3 months when Amazon is out of stock. So long as there's inventory, it ships in 2-3 days.

Purchased mine on January 25th and I'm still waiting in the backorder queue, if that gives you any indication. I'll let you know when mine shows up, as it might give you an idea about yours. Regardless, I think waiting 4 weeks or so for Amazon to restock is well worth paying the MSRP instead of the 20% to 40% markup other online retailers are charging, including some of Amazon's own 3rd party sellers. I don't fault them for charging it though. If consumers are willing to pay the inflated prices then there's no reason a business shouldn't capitalize on it. I'm just saying I won't. waiting 30 days or so for delivery is worth $200 or more in my pocket. End of rant. ;o) Purchased mine on January 25th and I'm still waiting in the backorder queue, if that gives you any indication.

It's currently showing as out of stock. Was it out of stock when you ordered it? I would like to order one, but not if the out of stock condition will persist for weeks as it seems to be in your case. The description from Amazon doesn't give any indication of when or if it will be back in stock.

I have been waiting for approximately three weeks now and estimate was between September and October (I placed the order in July!) I don't know if that was because it was out of stock at the time I placed the order. However, I just went in to my account and "Updated Shipping Speed," by confirming that I want the standard 5-8 day free shipping and then I got an e-mail saying the updated estimated time for ship is now the end of August. Hopefully this is true, but you might want to try doing the same and hopefully will get an earlier ship date too!

I ordered one from J&R; on 5/8 when their website said "In Stock" and "ships in 1-2 days." I started getting a little nervous when I checked back on the site later that day and the status changed to "ships in 3-5" days, and yet again to "out of stock." I called them 5/11 and they told me that the product had been delayed and they had no ETA of when they would be getting any in. They canceled my order without any issue (so far), but I just wish they had been actually truthful about it being in stock when they accepted the order.

Thanks for submitting your question, As of today January 23, 2014 this item is listed as " Temporarily Out of Stock" which means that it is currently not in stock but it is available for ordering. We do not know exactly when it will be in stock but an e-mail will be sent to you with the expected delivery date as soon as that information is available from our suppliers. Have a great day!
