Today B&H wanted us to let you all know, they are expecting some Panasonic GH2’s with 14-42mm in a shipment very soon and they are now accepting pre-orders for them. To get your pre-order:

Black Body w/14-42mm Lens Pre-order

Silver Body w/14-42mm Lens Pre-Order

Also, they just recently got their first shipment of the brand new Lexar 128GB SD card in. This is the card you want for recording HD video on your brand new DSLR. To get your hands on one these cards right now:

Lexar 128GB SD Card

Revamped and updated the Panasonic Cameras section this past evening. We now have separate trackers for all current lines we are tracking for Panasonic models. These lines are inclusive of the following series: Gx, GFx, GH, x, and LXx. So, if you happen to wander to the old Panasonic Tracker link on the site and see something you are not used to seeing this will be why. The old Panasonic Cameras In Stock Tracker page is now a category page. And each of the lines have their own separate tracker pages. This will enable more flexibility with timings of each tracker and keep the entire Panasonic cameras section more organized.

If you are looking for a Panasonic GH2, I have added quite a few new items to the tracker from different retailers. Make sure you review these new items and add any you would like to your account to be notified of stock availability. To see the new pages, use the following links:

Panasonic GH2 Tracker >
Panasonic GF2 Tracker >
Panasonic G2 Tracker >
Panasonic LX5 Tracker >

Also, all older models will remain in their respective series  trackers. As new models become available, which should not be for some time, they will fall into their respective trackers.

Well as assumed, with no real upgrades on the T3i from the T2i, there is already T3i Body Only stock available for purchase already. If you are interested in picking up the T3i, then you should head over to B&H Photo as they are the first major photography retailer to show the Body Only T3i in stock.

And as always, if stock is out by the time you read this… well then check out our T3i In Stock Tracker for other retailers that might have this model in stock. If no one has stock, then be sure to sign up for the FREE in stock alerts!

Late yesterday evening, OneCall was the first to release inventory of the new Canon Rebel T3i Kit. Yes, Kit only of course. I am sure the Body only units will take some time. With the Kits coming in at $899, this camera doesn’t seem like it is going to be anywhere near as hot as the T2i was. The upgrades from the T2i model are few, but the LCD size increase is nice, however, the remote flash is almost forgettable at this level. This begs the question… where does this leave the Canon 60D? Aside from a slight increase in FPS when shooting continuous mode, with the 60D at 5.3 frames per second (fps) and the T3i at 3.7 fps, there are no real differences between the two cameras. For $100 more your get a nearly 2 more frames of capture per second! Is the 60D being phased out or replaced? I guess only time will tell.

If by the time you come across this post all stock at OneCall is gone, then be sure to check out our Rebel T3i In Stock Tracker. Register for a FREE account and add items to your account for free in stock notifications!

The much anticipated, Photokina 2010 show-stealing, Fujifilm X100 available for pre-order once again! It was a while back on February 8th when pre-orders for the X100 were first available, but they quickly disappeared. Wait no more, you can place your pre-order once again to ensure your place in line for this super-hot camera. Place your pre-order at Amazon now.

Free In Stock Notifications

If by chance you come upon this post after the pre-orders have been removed, don’t fret. Just register with NowInStock.net, add the Fujifilm X100 to your items, and we will alert you whenever we see the X100 in stock or available for pre-order again. It is a FREE service. If you would like to see what the current status of inventory on the X100 is, then venture over to our Fujifilm In Stock Tracker.

If you are one of the many looking to purchase the Nikon D7000 Body, then you are in luck. At the time of writing this post, Amazon has the D7000 Body In Stock! To enhance this event even more, you can get some serious lens savings if you purchase the D7000 from Amazon along with select lenses. You can save up to $400 on select lenses. Visit this page to see all of the lens combo savings opportunities and get the proper Amazon promo codes.

Time for the weekly tracker updates so all of our users remain informed.

Tracker Updates

This past week we had some serious stock arrive. Thank you to all of those users that have subscribed and continue to promote NowInStock.net. We try our damnedest to make sure that everyone of our subscribers gets what they are looking for in a timely manner, but of course this is also dictated by the retailers and their inventories.

Kinect Tracker

As suspected last week, Kinect stock is diminishing rapidly… even the Kinect bundles are going fast. This past Friday though, we saw a really nice unbundled Kinect offering from Amazon and really hope this trend continues this Friday. Why this Friday… well from our collected data, it appears that there is another shipment expected to arrive from Microsoft to the Amazon warehouses this Friday. Last week, the 250GB Xbox Kinect Bundle was available for preorder from Amazon with an expected shipment on December 11th, then another shipment was noted a day later for release on December 12th. From this, we could infer that sometime later this week we can expect some form of shipment from Microsoft… could there be more Kinects on the same truck? Remember this is pure speculation, only Amazon and Microsoft know when the next set of Kinects are expected to arrive, heck I bet Amazon doesn’t even know, hence why there are not pre-orders for the Kinect. If you are still looking for a Kinect, then be sure to visit our Kinect In Stock Tracker and sign up for the FREE in stock alerts.

Xbox 360 Tracker

If you read the above Kinect update, then you will see that there was some pre-order action going on last week for the 250GB Kinect Bundles at Amazon. Also, we had a stellar inventory of 4GB Kinect Bundles being offered from Amazon, that sold out in a slow enough manner that allowed a lot of you to get your hands on one. We hope this trend continues with a little more solid offerings on the 250GB Kinect Bundles instead of just pre-orders. If you are one of the subscribers in the market for a 250GB Kinect Bundle, please remember you will need to be really fast. This is the particularly hot model and inventory will fly off the virtual shelves. Visit the Xbox 360 Tracker for current stock statuses.

Nikon D7000 Tracker

The Nikon D7000 Body continues to elude us. While supplies of the Nikon D7000 Kit continue to remain in stock a variety of online retailers. While earlier this morning no one had stock of even the Kits, Best Buy was sure to replenish its stock by this afternoon. Kits from OneCall and Vann’s seem to have be cleaned out, but may return soon as well. But where are those Body Only D7000’s everyone wants? Looking for a Nikon D7000, then visit the tracker.

Monster High and Lalaloopsy Trackers

Both of these toys continue to have high demand with extremely low inventories. We think a lot of the retailers are pushing more inventory to their brick and mortar stores rather than to their online stores. Visit each respective tracker and sign up for FREE alerts: Monster High Tracker & Lalaloopsy Tracker

New Trackers

NVIDIA GTX 580 Tracker Launched

This morning we added a new tracker for the NVIDIA GTX 580. Inventory on the latest release of video cards from NVIDIA seems to be holding up well compared to last year’s GTX 480 release. While there is a stock available from across the many lines of video cards manufacturers, stock is still limited and there is a chance with the holidays that it will all vanish. It is clear that last years limited supply was truly dependent on the the release of DirectX 11. This year the GTX 580 cards are just upgrades to those initial 480 cards. We added the tracker just to make sure we had our bases covered in case the card demand starts to out strip inventories.

Side Notes

B&H Photo Tracking Live

B&H Photo tracking is live once again. You can Custom Track the items you want from B&H or Amazon, or select B&H from any of the other trackers where they are featured.

Till next week, hang in there, NowInStock.net will help you get one!

This week’s tracker update will be as short and sweet as possible as there will be deals to be had.

Lalaloopsy Dolls Tracker

Lalaloopsy Dolls are back… and hot! Black Friday seemed to wipe out inventories across the major retailers with only a few stragglers remaining. As a result of this increased demand and low inventory, Lalaloopsy has regained its position as a Hot Tracker. Along with this we have also added some Kmart listings to the tracker. Be forewarned, however, Kmart’s inventory system is lackluster at best and has a tendency to shoot a lot of errors. Not to mention that Kmart has multiple listings for each Lalaloopsy Doll they offer, so tracking might not always be accurate with these items. If you are interested in adding the Kmart Lalaloopsy Dolls to your items for free in stock alerts, visit the Lalaloopsy Alerts page. If you just want to check inventories, then head over to the Lalaloopsy Dolls Tracker.

Toy Story 3

We had some user requests this week for Toy Story 3 Bullseye tracking. As a result we have added Toys R Us to this new tracker… if you want anything else tracked for this line then Make a Suggestion…please remember though, we cannot track Disney Store. To see if stock is available or to sign up for FREE in stock alerts, head over to the Toy Story 3 Tracker.

Kinect

If inventories of the Kinect devices remain low over this next week, we will begin adding Kinect Bundles which seem to be showing up. This is typical for really hot items in the video game arena. When the individual item sells out too quickly, our capitalistic minds kick in to soak the customer, such as the $250 Walmart Bundle. (This is why I love Amazon… they refrain from doing this.) Since we are all about finding the right item for our users in a timely fashion, we will offer tracking on a limited number of these Kinect Bundles as an option. To see if inventories of the Kinect sensor are available or to sign up for FREE in stock alerts for the Kinect, then head over to the Kinect In Stock Tracker.

B&H Photo

On a side note, this past week we started receiving errors when querying B&H Photo. This error has resulted in B&H being removed from the site. It is unfortunate, but until we can resolve the issue with B&H Photo, we are not able to track any items on their site. If you have B&H items in your account, they will remain in your account, and as soon as the issue is resolved, tracking will resume as normal. To ensure continued selection in the various trackers where B&H existed, we have added a lot of new items from Adorama and J&R. Also, this means that you can no longer add custom items for B&H as well. Sorry in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

It is clear that the holiday season is heating up. This week we have a few updates we would like to share with our users as well as all of those potential users out there. If you are not a registered user, then what are you waiting for, it’s FREE!

Deals & Coupons Section Launched

If you haven’t noticed yet, we have added a new Deals section to NowInStock.net. This is clearly a work-in-progress, and right now the only clear feature is Filter by Store. You may not be all that impressed, but we just wanted to get something up for the holiday season and are continuing to work on it as you read this. If you have a spare minute or two, then check out some of the latest deals and see if there is anything that piques your interest. Purchasing through these links will help support NowInStock.net. Also, if you have any suggestions on the direction this deals section should take, let us know! We love user input; it is what drives this site. Make a suggestion.

Enough, lets get to the in stock trackers, the heart and soul of NowInStock:

New In Stock Trackers

Playstation 3 Accessories

Are you one of the many looking for an extra PS3 Move Controller or two? Well then head over to the PS3 Accessories In Stock Tracker and check to see what inventory is available, if any. If no controllers are in stock, then be sure to sign up for our FREE in stock alerts! With this tracker, we are tracking Move Controller, Move Navigation Controller as well as the Move Starter Bundle.

UK Kinect In Stock Tracker

We have finally added a Kinect tracker just for the UK. If you are a UK-based user and looking for the Kinect, but having trouble locating one, then check out our UK Kinect In Stock Tracker.

Tracker Updates

Microsoft Xbox 360

This past week we updated the Xbox 360 In Stock Tracker with the new Kinect Bundles. We noticed that inventories of specifically the 250GB Kinect Bundle have been very limited. So we added a bunch of store. We are also tracking the 4GB Kinect Bundle as well as the new Holiday Bundle. If you are looking for one of these, make sure to head over to this tracker and see what is available.

Kinect Tracker

Microsoft Kinect is blazing hot right now and we don’t see inventories catching up anytime soon. Make sure to spread the word about NowInStock.net to others you may know that are looking for Kinect. Come this Friday, when shipments should be released to consumers at tons of Black Friday sales, the real question will be how many will remain available.

As far as our in stock tracker for Kinect, we had to remove Kmart this week. Kmart’s inventory is just plain atrocious and constantly is displaying the wrong information to users, which means they are displaying the imporper information to us as well. Enough is enough, so we deactivated Kmart.

Nikon D7000

Nikon D7000 continues to fly off the shelves at all retailers except Best Buy which has had a steady supply of the Lens Kit version. I guess people really want to save that tax or Best Buy’s inventory is endless.

In other news regarding the Nikon D7000 tracker, Ritz has been removed for gross misrepresentation of actual inventories. With their site showing both the Body Only and Lens Kit versions as being in stock this past week, only for users to find out this was totally false after their orders were placed. As a result, we are no longer reporting on the D7000 at Ritz, at least until this product cools off and the tracker turns into a price comparison tool. It is clear that Ritz can’t handle being on an in stock tracker like NowInStock.net.

As far as additions this week in the D7000, we have added 2 new retailers: Vann’s and Buy.com. Both of these are only tracking the Lens Kit version of D7000. Once they have product pages for just the Body, we will add these as well.

Teacup Piggies

This weekend we added several new products under the Teacup Piggies line for Toys R Us. Also, we added Walmart to the tracker. Walmart’s selection is quite limited at this time, but I am sure inventory will start to show up sooner rather than later. If you are looking for Teacup Piggies, then head over to the tracker.

Squinkies

Squinkies appear to be slowing down. We think they might get the boot from the Hot Tracker section this week and moved to the standard trackers section. Tracking will continue on this item… so don’t worry, we are just going to slow it down. If the stock depletes and demand increases, then we will speed it back up.

Custom Item Tracking

Don’t forget, we do have Custom Item tracking for Amazon & B&H Photo right now. The more people use this feature the more stores we will continue to add. So keep on adding items you want.

That is all for this week. Ensure you stop back to the Deals section for Black Friday deals. Also, if we do not post between now and Thanksgiving, as we feverishly work on the Deals section, then here’s a Happy Turkey Day wish for all of our US-based users.

This update is just to let everyone know where we currently stand on a few of the in stock trackers here at NowInStock.net. Which items will be the hottest holiday gifts of 2010? There have been quite a few updates over the past week so let’s get to it.

Electronics

Nikon D7000

We saw our first inventory show up at B&H this past week along with ABT. Stock at B&H sold out in a matter of minutes, while ABT took a few hours each time they had some. Both of these instances were for the D7000 Lens Kit; the D7000 Body only unit has yet to rear its head aside from the Ritz supposed stock. Looking for a Nikon D7000, then head over to our Nikon D7000 In Stock Tracker to see if stock is available.

Kinect for Xbox 360

Kinect has been a shining star for certain. Reviews are finally in albeit with mixed reviews at best. The main criticism from the system is the amount of room necessary to use Kinect. But, these mixed reviews don’t mean it will be any less hard to find a unit. The Kinect-only package is the hardest to locate for certain with Microsoft Store raking in the reward for most “apparent” inventory. Next is Walmart which always wants show stock available, but you better get out your BIG wallet as they do not sell the unit without you requiring to add another game to your cart. Oh wait, they increased the requirements later this past week requiring you purchase two additional Kinect games. If you are looking for a Microsoft Kinect, then head over to our Microsoft Kinect In Stock Tracker to see if stock is available.

Also, for all those United Kingdom users out there, we just launched the UK Kinect In Stock Tracker!

Nikon Camera Accessories Tracker – New!

We added a new Nikon Camera Accessories In Stock Tracker this weekend. Right now we are tracking the availability of the soon to be released Nikon SB-700 Speedlight. If you are looking for this flash, then you should add this item to your account. This tracker was launched as a result of a user request. We really appreciate user requests. Heck we are here for you, voice yourself.

Toys

Squinkies

These little guys continue to shine selling out fairly quickly each time stock shows up. This week we added Bubble Packs #7,#8, and #9 to the tracker for Toys R Us. As soon as we see these units show up elsewhere, we will add them. If you are in the market for some Squinkies, then head over to our Squinkies In Stock Tracker to see if stock is available.

Sing-a-ma-jigs

Popularity of these singing pets has seemed to stall a bit. Not sure if it is too early or what, but the majority of comments we have read online seem to indicate there may still be a little steam behind them, but this is yet to be determined. If you are looking for a Sing-a-ma-jig, then head over to our Sing-a-ma-jigs In Stock Tracker to see if stock is available.

Monster High Dolls

If there was one toy this holiday season we thought would take off, it had to be Monster High Dolls. With all the vamp hype flying around these days, between the Twilight series and True Blood, we figured these toys would be the one to shine. As it stand now, Monster High has been performing very well in regards to selling out with the one exception being the Cleo/Duece Doll set that always seems to remain in stock wherever you look. Clawdeen Wolf has to be the hottest of all the dolls. Not the Dance of the Dawn version either, we are talking about the Clawdeen Wolf w/Pet. This week we added Holt Hyde and Ghoulia Yelps for Toys R Us and Walmart. If you are a user and not subscribe to these items, make sure to login and add them to your account. If you are looking for a Monster High Doll, then head over to our Monster High Dolls In Stock Tracker to see if stock is available.

Lalaloopsy Dolls

These little girls had their shining moment, but momentum has seemed to tetter off quite a bit over the past week. Invenotries remain high and demand doesn’t seem to be increasing. In fact, we wanted to replace Lalaloopsy in our hot trackers section, but had nothing to replace it with. If you are looking for a Lalaloopsy Doll, then head over to our Lalaloopsy Dolls In Stock Tracker, we are sure you will be able to find a doll.

Dance Star Mickey

Yes, Mickey continues to be a star following in the footsteps of our past robotic superstars such as Tickle Me Elmo. Inventories for Dance Star never last long, but then again there is only one version unlike the other toys discussed above that have multiple options. If you are looking for a Dance Star Mickey, then head over to our Dance Star Mickey In Stock Tracker to see if stock is available.

Ending Notes

It is still hard to tell who the real shining stars are yet, but there have been plenty of contenders so far. If you know what you want, then make sure to head over to that products specific tracker and see if inventory is available. If not, then make sure to register for our FREE in stock alerts. We will notify you when inventory is available for purchase via email, TXT message, Browser Alerts or Desktop Alerts.

Also, remember that we have our FREE Custom Tracker. You track what you want. At this time, this tracker is only available for Amazon and B&H Photo, but with continued usage, we will increase the stores associated with it.

Got a hot item that you are having trouble finding, then what are you waiting for? Make a Suggestion!
