    You can sometimes get the Mode 1 version in stock more easily.  It's easy to convert to a Mode 2, if you don't mind opening the case.  I did this on a previous order.  Basically you just switch a spring from the left stick to the right stick, and a friction bar the other way around.

     

    I ordered another Mode 2 on Feb 8 (while on backorder status) and it arrived in California on March 12.

    Glad some more folks are getting these, I am using mine as programed from factory for now, but plan on upgrade to open source firmware and Earl's TM Screen upgrade.

    If you order it just dont add enything you need in a hurry. If the order has one small item on backorder thats the lot on hold.
    This can even happen mid order, I know.

    Hobbycity/king is notorious for changing things to backorder only after receiving a -10 stock level. it was -25 when I awoke that morning saw this article. they go fast dont they!

    By the way, you can always order it, you just get on the next incoming shipment "first-come-first-serve" list. (ie dont wait to order it, youll usually get it within a few weeks anyway) If you wait till its a positive inventory, youll miss it, by minuates !!!
