Pi Availability?

Is the GreatGlobalPiShortage now at an end?



I looked in the PiHut and most boards seem to be back in stock...


-- “It is not the truth of Marxism that explains the willingness of intellectuals to believe it, but the power that it confers on intellectuals, in their attempts to control the world. And since...it is futile to reason someone out of a thing that he was not reasoned into, we can conclude that Marxism owes its remarkable power to survive every criticism to the fact that it is not a truth-directed but a power-directed system of thought.” Sir Roger Scruton


I guess they got a good batch. Now though, I see only one model (A+) available at one dealer

Are you sure? There's almost nothing there now. The shortage seems worse than ever to me, now that the scalpers all know about rpilocator.

My bad, I mistook the green colour that is nearly the same as 'in stock' which actually says something else.

Why didn't they make it red or orange?

If you were to take a trip into Cambridge I gather the Raspberry Pi store in the Grand Arcade is said to be better at having stock.

(I haven't verified this personally)

Trip into Cambridge almost impossible now due to traffic/parking restrictions - usually costs me a fine of on sort or another. Cambridge doesn't want motorists. I oblige.

I grew up there, then moved away and revisited thirty years later, it had become an awful, crowded and over-controlled place.

The fines were still turning up a month after I got home!

I went into the RPi shop in Cambridge yesterday as I was walking through the Grand Arcade. No stock of naked Pi boards. Only starter kits. I asked when reasonable supplies were expected and they said July.

Access to Cambridge was fine. Drive to Madingley P&R in 8 mins. Plenty of parking space. Wait 5 mins for bus ( every 10 mins). Get off at Round Church 10 mins later.

Easier than driving into town to park, similar time taken, cheaper, better for the planet and for quality of life in Cambridge!
