| Dealers are not getting the 7046 till July, so it's a semi shop@home exclusive for a few months of preview. A very common thing these days. Same with Falcon, new falcon probably won't hit shelves till July retail wise, but shop@home has it already (20 years ago, 21-Apr-04, to lugnet.loc.ca, lugnet.town)
