Looks like we're through the limited edition run of Super Chiefs, at least
originating in Europe. Yesterday it was listed as backordered, ship within
30 days but still with the limited edition description. Today it says Ship
by 24 April, and the description has changed with no mention of the
numbering (this is for Australia which ships from SAH Europe).
A quick check reveals it is currently available in the US but with the new
description, and is not available in the random European countries that I
checked (either on backorder or simply not available). Possibly the US has
a few of their original shipment left and the description has been changed
across the board, ready for the non-numbered edition.
So there you go, that didn't take long!
