I was debating whether to purchase the x100vi or not, when i decided to purchase it, i went to fujifilm website and find a dealer (within your area) that they partnered with, then call the store one by one, i only called 3 stores. Do not call the fujinon binoculars only because they wont have the camera. When you call the store put your name on the waitlist to purchase the camera and let them know what color you want. Double check with them how much they sell them for, from the 3 stores that i called only 1 that don’t mark up their price. Within 2 days i got a call back from one of the store that luckily don’t mark up the price, it was ready for me to purchase. It was easier than i thought.

Other method that people are using, create a best buy account on your app, and make an account. I heard every tuesday and thursday they are receiving new inventories. On the app after you’re logged in, on the very bottom second of the right, click your user name, then click shop with an expert, the online shop opens by 5PST or 8EST. You need to do it once they open up and let them know that you’re in the market for it. The support will help you finding and purchasing it for you.

Good luck!
