Pi Zero has disappeared from Farnell!

I have two Pi Zeros on order, and was very surpised to find that it no longer appears in the Farnell stock list! What has happened to it?

When I got around to ordering, they only had "kits" that increased the price per module to about 4 times the price of the actual module. And delivery scheduled for "after christmas". It could be that they have withdrawn the items because of high demand. On the other hand, if you ordered while stuff was "in stock" they will usually do their best to fulfill your order from that stock even if it runs out afterwards. (I managed to order my first pi on release day, even if they sold out minutes later. I got one of the first 5k! :-) )

UPDATE: has disappeared from my farnell as well. General search results have it show up, but the link to the product more or less 404's

I ordered mine from my local store.
Several days later I got this.

I guess until monday arrives overseas, we will have to speculate.

Hey Mark,

Just curious, was that the $5 board, or the kit with the cable and adapter? I couldn't find a listing for the board only, but Newark (Farnell US), still has the kit listed, even with 0 quantity.

it seems that element14 only listed a Pi_zero plus some adaptors, or with a NOOBs card.

At this point in time I cannot find any other numbers, so not sure.
I have the local rep chasing what has happened, as it was news to him.

This search shows no longer stocked.

I little long but at least the order was honoured.

Even more so that it was sold by element14 ...
I should stick it on eBay for megadollars.

Don't forget to include a "best offer" option, then be rude and obnoxious to anybody who suggests anything less than the asking price.
