Remember that companies that advertise in magazines have to have their 
proofs into the publisher approximately 3 months before publication date.
Three months ago (or more), most dealers thought they would have XF551's
before Christmas.

Moral:  Just because you see it in an ad, don't assume that that means
        they actually have them.
