Educated guesses, rumours, or wild guesses re: estimated availability of new Lowrance Pro / AT2 units?

Curious if anyone has any ideas or guesses when the new Lowrance Pro head units or active target 2 units might be available for purchase.  Working on picking up what I can for my new kayak now before the spring rush hits.

 

Thanks,

Joe

Thanks MN Fisher, appreciate the help and links.  They even had the links to the rebate deals as well, I hadn't been able to find those details as of yet.  Too bad the Xi3 Kayak 36" trolling motor isn't on the list  

 

Anyone ordered from thegpsstore before?  Anyone remember how quickly the new model stuff sold out last time it was released?  I was sort of planning to look for the gear in stock once it was available for sale.  Anyone think it would be better to 'pre-order' it to have a better chance of snagging?  Could be said I'm being a bit manic in trying to make sure I have the 'basics' that I know I want for the kayak this winter so I can set it up, play around with it, and not worry about "oh gee, that part is now out of stock everywhere" come spring.

 

Thanks again, appreciate your help.

Active Target 2 is now available for purchase, just picked it up from MidwayUSA.  Now I'm just waiting on the HDS Pro head units to be available in a few weeks.

My stepdad ordered a Garmin from them. Good prices, quick shipping.

 

I ordered one of my Garmins from bassfishinelectronics.com, again, great prices, and lightning quick shipping! These guys are super great to work with and very knowledgeable.

Thanks! That's good to know and expands my shopping options a bit as I wait on the HDS Pro to drop.
