Lack of Nikon Stock Everywhere?

I know that Nikon have had a problem meeting order demands because of the floods near their manufacturing buildings in the far east last year but does anyone know when they're going to get back on track and start shipping at full capacity again?

I'm sick of not being able to buy parts or being able to upgrade my camera because everyone is out of stock! I want to buy myself a new camera but the one I want to get is either permanently out of stock or the suppliers are putting up the prices far too highly.

It's really making me angry.

Latest I got is that Nikon expects to reach reasonable stock levels again in mid-march

I had a meeting with the manager of the local Calumet photo store this past Monday -- he said they're starting to get Nikon shipments this week again, and their Nikon rep told them they'd have all back orders filled by March 1st.
