So just in case anyone else I'd interested in these guys, I figured some stuff out that may be common knowledge to some of you, but is news to me.
- they release 3-5 new designs each week and after that week those designs are done and will not be produced again in that same configuration.
- when you place an order with them they currently expect approximately a 16 week wait from order to completion.
- the only way to purchase discontinued models is to find them used.
- one of the better ways to do that is to use the Busse and kin special for sale thread on www.bladeforum.com (for which there is a link on the Busse website)

hopefully this his will help somebody out. The kind lady at Busse combat informed me she expects the next run of models to be up on there website on Wednesday.
