I remember that backlog. *I bought my D200 at Best Buy because they

So there wasn't much of a backlog if Best Buy had them.
I'll bet Toys R' Us had plenty of them as well.

Adorama didn't have them. B&H didn't have them. Locally, National
Camera didn't have them. Turned out Best Buy did, probably because it
was too high a model for their real market, but they'd gotten optimistic
product allocation.
