Both Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-GH2-Interchangeable-Free-Angle-Silver/dp/B0043VE288/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1292591341&sr=8-7) and Adorama (http://www.adorama.com/IPCDMCGH2KS.html) have the silver GH2 with the 14-42mm in stock as of this second.

Just read messages from people on a couple forums that they're getting their pre-ordered cameras in. Black and silver bodies and bodies with 14-42mm. None with the 14-140mm yet.

FYI, but US folks can buy the GH2 in either color BODY ONLY directly from Panasonic.

A few days ago they were shipping in 1-2 days, now up to 1-2 weeks, but it has been a much more consistent supply than Amazon, Adorama or BH. Of course, you get a discount on the kit lenses if you buy with the body. But, lots of people try to offload their kit lenses on Ebay.

For fun I went to Panasonic's site and added a GH2 and 14-140mm to the cart. Total was $1664.95 with discount. I thought $1500 was the list price on that combo. One thing I like about Amazon is their no-hassle 30-day return policy. I don't think their online store has a better supply than anyone else. in theory, sure, but not from what I've seen.
