I'm sure the sx550 is going to be an epic board, the more I think about that $300 price tag for the G+ it just seems crazy though.

Fundamentally the 550 is the same as the 450 just in a different form factor with Bluetooth and a bigger screen. The specs are the same. Bluetooth is not expensive, the fact the Q mini has it at the same price as the Q shows that, and a tiny colour screen is not going to add much to the costs.

If it wasn't made out of zinc alloy I might think differently but there are not any other high end mods using this cheap and heavy material.

So, are any of these devices available for sale yet? Is there a SX-Pure available anywhere for sale yet?

No & no
SX pure is apparently still in development, I was told this by Yihi directly a week ago.

Not good for folks in the USA I don't think..... Today is August 8, 2016..... FDA Demming Reg's..... yuck....

I thought the TPD was bad in the uk but it seems the government in the USA are even more corrupt than ours! Pharma and big tobacco are really pulling the strings behind the scenes.

The way they have the G and G+ priced makes it sound like the screen costs a additional $60.

I wouldn't be so sure about that! I have a SX450, IMO it's not any better than the 350j V2 :(
Witch isn't really any better than the 350 j V1 :(
Yihi has dropped the ball :( there hasn't been a good new product since the original SX mini IMO :(
Now their stealing design cues from Sigelei, witch were all ready stolen by P4Y :(
Yihi had it's 15 minutes of fame with the SX Mini, time to move on people :(

Some of the same folks that own Yihi also own P4Y and Sigelei....have for years....

Now that it's August 9 and none of the "new stuff" is sold yet then they will have to go thru FDA process for approval to sell in the USA. At least that is my understanding. Yihi dropped the ball big time for US sales.... Photo shopped renditions of new stuff doesn't equate to availability and pre-orders don't count.

FDA..... yuck....

There was one of each avaliable to buy the day they were listed, seems a few retailers have done this to try and get round the rules.
the videos are listed on a facebook group.

you already linked to one page, there was 1 in stock, now it states coming soon, vapin art and some other site I can't remember did the same.

If you mean the videos, they are on the sxmini brotherhood page, you can also see the sx550 in action.

From what I understand of the FDA rules, there only needed to be 1 single unit available on the market (anywhere) prior to the 8th for it to qualify as an existing product and then can continue to be sold for the next 2-3 years. Glad to see Boxer got their unit in too (picture from their FB). Choices are good.
