Stopped in yest to pick up some rub and another Yeti Rambler and got the word. The Dist gets them on the 1st, store gets on the 2nd. Around $500.00 I was told. Roswell Hardware is located in Roswell, Ga. FYI.

    They told me $594. They also told me Nov 2nd so I called tucker and they said no the 2nd to 3rd week in November. Hopefully RH is right. They also said they got 12 but they have had numerous people asking and they will all be gone that morning.

    Whenever it shows up I'll have one. Those guys over there are good. Personally I could care less if it's Nov or Feb. My 3 Eggs are keeping me occupied at the moment.

    @ Lowflyer - Thanks for the pricing heads up.  Do you know how much a platesetter is for the Minimax?

    Just scratching my head...if the Motherhouse says the MSRP is $596 but these guys are selling them for $494 then I wonder what the selling price will be in other parts of the country. We all know shipping costs get passed on but other wholesalers are known to make sure their dealers stick close to the MSRP. Any dealers want to reply?

    @RRP the distributor here from what I was told limits mark downs to 15% that's why I didn't want to post the price.

    I've been told that these are being released in two waves. The first wave in early November and the second in early December. Dealers will have limited access to them until the full release. (whenever that is...)

    My dealer in Indianapolis, Sullivan Hardware, just called me and I placed my order. They should have them next week. Ordered the plate setter as well. $598 for the MM and $48 for the plate setter. Will be a great Thanksgiving - turkey on the large and the honey-baked ham recepie on the mini-max.

    $100-$200 difference from Georgia to Indianapolis or California - Wow they must ship one mini max on each pallet by itself.  I know Georgia is a pre-order special price but I would not think that shipping a skid filled with them would be that much more.

    Am I missing something?

    The 598.00 price is the correct price for the Mini-Max plus 48.00 for the plate setter. I could maybe see how shipping would be slightly higher for going all the way to the West coast.

    @dihtn I hope you get yours in time for your honey-baked ham on Thanksgiving. Sounds like quite the meal. Turkey and Ham = great nap!

    Thanks BGPF!  Update form the dealer-looks like it will be arriving more towards the end of the month.  Wonder what the demand is-might be pretty high.

    $649 in AZ WITHOUT platesetter but WITH nest.  I ordered and paid for mine, with tax it's $704 out the door.

    it'll be worth it, I can already tell.

    Same price I paid for Eggfest Demo Large with platesetter and nest 2 years ago. Can't believe how the fast the prices are hitting the clouds.
