Really wanted the grey pair but its not looking like they'll be attainable at retail. Havent seen any other shops dropping them other than extrabutter and we know their in-store fcfs will be a joke with stock going all to resellers.

I didn't have much hope on the US releases either but I saw that CA had a shop that had them (Uncle Otis) and after shipping they were about $195. Just keep an eye open.
 
Hopefully, with the US launch of the Protection 2002R Pack this week, prices on the 3rd market will drop and be more reasonable. If I strike out, I think ~$250 would be my price to pull the trigger.

Well, the 992 I got from NB is defective. I’m so used to trying on one shoe for sizing purposes that it never occurred to me to try both, just in case. Well a 15 minute walk later I discover that the left shoe has a defect near the ball of my toe. It’s uneven under the insole. Anyone have experience dealing with them for a defective shoe? I have 20 NB pairs and have never had this happen before (including outlet/Marshall's purchases).

I just experienced this with my last 992 purchase. I got the wrong size (first time buying 992s) but when I got them there was a little piece of the sole poking up around the ball of my left foot also, area right behind the big toe. Luckily I returned them and got my true size but even the new ones have some imperfections with the soles that I can feel through the bottom of the shoe. I've always wanting a pair of 992s but I think I might return these also.

This is common and normal on the 992's. I have a range of pairs and it's due to the abzorb unit that runs across the forefoot right where your toes start. The seam is not imperceptible but I find that it goes away after wearing my pairs a handful of times.

NB said I can return the used pair, but I really like it. So torn. I’ll try another walk, but don’t have high hopes.

Edit - It is getting better. I just ordered my third pair. The heel cushioning is really good - might try a c clamp to squish the bump down quicker. I miss the days where high end NBs got dumped at Marshall’s all the time…
