Congrats! My local Walther dealer has my name on one as soon as they get them, which I'm thinking should be any time now.

Curiosity question
Was talking to a bud n neither had heard specifics? Anyone heard release date for Final Edition P99?I heard roughly around now but that’s it
www.waltherforums.com
I bought one. $799 + tax, shipping, transfer, background check fee.
It's on the way but hasn't arrived at my FFL yet. I'm a "pics or it didn't happen" kind of guy... but I'll be very quick with them once it arrives. Agree that these things disappeared from gun.deals very quickly. I bought mine from tombstone tactical - a relatively high volume dealer - and it looks like they only had one.
As to the collectable nature of this particular pistol... I'm not sure these "Final Edition" guns will ever be particularly valuable. I'm not sure they will even fetch more than a run of the mill P99. I was wanting to start a thread on that particularly issue but here seems as good a place as any to discuss.
I don't think many people actually recognize the P99. Despite it's objective functional and aesthetic superiority, in terms of sales and it's an 'also ran' in the polymer gun world. Even big James Bond fans will probably only have a passing familiarity, if that. In terms of PPK vs P99 the association probably isn't 1/10th as strong with the P99. I know lots of GoldenEye players but never once heard one pontificate about the virtues of the Walther P99. I might have had one person - ever - say, "Oh yeah the James Bond gun"
I'd be curious how many go out the door. If the number was truly 1,500 then these might actually be quite collectable. If the number is 15,000 then... it's just a green P99 with dumb lettering on it.
I already have a wide selection of P99/PPQ/PDP pistols to shoot from so I do think my intention was to turn this "Final Edition" gun into a safe queen. Probably still shoot it at least once, but we will see... I kind of think I could shoot the crap out of it and as long as I didn't carry or abuse the thing it wouldn't lose much value.
Hippo...I thought you and I were kinda cool. Did you just seriously out do me?! 
Tombstone was the one that got away from me 2 days ago. Haha, probably was you!

LOL. Sorry to do you like that but glad you snagged one elsewhere.Hippo...I thought you and I were kinda cool. Did you just seriously out do me?!

Funny story...
I was checking gun.deals at a stop light (terrible, I know... but my truck drives itself anyways). When I saw one listing in stock - and only one listing in stock - I immediately pulled over and couldn't whip out my credit card fast enough. Finished the transaction right there on the shoulder of the highway.
I thought "you know, why don't I just wait until I get home - don't be crazy about this" but I'm glad my gut overrode my brain
edit: looks like a few dealers have them in stock, VERY few.
Edit2: I was actually poking around... looks like grabagun.com has ONE, guns.com has TWO, the other place has ONE...
Curious how many each dealer is going to get.

Also... it seems pretty obvious these are going out with black backstraps...
...but Walther's own promotional materials and primary image on the website shows olive drab. Not just on graphics but on what would appear to be actual pistols. With a perfect color match.
Anyone interested in a class action suit? Maybe get a coupon for $5 off at Walther.com and a bottle of color matched paint. Oh, and a lawyer will get rich, of course

Or maybe it's like the optics plates where you have to enter a proof of purchase on their website and then you get mailed a color matched backstrap of size/choice?
