Willis1 - I think if I am not mistaken that the company in a recent PR stated that they ran out of inventory so quickly because they had under estimated the demand for the product; I think the filters were primarily where they under estimated the demand and that most who got a starter kit also ordered at least one box of filters. They had already lined up another shipment to be delivered from China right as their first shipment was sent so I am guessing that they will very soon or already have inventory again in stock. I am guessing that the company goal was mainly to get the product officially out on the market for the first time and allow the public to purchase it on their web store and they thought that since they had not yet actively let any and all marketing channels/campaigns to begin that the small initial supply should have been able to handle demand from first time buyers, shareholders, people waiting on the product who were curious but the company did not understand the level of demand even in and amongst this smaller subset of followers for the 'RE/AL'. cheers
