If you check the B&H site they are on perpetual backorder. One of the tricks is that the kit with lens is the only one to be found. This is not so much fun as there are many folks out there with lenses that do not need or want another longish range zoom but would prefer to purchase the body as an upgrade to their D100 or as a second body to their D2X. You did make a good choice with the D200 as it is a rather well built camera with a plenty good sensor and a sensible control layout.
