I don't recall a sale ever being announced for the M50 (and the specs/brochure is not out yet either)

IIRC the Scythe was never for sale, it was a giveaway for some contest or another, unless I missed something.

I'm really hoping they announce some Freelancer variants, since I want to dedicate that to exploration.
