Since the move in April we've been stockpiling and delivering to
Noisebug. There will be very sufficient stock of everything once their
online sales begin.  It's at a different level now. So yeah, totally
covered there. So by the end of June you'll be able to buy everything
in our catalog in great numbers as well as the ELFs from Noisebug. 
Moog Audio currently has stock for sale with the second part of their
order on it's way. 

As far as the other new product announced last month, all of those
will be out by Fall (basically the next four months).  Expect no less
than two per month during that period with the first being the Vector
Plotter, the VCA and the Mult.

Once these go, then we'll get the 16 and 18 handled.
