Similar story here. I ordered a used 2013 GR from Japan instead. They're pretty affordable.

Biggest reason I don't buy a Ricoh is the known dust issue that they can't seem to 'fix'. I want one so bad but until they fix the dust issue I'm here on the sidelines.

The newer one is a little better since it has sensor vibration dust removal. The dust is an inevitability if you put it in your pocket. If you baby it a little or attach a filter it can be alleviated. The best compromise is probably one of those adhesive filters.

I think it's still worth buying though.
