That's what I did, maybe taken down? I am not the best searcher! May be the problem. Want a crack at the outputs offered for it!
There it is, must be my searching skills! Got so excited when it came up, I almost ordered another Iron pre completion kit, "last one" right next to it....
Use the search function on the DiyAudio store page and type F5M essentials or just 5FM and the listing will come up. As Tungsten has said, its probably just a hidden placeholder page in anticipation of the kits going on sale.
I emailed Elena at support. They are not sold out. They are still getting it all prepared. I asked if I could put her reply in the forum and have not heard back on that.
My impression is it will be at least another week.
Tungsten's assumption before I asked support is likely correct.

I got 6 of each kit, but will only need 2 each, so if anyone needs one hit me up.
Any reason not to use the power supply we are used to, such as for F6 et al? You know, the dual secondaries to two bridges to CRC? Not sure why there is a new power supply design and what benefits it may have vs familiar supply.
In my case, I will most likely simply remove the F6 circuit boards from heat sinks in my existing F6 amp, and mount the F5m boards to sinks and simply use existing F6 power supply. Good, not good?

How did you get these kits? F5m? I just checked, they're still "out of stock"...
Often sarcasm is hard to pick up from the written word. I can't tell if most of the folks sharing their "fear of missing out" concerns here are seriously anxious with tension, or just playing around for fun. My posts above are intended to be fun and help break any tension.
You can be sure, the kit has never been "In Stock" yet and we are simply seeing the rollout steps before it does become available. This is how updating websites built on these standard retail frameworks work. It's a process and takes time. It's a good sign to see that it's getting really close to being made available. I don't think anyone here is going to miss out. That's the impression I got from Papa, 6L6, and WBS.

Funny. I just (almost) gave away some capacitors that would've been perfect for the F5M. I couldn't find anyone local that wanted them.

IRF140 is the preferred part. Also, the P channel IRF9140 does not suffer from the "IRF P channel issue".
