I'm still seeing Noob Daytona's on TD websites(trusty)? Are they back in business, or is someone else using their name, or is this old stock found at the back of a store cupboard? I heard that A NOTHER factory was soon to be releasing 4130 versions? Anyone else know anything...at all?

Most TDs update their Web sites once every two years.
There is some old Noob stock floating around, a few 116660 V6 or V7 models, and even very, very few Daytonas, if you are willing to pay over $1K for one . . .

No updates from Noob, looks like they have gone the way of the dodo bird. As mentioned, some dealers can obtain old noob stock that popped up. I asked JTime about it, he said if you pay in advance he can look for one. I obviously did not go for that as it could take a week or a year and he will hold my money (over $1k)

I asked jtime for a 116506, he asked for a month but was unsuccessful. I eventually settled on a different Noob daytona instead. If you don't want to wait a year you don't have to.

Give it a year. After CNY 2023 I’m pretty sure we will see Noob of spring popping up. It’s just too much money in the game not too and a big FU to the copyright of the West.
Under covid CN have been easier to control, hence all the raids. Once thing normalizes so will REP production.

If you are fixated on the N4130 cloning machine, it will be difficult for you. If so, then 1300USD or more.
Otherwise, modified 7750s with a working chrono made it into FN (FakeNoob) which are only 0.3mm thicker than the Noob and offer a working chrono for 350-450 usd (I'm not sure at the moment).
Way to go for Daytona favorites.

ARF very few left, is now sold out.
