Sadly, I for the same reason as cbrillow, just decided to go with a BOSS system instead... they seem to be back on the shelves, as they were also pulled off for a while... I did clearly like the G10S better, but this is a little disheartening, that Line 6 / Yamaha does not take a more pro-active approach, if they know what the potential scenario is that causes the battery issue...

This is good information to know, how is Line 6 planning to notify owners? I stumbled upon this while trying to find out why my order for the G10S is still not being fulfilled, but a bandmate owbs a G10 and he registered it, but has not been notified of this at all...

There is another thread where there is a Safety Warning for the G10 Family of products: Important safety warning about G10 System batteries

I read a post on Reddit(?) where they say that some stores (GC or Sweetwater) were told to pull the items from the shelves, and in another post someone alluded to a problem with units overheating which leads me to believe that the issue is with the Battery in the G10T, as all the Line 6 Wireless Systems that are using non-sealed batteries (G30/50/75/etc.) are still being sold and only these with sealed rechargeable are not... for that matter I also saw that the Boss units WL-XX which are very similar to the G10 family also have a note of having "delays", there is only 1 system like, this that I can see still being sold Sennheiser XSW-D, but none other... except for the cheap systems... This issue seems to have started in December, so my guess it has nothing to do with the Corona-virus which is affecting many manufacturers (like the company I work for, in electronics and not only in China as they are part of the supply chain of many other countries), but likely the virus effect will just exacerbate the delay in resuming production/shipments even if they have found the issue root cause and have corrected it in the design. I know I am speculating, but the signs are there... FWIW, I still want the G10S and likely will wait... don't want to shell out $400 for the Sennheiser... I like the functionality of the G10S and the price tag is easier to digest...

Is there a reason why G10 family is on back order at most stores and listed as "no longer available" in others? I would also not like to go the G30/50/55 way as the functionality on the G10/s is much simpler. I am debating if I should go for the Boss units instead and cancel my outstanding order for a G10s, which I really don't want to do. Is this just a Mfg delay? Is there another reason? I am also intrigued that even on the Line6 site, there is no way to order a G10/s... why would that be?
