Got my Pi2 from Amazon recently, and have been looking at gearbest for some goodies and noticed they have the Pi2 on flash sale.
A whole £2.60 cheaper than the current cheapest which is Currys/Amazon @ £25.99.
Whether or not you feel the slower delivery time is worth the £2.60 is up to you.
42 pcs and 5 days remaining at this price.
edit: fixed my maths errors. ;)

Do yourself a favour and pay a couple of quid more and get it from a decent UK seller.

I ordered mine from flubit last Sunday (Using the Amazon.co.uk link) , and it was delivered on Tuesday
It costed £23.24.
I voted hot for the price, but take into account what other users mentioned: It will take weeks before you see this one being delivered as it comes from China. If you go down this route remember you can use TopCashBack (so probably Quidco too) for a further discount (Probably about 6% if Iremember well).

has anyone seen the single board computers coming out this year? they'll blow pi out the water!

They might if enough developers get on board. That's what makes the pi great.
As far as this deal is concerned though, I ordered a pi from gearbest on the 2nd December, and am still waiting. Not worth it to save a couple of quid - not to me at least.
Edit: not voted either way.

They do if what you want to do is play Top Trumps with spec numbers. Plenty of SBCs already have "better" specs than Pi, but that's not what it's about.

I have just bought one from Amazon. i will be running Kodi on it.
will the new stuff be cheaper than Pi 2? and when are they coming out?
I don't regret buying it now, Kodi runs fast enough, don't know the prices of the new ones, don't know when they will come out and don't know how easy would be to install Kodi on it.
I might buy them things anyway to play with but cannot possibly regret paying £26 for Pi 2.

I'm not sure if this makes much difference to the build quality but the gear best ones are manufacturerd in China, the CPC ones in the UK.
