Unfortunately I cannot help you with a contact number. By all means talk to them and ask the question.
However, what makes you think that they would even consider giving early purchasers a refund? On what basis would you make a claim for a refund?
I may not get out too much, but I am yet to hear of any company that adopts such practice.
Those who purchased early knew they were paying a premium in return for the benefit of enjoying their camera. That is always part of the deal.
Good luck in any event.

Well Peter, your points (and others following) are well taken. Hope came from a post I read saying that many credit card companies had a "price drop protection" for 90 days. AmEx does not. But, I thought I would check about it and my post simply asks if anyone knows the process to do so through Nikon, rather than the credit card folks. (BTW: AmEx DOES double the Nikon warranty! Had not known this till I asked.)
Obviously, I bought the camera early on, and frankly I suspected there would be a Christmas price drop (many may recall the initial grumbling that the rumor sites had said this body would be around $1500 - well - it sort of is now with the 24-85mm VR added in for $2Kish).
Had several shoots planned and was glad to get this body. It has performed wonderfully well. The kit lens IS a good travel lens, and better than I expected all considered. The 50mm 1.4G certainly outshines it and I hope to get a 28mm 1.8G later. Already had the 70-300mm and 70-200mm 2.8 as well.
I am far from angry: shot two weddings, rarely seen whooping cranes near Port Aransas, Texas, and lots of fabulous places in Maui. Captured a number of sunsets, moon shots, and even shot a wedding video (my first) and NONE of this would have occurred had I waited for the price drop.
Back to my question: does anyone know whom to contact at Nikon to ask about this question? Although a "no" may be the answer, I'd like to ask. Happy to take any credit towards purchase of a new lens.
