Then it's probably a fake, as the order was placed on October 28.
Got a tip for us?

I ordered in Macau, which was at 3am 28th Oct when the Apple Event on 27th Oct ended.
I hope my order will he handled as base model also .... my only change was a US keyboard layout...instead of Dutch.
It saved me one week in shipping time (2-3weeks for us layout instead of 3-4 weeks for the Dutch layout).
Offcourse they do have to put the correct power supply in the box .... European version instead of US....

So thus far we have two reports of the new MBP with TB moving to Preparing For Shipment. Both are from Asia and both posters who signed up for MacRumors the same day of their posts. Additionally, neither provided a clear screen capture of their configuration. I hate to be negative, but I need more evidence before I believe "it's happening" for real. Sorry, I just want to see more proof and maybe someone stateside moving to Preparing For Shipment.
Basically, yes; and that's not unusual for popular pre-order models. It's STILL difficult to find an iPhone 7 Plus in Jet Black in a lot of stores (it released on September 9th). You have to order online. They'll trickle into certain stores, especially smaller non-flagship stores. But it'll be every bit of March I bet before you can consistently walk into any Apple store and pick one up.
Ugh, got a couple
You would need a dedicated video input device. None of the existing ports would have direct input. Something like this: http://www.fullcompass.com/prod/205...bFPpC0-UiFdcaSZ-U8tJGmHNQF42C-23GYaAsbU8P8HAQ
Keep in mind for the new models, you'd need the TB3->TB2 adapter for it to work.

Yep, easy enough to fake a page. See attached.

I understand your concern, but there is still a chance they are legit. Not only did his page say that it was preparing for shipment, but the cancel button was gone, the question below explaining why you couldn't change the order was there, and the photo of the app seems to be even more difficult to edit convincingly.
Simply put, you can save any version of any page (html file) and edit it to your hearts content. I have yet to find a single person with their FIRST post being about a brand new release and turn out legit, and I've been around here for a decade. Just pure stats, the odds are that it's a troll, but admittedly, as the saying goes, nothing is 100% certain except death and taxes.
Remember they are both stock as well.
I am expecting mine to go to P2S fairly soon if they are legitimate....as mine is a BTO, but with the same estimates.
And yes i can confirm mine was ordered straight after the event, but its a 28th order, as it was early hours for us...think around 2:30am.

I think you could deliver it to a friends house or something? So you can give him or her the mandate to sign for you. It sounds very odd that the haven't planned ahead to have some stock models in store.
Just got some suggestions from apple representative. Once your mac delivered, you can contact the shipping company to let them leave your goods on their shipping department so that you can just pick up there instead of an apple store
Also, you live near a distribution center you can have it held before they get on the truck. Pick it up first minute they open and you can save yourself a long 2-10 hour wait!
Yeah, this is exactly what I will do. I will call UPS and tell them to hold my order at their shipping department, I will come and pick it up later.
