Be sure to post photos and let us all know how you like it :)

As much as I would like to I won't actually be able to play with it until after work, and even then it will be limited until my son goes to sleep. Just knowing it's here will have to do. :)
 
Status changed, finally

I am from HK
Status just changed to "Prepare for shipping" 5 mins ago
Yes!!!!:)
 
Mine just went into preparing for shipment!


Mine also just did within the last 30 minutes.

I ordered 5 minutes after the store went up on November 30th.

I suppose that once it prepares for shipment it goes out within 24 hours?

With overnight shipping I'll possibly have it by Friday.
 
Unfortunately they will have to be available to shops for me to buy one n Greece. So jealous of you guys!
 
well I guess unless it shipped out right now, I'm looking at next week at the earliest even with "2 business day" shipping... would have been nice to have it this weekend
 
Woke up to get a shipment notification .. Order status says wont be here til the 17th but when I tracked it .. FedEx said delivery on the 14th by 1030 am

So it looks like it will take 2 days to get here from china .. Pretty fast:)

This is an important question I asked above and I did not want to get lost...

Once the order goes "preparing for shipment"....

Is it an additional 24 hour wait until actual shipment or could it happen the same day? What are the experiences here thus far?
 
I use a lovely little iPhone app, and desktop widget by Junecloud:

It receives updates when your order status changes, and you can get alerts pushed to the iPhone (doesn't stop me manually refreshing it constantly).

I tried it and because I have another item that's already shipped on the same order, that's all it's showing status of... back to refreshing the order status page!
 
Mine is out for delivery at 8:18 EST

I have to leave for the airport at 9:30..... let's see if it makes it....

From what ive read in this thread it takes from 12 to 24 hours from prepare to ship to shipping.
 
Has anyone with a 12/24-12/31 window gotten theirs yet?

Mine is still processing, to my chagrin.
