W00t! I got a notification that my new printer has shipped. I ordered it on Nov 13 and received the tracking numbers on Dec 31st. FedEx does not have a status change that they received it yet and it says the estimated delivery is today January 2. That would make it 6 weeks 6 days considering that when I ordered they said the lead time was 8 weeks.
Just like me people are really excited to get the printer. Here is a thread on how long it is taking people to get their printer: http://groups.google.com/group/makerbot/browse_thread/thread/b3427ad059f9c23a/459436af7f6cd1f1
