Sticky for expected shipping date?

Wow.. I would have given up now to be honest, what have you guys been waiting now, 2 years?

I think that a lot of people have sort of given up, but not in a loud and angry way. Because in the grand scheme of things $99 one time years ago isn't worth a rise in blood pressure.
Also, the regular development updates did help.

As for the current shipping woes, I'm not that surprised that Customs Agencies might be a bit unreasonable over boxes of seemingly random wires and lasers.

Of course, for the price I guess you can't really get loud and angry, but I would imagine there are those that are very very eager to get it and constant disappointment of pushback dates would make me a little sad to say the least.
I don't know what other countries are like, but yeah I find when I order a printer in parts it does take considerable longer than a printer that is pre-built.. I'd hate to think what a reprap kit looks like under an x-ray!!
