Bad word is that Castle oversold them big time. More than half of the first production run were taken by their own web orders which get first priority. This means that none of the retailers will get what was ordered and many backorders might not be filled by the first run- every retailer will most likely have outstanding backorders including tower and horizon. Who is really going to get hurt is the LHS, they probably will have to wait three months to even get their hands on them unless Castle makes a huge run the next time.
If you are in the lower ranks of orders from Mike you should get your ESC soon, if you were in the tail end of the first orders Mike should know within two days where the cutoff was. Those that did not meet the cutoff will have to wait until the next production run.

Ouch. Bad Castle
I'm pretty sure I was quick to jump on the pre-order with Mike and should be in the top 10 in line with another retailer too.
I do certainly hope that Castle gets beat on a bit by the retailers so they don't screw them over again when the combo system is released.
