I am on the waiting list and I also have it pre-ordered at NM.com. I got a postcard like most of you regarding the delay from NM.com but my local SA called me on Friday and said that there are 10 of the whisky color at their warehouse. She called to let me know that if I want to take that route, she will order it right away instead of waiting for it to get to the store. The store itself is only getting one and I'm no. 3 on the list. Anyway, I let the opportunity go and told her that I'll take my chances. I know, I know but I just bought a new bag. I'll wait for May. You probably should call your SA though and ask her to check their warehouse inventory. Maybe there are a few left on stock.
