Well at least bad news is better than no news. I really do hope they're upping their shipment numbers.

Maybe they are switching from plastic to magnesium frames?

Of course not! Everybody knows that...
Lego cow fur is not easy on the ears by the way.

If he isn't posting any, then there is any, why keep asking almost on a daily basis? I doubt he wouldn't post should he get some update...

I agree with Fafner. At this point we probably won't hear anything until mid April.

Do either of you have a pending order? And, if I choose to ask my vendor a status, what business is it of yours?
Check out of the thread if that bothers you - seriously.

I didn't mean any ill will and I'm sorry if it sounded like that. I was just stating my opinion. At this point I've given up on receiving my HD800 any earlier than late April. And yes I do have a pending order.
