hehe Ive just ordered mine late friday last week from mpx.no and it seems like it may take a month or so before it gets delivered.. I think it sounds crazy and hope the date of arrival will come sooner! 

 

Greetings from Norway, Oslo

They appear to be built to-order, which would be nice for people getting later production runs because they'll hopefully get better products than the initial pre-delivery sticks like I received. Mine is great, just a single loose button in one hat that rattles but is mostly unnoticeable.

You sure about that? Overclockers order from another UK company that order them I guess from the source or maybe not. But when i spoke to Overclockers they said the site they get it from had ETA but they also told me that they had multiple hundreds of orders. Doesnt seem a very efficient way to do business by all the companies involved including Saitek most of all.

I said appear, and if it were a true bulk run then there wouldn't be delays. I received mine months before the official release date, surely by the release date they would have had the bulk runs done and manufactured enough 2 months after official release to satisfy customer demands. These are HOTAS, they have less demand than true 5.1 surround sound headsets. It's not made to order as 1:1, but I'm betting once a % of an order is met they make another run - batches of 50 or 100, 65% or so ordered and they do a run.

In the U.S. it seems NewEgg has them in stock...if that helps anybody?

Thanks for replies, guess we just gotta wait. I sure wouldnt mind if what FuriousMeow said is right, If Im ending up with a production error after all this time, no more Saitek for me. About 3 more weeks to wait.. Hopefully they will do their best to keep their customers happy
