I felt that it was extremely unlikely we would see Pandora's in the hands of "normal" users before christmas anyway - this is pretty much confirmed now - another modified batch shipping from china on the 17th for arrival the 18th (best case) with a days to assess the modifications (19th) before approval means that there is simply no way that a MP batch of cases can be cast, shipped, and used to assemble pandora's before the Texas factory breaks for the holidays. This is ignoring factors such as silk screening, board population (if necessary) and shipping from the factory to distibutors (GBAX, ED etc) or final shipping to players.
I think its safe to say that only a select few team members and dev's will see a Pandora on their doorstep this side of late January (assuming spin up times on production etc) - i.e. those recieving a MK0 unit from the already pictured batch.
It doesnt worry me personally... whats another month between friends, but its a real shame to have missed the (symbolic) Christmas shipping window, it will feed the trolls and naysayers.
