    First, I want to say thanks to everyone on the boards. My decision to buy came after lots of reading what you all had to say. Finally ordered a Veda P180HM from MALIBAL on 11/25. I am hoping it ships out today. As I said in another thread, waiting is the worst part :D I'll give my impressions and maybe do a mini-review when it arrives.

    I ordered a P150HM on the 26th. It was processed on the 27th and now I'm eagerly awaiting the shipping notification too!

    Yesterday, I was surprised to read that MALIBAL actually ships from New York instead of Las Vegas. That should shave a day or two off the time-in-transit as I'm in Pennsylvania. :D

    I ordered a couple hours after you, same boat. It does say 5-7 business days, so technically shipping on the 6th would be in that range. I suspect they had a lot of orders over Black Friday.

    They do? Thought all of their products were shipped from California. I'm also in the waiting for it to be shipped as well (I hope).

    Added the specs to my signature. I'll be adding a 256GB Samsung SSD to it when it gets here. :)

    i'm sure that Malibal / Xotic / Mythlogic had a TON of Black Friday orders based off of the forum posts and what just a small fraction of people said.

    I am hopeful they were indeed "black" for black friday (black means "in the black" financially)

    Of course I am hoping for sooner than later, but I won't be upset or surprised if its the latter.

    I put my order in on the 11/29 (updated it on the 30th). Unfortunately, I don't expect my new Satori (P170HM) to arrive before The Old Republic does. But that's cool so long as I'm off shift and at home when I comes so that I don't get the run around from UPS. UPS already declined to leave some Arctic Silver that I ordered at my the door this afternoon or ever leave or a door tag. I didn't find out until Amazon sent me an email 2 hours ago.
