I have been reading both forums the Official BFL forum and this one and I have to this point and time still have no Idea on the time it takes to deliver these.
Actually, we have a daily blog from customer service that gives exactly these updates as product ships out the door.

A glance at the blog shows that they are now shipping orders that were placed in September for the FPGA products. These are the products were supposed to begin shipping around this time last year, and actually began shipping in March 2012 I believe.
So my order placed in Sept will be at my door about March -April of 2013?
You MAY have it by Jan 2013,if they get the production line setup
