you can monitor who is getting their units here... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=426644.0 so far several have already reported they received their units... also it's official... http://hashfast.com/shipping-update-batch-1_jan23/

cointerra is getting ready to ship http://cointerra.com/update-engineering-production-status/ and i believe first batch will be out as soon as in a week time they are just ironing out last minute power consumption issues... anyway my point is he's holding something that still has value and come next difficulty with all that enmasse shipping he'll be staring at probably 5btc worth of gear..
