The preorder page says that there are 26 days from today left in the preorder so that puts it right around the late first or early second week of August.
Just keep in mind what happened last time someone tried to guesstimate shipping dates for this light. At least the BG order page is reliable with regard to back ordered vs shipped status.
I would expect these to actually start arriving sometime around the middle of September. Much patience is required with these sort of things. Fingers crossed that I’m wrong!
So I just got an email saying that my SC26 has been sent out and out to arrive August 1st. I’ll believe it when I see actual tracking info but I’m pleasantly surprised.
