I am not sure where to post this or where to find out if it has been but just wanted to let people know UPS says they are being shipped
 
Looks like a new batch arrived in the USA recently, I got mine last week from In Touch Tools. Good stuff!!!!
 
I ordered mine on day one.  3 of them.  Still have not seen them.  Took the paypal money that day too

PayPal always comes out at time of transaction. I've ordered some of the Woodpecker one time tools in the past and paid that day for a tool that was coming months later.
 
I've ordered plenty of woodpecker onetime tools and expected to wait. But waiting 5-6 months is different for a sander.  I'm not bitter about it.  I'm just kinda shocked that this happened. 
 
The Pro5 was a one time tool also.

The only difference was the offering time was much shorter than woodpeckers' typical call period. But balancing that out was insanely low price.  Lead time is a bit shorter than WP or about the same if you have to wait til March for yours.

The only real difference is PERCEPTION.  Woodpeckers has conditioned their customers to accept ordering within a window and then waiting months to receive their goodies.  Festool has conditioned their customers to expect to get their tools from the dealer network in a couple of days. 

That the ordering window was only three days stinks, but a short ordering period then waiting for your tool isn't really any different than the WP model.

I gotta give Aldo a call.... Actually I told him to hold on to mine till I get back to the states with te other stuff I ordered
 
Mine is due in tomorrow from Bob Marino - no biggie to me about the wait. $$ was worth it.
