When compared with the wait we are experiencing here, it was instant!

Sorry to hear about your delay. Being on the waitlist - FREE. In order to retain the unit when offered, you pay 100% or it is allocated to the next person on the waitlist. Due for delivery in about 3 weeks. Not much different to an internet order with a small delay

Yes
Not sure if NZ customers are treated the same with respect to the wait list, I certainly hope they are since it appears the same store is supplying both countries.
Leaving the factory on 29th June apparently, so I'm guessing around 3 weeks afterwards, assuming no delays.
Regular retail price.

yeah so true. Funny thing is, people who have already paid after receiving the pre-order email, and are now waiting, think its going to leave the warehouse on the 29th June. Yet, going by past years of these releases, even though people have paid, it can still take 2+ months to get to the buyer. crazy

Very very poorly managed way of selling a product if you ask me.

Picked mine up today as well, much earlier than expected.

Picked mine up today from IMA too. Still boxed up tonight. Must wait until wifey goes to work tomorrow before unboxing.
That's some expensive chicken scratch!
Proper tone increases egg production by 1000%! If I were the wifey the first place I'd look is the chicken coop Lol!!!!That's some expensive chicken scratch!
Lol...that's funny!
I'm trying to figure out how to hide mine when it arrives too....for it to 'magically' appear in my rack couple of months later. It's the box it comes in that's a giveaway and becomes the evidence to get rid of. Now if only I had a chicken coop.
Looks like New Zealand orders aren't too far away now.

When I bought the XL+ it looked enough like the II that my wife didn't notice
When the III was announced I told her I was getting 2, one for the mancave and one to gig with. She said no one was enough, I agreed and she felt like she won

Haven’t had a chance to play it loud but at bedroom levels it sounded great but so does my axe fx 2 and the axe 8
Going to check today at a proper level
It's here it's here!!!
OMG cannot wait to hear it...Initial observations (Haven't heard it yet - have work to do!)
1/ Looks cool
2/ Blue LED is way too bright - maybe my eyes are dodgy, but it's sort of 'in the way' when you read the meters around it etc.. IE; distracting.
3/ Fan noise.... terrible. Absolutely unacceptable. Right now it's the loudest thing in the studio...absolutely terrible. I have opened it up and checked the bolts were correctly 'loose' - even tried some gel anti-vibration thingys to no avail. (the II wasn't too good either, but that was a draw between the mixing desk fan and the II. I just don't understand how it could be acceptable that something so damn good, and destined for a lot of studios could have fan noise like this. I'll have to create an alternative - but for now, I want to check it out.
We all just KNOW however that the sound and overall usability of this box will absolutely ROCK so I don't want to detract from that.
Ok... I'll finish my work for the day and spend the night in bliss
[Edit] The sound......AMAZINGLY GOOD. Like so many others have tried to express, you come from the II thinking 'how could anything sound better than this?'. The reality is the III does sound better - and it's not subtle. I'm very impressed
Thanks

You look a bit crook mate, think you should have the rest of the week off
Yeah, Pauly - you should definitely take the week off.
If you need someone to come round and check in, you know, to see how you're doing
