[Necr0lancer]

The lack of updates and not getting an invite today is saddening . Hopefully tomorrow will be the day!

11 months now! I'm February 2020 so fingers crossed I'll be getting mine in the next few months.

The wait list curve is getting steeper. If the last slope continues at a straight line (twelve wait list days per one business day), the wait list should be over in 5 1/2 weeks. Assuming there is enough stock to fill the orders.

Lot's of assumptions here, of course.

Isn't that what humans excel at?

Contact Fractal. Support@fractalaudio.com or give them a call. 7

We're just users, so we can't say. Fractal won't say on the board. You have to communicate directly with them.

Interesting. I hadn't done the analysis with date of invite. Thanks for the different metric. It will be interesting if it holds.

No wonder Fractal was confident about 8-10 weeks/end of summer. I think they must be having the stock to make that assumption. Unless they ran into the same COVID related issues like they did with the FX III.

I'm sure they ran into the same issues. It all occurred at the same time. Both products are made in China, and the CPUs, components, manufacturing and shipping are very susceptible to illness-related delays.

Hey guys meant to put this last night.

Order date September 23rd.

I'm guessing you meant "Waitlist date September 23rd" correct?

Sure did. Man I should have woken up before sending this out.

Yesterday was my invite day, but I have to wait a little to purchase it.
Waitlist: 9/26/19
Invite: 8/24/20

 

[Necr0lancer]

I should be getting my invite today. If I were to purchase it immediately, would they ship it out the same day?

 

[Tocoapuffs]

Mine just shipped and I ordered yesterday roughly at 4:05pm EDT.

So it'll probably take a day before they ship it.

I still can’t believe I got myself added to the FX8 waitlist in September 2019 thinking it was the AX8! Had no idea about FM3 then either.

Was just introduced to the fractal family at that point and ended up ordering an AXE FX III in October. Best decision ever!

 

[Necr0lancer]

Seems like they send the bulk of the invites in the afternoon around 2-3pm EST.

I just hope I get my invite today so I can have it delivered before the weekend.

I think the speculation that the start of the wait list would be particularly heavy, then start to accelerate was somewhat accurate!

Wooot Woot. Gratz Vans! Looks like Fractal has topped the crest of the hill and is picking up some downhill momentum.
