Last update I got from sweeter was that they were expecting a shipment from Moog on the 12/20 for my order. I have emailed them for an update since it is the 27th now and have still heard nothing. I'll keep you guys posted on their response.
EDIT:
Your order is still in tact. I checked the ETA again today and it got pushed into next year. The tentative ETA is the 11th, although that can still change.
Sorry for the delay, I hope we see these rather soon.
14 weeks and counting... not including the additional shipping needed from sweetwater. My original delivery estimation was for 11/15 and this is the 3rd major delay. It's all starting to feel like some elaborate troll at this point. I'm going to go cry myself to sleep.

*sigh* Last time I e-mailed my UK dealer about my order they didn't reply. I've only checked three times in the eleven weeks since I ordered. Bit miffed. They've always said they can't give me a proper estimated date either. Starting to wish I'd just got a stock Electric Blue instead....

I just got notification that my Select Series has been shipped. If you ordered a Mahogany or Maple from Sweetwater, the floodgates may have been opened...

Anyone in the US had a walnut yet? That's what I'm waiting for here across the pond. Presumably they're doing them 'wood by wood'.

@CarlRoda - Out of curiosity, what did the Sweetwater sticker on the back say?
Mine said 17 of 24 - Mahogany. I'm wondering if that means only 24 of the last run
were made of any light color. (I guess it's just geek info...)

Mine says NovaMusik #3 of 24 Whitewash
I think they're doing 24 of each wood with the 10 year anniversary badge on the side cab.

Well after another delay due to storms on the east coast making it impossible to ship, the ever elusive voyager is set to arrive tomorrow (1/8). Here's crossing my fingers that it will arrive in pristine condition. It's great to see some success stories rolling in. I hope to add another one for you guys tomorrow.

@kbmh - i guess mine is not a nÂș of 24 only pieces, i bought it in Europe in "Thomann" and they have it on stock (the last one by the way) but i think they will make more as they have "in stock again from 31.1.2013".
But this sounds like real fire!
I hope you all guys get your soon, is a really special and impressive machine!

@misterpete: Strangely mine is earlier than yours, which makes me guess that the Select Series have a different set of serial numbers. Mine is 1661 (#SS1661) - I noticed that in the product registration pulldown it lists each Select Series by color variation (Select Series - Electric Blue) so I'm not sure if that serial number would represent the 1661st Electic Blue Select Series or if the Select Series share the serial number pool regardless of color.
(Sadly mine has a tiny dent in the back wood which I must have done. But it's in the back so I can ignore it! Can't make noise out of that end!)
Sorry for the wait restlessboy. Once it does arrive, the pain and frustration of waiting fades...

Got the notification today. Repairs are finished and it's on the way back. 7 weeks wait plus 5 weeks repair wait = 12 weeks total

Just arrived today. Here is my Voyager in Mahogany, Lunar. Apparently number 24 of 24. I also found some signatures hiding behind the back panel.
Lunar backlight on (looks light blue in person, the pitch and mod wheels are much more white).

Flash on so you can see the wood finish better.

Signatures hiding under the packpanel.

Voyager looking right at home.
