Wow, where did you order yours?

I have 2 of them, one each from the 2 places taking preorders on day 1 and I wasn't first in line or anything. I got both of mine about the middle of June and they didn't cost any more than expected.

I got mine from RS, preordered the week it went on sale. My cousin ordered his a month later and got it last month. 12 week shipping to the midwest. Crazy.
I orderer from RS in the first week and got it months ago for a total cost of $41 including shipping to Israel.
The price difference is due to 35GBP = 55USD currently. To quote the email I received: "Delivery Type Desc Standard Delivery (Despatch expected within 12 week(s))"
Right, but the theoretical price of a pi is 35USD, not 35GBP.
Just checked several vendors listed on www.raspberrypi.org and none are available presently.
