Actually hit stage 5 yesterday, ship in 5-10 business days, so excitement building up!
But then I realized that after it's done, it still needs to make the cross country trip to NY. A pre 4th of July delivery is thus looking more difficult.

I guess I should have been more specific. I ordered 6/18 and payment processed 6/18 so I've passed Stage 1.

No worries. I saw Alex mention somewhere that a bunch of Bolts were due to be built today and, sure enough, I received my Stage 2 and Stage 3 emails just a little bit ago.
