They ran a very very successful kickstarter. I think people who have them paid into a different reward tier and got stuff early.

No actually this depends on your location. I was an early baker and I am still waiting for my device in the EU, while they already shipped it to ppl who pre-orderd after the kickstarter was finished.

You can also buy it in EU from an official reseller, with same day shipping depending on your location: https://lab401.com/products/flipper-zero

I dont know what happend with the shipping management, I hope I will receive my device soon.

Mine arrived earlier today. I was one of the backers of their Kickstarter campaign, which I think ran two years ago. They've shipped thousands of these already.

Like ixtli said, I am an early kickstarter backer from two years. They got crushed from the microchip shortage and fulfilled all backers before continuing on to preorders.

I got 2x via the original Kickstarter campaign as an early backer. Have had them in-hand since...March 2022?
