I ordered in late July and I believe I'm in the second (or later?) batch. That being a very VERY generalized statement base on some early predictions from the BB website and traffic here.

They've had some comments in their website FAQ (regarding when different order/production runs will ship) I think but I haven't kept track of it. By my own estimation, I was in the first handful of Indiegogo supporters at the $179 price; I was later told I was literally the first. So if I don't get mine close to first, that will be a traveshamockery! 
From the "mybeatbuddy" website - "Our August delivery sold out on May 27, 2014; those who pre-ordered after that date will be shipped to starting on September 26, 2014. Those who pre-ordered on May 27 or earlier have been shipped to."

+1 on separating the hype thread from the use/review/questions thread.
Plus, that way, this thread's pet troll can feel comfortable unsubscribing and sticking to the thread which only deals with real world hard facts

Yeah, but shouldn't that thread be started now ... someone has hands-on already.
I'm with ArtechnikA: in on the first day and happily waiting the arrival of my Beatbuddy. Hé, I survived 43 years on this planet without a BB, I will survive a few more days. Besides, I'm typing this on an Apple commuter, so it will even be longer before I can start messing with the software.
@hasbeen - I am curious as to your experiences without having messed with the software at all. I am a bit (not hugely but a bit) of a technophobe and if the BB can work well without creating any new beats it would be a huge positive for me. I too use a Zoom and while I prefer its sounds to many others I have tried, I can't say I am a huge fan. I get that the real genius will be the ability to create very intricate sections etc but I don't see myself ever really doing that. If the thing is super fun out of the box, that's where my interest gets piqued.
Also - I would recommend you guys stay off of @Ukiah Bass - he is just trying to steer you guys away from confirmation bias which is rampant here. All we want is a decent review, not one that makes you feel better because you spent a lot of money and waited 6 months.

Thanks HasBeen, for your precursory glimpse into what awaits most of us here.
As for you first-day adopters, I hate you all because I wound up spending about 71 bucks more than you.
At least I didn't wait for full retail, that would grate even more... So I'm an earlyish adopter, but Oooohhh to be a smug earliest adopter. *sigh* It took me a while to decide whether the BB would be of use to me/affordable/ROI...
Reminds me of the Clash lyrics... "He who ****s nuns, will later join the church"! However, I agree with Mosfed... it takes all kinds to make a thread more fun and interesting. Ramp it up!
"We are little TB Lambers, who have a Beat Buddy on the way — blah, blah, blah... We are Beat Buddy sheep who want no further delay — blah, blah, blah..."

Hello Mosfed: Yes.....my review was sans software; it didn't come with any. A quick summary anyway. What advantages does this have over the Zoom when software is not taken into account?
* More intuitive interface
* Drum sample sounds
* You can add "on the fly" accents with the optional foot pedal.
* You can add fills and transition to revised beats on the fly.
What disadvantage to the Zoom?
* Not nearly as many factory presets as the Zoom. Man...the Zoom as a bazillion.
* Price? Maybe.....
That is it.
In conclusion. I'm like you in that I'm not very likely to go into software and program beats; I'd rather play bass. Having said that, if this was a permanent piece of gear for me, the Zoom would not get anymore use.
Thanks for that mate.
Btw - I like snow too. Check out some of our Tram Rider skiing videos - link in my sig. Starting around episode 4 we really got our sh1t together.

Meh...he has done a lot more than that. He made some very valuable contributions several pages back regarding software development and the like before shifting to trolling. I am sure people view me as one of the biggest "cheerleaders" around here, and I agree that it could be easy to lose perspective amid all the hype, but there's a difference between being the voice of reason to balance the hype and just being rude ("blah blah blah," asking/demanding that the thread be shut down, certain vulgar comparisons, etc.).
Agreed! As if my own hype meter wasn't already up to 11.
As for you first-day adopters, I hate you all because I wound up spending about 71 bucks more than you.
Let's just say I HOPE I will feel smug when my unit arrives and everyone is gassing for it and I know that I paid the cheapest possible price for it!

Wow....I checked out the video. Very, very cool. I'm jealous. That is fantasy stuff compared to the Vermont mountains I hit. Bring on winter
Around episode 5,6,7 you can see the end of our season which was freaking epic. Come visit this winter and I can easily hook you up with a place to stay etc.
Never thought I would get excited about a DHL-tracking number but... I HAVE A TRACKING NUMBER!!!!!!
