I just called to check on my Sharper Image RC and they told me it wouldn't be shipped until the 17th. When I ordered it back in October they said it would be sent on the 3rd.
They mentioned how bad their back order was. If I ordered one today, I wouldn't get it until probably way passed February as well. These things have to be the biggest things since...well I can't think of anything even coming close. Tiny Rc's have already trippled Tickle Me Elmo and Cabbage Patch sales I'm sure.
