I put my name on the list the same day as a friend on a well known photo store. I was 5th on the local list, and the store is fairly small. Well, 6 weeks from the offical launch date, I got my D800, my friend has been notified that his will be arriving this Tuesday, almost 3 months later. Some of the local stores stay below the high volume radar, but still get allotments. I like to buy my SLRs from the local stores for better service also, if something goes wrong, I drop it off there, and they take care of the sending to Nikon/and communication with the service center, versus, me, the lone person sending the UPS box to that place in the sky.. called Nikon Service. On the otherhand, after 5 months of waiting, my friend is one excited photographer waiting for his D800 to show up.</blockquote>
