You're look at a good wait of a month if not 2 for the Aorus Master if you're 167. They are trickling. If you were around 10-20 in the queue I'd say you'd have a decent chance, but sorry mate, that far back, not a chance.

Oh sweet MSI Ventus, you're so close yet so far. Will be having a go for a 3070 at launch for sure. But I'm not holding out any joy.
You need to separate what he believes and what he hopes from what he knows.
I'm quite sure he is talking to all partners to get a sense of what might be possible, but nothing there can be depended on.
What he knows is when a consignment is in the hands of the delivery agent and on the way to OCUK with an expected delivery date.
That is what he said he would tell us and so far that is what he has been doing.
With Inno for example as it is a direct shipment he has been able to confirm when that is expected to leave the factory and when it is expected to arrive at OCUK and he shared that with us.
Some other retailers are sharing their hopes and expectations, that is not what Gibbo said he would do.
That's why everyone outright owns houses isn't it?
Except you often do not just "wait a bit": someone might be unable to afford £700 on the spot, but can afford buying on finance for £20 a month for 35+ months; if he decided, instead of buying on credit, to save £20 a month until he or she has £700, it would:
1- take them close to 2 (two) years to accumulate the money for the purchase
2- be always at risk that if he has an unexpected expense of (say) £100 or £200 to fix a boiler, the car, an unexpected family emergency that requires them to take a ******* expensive train ticket to Liverpool, would extend the time to get to the amount needed to purchase by 5-6 months or more.
The same unexpected expense has less of an impact when what you pay back monthly is £20, instead, because the item you wanted to purchase is already in your hands and it doesn't push back the date you'll be able to reach your target.
You pay more in the long run when you buy on credit, sure, but for some people it's the only way to realistically be able to possess something that can make you feel better and help you not give in to depression (here, hey. That was me. F'ing depressed as **** if it wasn't for videogames and ****).
There's nothing more expensive than not having money, but unfortunately credit sometimes is the only way to make an unaffordable expense affordable.

Jesus guys, give it a rest!
ahhh yeah but no but... apparently that's different because reasons..
When and what did you order?
They have not sent out 1000 cards lmfao. I'd be surprised if they've sent out anything over 250.
MSI VENTUS at 3pm on the day of release
well for what its worth.... i ordered my msi gaming x trio 17/09/2020 14:40
2/10/2020 queue position 94 < was my first email... regarding queue
15/10/2020 queue position 87
so 7 cards? since launch? iv always come here over the years for items and never had a problem in the past
i did buy a pre built 2 weeks ago without a gpu cause i threw my 1070 in till 3080 release... was a little worried as to why my cpu under a cinebench r20 was running super hot for stock settings even upgraded from 120mm aio to 240mm aio (mid 80s even hitting low-mid 90s leaving no headroom for anything rang up for some info/help to what the 10700k runs at heat wise first guy i spoke to i rang wrong department he was nice helpful and polite pointed me in right direction on what extension to ring
when i rang the right extension he was about as helpful as a chocolate firegaurd he ended up saying its all fine ect ect temps are normal
anyways opened hwinfo64 i found out the cpu is volting up to 1.45- 1.5v
went into bios fixed that **** myself straight away it also explained the super high temps and spikes but morale of the story is over the years some people at overclockers have lost that good customer/store relationship... sadly or they dont give a ****

Is this the Martin Lewis convention and do you win a 3080 for the best cosplay?
I'm in Position 2. Those queue jumps are from people cancelling. No change my end.

There is also a post in this thread quoting customer support stating the keys were/will be allocated to the first 1000 orders and not based on the when the first 1000 cards are shipped. However, known how dodgy and conflicting the information coming out of OC Customer support this maybe incorrect.
Seems that If you’ve ordered a non oc card in general you’re kind of getting screwed over here. I feel your pain those of you who have ordered TUF non OC and Zotac non OC. On the bright side us non oc lot can all sit here and complain for a longer time...
If you have a code it will show as a free bundle in the order
if not you didn't get one
This is what i was told when I asked when they would.be sent.
I have one showing on my order

And ten days passes with no news on TUF OC's. And people think we're doing OK in this queue!!
Queue has moved 6 cards since the 2nd, not since the 17th. 30 Trios went out on 29th Sept, 5 on 18th Sept, and possibly a few more in shipments we only know were "MSI".
There was some weirdness with the Trio shipment yesterday (OC customer support says they had 10 cards, 12th in the queue got a shipment email, 5th didn't, and the queue only moved 6 for the earliest number in it anyone has reported). So who knows what exactly is going on (though many of the theories being voiced aren't favourable to OC).
