Just wait until the board comes in - you'll only be looking at a 24 hour delay in shipping and you'll know that they actually have the boards there. The BFG board was supposed to be in stock for the Friday before Christmas, but as far as I know, they aren't in still, so they would have your money for an extra week to 10 days. They are putting the dates up in good faith, but unfortunately when it comes to getting stuff delivered I prefer to order when the stock is there.
