Just got my DS-2 email a minute or two ago, ordered.

me too!!

snuck in on the preprder list earlier today

Cool for you. Curious... I wonder if there were less pre-orders than "available stock" on hand in the UK, for that to have worked for you.

I ordered mine (l.i.t.e.r.a.l.l.y) 24 hours ago.

I ordered mine (literally) 48 hours ago.

not sure as last night when i looked, it said preorders were closed.
then today i looked and it said sign up, so i did expecting it to be a future batch, then got an email.

Oh, interesting. How cool is THAT! I'm re-watching the SonicState demo video with that Matt (or Maths) dude, as we type. Really quite excited for this piece of kit and the countless hours I'll spend mindlessly twiddling away, until I derive something that will make it appear that I know what I'm doing.

im still hoping for it to appear i have a clue

but yup, looks like a fun little box, even without patching from other gear. definitely more useful than the theremin, as much as i love that too. although, can't see the cat playing the drone synth as much.

Yes. AS noted in the ordering email, they are stocked, and ready to ship. I have to reroute it, as I can't receive UPS here (no building access) but it is shipped.

I ordered mine (l.i.t.e.r.a.l.l.y) 24 hours ago.

looks like they definitely over ordered
got an email offering it for order, from all the available countries.

OR... they really meant what they said regarding "first come, first served". I appreciated/admired the way they handled this, with the "be prepared/coming soon" email, then the "heads-up/really-soon" email, followed by the "buy now" link. If one didn't "buy now" within a fixed 'window-of-opportunity', that stock would be freed-up immediately. Pretty clever compared to other pre-orders I've been in on.

OR... they intentionally had more stock than pre-orders, so they could do exactly what they have done. Notwithstanding, it could appear to be somewhat deceptive up front, while providing a 'second-chance' to those who were on-the-list. (I just got that email also).

Then too, since you (we) have placed your (our) order(s), and are thus 'on-their-buyer-list' and now become aware of more being available, you (we) might be inclined to share that information with others. win/win.
