FYI, Agena Astro now has these in stock. Mine shipped today. Website lists them as being "in stock."
Don't know how many they have, but I do know that OPT has a big backlog of orders for them. Was told this by sales earlier this week.
Only putting this on CN.

Looks like telescopes.com might have some now as well. My order is finally "In Fulfillment" after 2 months of waiting! The ship time on the product has also gone from "Ships in 15 business days" to "Ships next day". Get 'em while they're hot!

Yesterday Hayneedle (amazon) told me mine would ship. When I mentioned the long delay and asked if they would comp me overnight delivery, they agreed. Of course, on Friday "overnight" means Monday. But still . . .
Looks like the dam has finally broken. I hope ibase got some kind of commission or thanks from Baader, 'cause it was his opinions that put me over the edge into buying one and I'm guessing I'm not the only one!

Starrancher and I are still waiting for our commission checks from Baader, I hope it does not take as long as they took to re-stock the Hyperion zooms!  
Yup, the dam has broken - it won't be long now, world dominion is within the horizon.

Baader, I can vouch for Tank, he too is a member of the cadre that valiantly fought for the hearts and mind of EP community members to make possible the imperial reign of the Hyperion zoom. Better prepare a big fat check for him too!

Sure Joel, would be delighted to let you and Brian use my wondrous Hyperion zoom again; I remember the time when you both peered through it and watched your unbelieving wowed reaction as you viewed Saturn (still visible that time) and the starry night skies with the zoom and in unison said that the Hyperion zoom rocks! Now that the supply dam is wide open, world-wide invasion and occupation awaits as the HypZoom puts an end to the EP wars and an unassailable and unconditional victory is secured, hail Hyperion zoom!

Mine just shipped from Hayneedle after a two month wait. They took off 10%, presumably because of the delay. Good on them.

Nice discount! If you ask for it maybe most vendors would be willing to give a discount, given the long waiting period and the order was not canceled.

That's one steal of a price for a brand new latest version Hyperion zoom, congrats! Can't think of any other astro purchase that will give as much value to such $$$ as the BH zoom.

Just received mine today. I thought I was getting a great deal as I ordered with a 15% off coupon. But apparently all of us that waited this long are getting a discount. Oh well. I did notice that is has a little clunk at the 24mm setting, presumably from the element group that has to move with the zoom.
Anyone found a lens light shield solution as it does not appear that the eyecup is the 'fold up' type.

Paul, it has a twist-up eyecup! It's not obvious but try this: twist the rubber top counter-clockwise and the eyecup will smoothly rise up; twist clock-wise and it will go down.
