Mine is on the way as well....though the shipping costs were a bit steep I thought Dowser?   :'(

That said, no price can be placed on outdoor gadgetry!!!!!

 :o  I haven't checked out yet so that will be a nice surprise for me at lunch time  :D

Their web site has come on a bit.

Anyone trying to speak to them about being the UK authorised seller?

I wonder if customs and excise will stop these, and then charge to release them?   ???

Though,  I'm really wanting to see it in the flesh.  Wonder how much heat it will give out if any governing bodies decide to rain on our fires?

Mine has shipped.  UPS collected it yesterday in Seattle and have taken it to Portland, Oregon and Louisville Kentucky today.

Expected delivery date out of UPS Newtownabbey is the 11th June.  Like Hud I am well excited.

Soon as mine arrives I'm hoping to take it Island hopping in Strangford for a few days with my Canadian where hopefully it will power my iphone for music and ibooks for relaxing.

Haha!!!

Yes, as much as I am soooooo excited to get this thing, part of me is completely cr*ping myself that they are gonna be pure rubbish and I'm gonna be left with an extremely expensive gimmic that I've raved about for months to everyone....
