May 22: First shipments start[1]. Helpers on the production line seem to have been paid in pandora, first one here[2]. By June 25th, the parts which arrived in the first shipment were exhausted, with approximately 400 shipped to GBAX customers, and 200 to EvilDragon's customers in mainland Europe. Some 50 odd units shopped with only one fully working nub (to pre-orderers who skipped the queue), and a further 7 were auctioned on Ebay by Craig for £xxx. These shipments went to people who pre-ordered in the first 1.5 hours (roughly). The highest price on ebay for one of these first ~600 units was ~$1600???
