It's when rumors like this start flying around that I really wish there was some kind of update to reference. I understand that shipments can be late, and I totally respect the amount of effort that the guys have been putting in to ship everything out, but for a large portion of their clients who have yet to get any gear let alone a shipping notice, it's pretty frustrating.
I'd rather hear about a shipping delay from Saga when they know than let a bunch of rumors fly around before confirming them a week later. At least then people can try to make other arrangements for outerwear.
