Also just got this from RR:
Dear Pre-order Customer,
We regret to inform you that due to further unforeseen production delays the Limited Edition Box Set for Dream Theater's The Astonishing will be arriving a bit later this spring. We anticipate the box being completed in early May, arriving to you middle of the month. We sincerely apologize for the length of time you will need to wait. The hand-painted limited edition custom NOMAC inside the box will be worth the wait, we assure you!
In anticipation of the custom box set we plan to do everything we can to make this delay up to you by providing you with exclusive content and looks inside The Astonishing album, on a monthly basis.
First we wanted to give you a look at the LIMITED EDITION PIN that you will be receiving with your album on January 29th.
Thank you for your patience as we work on completing the box set.
Regards,
Roadrunner Records
