Although we did have the MD-9600 listed for pre-order for quite a while, we took it off pre-order status for a bit due to numerous delays from TYT. We just put it back on pre-order after TYT informed us it should ship sometime this month. Whether that actually happens or not depends entirely on the manufacturer.
If it's any consolation, we're waiting right along with you.
