I think we've had a February release date for a few months.

Someone here preordered them, and amazon told them there was guaranteed shipping my Dec 23rd, but I think that date only applies to the things that are in stock (and of course, things that don't come out until February aren't in stock).

I wish they came out sooner, too. Fortunately, February really isn't TOO far away. After Christmas, February is going to be here so fast.
