People who bought Sea Hawk miss one great card because impatience.
You will see how Hybrid look inside case compare to Sea Hawk.
And EVGA offer Hybrid for fair price, at least for USA market, for EU we will see.
But 729$ is really competitive price. Cheaper than Classified and both have custom PCB and 8+8 pin and same clock.
But Classified look extreme well through Window Side panel.
LED Logo on black background with 4 small screws from both side on metal surface look better than ever. 

I bought the ftw off amazon because regardless if i wait for it to be released or not it will still take up to 2 weeks for amazon to receive some but they usually get in to pre-order when i am asleep lol. So i dont think patience is key here....by the time i can get my hands on one they probably already developing a 1080ti hybrid

1080Ti won't be out until Feb-Mar 2017.  That is about the 6 month period that Nvidia holds on the Ti version being released AFTER the flagship Titan X.  So, don't hold your breath too long ;-)
 
And, we'll be really pissed when Nvidia releases the 1100 series with HBM2 (finally) later in 2017

Good luck finding one.  These cards are only in stock for 30 seconds at a time, with wait periods of 2 weeks between each brief 'in-stock' status.  The production rate of ANY GTX1080 variant card is absolutely horrendous.  Nvidia should be ashamed of their lack of capability to produce these GPUs faster.  This issue is causing a huge delta between supply and demand.  3rd party scalpers are buying up all the stock and reselling for $250+ over MSRP.  Had Nvidia produced these cards in mass quantities, these problems wouldn't exist.  One would think that Nvidia would eventually get it right, but sadly no.

Guys who bought Founders Edition could freely to install Hybrid kit...
I saw pictures and with NVIDIA famous backplate (same as on GTX980) graphic card look extremely nice.

I agree that buying a Founder's Edition and then adding the Hybrid kit is a viable solution.  However, in all honesty the best bang for the buck would be to buy the base GTX1080 card for $609 and then install the Hybrid kit, which would save you $90 vs. the Founder Edition upgrade option ;-)

And how is your EVGA Hybrid running when you get it more than 60 days from now?
 
They are all good cards.  Slightly over clockable, but mostly the same in terms of the numbers.  The waiting game can only go so long.  If I snag one next week, great, but little to zero chance of them having 30 or more available.
 
Share your picture when you get one :)

Sadly, the EVGA GTX1080 FTW Hybrid will not fit in small form factor cases such as the M1 NCASE.  The PCB is too large and runs up against the side door.  The case can be physically modded to make the card fit, but most folks aren't willing to cut into the metal just get a card to fit.  Also, 3rd part PCI-E adapters are required as well in order to allow the power cables access to the 2 x 8-pin PCI-E connectors.

I wait Hybrid card, not kit, GTX1080 Hybrid.
Maybe is not even so important 8+8 pin, but definitely is better.
I would not complain even with FE+Hybrid kit but Founders Edition 700$+120$ Hybrid Kit is 820$.
But EVGA GTX1080 Hybrid cost 730$. 100$ less and 120MHz higher clock.
Hybrid kit is nice solution if someone didn't want to wait and now have Founders Edition.
I saw a 2-3 video clips where people complain on temperatures, even want to back their FE models.
In that situation if they have card 120$ for nice temps is OK price.
