Okay, so according to that, I should be getting a notification fairly soon then.  Since I hit the list (9/18) for a 3080 XC3 Black.  I've completely built a new system, and am just waiting on the upgrade from a 1070 to the 3080.

Purchased a 3080 FTW3 Ultra directly from EVGA through the auto-notify signup.  Received the notice, paid online to EVGA, then Customs brokerage, and received my new card within 3 days from California to Ontario, Canada.  Installed it easily, added a 3rd 8 pin cable, and hooked up my 4 monitors.  I use my system for flight simulation (MSFS 2020 and X-Plane).  This new card replaces 2 6-year-old GTX970's.   I run the program on a 72" Samsung TV in 4K, with the other 3 monitors in HD for auxiliary programs (map, chatter, GPS).  The resolution is superb, the framerate is excellent at 30FPS compared to under 10FPS before.  Most settings are Ultra or High.  No stutters at all.  A great purchase. A great purchase!

Yes, buying a $700+ graphics card so you can run a game at 30fps. What is the world we live in

FS 2020 is very playable at 30 FPS.

Well if you're specifically queuing for the Kingpin, it shouldn't be months.  Maybe a month, if you queue now, but not more than 2.  JacobF did say we're expecting Hybrid drops, including a Kingpin one, this coming week (tomorrow thru Friday) sometime.  Hopefully he ends up being right, but that of course likely depends on when the boat gets here etc so to speak.  One would assume if he's fairly confident we're getting those drops this week, that they're already in port & have been processed or are being processed to get to eVGA's warehouse in Cali.

Excuse me but what or who is Kingpin and where is this list that you all are speaking of? Thanks.
I'm 10/30 BTW.

I am hoping tomorrow for a big drop!

If you don't know who Kingpin is and why he has a GPU with his name on it, Google is your friend - in summary, he's one of the world's top overclockers, currently works for eVGA, designs their highest-end GPUs of each generation, which is why the 3090 K|ngp|n exists and is pretty much the only card in the top 10 of the LN2/overall world record leaderboards for Port Royal.  His real name is Vince, but "K|ngp|n" is the handle/tag he has gone by since way back in the day.
 
The list is located in the NA 3090 Kingpin queue thread here:  and the queue list itself of people that have self-registered as being in queue for one is available in the link via Enewt's signature, and on the first page of that thread.

Ahem, cough, cough TiN. Illya Tsemenko I tried to upload a picture from the XDevs site but it was blocked. It's this great shot of him in front of a wall full of oscilloscopes, etc. IIRC he no longer works for EVGA but he was Kingpin's partner in crime for many years. He's also the one with the engineering background. Kingpin is the best GPU overclocker in the world. But he's not an engineer. It seems this forum is really picky about links. But there is a Youtube video where Steve from Gamer's Nexus visits Kingpin and Tin's lab in Taiwan. He's like a kid in a candy store, it's great. Highly recommended.

Reports abound claiming ~$150 price increases for 3080s due to tariff exemptions ending Jan1.
 
But I still see no evidence of it here on the EVGA site.  So I'm remaining hopeful my position in the queue won't pop up after the $699 card suddenly becomes $849.

I mean, the newegg prices already went up, but not THAT much.  The 3080 FTW3 Ultra went up ~$50 so far.  3090s are getting hit harder from the looks of it, as I posted a few days ago, the 3090 Strix is now $2019, the 3090 FTW3 Ultra is now $1939, that equates to a ~$130 price increase on the 3090s.  That's a yikes.
 
I would expect that eVGA's site will have to increase their prices soon enough, but right now they may still be selling cards that came in before said Tariff Exemption expired, which is why the prices haven't went up yet.
 
As if the situation with GPU supplies & scalping wasn't bad enough, these price increases are just going to make scalping prices go up more too.
