Any information on 1080 FTW/SC availability for Dutch retailers? Are any of them direct partners? (Azerty, 4Launch, Alternate, Afuture, Megekko come to mind)

Caseking.de is now saying EVGA is denying the previously mentioned delivery date (June 28) and have put all cards on Unknown status.
 
What is going on? Its been weeks and not a single FTW seems to have hit European soil.

EVGA sets the Suggested Retail Price, but the retailer can charge whatever they want. Although if they go too crazy, their stockability might go down.


Wrong. Retailer has to be in compatible price range of other sellers. Price is set by manufacturer (evga) according to supply and demand.

Example:
Asus just called on New egg to increase prices on Strix.

That's not true. Manufacturers set the MSRP in the U.S. the retailers can either sell at the MSRP and stay in the manufacturers good graces or choose their own price and risk potentially annoying the manufacturer. Companies like EVGA do direct distribution, thus have more control over official resellers. Other manufacturers sell through distributors and have limited control over pricing.

In the U.S. it is considered illegal to contract fixed pricing. Competition between retailers, especially online, generally causes retailers to use the MSRP in the case of high value items. Underselling your competitor doesn't work very well if EVGA decides to punish you by shipping more cards to your competitor. This prices on goods tend to stabilize. You ever notice how Walmart doesn't sell Apple products at anything other than a few cents off. Apple could just pull most product from the store otherwise.

Same goes for the SC board btw.
According to a mail I received from them in the morning, they have received SC stock but it seems all have gone on preorders, but also stock of the Non-SC ACX standard version(!?) FTW expected on 29th. I feel like there is a lot of trolling going on here which is not funny if having already paid 750E...

I'm very patient, but have been patient for exactly one month now, not for the card itself alone, but also accurate information. Some FTWs are being delivered, which is great (for their respective owners), but the EU market seems to be ignored somewhat. Do any FTWs actually exist that are meant for the EU market and if so, where are they? In a warehouse next to a factory, or near a harbour ready for shipping or just lost at sea, maybe even the Bermuda triangle? Some more transparency would be greatly appreciated, shows that we're not forgotten.
